Mighty Muscle Microgreens
$20 / 8oz delivery
Six protein-focused varieties in one blend. Built for people who eat with the same intention they train.
What's Inside 🌱
Six varieties chosen for plant-protein content, amino-acid profile, and the minerals associated with performance nutrition. Real food, real numbers, no powder.
Sunnies (Sunflower)
All essential amino acids your muscles need to be and feel replenished. Vitamin E, magnesium, zinc
Arugula
Calcium, vitamin K, natural nitrates
Broccoli
Glucoraphanin and sulforaphane precursors at concentrated levels
Garnet Red Amaranth
Iron, calcium, and a complete amino-acid profile
Fenugreek
Traditionally used in performance nutrition, contains saponins and iron
Buckwheat
Complete protein, all essential amino acids
What Each Variety Brings To The Plate 🌱
Six varieties, six different nutritional roles. Here is what each one contributes, based on the published nutrition profile of the variety.
Sunnies (Sunflower)
The lead variety for the muscle theme. Sunflower microgreens carry all essential amino acids your muscles need to be and feel replenished, a true complete protein at the plant level. Nutty, substantial flavor and crunchy body that gives the blend structural weight on a plate.
Nutrition highlights:
- All essential amino acids (complete protein)
- Vitamin E, antioxidant for skin and cardiovascular tissue
- Magnesium, supports nervous-system function
- B-complex vitamins (B1, B5, B6) for energy metabolism
- Healthy fats and zinc
Arugula
The peppery variety that contributes natural nitrates (the same family of compounds athletes look for in beet juice) and a pronounced mineral profile. Stronger flavor than the other five, balanced by the nutty sunnies and the mild buckwheat.
Nutrition highlights:
- Naturally occurring nitrates
- Calcium and vitamin K
- Vitamin A and folate
- Glucosinolates (Brassica family)
- Iron in trace amounts
Broccoli
The single most-studied microgreen in published nutrition science. Broccoli microgreens carry glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane, at levels much higher than mature broccoli, in a milder flavor that blends into any meal.
Nutrition highlights:
- Glucoraphanin (sulforaphane precursor) at concentrated levels
- Vitamin C, antioxidant and immune support
- Vitamin K and folate
- Indole compounds studied in cellular research
- Plant fiber that feeds gut bacteria
Garnet Red Amaranth
One of the few plants containing all essential amino acids, making it a true complete-protein source. The deep red color comes from betalain pigments, the same antioxidant family found in beets.
Nutrition highlights:
- All essential amino acids (complete protein)
- Iron, supports oxygen transport
- Calcium and magnesium
- Betalains (red-pigment antioxidants)
- Lysine, rare among plant proteins
Fenugreek
A traditional ingredient in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines with a long history in performance and recovery nutrition. The microgreen has a mildly bitter flavor that pairs well with eggs, beans, and grain bowls.
Nutrition highlights:
- Saponins, plant compounds studied in nutrition research
- Iron, supports oxygen transport
- Magnesium and manganese
- Vitamin K and folate
- Soluble fiber (galactomannan)
Buckwheat
The second complete-protein contributor in the blend. Buckwheat microgreens contain all essential amino acids and are notably rich in lysine, the amino acid most commonly limited in plant proteins. Mild, slightly sweet flavor.
Nutrition highlights:
- All essential amino acids (complete protein)
- Lysine, rare among plant proteins
- Magnesium, supports muscle function
- Rutin, a flavonoid antioxidant
- Naturally gluten-free

Who Is This For? 🏋️
Gym Goers
Add to your post-workout shake or meal. Complete plant proteins from buckwheat and amaranth, plant amino acids alongside whatever protein source you already use.
Athletes
Natural nitrates from arugula, iron from amaranth and fenugreek, complete amino acids from buckwheat. Real-food building blocks layered into the meals you already eat.
Health-Conscious
Maximum nutrient density per ounce without supplements or powders. Six pesticide-free varieties in one clamshell, harvested within 24 hours of delivery.
Real Food for Real Athletes 🌿
Most protein supplements are processed, flavored, and full of ingredients you have to scan twice to recognize. Mighty Muscle is the other direction. Six pesticide-free microgreen varieties combined for one purpose, layering real-food building blocks alongside whatever you already eat.
Sunnies (sunflower) carry all essential amino acids your muscles need to be and feel replenished. Buckwheat and garnet amaranth also bring complete amino-acid profiles, so the blend stacks three separate complete-protein sources in one clamshell. Arugula carries naturally occurring nitrates. Fenugreek brings the traditional performance-nutrition ingredient that pairs naturally with eggs and beans. Broccoli microgreens add the most-studied compound in the field, glucoraphanin.
Toss it on eggs. Mix it into a smoothie. Layer it on a grain bowl. Eight ounces of purpose-built nutrient density, harvested within 24 hours of delivery.
"What if your post-workout nutrition came from real, organic food alongside your protein shake instead of replacing it with one? Would that change how the rest of the day feels?" 🤔

Frequently Asked Questions 💪
What is in the Mighty Muscle blend?
Six fixed varieties: Sunnies (Sunflower, all essential amino acids your muscles need to be and feel replenished), Arugula (natural nitrates), Broccoli (glucoraphanin), Garnet Red Amaranth (iron and complete amino acids), Fenugreek (traditional performance ingredient), and Buckwheat (complete protein, all essential amino acids).
Why is this blend called Mighty Muscle?
The six varieties were chosen for plant-protein content and amino-acid profile. Three of them contribute complete proteins with all essential amino acids: sunnies (sunflower), buckwheat, and amaranth. Sunnies carry the amino-acid profile muscles need to be and feel replenished. Arugula and fenugreek bring minerals associated with performance nutrition. Designed for protein-conscious meals.
Does Mighty Muscle replace a protein shake?
No. A handful of microgreens contributes plant amino acids alongside vitamins and minerals, but the protein density per gram is lower than a protein powder scoop. Use Mighty Muscle as a real-food addition to a protein-conscious meal or shake, not a replacement.
Are the Mighty Muscle microgreens pesticide-free?
Yes. All microGREEN FX microgreens are grown pesticide-free with USDA Organic seeds in SE Pennsylvania.
How do I use the Mighty Muscle blend?
On scrambled eggs, in a post-workout smoothie, layered on a grain-and-bean power bowl, finishing a steak salad, or straight from the clamshell. Three full recipes are on this page.
How long does Mighty Muscle last in the fridge?
2 to 3 weeks refrigerated. Each of the six varieties is in that standard window, so the blend holds together cleanly without one variety wilting before the others.
Why include fenugreek in a microgreen blend?
Fenugreek microgreens are traditionally used in cuisines from India and the Middle East and have a long history in performance and recovery nutrition. The microgreen has a mildly bitter flavor balanced by the nutty sunnies and the mild buckwheat.
Are the protein claims verifiable?
Yes. Sunflower, buckwheat, and amaranth are all well-established complete-protein plants in nutrition science, three separate sources of all essential amino acids in one blend. The blend describes nutrient content rather than guaranteeing specific outcomes, real food contributing to a real-food diet.
How is Mighty Muscle different from Smoothie Blend?
Smoothie Blend is engineered for mild flavors that disappear into drinks. Mighty Muscle is engineered for protein and minerals across six varieties, including arugula and fenugreek that have stronger flavors. Mighty Muscle works in smoothies too, but the flavor is more present.
How much is the Mighty Muscle blend?
$20 for 8oz. Free local delivery in SE Pennsylvania. Six varieties of pesticide-free microgreens.
