Let’s be real, getting your greens in can feel like a chore, especially when they taste like you just licked the bottom of a lawn mower. Greens powders are packed with benefits, from supporting digestion to helping you feel more energized, but the flavour? That’s a whole different story.
The good news is, you don’t have to pinch your nose and chug anymore. With the right tricks and the right greens powder, you can actually look forward to your daily scoop.
Enter Cira Greens. This super greens blend was made to be easy on the taste buds. It has a light, fruity flavour that stands out from the overly earthy powders you may have tried before. Still, even the best greens can get an upgrade with a little creativity. That’s what this blog is all about.
Whether you’re new to greens or just want to enjoy them more, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to make greens taste better without holding your nose.
If you're struggling to enjoy your greens, the problem might not be you—it might be your powder. Some greens blends are packed with nutrients but taste like straight-up dirt. Choosing a powder that’s designed to be drinkable makes everything easier from the start.
Cira Greens is a great example. It’s formulated with natural fruit flavours that make it surprisingly light and refreshing, not gritty or grassy. You’ll still get all the good stuff like spirulina, chlorella, and digestive enzymes, but without the overpowering "green" taste.
If you’ve tried other powders and couldn’t get past the flavour, starting with a better-tasting base can make all the difference.
Water is the obvious go-to for mixing greens powder, but let’s be honest—it’s not always the most flavourful option. If your greens taste a little too “earthy” in plain water, try switching up your base.
Coconut water adds a subtle sweetness and natural electrolytes. Almond milk or oat milk create a creamier texture and help mellow out any bitterness. Even a splash of 100% fruit juice can make a big difference, especially citrus or apple juice.
If you're using Cira Greens, you're already off to a good start with flavour. But pairing it with a tasty liquid can take it to the next level. Bonus tip: add ice or chill your drink beforehand. Cold greens go down way easier.
If you want to turn your greens into something you actually crave, smoothies are the way to go. Blending your greens powder with fruits and other flavour-packed ingredients is one of the easiest ways to mask any earthy notes and boost the taste.
Try combining Cira Greens with a banana, frozen berries, a handful of spinach, and some almond milk for a fruity, nutrient-packed drink. Pineapple and mango also work great for cutting through the "green" flavour while adding natural sweetness.
You can even toss in Greek yogurt, nut butter, or a scoop of protein powder to turn it into a full-on meal or post-workout snack. It’s delicious, filling, and sneakily healthy.

Citrus is a simple but powerful flavour booster. A squeeze of lemon, lime, or even orange juice can brighten up your greens drink and help balance out any bitterness.
The natural acidity cuts through earthy flavours and gives your greens a refreshing twist. This trick works especially well if you're mixing your powder with water or coconut water and want to liven it up without adding sweetness.
Even though Cira Greens already has a smooth, fruit-forward flavour, a little citrus can make it feel extra fresh—especially in the morning or after a workout.
Sometimes your greens just need a little extra sweetness. Instead of reaching for refined sugar, try natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave. Even a couple of pitted dates blended into a smoothie can do the trick.
If you're watching your sugar intake, a small pinch of stevia or monk fruit sweetener works well without overpowering the flavour. These options can take your greens from “meh” to “yum” in seconds.
The good news is that Cira Greens already has a light, naturally sweet flavour, so you may not need to add much—if anything. But for those days when your taste buds need a little encouragement, a touch of sweetness can go a long way.
Spices aren’t just for cooking—they can totally transform your greens too. A dash of cinnamon, a bit of grated ginger, or a sprinkle of turmeric can add warmth and depth to your drink. These flavours are especially great in smoothies with banana or nut butter.
Fresh mint is another underrated add-in. It brings a cool, refreshing vibe that pairs really well with fruit-forward greens powders like Cira Greens. Plus, it makes your drink smell as good as it tastes.
These simple extras can help you get more variety out of your greens routine and keep things interesting day to day.
Getting your greens in doesn’t have to mean forcing down something that tastes like grass. With the right mix-ins, recipes, and a little creativity, you can actually enjoy the benefits without the struggle.
Start with a good-tasting base like Cira Greens, and the rest becomes so much easier. Whether you blend it into a smoothie, stir it into your oats, or sip it ice-cold with a splash of citrus, you’ve got plenty of ways to make it work for you.
Because wellness should taste good, too.
