Why variety matters more than any single food
A daily green doesn’t need to be a project. At its simplest, it’s a teaspoon, a glass, and thirty seconds of stirring — something you can fold into a morning you already have.
The trick to making any habit stick is to attach it to something you already do. If you make coffee, fill a glass of water first. If you blend a smoothie, keep your green next to the blender. The habit works because it’s small.
Keep it to three steps
Scoop a teaspoon. Mix it into cool water, juice, or a smoothie. Drink it before the rest of breakfast. That’s the whole thing — no measuring, no timing rules beyond what feels natural to you.
Cool liquids blend best; a small whisk or a jar with a lid does the job in seconds. If the flavour feels strong at first, start with half a teaspoon and build up.
“The habit works because it’s small. One teaspoon, one glass, every morning.”
Rotate to keep it interesting
If you have more than one green, move through them across the week. A different colour and character each morning keeps the habit from going stale — spirulina one day, wheatgrass the next, barley grass after that.
However you do it, keep it simple. A teaspoon a day is enough to build the habit.
