 Tastes fantastic! March 5, 2010
Ashley Pendola
This product IS truly amazing. It tastes wonderful, has organic ingredients, and helped to increase my energy levels and cut down my cravings for desserts and sweets. All you need is one scoop a day (although you can have 1-3 servings). I chose to add mine to soy or almond milk (because there is a lot of sugar in milk) and then I throw it in the blender with what ever fruit I feel like enjoying that day. It tastes like a chocolate smoothie! I am not a mother yet, but in the future I would definitely supplement my child's diet with this (they do make it for children as well). It helps the body get the nutrients it requires and tastes fantastic! By far the best I have ever tried. I read some reviewers had difficulty mixing it, but if you put it in the blender for 30 seconds you don't have to worry about any sediment on the bottom of your glass. I just make sure to rinse the blender before it dries on it because then you have to scrub it a little. If you don't have a blender I am sure you could put it in a cup with a lid and shake it vigorously. Try this, you won't be disappointed. It's more like a treat than a supplement.
Super good superfood! January 31, 2010

This superfood is so yummy! Not gritty, or frothy, just right! It helps me get thru my busy day and I love knowing I got tons of great greens in.
The ONE thing you must know about this drink is you need to mix the powder with ONE oz. of water when you make your cup before you add the milk. If you don't it will be chunky and gross.
I also add chocolate whey protein to it and that makes it even yummier!
 Tastes terrible January 30, 2010

I am not using the product as intended because I can't seem to get it down in the morning. The flavor is supposed to be chocolate, the color is there but that is just about it. If i put in flavored creamer for 1/4 of the liquid, I can drink it, otherwise it is tough. I feel bad because I know it is good for me. I guess I will just have to persevere and get by the taste.
tasty greenfood choice! December 31, 2009

Being a health nut, I have put some greenfood powders in my mouth that were less than tasty, let me tell you. This one suggests being mixed with milk, but I went ahead and tried it just with water out of curiosity BEFORE the indulgence of milk. I was very pleasantly surprised at the lovely cocoa flavor. I bought this more for my hubby who cannot stomach green drinks and forgets to take his capsule version...his words "not the best chocolate milk I have ever tasted, but as a green drink not bad at all"...from him, Standard American Diet Man, this is high praise. i am trying to get thru a less tasty one at home now so I can indulge in HIS.
Palatable blend of impressive array of nutrients and antioxidants November 10, 2009

I ordered this with trepidation. I've never been able to swallow green food mixes, other than Green Magma (which is not "mixed", but just barley grass). Wheat grass makes me gag. Literally--cannot swallow it. My body rejects it and I gag and spit it out. So, over the years, trying green foods trying to find something I can swallow has been trying.
Well, there ya go. This one works.
I ordered it on the basis of numerous positive flavor reviews and I liked the list of nutrients/enzymes.
30 calories per serving of 8 grams= 1 g fat, 2 g protein, 4 g carbs (2 g fiber), 65% Vit A, 30% of C and K, 15% of B12 and Riboflavin, 6% of iron and manganese; organic grasses (wheat, barley, alfalfa, spirulina, spinach, broccoli, chlorela); with antioxidant from maca, acai, carrot, rose hips, beet, pineapple, green tea, acerola cherry. Fiber from apple pectin, organic oat powder, organic flax seed powder. Also L acidophilus, peppermint, Siberian eleuthero root, and sea salt.
The flavor is pleasant. It's like the taste of bitterish dark chocolate bars with a grassy undertone that isn't offputting. It's not like it's a chocolate malted or anything, but it works fine for me. I can drink this. I do not gag. Yay.
I will reorder this. I like the healthful profile and the flavor.
UPDATE: Okay, I didn't really expect a noticeable effect from this (I mean, I've had superfoods before and didn't suddenly go change the world or anything), but I have actually noticed an uptick in my energy after adding this to my pre-workout smoothie and my pre-chore protein drink. I've been adding it to BSN sytha-6 chocolate protein mix with an extra teaspoon (heaping) of Raw cacao (organic), and it's a nice flavor combo. I think it would be great with a banana, too, for extra potassium (a chocobanana vibe).
Maybe it's placebo. Who knows? But as I wasn't thinking I'd notice a change, maybe not. But wow, I do feel an energy surge in the afternoon when I usually have a slump and I get through my 55 minute personal training session with more oomph.
