“When it comes to adding greens powder to your baked goods, you need to decide if you’re going to embrace the green flavor or try to mask it,” says registered dietitian Jess Cording, M.S., R.D., CDN. To show us what she means, Cording shares the best way to add greens powders into five of our favorite treats: “The greens powder blends well with fruity notes, like blueberries,” Cording says. Though the recipes call for chopped dates and raisins, consider swapping them for blueberries or cranberries to play up the powder’s taste. Another tasty cookie option? These delicious pumpkin spice cookies, created by Cording. This is another instance when adding cinnamon could help blend the flavor of the added greens powder. “You may also find you want to use a touch more sweetener than normal,” Cording says. If you’re wanting to enhance the greens, though, rather than two scoops of cacao powder, swap one scoop with organic veggies+ powder.
