Are greens powders worth the hype? Let’s be real: They might look like a superfood miracle, but the benefit is often negligible—especially if you’re already eating a balanced diet. Some have 30+ ingredients—but in tiny amounts that may not actually move the needle on your health. They’re not a substitute for real fruits and vegetables. You still need fiber, phytonutrients, and variety from whole foods.

In short? Greens powders can be convenient, but they’re not all the greens you need.

Heard that inulin is the gut health must-have? Not so fast. While inulin is a prebiotic fiber that can support digestion and health-promotion gut bacteria, supplementing it can be a mixed bag.

For some people, inulin can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort—especially in higher doses or if your gut is sensitive.

A better approach? Focus on a fiber-rich diet with real, whole foods first. Let supplements support, not replace, your nutrition.
