What are super greens?
Super Greens Powder blends nutrient-rich greens, algae and grasses into a convenient boost of daily nutrition. They claim to give you all the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs in one simple step (read more here).
Let's bust some myths...
Myth 1: All super green powders are the same
Although they all have that recognisable green hue, super green powders can vary massively in nutritional value, so it's best to look for one with the most bang for your buck.
When it comes to myth-busting wellness trends, all you have to do is look at the ingredients, because ingredients don't lie. With 41 active ingredients, each Protein Works shake is claimed to have 159 health benefits crammed in.

Myth 2: Super greens can replace wholefoods
Although supplements like super green powders are a great help in getting your nutrients tally up for the day, they should never fully replace wholefoods. There are high-levels of elements like fibre in wholefoods that a supplement can't replicate. Think of a supplement powder as a helping hand, rather than a stand-in.
Benefits to super green powders include:
- Covers all your nutritional bases
- Contains 20 superfoods
- Supports cognitive function
- Reduces fatigue
- Supports digestion
- Supports stress and mood balance
- Supports healthy skin, hair and nails
Myth 3: Super greens work right away
Far from a magic sustenance that will heal you straight away, with consistent use, you should start noticing the benefits within 7 to 14 days. For the best results, enjoy Super Greens Extreme once a day, ideally in the morning as part of your routine.
Myth 4: Super greens are the same as taking multivitamins
Super Greens Extreme goes beyond a standard multivitamin. While it provides essential vitamins and minerals, it also delivers probiotics, prebiotics, antioxidants and adaptogens – offering a more comprehensive boost to your overall well-being.

Myth 5: Super greens are expensive
Protein Works has perhaps the most affordable super green powders on the market. This is helped by their March Forward sale, currently giving you up to 70% off products site-wide.
Myth 6: Super greens taste bad
Super greens have a bit of a notoriety for tasting bland, which has been solved pretty effectively by Protein Work's new flavour range. With options like Apple & Lemon Twist, Mandarin Orange, Tropical Punch and Summer Berry Burst, you have a wide range to choose from.
With 90% five-star reviews, the best-seller Apple & Lemon Twist is a particular favourite, with reviewers saying: "Ordered the apple and lemon twist based on the reviews and it is delicious!! I make my shake with a couple of cubes of frozen mango then add ice and water, blitz and it’s the perfect combo! I crave this drink if I don’t have it. Will be buying more for sure!"

Super Greens Extreme is best enjoyed with water, but it’s versatile too. Try mixing it with plant-based milk, blending it into a smoothie, or stirring it into yogurt for a nutritious boost.
