Dairy-free dieters seem to take more interest in nutritional boosters than your average consumer. Which is why I wanted to provide a write-up on Navitas Naturals Superfood Powders.
I am seriously impressed with the innovative approach Navitas Naturals has taken in the supplement arena. They are creating freeze-dried organic superfood powders from various healthy foods, many of which are quite exotic by normal standards.
I’ve only sampled a couple of the Navitas Naturals Superfood Powders, one being the Coconut Water. When I showed it to a good friend, she laughed and questioned, “Dehyrdated water?”. I hadn’t thought about it that way, and had to agree that it was a bit of an oxymoron. Joking aside, I’m not a fan of coconut water at all (no, not even “that” brand). So I can’t really weigh in on the quality and taste of this product.
However, the Pomegranate Powder was right up my alley. This “Persian Superfood” is lightly sweet but very tangy – a reflection of its high vitamin C content. In terms of consistency, I thought it blended rather seamlessly into smoothies and puddings. Nonetheless, I only used 1 tablespoon per serving (the package states 2 tablespoons per serving), which was my lip-puckering limit.
The Pomegranate Powder is also a brilliant, but slightly pale pink color. This provides a visually appealing addition to recipes for both kids and adults. I love it in smoothies, like my Super Beet Smoothie Recipe (pictured at right). It goes extremely well with various berries, but here I paired it with banana and roasted beets for a naturally sweet and nutrient-packed drink.
I’m still experimenting with this powder in other recipes. The Pomegranate Bites I made were a bit too tart. I attempted 1 tablespoon per serving (about 5 bites), and they were pretty tasty, but the aftertaste was just too potent.
Nonetheless, the potential is really there. I think the Pomegranate Powder would be a delicious healthy addition to many no bake treats, including homemade or melted down chocolate.
As for the other Navitas Naturals Superfood Powders, feel free to share your own review or favorites in the comments. I will also update here as we try other varieties!
