Athletic Greens Ingredients: Putting the SUPER in Superfood

Both Martin and I have offered up individual Athletic Greens reviews here on the site, and today I want to expand on this, and cover some of the individual Athletic Greens INGREDIENTS. I’ll give you the short version first: They are superb. Plain and simple. This is truly one of the absolute best super green drinks either of us have ever used. Ever.

The backstory on why quality ingredients are so important:

We live in a fast paced world that leaves little time for grocery shopping and cooking healthy meals. Even if a person is able to eat a healthy diet it is quite likely that their meals are going to lack the necessary nutrients to supply their body with proper nutrition.

There are bodies of evidence suggesting that the soil that our food is grown in lacks the nutrients it once had due to the overuse of chemicals and modern farming practices. (Source: http://hortsci.ashspublications.org/content/44/1/15.full)

Unfortunately, this means that a lot of our foods seriously lack vital nutrients. As a result, our bodies struggle to keep up with the toll we put on them.

It’s obvious that without proper nutrition the average person may experience fatigue and possibly a major strain on their overall health. A lot of people rely on supplements; some even take a handful of pills daily just to compensate for a lack of nutrients. Hey, been there and done that myself (and still do to a certain extent!).

Super Green Drinks to the Rescue

Thankfully, as we’ve all discovered and talked about here at HealthTransformation.net, there is an alternative to swallowing a bunch of pills that are often large enough to make them a choking hazard. Just one serving of any number of green superfoods drink formulas can boost any diet. We have tried and used a lot of different blends between all of us here at the site.

Now, while we are not implying that supplements are not healthy or practical, we have found that the nutrients found in the Athletic Greens formula seems to have just about everything the body needs to feel energized and to help maintain our health.

As mentioned, there are numerous different types of green health drinks on the market, so it is vital to find one that is high quality as well as digestible. A lot of these drinks are loaded with chemicals and other ingredients that aren’t optimal (my opinion).

Athletic Greens Ingredients

To sum it up, there are no fillers or artificial ANYTHING in Athletic Greens

The fact that Athletic Greens contains no chemicals, artificial flavors, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or sugar makes it an excellent way to get a daily dose of everything needed to flourish.

As a matter of fact, you won’t find anything harmful in this drink. It is perfect because it lacks GMO’s, pesticides, dairy, wheat, corn, herbicides, sucrose, egg, yeast, lactose, peanuts and animal products.
