Super Green Foods

Hello:

I am on day 2 of my whole30. But prior to starting this program I was using Vitaforce as a way to get all of my vitamins and minerals. Can I continue to use this on the whole30 program?

Thank you,

Melissa

The ingredients all look compliant (maybe a moderator or someone can double-check to make sure?), but how do you usually take the supplement? Smoothies are generally discouraged during Whole30 with the idea that you should eat rather than drink your nutrients. I can see this supplement being helpful for someone that doesn't really eat plants, but since your veg intake will most definately increase on Whole30 I'd say you can probably forego the supplementation as long as you're getting in your green leafeys. If you really feel it's necessary, I'd just take it straight with water.

I know there's a supplement post on the Whole9 blog, if you want to check it out: http://whole9life.com/2012/02/supplement-evaluation-checklist/

Good luck on your Whole30!

I used to put it in my juice but I tried it in some kombocha (sp?) but it did take away my sugar craving which was why I would like to continue taking it.

You could put it in a smoothie - to help cover up the taste- but you could also mix it in water.

Thank you!!

You can take it, but Vitaforce is probably a waste of money when you are doing a Whole30 properly.
