This makes superfood powders, which are easy to consume and easier to digest than pills, a perfect way to complement your diet.

Superfood powders as the name shows are a powdered food blend consisting of organic vegetables and fruits that, overall, provides a compact, high antioxidant-rich food product that aims to improve and maintain good health.

Drinking a superfood powder is also an excellent way to get essential body nutrients in a single potent dose.

How are Just Blends Superfood Powders Different from Conventional Superfood Powders?

Most conventional superfood powders are not gluten-free and often contain additives and preservatives. Many of the powders are reinforced with synthetic ingredients, besides being spray dried, which requires a heating process that eventually decreases the nutritional value.

Just Blends Superfood Powders, on the other hand, carry certified natural ingredients – organic products that are more nutritious than conventional and have no contaminants like toxins, chemicals, or pesticides.

Organic Superfood powders are prepared from cold-pressed and freeze-dried whole-food ingredients, just as you get in a juice bar, that essentially maintains the purity of the ingredients so that a pure and totally non-denatured product is made.

As compared to conventional superfoods, Just Blends Superfood powders are nutritionally superior.  Our products contain ONLY the individual ingredient or (with our blends) are made from several natural or organic vegetables and lush berry fruits that are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory components that help fight against diseases.

These Superfood Powders also work as a powerful prebiotic for healthy digestion and absorption of nutrients. Therefore, they are great for all of you out there who value health, fitness, and good food. Our Superfood Powders encourage good skin, energy, and better gut health.

Which Ingredients Should Never Be Part of Your Superfood Powder?

Artificial Sweeteners
Sucralose, saccharin (954), and xylitol are common artificial sweeteners used in various food items. Ingestion of these ingredients can have many adverse side effects, including headaches, migraines, gastric discomfort, such as bloating and acid reflux.

Artificial Flavours
Food sensitivities to artificial flavours can result in several health issues ranging from skin problems to depression, mood swings, and headaches among many others. 

Dextrins and Fillers
Dextrins and Fillers boost the glycaemic load, which can lead to digestive disorders. Many are processed with GMO corn and can also cause gastrointestinal problems in certain people. They are often mixed with superfood powders and proteins to give them weight and save upon the manufacturing cost. 

Gluten
Food sensitivities to gluten can trigger inflammation in some people and cause a host of health problems, including hormonal imbalances, skin problems, fatigue, sleep problems, and headaches.
