Amazing Grass Greens Superfood Antioxidant: Greens Powder with Organic Spirulina, Beet Root Powder, Elderberry & Probiotics, Sweet Berry, 100 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

I love this stuff: I love the taste, texture and how it works. I use this (the chocolate and berry flavors) almost every day, and have done so for well over six months now. I've found it mixes easily - probably because I use a power mixer - and actually tastes good - UNLIKE Perfect Food brand superfood which tastes and smells like eating rotten grass (IMHO). This Greens Blend superfood actually smells and tastes good. The best part - and I realize this is a family channel so I'll try and keep this clean - is the effect regular use of the greens blend on the "plumbing". I've found that regular use of this particular superfood - Amazing Greens Blend - keeps everything running smoothly without prompting any crazy reactions. Other brands of superfood - particularly the Perfect Food brand - have gummed up the works, at least for me. Not so with Amazing Grass Greens Blend - all of the benefits, none of the digestive downsides.

*TASTE*I'm not too keen on the flavor, the "Tangerine" flavoring is absolutely horrid, in my humble opinion. I've tasted the 'ORAC' version, in the purple container, and that is by far my favorite. It's really, REALLY good, not too grassy, and has a subtle, fruity sweetness that I really enjoy. That being said, I wasn't in this for the flavoring from the get go, so I didn't let that simple fact hinder my rating of the product.*APPLICATION*I take one scoop in about 4 ounces of water, and get it over with first thing when I wake up, then I eat breakfast about an hour later. It goes down well, it's a tad bit gritty, but what can you expect? There's a bunch of different grasses in the product, they can only get it so fine. I do feel more regular when taking the product. I also feel more energized, relaxed, and balanced. I've only been taking it for 7 days, though, so I will be sure to update this review in 30 days.*OVERVIEW*I like the company and what they stand for, so I'll be ordering a 100 serving size of the 'ORAC' formula in a couple of days. I'm not sure that I even want to finish this container, but I shall! Waste not want not. It's a good product, and the prices on Amazon can't be beat. If you want a sense of well-being, want to boost your immune system naturally, and don't have the time or the willpower to stuff the recommended servings of ORGANIC greens and whatnot down your throat, or they're simply not ACCESSIBLE to you, then I highly recommend this product.The only downfall of the formula, in my opinion, would be that it's not a significant source of Magnesium, Manganese, Vitamin K, B12, B6 Potassium, Calcium, & Iron. This fact doesn't make or break the formula, just know that I foolishly went into it thinking that this would take the place of other supplements and nutrition, which is not the case. You will have to supplement the lacking vitamins and minerals by eating REAL FOOD, or taking a separate supplement. Well done 'Amazing Grass', money well spent.

I've now tried this Sweet Berry flavor and the Original flavor and I like them both. Not gonna lie, they both have a distinct "greens" flavor which tastes grassy (after all is it does have GRASS in the name), but it is easily combined with other mild flavored healthy beverages to create a gentle greens flavor.TASTE: If you've had Greens Plus Energy Bars, the taste of the Original Amazing Grass is very similar. The Sweet Berry flavor is more of a strong raspberry / black currant / cherry taste so mix with juices accordingly. I like either or both flavors mixed with green tea.QUICK HEALTHY SMOOTHIE RECIPE: My general rule is that whatever you decide to mix it with, be sure to stick to a ratio of 3:1 juice to water otherwise the flavor is too concentrated. I just shake it up in a non-blender bottle and there is hardly any grit at first and then all dissolves into the drink. Here's how I formulate new smoothies daily:1 cup fruit / vegetable juice or green tea1/2 cup protein drink1/2 cup water1 scoop of Amazing Grass^ The attached nutritional facts are for the above recipe with Diet Green Tea, Evolve Vanilla Protein Drink & Original Amazing Grass. Not bad for 28% daily fiber and 22% protein in a 105 calorie, vitamin-packed drink!More ideas: Tastes awesome mixed with pineapple juice and a dash of coconut milk. Love it with 1 tbls POM juice, 1 tbls watermelon juice and 8oz of water. Or drop the watermelon juice and add about 1/2 tsp of almond extract and it tastes like a healthy Shirley Temple! For a lighter flavor, take a few sips of a bottle of water and replace them with coconut water, then add a scoop of Sweet Berry greens - so refreshing! Also delicious in lemon water sweetened with stevia if desired.HOMEMADE NUTRITION BARS: For a make-in-advance dose of greens, I like to have homemade greens grain bars on hand. I make them different every time but here is the gist of how-to:1.) Microwave 3 tbls Vitafiber Syrup for 2.5 minutes on power level 42.) While heating the syrup, mix dry ingredients:~ 1 Scoop Amazing Greens (whichever flavor you like)~ 2 tbls of UNFLAVORED whey protein powder~ 1 tbls coconut flour~ 4 tbls of nuts or grains or your choice*3.) Once syrup is ready, stir in the dry ingredients and divide into 3rds.4.) Shape into bars and place them individually on plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.5.) Refrigerate for an hour or two and then enjoy! (Great for traveling)*Get creative. I've used combinations of chia seeds, hemp hearts, flax seeds, granola, quinoa, etc.Add Maqui or Acai powder in there too, if you want a stronger berry flavor! If the bars aren't sweet enough for your liking, add some honey into the Vitafiber syrup or a little stevia to taste.This drink mix is perfect in morning smoothies or to get you over that afternoon slump. Tastes delicious and is a nice, healthy alternative to all the junky ingredients you could be putting into your body. I'm sold on it and I challenge you to try it and come up with new mix ideas to share with me!!
