Green Superfood, Chocolate, 17 oz (480 g)

I absolutely love these greens! Ordering more as I write this review. Being a flight attendant I am exposed to nearly every germ you can imagine. Not only that, but there are many days where we are forced to buy food on the go. Eating out isn't always what it's cracked up to be, and many times can still leave you feeling like something is missing. That is where the greens come into play. I have tried several different flavors of this brand, and all have been quite good. The original is a little rough, especially if this is a new regiment for your daily diet. I really enjoy both the chocolate and the berry. The chocolate I use in the mornings to mix with my chocolate protein shakes. Now don't get me wrong, you can still taste the greens in the protein shake but they become a very welcomed taste. At first when I began making these shakes it took a little getting use to for the flavor, but the way it left you feeling throughout the day was so good that it was worth it. I noticed that taking these greens every day was helping curve my cravings towards junk food, and I had a little more energy throughout the day. I definitely notice less bloating and my digestive system loves them. After a while I began to wonder if it was a combo of the protein shake helping with all these great attributes, so when I ran out of the greens we gave it a month before reordering to test this theory. While the shakes were great on their own, the greens were definitely the source of the positive aspects I listed. Now unfortunately I am often on the road and cannot make shakes every day. Nor do I want to wear out a good thing, so I decided to purchase the berry flavor. Now this flavor I use differently and I almost always mix it with Raspberry Emergen-C. This is my way of combating all the germs on the plane and keeping my immune system in balance so I am not getting sick every flu season. Let me tell you... it works! During my flight training almost every single one of my classmates got really sick from the long days, cold weather (27 degrees), and cafeteria food. However, I took this EVERYDAY (though at that time I was using the Original flavor with all different flavors of Emergen-C) and I was one of the very few that did not get sick. It really helps to give your body what it is lacking nutritionally on a daily basis. Between flying and having IBS, it has been a struggle keeping my digestive system and dietary needs in balance; I truly feel that this has made a difference in keeping my system moving and obtaining the nutrients I need. Hopefully you will enjoy your purchase as much as I have! I can certainly say that I will continue to be back for more!

Wow. Bought this based on the overwhelming majority of excellent seemingly unpaid reviews (thanks fellow shoppers!) and must concur with the majority. I have now worked my way through 2-3 of the full size jars, which we put on Subscribe & Save, after initially trying the smaller jar. So...I don't work out regularly, partly because it just ain't my bag and partly because I have little free time...and partly because I'm tired ALL THE TIME and it's a vicious circle. You're lethargic so you don't work out so your metabolism slows so you stay lethargic so you don't work out so your metabolism....on and on. Went to a GP and then to an endocrinologist who suspected hypothyroidism because I'm female/tired/losing hair but too young to be losing hair/cold all the time/retaining weight even on ultra-low calorie intake/dry skin, yada yada yada. But the thyroid test comes back negative whilst meanwhile I want to lay down and die now and then. They gave me uppers, but though it makes me 'normal' ( not speedy, just how I used to be when I was normal) I don't want to be chained to Big Pharma if I don't hafta be. So I bought this. I bought chocolate flavor despite not caring for chocolate because it seemed to be one of the best-reviewed in terms of mixability and flavor...not tasting like a bag of lawn clippings. It is a VERY fine powder that smells of cocoa powder with a hint of...lawn clippings. I bought a carton of chocolate almond milk to mix it into, since chocolate-on-chocolate seemed strategically sound. Do yourself a favor and buy one of those shaker cups with the flip top and the wire mixing ball inside. Stirring with a spoon is tiresome and lengthy and results in grittiness unless you want to devote a half hour to the task, which you don't. Do yourself another favor and put the liquid in FIRST. And only THEN add the powder. If you put the powder in first, you will never get it all off the bottom, where it will stay, hard and defiant and a waste of dollars. I sipped gingerly, expecting grass flavor. But although you will not mistake it for Nestle Quik, it is not bad tasting in chocolate milk. I'm telling you. If I can drink it you can. I'm the world champion of dubious eaters. Try it. It grows on you, too. At first sip I thought...well, I can choke this down...I guess. Now I care not, though I do keep it in the blender cup so I can reshake as desired ( I'm picky about texture too and eventually it does settle out). Use more liquid than recommended if you want to hide the taste/texture even more (I do). So as I sat on the couch staring at the wall reflecting on what might have brought me to this sad state of drinking chocolate grass out of a gym rat bottle, I actually noticed, within twenty minutes of the first sip....HEY. I feel awake. Not high, or amped up like I just took phentermine or a load of caffeine, just...alert. Is that the same wall I was staring at? Why was I tired? Is there time before I have to leave the house to put in some laundry and wipe down this leather couch that the dogs keep befouling with their muddy feet? Where ARE the dogs anyway? They could use a wash too, since the couch is about to be clean. I felt normal. I have no testimonial about how much weight I've lost or how glorious my skin looks or how much weight I can bench now. I'm sure if you were normal to begin with you might achieve some of that. I was just looking to not feel like a zombie, a potted plant, and that I definitely got. When I do NOT take it I DO feel a difference. I then recommended it to my husband, who does work out regularly, and firmly in the no-hippie-lawn-clippings-for-me category. He would not add even a pinch to his workout shake. I made him sip mine one morning on the promise it did not taste like dirt or grass. He said it wasn't bad. A short while later he confessed he had subsequently added a SMALL scoop to his workout drink and d@&$ if he didn't feel more alert and had more stamina that morning. Since then, he uses more than I do. For alertness and energy with no crash and no jitteriness, this is your daddy right here. Is it unfortunate that it's made out of vile green things that you have to hide to keep from gagging? Yeah, maybe. But you CAN hide it, so pick up the small size and see for yourself. It's very competitively priced here, btw. Our local grocer wants almost as much for the smaller jar.

