Amazing Grass Energy Lemon Lime Green SuperFood - 30 Servings

I decided to try this mainly because of other reviews-- people felt great and the only complaint was about the taste. Well in a nation where people are used to donuts for breakfast and fast food for lunch-- I really took the bad taste mentions with a grain of salt--the healthy living people know better that it's not going to be a Snicker's bar, nor will it be some fast food shake-any of these powders will be pretty far from that, but LIKEWISE, instead of giving you food coma and constipation as their after effect (even if they drop some dopamine in the system and give a "high") they are going to make you feel GREAT. I figured that even if I didn't feel much different with these powders, at least it would be a good health thing to put in my body. Additionally it'd be good to look up an alkaline diet and alkalizing your blood and why having acidic blood is so bad for your system. Things like coffee and alcohol acidify the blood and things like lemons, even though they are acidic on the outside, once they get in your body they alkalize the blood and are so great for you! So for years now I have had issues with health that I've just wanted to feel like myself again. Now I'm not feeling quite as bouncy as I did in high school but I can't remember feeling this good fairly consistently in quite a while. I generally don't drink caffeine and when I have I don't feel much effect anyhow so I really don't think it's the caffeine in here giving me the boost- I think it's the contents. I am doing an internship now and the first several days of it I was ready to fall asleep much of the day, feeling sluggish like I wasn't getting enough oxygen, and even if I'd just have a salad for lunch and nothing heavy I'd still get sleepy after lunch and then and in general I would feel like most days took an effort like trying to trudge through a pool of jello-- so I'm not buzzing around bouncing off the walls, but it's a calm and peaceful kind of energy, I don't have to struggle to stay awake and I don't have the heavy drowsy feeling like something is stepping on me. And I have noticed, on the days I haven't taken it (more likely when I'm not going in for internship) I do notice a difference, even though most days I still feel better than I did before I started taking it. It came in the mail a bit into the internship and I'd say I've taken it maybe 7 times in the last 2 weeks or so. Don't mean to be dramatic but it really does feel like a bit of a miracle. I was hoping and hoping and hoping I'd somehow someway find something to help me feel better, and I really feel good about this! As for the taste-- I just put it in a smoothie, that "suspends" the grittiness etc and so I don't notice it much, don't taste it much, it's not as hard to take down. Years ago there was some diet in one of those health magazines and it was to alkalize the body. Not only were you supposed to drink baking soda in water which made me gag, there was some kind of green powder back then that also was almost unbearable so what good is some wonderful diet if your issue is not "I'm hungry" but "omg I can't even get this down" so.....man.....this is just so much better and SOoOOoOo worth the price. I believe in "you either pay the doctors or you pay the farmer" and so not only that, but I'd rather spent time outside on a farm than in a hospital, I'm about prevention over having to fix a problem once it's already in progress. Oh another note before I forget, I've been putting it in hemp shakes along with hemp protein and fiber. I next have ordered the meal from this same company and we'll see how that goes-- It's not DELICIOUS but it's more than bearable and even my mom thinks it's decent and she's pickier about health food than I am-- with the hemp shakes she says they remind her of halva a little bit--so I put this powder usually in the vanilla one or maybe the berry, the chocolate is pushing the limits of tastiness with this flavor grass powder-- So in conclusion-- THIS IS GREAT and unless you don't care about taste or texture, PUT IT IN A SMOOTHIE!!!! I don't see any reason to put it in just water or juice unless you REALLY LIKE THAT but try it first in the way you're more likely to have a GOOD experience instead of initially having a yucky experience and thus giving yourself an aversion to it.... I hope you have as wonderful of an experience as I have!!!

I’ve been drinking coffee for years, but it started making me feel really anxious. I didn’t think I could stop because without it I feel tired and low‑energy. I decided to try these greens, and honestly I’m shocked at how good I feel. The caffeine is much gentler, but I’m still getting everything done during my day — maybe even more — because I’m not dealing with coffee anxiety. By the time I go to bed, I’m actually tired in a good way and falling asleep easier. It’s also a win‑win because not only do I feel better, but I’m drinking something that’s actually good for me. It can get a little clumpy, but using a straw fixes it for me because I don't have a mixer. The taste reminds me of a matcha lemonade. Overall, these greens helped me cut out coffee and still feel energized without the jitters.

