As we sit down to some very comforting plates this time of year, I’ve been thinking about how modern farming has quietly changed what’s on those plates. We’ve gotten incredibly good at producing calories—cheap, shelf-stable, and everywhere—but not nearly as good at delivering the nutrients our bodies actually run on. We’ve optimized for feeling full, not for feeling truly fueled. The good news is there is a way to quietly stack your plate (and your pantry) back in your favor: fresh microgreens, and an everyday freeze-dried NRG Nutri-Shot that captures those nutrients in a tiny, simple daily habit.

Modern Farming and Modern Food
Modern agriculture has been built to maximize yield, shelf life, and appearance—not nutrient density. Plants are bred and farmed to grow fast, look perfect, and ship well across long distances, which doesn’t automatically mean they’re packed with vitamins and minerals. At the same time, ultra-processed foods have taken over shelves, so most people easily hit their daily calorie needs while quietly missing some of the vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds their bodies depend on. You can feel “full” and still be under-fueled at the cellular level. Over time, that gap often shows up as inconsistent energy, mood dips, and slower recovery from stress or workouts—even if your diet looks “pretty good” on paper. The tricky part is that none of this happens overnight, so it’s easy to normalize how you feel and never connect it back to the quality of what’s on your plate.

Product spotlight: NRG Nutri-Shot
NRG Nutri-Shots start as the same living microgreens I grow each week, then get freeze-dried at peak freshness and packed into a tiny daily snack. Freeze-drying removes water but preserves the plant structure and the good stuff inside, so you’re still getting real food—not a synthetic powder. You can sprinkle it on meals, stir it into something you’re already eating, or snack on it straight. One small serving takes seconds but delivers a concentrated hit of real-food nutrients that tastes good and is easy to repeat every single day, even when your schedule or meals are chaotic.
Microgreens flip the modern food equation by concentrating much of a plant’s natural nutrition into a small, intensely flavorful bite. Because they’re harvested young, many varieties can contain higher levels of certain vitamins and beneficial compounds per gram than their full-grown versions. Adding a handful to meals you’re already eating—eggs, bowls, sandwiches, snack plates, leftovers—gives your plate a quiet upgrade without forcing you into a full “diet overhaul.” Freeze-drying those same microgreens into an NRG Nutri-Shot takes it one step further, locking in their nutrients while removing water so they’re lightweight and shelf-stable. That means a tiny daily packet or “shot” can act as a nutritional safety net on the days when vegetables are more of a dream than a reality. When used consistently, fresh microgreens plus an NRG Nutri-Shot help you rebuild a daily foundation of real-food nutrients instead of chasing quick fixes or sugar spikes. It’s a small, repeatable habit that respects your actual life, while giving your body more of what it’s been missing in the modern calorie game.

Planning ahead for December
Because everything is grown for you, timing matters. Orders placed before Friday at midnight get planted that weekend and delivered about 10 days later. If you want microgreens or NRG on hand for early holiday gatherings—or just to support your body through cookie season—this is the time to think a step ahead.
