Fevertree presents Greenfood Powermix

Many years ago our plant food source was grown in mineral and microbe rich soils. Unfortunately with modern farming practices, we have destroyed these soils and in the process have created a nutrient depleted food source. Greenfood Powermix is a comprehensive food supplement that completes the nutrient gap left by our modern food source; combining so-called �whole foods�, to make a mixture that promotes a feeling of well-being and stimulates the metabolism. Take one heaped teaspoon of Power Green powder in a cup of fruit juice for an energy boosting start to the day. Power Green powder is packaged in a 200gm container (2 months supply).
