New Year Resolution: Add Greens, Not Another Supplement

January is crowded with promises. New gym memberships, complex supplement stacks, and ambitious “new me” routines all compete for attention—and most of them quietly disappear by February. Instead of building another complicated plan you will struggle to maintain, there is a different approach: choose one small, powerful habit you can realistically do every day. For many people, that “one thing” can be a daily serving of dark green vegetables in the form of whole‑food wheatgrass.

Why most health resolutions fail

Most New Year health plans fail not because people lack willpower, but because the plans themselves are too heavy to carry. Stacking multiple new behaviors—strict diets, new workouts, handfuls of pills, elaborate morning routines—creates friction, decision fatigue, and the feeling that missing one piece means the whole effort is ruined.

At the same time, the average person is still not getting enough vegetables, especially dark green leafy ones. Research that led to the USDA MyPlate guidance showed that nine out of ten Americans do not reach recommended daily intakes of fruits and vegetables, and green vegetables are the most commonly missing piece. That gap shows up over time as low energy, digestive issues, and increased risk for diet‑related disease—exactly the problems many New Year resolutions aim to fix.

Extreme approaches, like all‑juice cleanses or aggressive restriction, often backfire. Juices remove fiber, which means they are not prebiotic foods and cannot properly support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Without fiber, juices also move too quickly through the digestive tract, can spike blood sugar more easily, and may interfere with the healthy mucosal lining of the gut over time. In other words, the quick fix can actually make the underlying problem worse.

One small daily action that actually fits your life

A sustainable resolution works with human behavior instead of against it. Habit research and decades of practical experience say the same thing: the simplest changes are the ones that stick. A single daily habit that feels doable, repeatable, and clearly beneficial will always beat an overly ambitious plan that collapses under its own weight.

That is exactly where a daily greens habit comes in. Pines Wheat Grass is a concentrated dark green vegetable—grown slowly outdoors in glacial Kansas soil and harvested once each year at peak nutrition—that can stand in for a full serving of leafy greens in just seven tablets or about a rounded teaspoon of powder. Because it is a whole food, not a juice, it provides natural vegetable fiber along with chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients. That makes it both convenient and prebiotic, supporting colon health and the growth of probiotic bacteria in ways that juices and many isolated supplements cannot.

For most people, adding that one habit is far easier than trying to overhaul every part of diet and lifestyle at once. It becomes a foundation—a green baseline you can count on even when other plans fall away.

How to habit‑stack your greens with what you already do

The easiest habits are the ones attached to something you already do automatically. Instead of asking yourself to remember “take greens” from scratch every day, you can tie Pines to an existing anchor routine you never skip.

Three simple examples:

• After brushing your teeth in the morning
Keep a small glass and your Pines powder or tablets by the same sink. When you put down your toothbrush, fill the glass, mix your greens, and drink before you leave the bathroom. Brushing is non‑negotiable; attaching greens to it makes them non‑negotiable too.
• While your coffee brews or kettle heats
If you already make coffee or tea every morning, there is a built‑in waiting window. Use those seconds to add a teaspoon of Pines Wheat Grass to water or a quick smoothie. By the time your coffee is ready, your greens are done.
• On your desk, in your bag, or in your car
Tablets make it easy to build a mid‑morning or early afternoon ritual. Keep a small tin or the original bottle in your work bag, car console, or desk drawer and decide, “When I sit down at my desk,” or “When I start the car for my commute,” that is when a serving of tablets happens.

Because Pines is shelf‑stable, glass‑bottled, and already portionable, you do not need blenders, juicers, or special kitchen space to make these habits real. The goal is not perfection; it is consistency. If one anchor routine fails on a hectic day, another one can catch you.

What the first 7 days should look like

Resolutions feel overwhelming when there is no clear starting script. A simple seven‑day plan makes it easier to get through the “awkward beginning” phase and see early wins.

• Day 1–2: Choose your anchor
Decide whether you will pair your greens with tooth‑brushing, coffee, breakfast, or your commute. Put the bottle where it must be moved or touched in that routine so you cannot miss it.
• Day 3–4: Protect the micro‑routine
Commit to doing nothing fancy yet. Just water and powder, or tablets with water. Notice any changes in how full, hydrated, or “regular” you feel as fiber begins to show up consistently.
• Day 5–6: Add small refinements
If you enjoy smoothies, start blending your greens into a simple mix of fruit, liquid, and maybe a spoonful of nuts or seeds. If you prefer tablets, play with timing—do they feel best before breakfast, with lunch, or mid‑afternoon?
• Day 7: Reflect, don’t judge
Look back on the week and simply ask: Did I get greens in more days than I did last month? Any “yes” is progress. From here, your only goal is to keep the daily streak going, not to chase perfection.

Because each serving of Pines is equivalent to a serving of dark green leafy vegetables, seven successful days means you have added roughly a week’s worth of salad‑level nutrition without changing anything else about your diet.

A year in the life of one simple greens habit

Imagine someone who decides this January that they are exhausted by starting and stopping complicated routines and chooses a different path. They buy one bottle of Pines Wheat Grass and set it next to their coffee maker. Every morning, while the coffee brews, they mix a small glass of water with a teaspoon of powder, drink it, and move on with their day.

The first week, they mostly just feel good about finally doing something simple and consistent. By the second or third week, they notice they are hitting the bathroom more regularly and that their energy feels a bit smoother instead of spiking and crashing around meals or caffeine. A month or two in, they stop thinking of it as a “resolution” and start thinking of it as just “what I do in the morning.”

Over the course of a year, that one habit quietly adds up:

• Dozens of extra servings of dark green vegetables, especially on busy days when salads do not happen.
• Ongoing prebiotic fiber to support probiotic bacteria and healthier digestion.
• A daily reminder that they are capable of taking care of themselves in small, meaningful ways, even when life is complicated.

They may change jobs, move homes, or switch up workout programs that year. Trends will come and go. But the greens habit remains and keeps paying off.

Your one resolution: choose greens you can keep

The supplement aisle in January is full of promises—stacks for focus, stacks for sleep, stacks for performance, stacks for detox. Many of them are expensive, complicated, or hard to sustain once the New Year energy fades. A bottle of whole‑food wheatgrass is something different: it is a concentrated vegetable that delivers real chlorophyll, fiber, and nutrients from plants grown as nature intended in organic glacial soil.

A rounded teaspoon of Pines Wheat Grass powder in water or a smoothie, or seven tablets with a glass of water, provides approximately the nutrition of a serving of spinach or kale, often at a lower cost per serving than store‑bought greens or multi‑ingredient blends. Because it is a single‑ingredient cereal grass, not a long list of fillers, you know exactly what is going into your body.

This New Year, you do not have to add another complicated supplement routine to your life. You can simply decide that once a day, every day, you will feed your “green gene” with a serving of real dark green vegetables—no juicer, no kitchen overhaul, no perfection required.