So far I’ve been using this for two weeks and I gotta say, it does work for me. I work overnights and along with a diet and excercise, this has done more for me than the typical energy drink. What I mean is this lasts longer with less caffeine in comparison. Again, I am on a healthier diet and excercising five days a week starting in 2019 so I’m sure this aids in how much better I’m feeling. But still, in the evenings when I’m awake, before work, I do feel tired after excercising. Just before I leave for work I chug down a scoop of this with plain water and within minutes I can feel myself “waking up” from sleepiness. How does it taste? For me it’s like an unsweetened lime with water and a hint of unflavored husk fiber. That’s what I compare it to but it’s not bad nor really good. I don’t get an after taste and aside from being a bit gritty, it goes down pretty easy and I don’t need to mix it with anything else or add sweeteners etc. I haven’t gotten any after taste beyond the last gulp, and it’s not something that sticks around either. Some have mentioned that this runs right through them and I can agree that it does. I paired this with the Detox Digestion where I took that in the early mornings after work and energy one before so the combo might have aided in that as well. Now, it didn’t happen right away though. It would take 8-10 hours before that kicked in, and when it did, I was going 3-5 times in an hour but was good after that. This happened for about 10 days and pretty much stopped after that. My friend and my wife said this didn’t happen to them but they only tried one serving once. Dizziness and light headed. Yeah, I do get this everyday and it happens a few times a day but each instant lasts for under a minute and goes away. For me it’s just a slight nausea and nothing more beyond that. Maybe it’s the product and maybe some of it has to do with me quitting Energy Drinks altogether. This has much less caffeine than the 300mg I was consuming before. My friend and my wife didn’t feel this. All in all, I would recommend you try it but drink lots of water to replace what may go through you. A friend at work liked it but my wife didn’t as far as taste. He said it taste and smells like bread and she just didn’t like it. In the end, they both said they felt better as the hours went by, didn’t feel jittery, just felt “normal” is what they told me.

Well after reading all the negative comments on flavor I steeled myself for an unpleasant taste experience, expecting it to be akin to taking raw cod liver oil. I was pleasantly surprised. While it doesn't rank next to a chocolate malted as a drink I would long for, it was not that unpleasant. I can't say I would drink it again and again simply because I just loved the taste, but it is a decent tasting health drink and I find no resistance to drinking it again and again for the benefit it brings. All in all it was not an unpleasant taste bud experience. Of course I also like steamed broccoli so perhaps I have strange taste buds. My one complaint is that it ruined my afternoon nap. (I drink it at lunch) I have always enjoyed that nap time sometime between 2 -3 o'clock but now I am too energetic to lay down and end up working through my nap time. Perhaps it does actually give you energy! I gave it four stars because a chocolate malt still tastes better. Perhaps when they come out with a malted's flavor I can give it five stars. :) Don't let the flavor be a reason not to get this. I drank it straight with water and no sweetener. Its not bad!

I bought this based as a recommendation from a friend after I was hit up with an It Works stuff. So I have to say, the first two times I had it, it was a bit much and I did feel like I was juicing the lawn mower clippings. But I stuck it through and promised myself I would last at least a week. So by the third day, my body was craving a second by 2pm. So if I didn't like it, but was craving it, I knew my body was getting something! Well, I figured out, it taste a lot better with a couple of donks of pure stevia powder. This might be too sweet for some, but for me, it makes it so much more enjoyable. So things to note! (1) the first week, the gas was bad! I think my body was re adjusting to the new greens in the system. Yikes. After a week, I guess my internal microbes were worked out and the gas had passed. (2) after 6 babies in 11 years, my system is a bit depleted. So for the first week, I would just get drowsy after taking it. I kind of think my body wanted this so bad that my system shut down to focus on the nutrients. But after a while it got better. (3) I do not get an energy boost. But I have better stamina for the day. So it wasn't the boost like I expected, but still pleased. (4) I started taking it in the morning on an empty stomach, as a result I started forgetting to have a cup of coffee. So now I only have coffee when I want it, not because I NEED it. (5) my kids like it. I didn't expect that and when they asked to try it, I figured they would not like it. Now they are like little birds trying to drink it on me. So this is a new keeper in my freezer. I already ordered the larger size so I have enough to do 2 a day.
