   When I took this, I all of the sudden found my metabolism had a boost, and I was going to the bathroom more. This is a supplement that is marketed for its natural content of vegetables, so I take it as if I am having a healthy and cheap alternative to a super green juice like at Jamba Juice.

   One day, I began to question all of the content in processed foods I was eating and why I was sick. This product did not make me sick. However, after reading the label, I found these things:

   -The vegetable content of the powder is 6.8 grams of one serving, which is 85% of the content of each serving.

   -The rest of the content are laxatives and chemicals which help in digestion of normal and unhealthy foods along with processed fiber.

   I would be very careful of taking this over a long period of time. There are only 7 grams of vegetables in one serving of powder. Compare this with one serving of lettuce, which is 55 grams or one serving of broccoli, which is 78 grams. This product is very well marketed as a product with a full day’s worth of vegetables, which is a significant contrast from what doctors and most food pyramids recommend actual intake of a much higher weight of vegetable intake in a healthy diet. While it feels good after you take it, it is likely the fact that you are going to the bathroom to poop rather than the wonderful vegetables that are such an amazingly organically grown food packed with the finest nutrients which are causing you to feel good. The chemicals at the bottom of the label are found naturally in foods which aid in digestion and processing of food, including lactase. This product is much more scientific than it is natural.

   Note: this is good for a person to use if they will not eat any vegetables in a day, for example if a person is traveling and won’t be having much of a diet besides alcohol and bar/club food. However, vegetables are still needed if a person will get the remaining intake of Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin K. When taken alone, a person would be missing 92% of Fiber not found in nuts or bread, 75% of Vitamin A, 43% of Vitamin C, and 12% of Vitamin K, which means one serving does definitely not provide a full day’s recommended intake of vegetables.

   This product reminds me of Barley Green. Long time ago I woke up from a coma, weak and very under weight. Had to be weighed in a sling because I was too weak to stand on my own. The hospital pushed these horrible tasting protein shakes but I could not abide them. Family found Barley green and my status started to be turned around. Long story short, I was able to start eating and eventually walk out of the hospital under my own

   steam. This helps with daily bm and can be mixed with juice of choice if too grassy tasting. Better than just a green juice because of added superfoods. Just started using will update later.

   Someone in my chiropractor’s office overheard that I am trying to lose 20 pounds and suggested I try this powder. I was skeptical at first but upon drinking it well blended in warm water, it tastes like lightly sweetened green tea, and there isn’t any sugar or artificial sweeteners added. The fact that it supplies an additional two servings of produce to my daily needs is also a big plus, especially since my new health coach wants me to consume up to seven servings of fruits and vegetables a day. With only 30mg of sodium, it’s also better than V8 for those of us with high blood pressure. I look forward to seeing how much it helps with my weight-loss efforts.

   I like the idea of getting more green food nutrition, especially since I do not always eat greens and fruit. This powder makes it so easy to get that nutrition. I’ve been taking it for three weeks now and notice that my energy is getting a boost. And I’m not sure if it’s helping me with my hair but I am seeing new hair sprouting!! I’ve had issues with my hair falling off really bad. You could see my scalp everywhere. But there’s hair sprouting and growing. I will definitely continue to drink. I completely recommend it.

   However if you are a texture person and grainy bothers you then this powder is not for you.

   The flavor is a little sweet, not bad at all. And considering the benefits it’s not bad at all.

   One gripe I have is the quantity. The product says it’s for 30 servings and here I am going into week four with supposed seven servings left and it looks like I will only have enough for four days, if that. And I’ve been using the recommended scoop and sometimes a little less due to the quantity. This is the reason for the 4 stars and not 5. Makes me feel cheated out of my money.

   Taste: It’s not bad. Not sure what some people complain about regarding taste. I would imagine they’ve never had unsweetened tea in their life. It’s not bitter, just grassy.

   Texture. Smooth. Yes just the tiniest bit grainy. Not an issue. If you’ve ever had a protein shake in your life, you’ll be fine.

