When it comes to eating your veggies, most of us think of leafy salads, steamed broccoli, or maybe a side of roasted carrots.
But in today’s world, where stress runs high and time runs short, it’s not always easy to get enough of the vibrant plant nutrients our bodies need. That’s where superfoods, concentrated sources of nutrients like wild blueberries, barley grass juice, and spirulina - can help bridge the gap.
This National Eat Your Veggies Day, we’re taking a closer look at these potent plant allies and how they help fill in the nutritional blanks that busy schedules and modern diets can leave behind.
Wild Blueberries - The Brain’s Best Friend*
If you’re looking for a superfood that supports the brain, wild blueberries stand out. These tiny, potent fruits are packed with anthocyanins—powerful plant compounds that help protect the brain from free radical damage. In fact, VIMERGY Organic Wild Blueberry Powder is made from lowbush wild blueberries, which contain higher levels of these antioxidants compared to the highbush varieties often found in grocery stores.
Each serving gives you the equivalent of 80 wild blueberries.
Barley Grass Juice Powder - Greens, Upgraded
Eating a plate of greens every day is a wonderful goal, but let’s be honest—sometimes it doesn’t happen. That’s where barley grass juice powder comes in. A single scoop of VIMERGY Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder delivers a concentrated burst of nutrients, including bioavailable polyphenols that support cardiovascular health and antioxidant protection. Gram for gram, it packs 10 times the iron of spinach, three times the calcium of milk, and 2.5 times the protein of eggs, making it an excellent plant-based source of essential minerals.*
Barley grass juice doesn’t have the fiber that can slow down nutrient absorption, so you get quick access to its plant-powered benefits. It’s like giving your body a green boost that nourishes without the hassle of juicing or prepping.
Spirulina - Protein and Power, All in One
For those looking for a nutrient-dense green that goes beyond vitamins and minerals, spirulina is a true powerhouse. VIMERGY Spirulina Powder is over 50% plant protein by weight - five times the protein of eggs, gram for gram - and it’s bursting with phytonutrients like chlorophyll that support antioxidant activity and cellular health.*
It’s easy to stir into water, juice, or smoothies, and because it doesn’t have a tough cell wall, your body absorbs its nutrients quickly.
The Bigger Picture - Superfoods for Modern Life
Eating your veggies isn’t just about what’s on your plate.
It’s about giving your body the resilience it needs to handle modern life. From long days at work to managing stress and supporting brain health, these superfoods help fill in the nutritional gaps that even the healthiest diets can miss. They’re an easy, effective way to nourish yourself from the inside out, especially during seasons of high demand.
This National Eat Your Veggies Day, let’s redefine what it means to eat well. It’s not just about getting your greens. It’s about giving your body a spectrum of plant power that helps you thrive, no matter what’s on your plate.
