    Product: “Amazing Grass Green Superfood” (unflavored)

    STRONG LIKES:
    * Nutritional Density: This product contains a well balanced organic mix of nutritionally super-dense dehydrated grass & vegetable extracts (wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, “spirulina” blue-green algae, spinach and broccoli), natural plant-based antioxidants (Acai berry, maca, carrot, beet, raspberry, rose hips, pineapple, green tea and acerola cherry), fiber (ground flax seed, and apple pectin), enzymes & pre/probiotics (chicory root, acidophilous, amylase, protease, lipase, lactase, cellulase), and mild herbal stimulants (peppermint and eleuthero root).

    * Pleasant Taste: For the unflavored powder (the only version I’ve tried as of this writing), the texture is very slightly gritty (as you’d expect from dehydrated plant extracts and ground flax), but the flavor is pleasant and pairs well with other flavors … the finish is faintly sweet, with a vague hint of raspberry and cocoa powder.

    MINOR NITS:
    * Premium Price: This is a somewhat expensive product, but don’t let that deter you because it’s very good value, given it’s quality and high nutritional density. On a serving for serving basis, it’s still cheaper than a shot of freshly squeezed wheat grass at your local healthfood market – and it’s more balanced too. Prices should begin to slowly decrease as other companies jump onboard with wheat grass and spirulina production, and you can always use a bit less than the recommended serving size (especially if you’re mixing it with other supplements).

    * Mixability: I’d classify it as “ok” on mixibility. Stirring doesn’t work well, so I’ve found it best to either use a drink blender, or scoop a little into a small reusable jar (along with any other nutritional powders you like), and shake it with your liquid of choice (I use fat free milk).

    * Nomenclature: The claim of “amazing energy” is slightly misleading, because this is NOT an energy drink – it contains only a small amount of carbohydrate. What it DOES contain are B-vitamins and pre/pro-biotic ingredients that indirectly help your metabolism. This is not a complaint per se, but rather an attempt to help clarify the claim on the label.

    BOTTOM LINE:
    * Highly recommended – a good and fully organic supplement for busy people on the run. I’d have given it 5 stars if it blended a little better and was a bit more economical, but regardless I’m very happy with it, and will continue to buy it regularly. You don’t have to be a vegan to enjoy it.

    This green powder is SO good, I just had to get the word out. Others I’ve tried (Whole Foods brand, Barlean’s Greens, Berry Green, many others) literally taste just like grass clippings, so you have no choice but to mix it with juice or a smoothie. THIS green superfood is palatable enough to drink just mixed with water! (Let me explain: do not expect it to be SWEET. This is a veggie drink, but it has an ever-so-slight hint of raspberry that’s pleasing to the tongue when you gulp it down.)

    Healthwise, I’ve notice that my skin has gotten clearer, my energy levels have evened out, and I’ve harly even gotten a cough, let alone a cold, in the several years I’ve been drinking this- and I work with the sick and elderly.

    Yes, there is sediment, but that is because this drink has FIBER in it- the kind that is naturally in fruits and veggies.

    Accept it for what it is, compare it to the alternatives, and imagine how incredibly amazing you will feel. Then make your decision.

    Very healthy stuff. I don’t eat as much vegetables as I should, but this helps balance my diet with the chock-full of nutrients it provides. The most appealing benefits to me are 100% DV vitamin A as beta carotene, powerful antioxidant blend, and probiotic active cultures like those in in yogurt.

    The aroma is pleasant and so is the taste, but the solubility is difficult. Since it contains insoluble fiber, it doesn’t dissolve completely with water or juice. Smoothies are best for this mix. I tried cold water and hot water, and its quite gritty in both –not sand-like mind you, but sort of like not completely mixing cocoa powder and trying to drink it. Speaking of which, for some odd reason the taste and aroma reminds me of hot cocoa. After discovering hot water doesnt help dissolve everything, I wouldn’t recommend it since heat can diminish a lot of the nutrient power this mix provides, especially the antioxidants.

    Per the label, it is best kept frozen or refrigerated after opening.

    UPDATE 12/10/2011 ***********
    I find that I like the taste when it is mixed with vanilla-flavored soymilk. One way I use the mix is to add flavor to my high-fiber cereal and soymilk, which looks gross since your milk turns green, but at least the gritty bits are masked by the cereal and dont bother me one bit (pun?).

    UPDATE 1/20/2012 ************
    I’m really enjoying this supplement powder! I can sense myself feeling better throughout the day. Since I take this supplement first thing every morning, I have become more regular in my bowel movements (almost clockwork) and noticed good changes in my stool, defecating clean and easy. At first, I was very gaseous as my body tried to get accustom to the high volume of fiber in my supplemented diet. But after a couple days the flatulence subsided, and I was reaping the benefits of fiber without the sound effects (which by the way did not smell… at least to me =P ).

    UPDATE 2/2/2012 ************
    I noticed that there is another size available for this Green Superfood (17oz vs 8.5oz) for a cheaper price per ounce value. Just to let you guys know, I bought this one back in November 2011 and the expiration date for my container says August 2013. Thats nearly a 2-year shelf life! But I think they are referring to the shelf that is in your refigerator, rather than your cupboard.

    UPDATE 2/24/2012 ************
    I’ve been taking this every weekday at work, one scoop every morning with my cereal. Finally finished the container roughly in two months. As I try to reflect on any long term changes, I do notice that I wake up easier for work, which is at 4:00 AM every morning. I try to get at least 7 hours of sleep, but most of the time I fall asleep between 10:00-11:00 PM, and surprisingly I’m still mentally awake until that time.
