PhD Woman Launches New Superfood Blend Greens & Berries Summer Fruits

Not too long ago, I attended a low-key press launch for PhD Woman‘s newest product Greens & Berries Summer Fruits. Now this is not your typical protein shake or energy bar the brand is renowne for, this product is…. Wait for it…. a superfood blend! I found this a pleasant surprise that a protein brand had acknowledged the ever growing demand for all things superfoods amongst health concious active women which ultimately led to PhD Woman creating of Greens & Berries Summer fruits.

 What Is In Greens & Berries Summer Fruits?

Greens & Berries is, in a nutshell, a wholesome combination of greens, fruit and vegetable extracts, alongside a specific blend of vitamins and minerals tailored towards supporting the nutritional needs of active women.

My Thoughts

Aside from being high in fibre, containing no added sugar (sucralose) and only 31 calories per serving (1 scoop 10 g),  what I particularly like about this formula the inclusion of numerous micronutrients I have on a daily basis, including  but not limited to Spirulina, Barely Brass, Wheatgrass, Goji Berries and Acai Berries which makes the price of £29.99 for a 500 g tub pretty reasonable considering the cost of Spirulina and Acai Berry Powder on their own.

As far as taste goes, it has a pleasant hint of summer berries without being too overpowering. For me, it is not tastiest green powder I have had the pleasure of tasting, but would still recommend investing in a tub or two should you be looking to increase your micronutrient intake without the heavy price tag purchasing superfoods usually comes with.

I shall conclude my thoughts by expressing this product should NOT be used as a meal replacement, but simply to consume as part of a healthy, balanced diet either mixed with just water or in your favorite drink /  homemade smoothie.
