I bought some fruit and veggie powders from Swanson and they have all the best of everything in them, but I would assume they can't be as good as the real thing due to processing which takes away from the freshness of juicing or eating a vegetable or fruit.

But it does get like 40 fruits and veggies in one powdered drink so that has to be a plus.

What is you guy's take on fruit and veggie powders?

I take fruit and veggie powders (usually rotating the best selling brands on iHerb) and miX them up in a smoothie of water, + juicing different fibrous veggies... Drinking one of these Babies on empty stomach --and you won't go back to just powder + water. ;-).
(I actually started this, once it got to the Point I was coughing up and breathing out stale supplement powder from my unanimous consumption.. :-/............... No seriously, - I think the body works so much better if you include real food every once in a while. And juicing up vegetables and fruits are IMO convenient, and highly nutritious, while(/because of) getting the Calories, fiber, potassium, etc. etc.)

cool, cool, my take was there has to be some good with the powders and the idea to mix up in a smoothie sounds like a great one.

I take the Swanson's Green Max Powder. Great product and the price can't be beat.
I just had a yummy green smoothie with chocolate almond milk, whey protein, cinnamon, 1 TBSP green powder, 2 handfulls of baby spinach, cup of blueberries.
