Even though it’s ideal to prioritise nutrient-dense meals, you can boost your micros more quickly by using green powders.
Coconut water is an excellent source of minerals, and greens powder is packed with vitamins such as B2, A, C, and K1. Coconut water balances out the bitter taste of the greens powder.