   Ingredient profile: It’s just fine. It’s greens. For those complaining about the “old” formula being better, I saw the pictures in the reviews, and it’s literally the same formula. Again nutritional information differs slightly season to season, crop to crop. To me it looks like some nutritional information was omitted (mineral content, VitB complex including niacin, riboflavin) by the latest analysis/label. That’s fine. Nothing a multivitamin doesnt have an adequate amount of, or that you wouldn’t already be eating an adequate amount of if you can afford this product.

   For first time greens buyer – great value compared to some other green options. I held off on buying greens for a long time – I viewed as nonessential. I’m 24 and train on a daily basis – running, rucking, calisthenics, lifting, judo/bjj and hit the stairmaster often. I usually do more than one modality a day. That said, the high volume of training can leave me worn down, struggling to fight off the urge to take a rest day and barely getting in a single modality of training. When I start to take this on a daily basis, I become much more productive. It’s not caffeine, and it doesn’t turn me into a superhuman, but imagine how much more productive you’d be if you didn’t feel so tired, or lazy all the time. Increased overall well being -> productivity.

   It took me quite some time to figure out the best way to make this powder palatable for my tastes.

   First of all, if you’ve ever bought that powdered fish food that makes a food gel/paste, then you’ll understand just how similar the smell and consistency of this product is to fish food. The smell is exactly how it tastes and that’s not at all pleasant. Plus it’s SUPER gritty! I tried desolving in water before putting in my smoothy and still, grit. Second, it claims that it gives you a full serving of fruits and vegetables but looking at the labels, that claim is inaccurate and it contains laxatives! Also, it turns into a very odd consistency when I blend it with fruit and my collagen powder supplement.

   I’ll finish this bottle, but I definitely will not be buying more.

   I have been using this for the last 4 months now. I love it! I really don’t get in much veggies or fruits, so this really helps me! I feel a lot more energized and don’t have anymore bathroom issues. Oh also, my skin has really cleared up as well! What you put in your body really affects you! I would recommend drinking this in the morning. For those that are complaining about the taste, OH HUSH. You don’t drink this for the taste and you know it! You drink it for its benefits! Plus for me, I mix it with orange juice and I don’t taste it at all! If you want to feel healthier and energized, I would highly recommend buying this and making it part of your morning routine daily!

   I’ve tried lots of various organic supplements to keep my body full of nutrition and health iver the years (working at a health food store changes your life I swear). This is one of my two favorite ones I’ve had. I won’t mention the other one here because it seems like bad policy but feel free to message me about it!

   I’ve been taking this for about a week and a half now and after a month without any healthy morning supplements I notice a Big difference in my energy level and over feeling of wellbeing.

   I bought the original flavor and think it mixes and tastes beat with either the Naked brand Mango juice or the Naked blueberry fruit one.

   There’s also less heavy metals in this brand than many others – I know that sounds like hogwash, but look it up!

   And definitely give it a try, it really works for me.

   I ordered this product on 2/24/19 and I received it with Prime shipping on 2/27/19. I decided to ordered this based on a similar product a friend ordered from a overly priced company 1st Phorm . (I wasn’t about to spend $60). I have the small 8.5 ounce container which is 30 servings. I decided to start off with a small container in case I hated the taste. I made a green smoothie using ice, Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness, and a 1/2 tsp of the Amazing Grass Green Superfood. The mixture was tasteful and hid the “grass earth taste”. I would definitely recommend mixing with either orange juice or a smoothie mix. After drinking this you will go to the bathroom at least once within the first 30 minutes of consumption. I use this product to get a extra serving of vegetables. I found myself spending a lot of time prepping vegetables to bring for lunch this option is a bit more convenient for me right now. It saves me a lot of time. Also don’t be alarmed your urine will have a slight green tint to it. Don’t freak out it’s normal. I would recommend this product and I hope to try the other flavors as well.
