There’s a reason “eat your veggies” was probably the very first food rule you learned way back when. Whole vegetables and fruits are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and nutrition experts unanimously agree that they’re essential for any healthy diet. And yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 estimates that nine out of 10 Americans don’t get the recommended daily amount (around 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit and 2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day).
While fruit and vegetable supplements can’t replace the real deal, they can be complementary, used to up your intake of certain nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals and help you achieve that “just finished a green smoothie” feeling – in a convenient, affordable, and tasty way.
