Getting Started with MiracleMicrogreens
Welcome to the Farm Family! Here's everything you need to know to make MiracleMicrogreens part of your daily routine.
What's in the Jar
You're holding a blend of 20 different microgreen varieties - pea, sunflower, broccoli, kale, red cabbage, arugula, radish, fava bean, tatsoi, kohlrabi, amaranth, collard, cauliflower, rutabaga, brussels sprouts, turnip, romaine, chia, watercress, and more. Most of these varieties aren't available anywhere else, which is why it took us years to build the growing & processing systems to make this blend possible.
Microgreens are among the most nutrient-dense vegetables on the planet - tiny seedlings harvested at their peak, packed with vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes, and beneficial plant compounds. Each 1/8 teaspoon serving delivers a meaningful phytonutrient punch, in a form that disappears into almost anything you eat or drink.
Before You Scoop: A Few Quick Tips
Give it a shake first. We mill our microgreens to an ultra-fine powder - similar to ceremonial-grade matcha - so it mixes easily and stays invisible in food & drink. The tradeoff is that it can settle and compress in the jar. A quick shake before each use keeps it fluffy and ensures you get an accurate serving.
Use a level 1/8 teaspoon. Not heaping, not packed - just level. This gives you a full 30 servings per jar and keeps the flavor undetectable in most foods. It's a much smaller dose than you're probably used to with protein powders or other supplements, and that's intentional. More isn't better here - the serving size is designed for optimal absorption and invisibility.
Store it in a cabinet, not the refrigerator. The fridge creates condensation inside the jar, which is bad for the powder. A cool, dry cabinet is perfect. Once opened, we recommend using within 6 months for full nutrition.
The cap is child-safe. Push down and turn to open. We designed it this way so curious little hands can't get in unsupervised.
If You Have Trouble with Lumps. Most people find it mixes easily, but if you're getting lumps in cold liquids (because we use no additives), here's the fix: 1) Add the powder to a dry glass first, 2) Add just a splash of liquid, 3) Stir into a loose paste, 4) Then add the rest of your liquid and mix. If you're using a water bottle or shaker, make the paste in a small cup first, then pour it back into the bottle. Problem solved.
How to Use It
The goal is simple: get your daily serving into something you're already eating or drinking. Most people find a routine that works within the first week.
The Easiest Options
Coffee. This surprises people, but it's one of our most popular methods. The bold flavor of coffee masks the microgreens completely. Just stir it in—no blender needed.
Your usual daily foods. Our serving is so concentrated, you only need 1/8 teaspoon and it blends seamlessly into many of the foods you eat daily. We always recommend to start by adding your microgreens to the foods you already eat, as opposed to trying to do something special.
Greens powders & other wellness drinks. We have many customers that are addressing a wide range of wellness goals - and they regularly add their microgreens directly to the products they already use.
Smoothies. Add it to any smoothie with fruit, protein, greens, whatever you're already making. It disappears completely.
Protein shakes. Same idea. If you're already mixing a shake, add your scoop and you're done.
Hiding It in Food
Because the serving size is so small, MiracleMicrogreens disappears into most foods - especially those with stronger flavors or darker colors.
For picky eaters (kids or otherwise):
- PB&J sandwiches
- Ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, or any condiment
- Spaghetti with red sauce
- Applesauce
- Mac and cheese
- Under the cheese on pizza (a customer favorite—lift the cheese, sprinkle, replace)
- Yogurt or cottage cheese
- Salad dressings
- "Green eggs" (best introduced while reading Dr. Seuss)
For everyday meals:
- Soups and broths (add after cooking to preserve nutrients)
- Oatmeal or overnight oats
- Guacamole or hummus
- Scrambled eggs
- Rice or grain bowls
- Diced meat or vegtables
- Marinades or sauces
- Salsa
Pro tip for parents: Instead of hiding it, let your kids add the scoop themselves. You measure, they pour. Our boys love being part of the process—it gives them ownership and makes it feel special rather than sneaky.
What to Expect
Flavor: Most people describe it as mildly nutty and earthy when tasted on its own. At the recommended serving size, it's undetectable in most foods and drinks. One customer discovered it makes horchata taste like mazapán. Another loves what it does to her morning coffee. You'll find your own favorites.
Color: The powder is green, so it works best in foods that are already darker or strongly colored. In a berry smoothie? Invisible. In plain oatmeal? You might see a slight tint. Adjust your pairings based on who's eating.
Results: Everyone's different. Some customers notice changes in energy or digestion within days. Others see improvements in skin, hair, or how they feel overall after a few weeks. One thing we hear consistently: people just feel good knowing they're getting real, whole-food nutrition every day—without having to think about it.
For Subscribers
Your subscription is designed to be effortless. A fresh jar arrives every 30 days, timed to your usage.
If you ever need to pause, skip a shipment, or adjust your schedule, you can do it instantly from your account—no phone calls, no hoops. Or just email us and we'll handle it for you.
Running low before your next shipment? That usually means the serving size crept up over time (it happens). Give the jar a shake before scooping and make sure you're using a level 1/8 teaspoon. If you're still running short, let us know—we'll make it right.
Have extra jars building up? Skip your next shipment or extend your delivery interval. We'd rather you use what you have than feel overwhelmed.
