Plant athlete picks: greens
BlackLabel Supplements this week launched ‘Performance Greens,’ a superfood blend positioned to support athletic energy and strength — a sign plant‑based sports nutrition is still scaling product offerings (prunderground.com). Nutritionists in the same cycle still recommend whole‑food options like iron‑rich lentil soup for plant‑forward athletes seeking bioavailable iron and fibre (healthygirlkitchen.com) (moneycontrol.com).
BlackLabel’s PR for Performance Greens went live March 17, 2026 and lists Boca Raton, FL as the release location. (prunderground.com) The brand’s storefront prices Performance Greens at $49.99 per tub and offers Subscribe & Save options (20% off monthly, 10% off every 6 weeks), with instructions to mix one scoop into 12 oz of water. (blacklabelsupplements.com) BlackLabel states its manufacturing partners hold quality certifications accepted by major sports organizations (CrossFit, UFC, NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB) and that every ingredient batch is third‑party tested. (blacklabelsupplements.com) The company has previously promoted a rollout of NSF‑Certified-for‑Sport performance and recovery formulas on retail channels including Amazon, and Performance Greens also appears on third‑party marketplaces and shopfronts like TikTok Shop. (wavy.com) A nutrition database listing for Performance Greens shows one scoop weighing about 11.35 g and registering 0 calories per scoop. On the food‑first side, HealthyGirlKitchen published an “Iron Rich Lentil Soup” recipe on March 17, 2026 that calls for 1.5 cups dry green lentils and kale, and Moneycontrol ran a March 18, 2026 piece quoting nutrition coach Akshita Singla saying vitamin C and the food matrix in whole foods aid iron absorption and that supplements should complement—not replace—diets.
