Q: What does this product do?
A: Green Energy is a caffeine-free pre-workout with alkalinizing greens, which helps provide energy and focus. Green energy skips the central nervous system stimulants so you won’t feel “revved up” or jittery.
Q: How does it give me energy without any caffeine?
A: Green Energy contains plant extracts and vegan-sourced amino acids that support stamina and endurance, at the cellular level. Your muscles won’t feel as fatigued during your workout, and you’ll have more energy left at the end of your practice, class or workout.
Skipping the caffeine means you won’t feel like your heart is racing and you’ll avoid the “crash” that comes with stimulants as they leave your system.
Q: Can I take it if I am not going to workout?
A: Yes, it isn’t like a traditional caffeine-based pre-workout that you really need to “work off” once you consume it. Instead of turning to coffee you can use Green Energy first thing in the morning as an antioxidant and greens rich tonic, or use it mid-afternoon as a pick-me up.
Q: What is the sweetener?
A: A combination of two natural, plant-based zero calorie sweeteners: Monk fruit with a tiny bit of Stevia. Monk fruit tends to soften the stevia flavour, most people tell us they can’t taste the stevia.
Q: How many calories are in each serving?
A: Zero calories and zero sugar.
Q: Can I use Green Energy while I am intermittent fasting?
A: Yes – because there is no sugar or calories you can use this without breaking your fast.
Q: Last time I bought Green Energy the powder was quite pink, this time it is more greenish. What changed?
A: All Niyama products are free from artificial colours, flavours, and sweeteners. We let the natural plant extracts be the colour they are! The two main contributors to the colour of this product are the wheat grass and beetroot extract. The appearance may vary from batch to batch, ranging from pink to light khaki green, with some pink flecks. Rest assured the formula remains the same.
Q: I have purchased this product in the past but it tastes a bit different this time. Is it ok?
A: Yes. At Niyama we only use natural flavours and sweeteners, so growing conditions and crops play a big role in how the flavours and colours come across from one batch to the next. With artificial flavours and sweeteners, you can get the exact same flavour profile every time, but with natural ingredients variations are to be expected. Our team carefully blends our premium, natural ingredients in each batch to match our approved taste profile. It’s a bit of an art.
Q: Is this product gluten free?
A: We use wheat grass and barley grass that are purified to be free of gluten
