All The Greens Without The Cereal Grasses
Ever since going Paleo, something I’ve wanted but had trouble finding was a green powder. While some of them out there are pretty clean in terms of their ingredients, it is really hard to find something that does not contain cereal grasses, which you are probably also trying to avoid if you’re grain-free and Paleo like us. Then, we found Paleovalley’s Organic Supergreens! They are a delicious, nutritious and energizing blend of 19 certified organic, raw, antioxidant-rich, health-promoting superfoods that blend easily, and it is super refreshing. All with zero cereal grasses!

Below are 3 ways to utilize and enjoy these Organic Supergreens!
1. Just Like The Package Says
Sometimes this is a good idea and other times green powders don’t end up tasting too good in just water. This is a green powder you can REALLY just mix into water and enjoy! Seriously. It almost has a fruity, minty, green tea flavor, which makes this the first and easiest way to sneak more greens into your day. Our recommendation is to mix it into hot water and drink it like a tea. We like to blend it up in our Vitamix so it gets a little frothy and latte like. I’ve read that drinking warm water helps aid digestion so your body can absorb and utilize the nutrients. I also just tend to crave warm beverages. Give it a try, and let us know what you think! This might just become your new favorite morning routine!
2. Supergreen Energy Balls
Because who doesn’t love a bite (or two-bite) sized mound of goodness?! These Supergreen Energy Balls are our second way to sneak more greens into your day. We always love quick and easy bites we can take on-the-go or grab-and-go for a little afternoon pick me up. These guys are the best! They’re made with healthy nuts, almond butter, coconut and Organic Supergreens and sweetened with dates. Plus, they are no-bake which is always a good idea!
Supergreen Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, (we used roasted and salted)
- 8-10 dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp Paleovalley Organic Supgreens
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until ingredients are combined and grainy. Stop the processor and scrape the sides down.
- Start the food processor again and run continuously until the mixture starts to form into a ball. You may need to stop and scrape the sides down again a couple times.
- Once the mixture balls up, stop the food processor and carefully remove the blade. Roll tablespoon sized amounts into balls and place in a glass dish. If the mixture is still a little grainy, you may have to pat the balls into shape versus rolling, but they will firm up in the fridge. Once all of the mixture is rolled into balls, cover and store in the fridge to have on hand for snacks.
3. No-Bake Supergreen Tarts
Our third way to utilize Paleovalley’s Organic Supergreens and sneak more greens in is with these easy, no-bake tarts. They’re like a little mini cheesecake, but with nutrient dense Supergreens and healthy fats from avocado. They’re sweetened with maple syrup, so there are no refined sugars and they’re super easy to make! Plus, they look pretty cool too! You can top them with whatever sounds good to you. We like shredded coconut and cacao nibs, but you could do some chopped nuts, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, etc. There are endless options.
Supergreen Tarts
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 8-10 dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
For the filling:
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tbsp Paleovalley Organic Supergreens

For the toppings:
- shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions
- Place all of the crust ingredients in a food processor and process continuously until the mixture is grainy and sticks together.
- Line a regular sized muffin tin with parchment or silicone liners and dump large spoonfuls of the crust into the bottom of each liner. Press the crust into the bottoms of the liners. Set aside. (You can also use a mini muffin pan or a combo of the two)
- Wipe out the food processor with a paper towel. Then, place all of the filling ingredients inside. Pulse until all of the ingredients are smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape the sides down a couple times.
- Spoon out the filling into each liner and spread it out with the back of the spoon.
- Add desired toppings, and place in the freezer to set for at least an hour. Once set, remove from liners and store in a freezer-safe airtight container in the freezer.
