Multinutrient powders are the new thing in the world of supplements. Rather than popping a pill, you simply add couple of spoonfulls of the powder into a glass of water, or even in recipes like smoothies and bliss balls. I recently sampled Vital Greens multinutrient powder which was a tasty way to get an added nutrient boost. I’m a bit hopeless at remembering to take supplements, but this was easy to add to my smoothie without a second thought.
I see it as a little bit of a nutritional insurance policy – I eat a healthy diet, but this just gives me an added boost, especially for those days when I don’t eat as well as I should. Sometimes a busy lifestyle, illness or stress can increase your nutritional needs, and because I’ve been run down lately, I was excited to give Vital Greens a go.
Vital Greens is a carefully balanced blend of nutrient dense greens, vegetables, fruits, plus additional herbs, vitamins and minerals, powerful antioxidants, prebiotics and probiotics, essential fatty acids, fibre, PLUS a uniquely alkalising pea protein. Phew, it’s a lot of good stuff packed into a powder.
Vital Greens is also naturally sweetened. It uses an organic sweetener called thaumatin, a sweetener extracted from a type of fruit called Katemfe.
It’s designed to provide the optimum nutrient levels to help support detoxification, digestion, intestinal health, immunity and provide optimal nutrient levels to assist vitality and energy.
While I always suggest getting your diet right first, Vital Greens does make a good multi nutrient supplement to give your nutrient levels a boost, as well as other benefits other supplements don’t contain, such as probiotics and added fibre. It’s great in smoothies and I’ll share one of my favourite Vital Green smoothie recipes tomorrow.
Thanks to Vital Greens, we’ve got one 300g tub of Vital Greens to give away, worth $94.90

Hi there,
Two things which are vital as part of my daiy routine is a high protein breakfast, eggs omlette with spinach etc and an hour at the gym doing cardio and weights every day, if I miss either of those things I am tired and have no energy!
The most vital part of my daily routine has to be getting my ass to the gym no matter what mood i’m in. Whether I do swimming/running or a class doesn’t matter as long as I do some form of exercise. It is vital for energy levels, enthusiasm and makes me feel amazing!
Drinking at least 7 cups of water during my day. Exercising daily and making sure I get the right nutrients my body needs.
A morning run and an evening stroll are must dos!
I have fallen off the clean eating wagon but trying to get back into it, have started running again and doing a 10km at end of month! My rituals for my wellbeing is to remember to take deep breathes often and to smile, remember life is not too shabby!
Having a good, fulfilling breakfast is vital to getting me through the day! And definitely cant go without my yummy herbal teas.
so many things! but eating a decent amount of protein and day is really important for me! Keeps me full and helps me not over eat 🙂
Keeping a regular sleeping pattern and getting up at the same time each day is important to me.
Drinking lots of water & sleeeeeeep!
I can’t go without my “breakfast”, lemon & honey drink. To start up my metabolism. I add to it 6+ glasses of water during the day, and loads of fruit.
My homemade muesli is VITAL to my general well-being throughout the day. Untoasted and super simple contains organic quick rolled oats, lots of nuts, seeds, cinnamon, coconut flakes, chia seeds and black sesame seeds. Soak the night before in unsweetened almond milk. YUM! This doubles as a fantastic desert with greek yoghurt & berries.
Definitely yoga – just a time for me and to relax after a busy day
Cross training!
Loads of water, good sleep and a bit of meditation!
The most vital part of my daily routine is loving my 11 month old daughter and supportive partner. After prying myself from the warm security of our bed to get to the gym – I get home to the warmth of her smile waiting patiently in her cot.
They are my daily reminder as to why I have adopted my new habits of leading a healthy, happy lifestyle. To be my daughter’s hero and my partner’s best friend.
What’s a vital part of my daily routine? The love of my family..
