Eating lots of healthy fruits and vegetables is so important that governments around the world are implementing programs to encourage their citizens to eat more of these foods. Plant foods support all major body systems and can provide energy, slow down the effects of aging and help prevent illness. But getting enough fresh fruits and vegetables year-round can be a challenge.

Nutritional experts recommend 5 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day! The average North American eats only 1 to 3 servings per day. The need for an easy, concentrated way to increase fruit and vegetable intake inspired the nutritionists and scientists at Sunkist Vitamins to develop Berry Greens, Cranberry Greens and Blueberry Greens supplements. One Sunkist Greens serving has the antioxidant value of approximately 3 fresh fruit/vegetable servings.

What’s in it for you?

Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, nutrient-rich phyto (plant) chemicals and fibre. Sunkist Greens (Berry Greens, Blueberry Greens and Cranberry Greens), are made from a premium blend of nutrient-dense plant foods. The concentrated powder is created using a carefully controlled dehydration process, that guarantees optimum levels of active ingredients from the source fruits and vegetables.

Nutritional “green” supplements often contain organic alfalfa, barley, wheat grass juice powder, organic ocean greens (Hawaiian spirulina pacifica and CGF chlorella). These are very concentrated nutrient sources. It is also possible to enjoy the benefits of berries, even out of season, with blueberry and cranberry concentrated powders. With food supplements like these, you can consume a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and enzymes, blended in a delicious shake, or simply mixed with water, or “pick” Berry Greens capsules for convenience.

Get the goodness of fruits and veggies even in the middle of winter, for good health year-round!
