Amazing Grass products can be mixed with hot drinks?

Although Amazing Grass always recommends the powders to be mixed with a cold beverage or liquid at room temperature, the short answer: YES! If you like Superfood drink powders warm, you can compare this with the heating of ordinary dried fruits and vegetables. There are a number of heat-sensitive nutrients such as beta carotene and enzymes that tend to reduce their nutritional value when heated above 47 degrees Celsius. Think of eating raw spinach or cooked spinach. When the raw contains more beta carotene and enzymes. Once you begin cooking the amounts of these heat-sensitive nutrients they begin to desolve. However, even when they are heated they still contain many beneficial nutrients.

In essence, it is better to consume Superfood heated han not at all. If heating is required from taste considerations, Amazing Grass recommends your drink to be heated and then mixing it with your Superfood drink powder. There are also several recipes where heat is required and this provides creative and alternative ways to enjoy your Superfood, look for recipe ideas on the recipe page.
