North Coast Naturals Daily Greens in Iced Tea is a greens powder that mixes into a light, tea-flavoured drink. One 9.5 g scoop holds more than 52 whole foods, about 2,000 mg of marine greens and DE111 probiotics, and the 285 g tub makes 30 servings. Each scoop has 25 calories and 1 g of sugars.
What is in a scoop
The label groups the formula into five blends. Greens and Veggies (3,210 mg) leads with moringa leaf, parsley, milled flax and an organic cruciferous blend of broccoli, cabbage, kale, carrot and spinach, plus alfalfa, artichoke, chia, milk thistle, quinoa, matcha and red beet. Sea Greens and Phytoplankton (2,005 mg) brings spirulina at 1,350 mg, Hydramins red marine algae, broken-cell-wall chlorella and blue-green micro-algae.
The fruit blend (1,810 mg) uses an organic multi-fruit mix with maqui, pomegranate, blueberry and goji, along with lemon, acerola, grape seed, Saskatoon berry and tart cherry. Inulin and Bacillus subtilis DE111 make up the 920 mg pre and probiotic blend, and maca root, phytase enzyme and magnesium oxide make up the 322 mg blend that closes the list.
Per scoop the Nutrition Facts table lists 300 mg of calcium (23% of the Daily Value), 400 mg of potassium and 1.75 mg of iron.
The Iced Tea flavour
Iced Tea uses natural tea flavours with citric and malic acid for a lemony edge, sweetened with debittered stevia leaf extract. It is the lightest of the three flavours and works best in cold water or over ice.
Flavours and sizes
Daily Greens comes in Iced Tea, Dark Chocolate and Berry Medley in 285 g tubs, and Berry Medley also comes in a 570 g tub. Dark Chocolate suits milk and smoothies; Berry Medley suits juice. The formula underneath is the same across flavours; only the flavouring changes.
North Coast Naturals has moved Daily Greens into a new tub design, and stock in the earlier look may still ship.
How to use it
Mix one 9.5 g scoop with 250 ml of cold water or juice, or blend it into a smoothie or protein shake. Shake well, since greens powders settle. The full directions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
It suits people who find it hard to eat greens every day and want a quick drink instead, and plant-based eaters who like seaweed and algae in their routine.
