How to Sell the Idea of a Greens Drink to Clients Who Think It’ll Taste Awful

Let’s be honest: most people hear “greens drink” and immediately picture swamp water. The colour. The smell. The horror stories of powders that taste like lawn clippings.

As a PT, you know the benefits. But how do you convince sceptical clients to even give it a try? Here’s the playbook.

Step 1: Acknowledge the Scepticism

Don’t pretend greens powders have a spotless reputation. Say what they’re already thinking:

“I know most greens drinks taste like grass. That’s why I only recommend one that actually passes the taste test.”

Acknowledging the pain point builds trust.

Step 2: Reframe It as a Neutral Habit, Not a Flavour Bomb

Clients expect “green” to mean “strong, bitter flavour.” Instead, frame it as a neutral daily habit:

“It’s not meant to taste like a milkshake. The win is that you can mix it with cold water in 10 seconds, drink it, and move on with your day — without gagging.”

Lean Greens is deliberately neutral tasting (slight earthy notes, no grassy aftertaste).

Step 3: Share the “7-Day Payoff”

Taste is one thing. Results are another. When clients start Collagen Greens, they often notice:

• Less bloating within a few days
• Smoother digestion
• More consistent energy
• Subtle improvements in skin and joints

Once clients connect “this doesn’t taste bad” with “I feel better in a week,” the scepticism fades.

Step 4: Use Social Proof

Lean Greens has thousands of reviews from real customers. Many mention how surprised they were by the taste:

• “Actually drinkable.”
• “Neutral, not swampy.”
• “So much easier than the grassy brands I tried before.”

Sharing these quotes shows it’s not just you saying it.

Step 5: Remove All the Risk

Here’s the ace up your sleeve: Lean Greens offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. Even if the only thing they don’t like is the taste, they can get a full refund.

“Try it for a week. If you hate the taste or don’t notice a difference, just send it back within 60 days and get your money back.”

That makes it a zero-risk test  and most clients stick with it once they see how easy it is.

The Takeaway

Selling a greens drink to sceptical clients isn’t about overselling flavour. It’s about:

• Acknowledging the bad reputation
• Highlighting the neutral taste
• Linking it to quick wins they’ll actually feel
• Showing real customer proof
• And reminding them it’s risk-free with a 60-day guarantee

That way, clients stop picturing swamp juice and start seeing a simple, effective daily habit.