INTRO: I was in the market for a new superfood supplement and ran across reviews for Amazing Grass. Previously I had been taking tablet forms of spirulina, chlorella, wheat grass, and barley grass, all of which made me gag briefly due to taste and texture. I knew the health benefits of those but honestly never felt much of an energy boost from them. I was hesitant about the idea of making a shake/smoothie every day but decided to give it a shot. Knowing I would probably hate the original grass version of Amazing Grass, I initially decided to order both the Chocolate and Berry flavors, and later the ORAC. I juice fresh fruit every morning so I decided to use the Berry in the morning and Chocolate in the afternoon. TASTE: I definitely like the flavor of the Chocolate grass (who doesn't love chocolate...). In the afternoon I mix up a shake of chocolate flavored organic rice protein, raw organic cacao powder, the chocolate Amazing Grass, chocolate Garden of Life RAW meal, flax milk, and almond milk, and it tastes fantastic with no "grassy undertones" whatsoever. I actually sometimes make 2 or 3 just because I like the taste as an afternoon snack. EFFECTS: I can definitely tell an immediate energy boost within minutes of drinking the Amazing Grass. What is great is that the effect is not a jittery, amphetamine-like boost that one would usually get from energy drinks and coffee; it is instead an "overall" energy boost and general absence of lethargy that allows you to continue about your day like usual without feeling the need for a nap or an espresso shot. Moreover, if it is not a placebo effect, I also feel like it slightly enhances my mental clarity. Besides the energy boost and great taste, it obviously feels good to know you're getting all those nutrients and superfoods in a small scoop. I am a big cacao fan so it's nice to have some extra cacao in the Chocolate Amazing Grass. Note that it is important to use Amazing Grass on an empty or light stomach so that all the nutrients are properly absorbed. Basically, if you're worried at all about flavor, I would suggest ordering the Chocolate grass and making a chocolate milkshake - maybe even consider adding a bit of organic chocolate syrup or chocolate flavored coconut ice cream. That way, you will not taste the Amazing Grass at all, which is why I like to add soy protein and cacao powder. When you open the lid, you can smell the rich chocolate flavor and it does not smell like grass at all, whereas the Berry smells and tastes a little like grass. For those wanting to lose weight, this stuff definitely curbs your appetite and almost makes it feel like you've actually eaten a small meal, especially when mixed with protein powder. Needless to say, it also cleans out your bowels very quickly each day. CONCLUSION: Compared to other superfood and holistic nutrient supplements, Amazing Grass is a relatively good value, especially from Amazon. I am very glad I found Amazing Grass and will continue to order it as my primary superfood nutrient source.

Unfortunately, when they changed the packaging they also changed the ingredients. There is less fiber now, way less probiotics, and they took out the digestive enzymes. Honestly, I'm kind of bummed. Taste and flavor are still good (I think the new formulation tastes a little better and smoother in texture), I just chose it specifically for the probiotics and fiber. I've been drinking the chocolate Amazing Grass powder for about 2 years now. It has had a great effect on my digestion and bowel movements. I'm really bad at eating enough fresh fruits and vegetables and this helps me get the nutrients I need. It really comes in handy when I go to AYCE KBBQ and need some veggies in me after. It's also saved the day quite a few times when we had stomach bugs and couldn't eat much food but still needed nutrients. I used a milk frother to quickly and smoothly mix it into a little bit of water. It's better in small quantities (not a full glass) and when mixed with milks or creamers. Tastes like chocolate milk, just more gritty.

I’ve gotten this a few times now, when you use the whole amount suggested it won’t mix into the liquid well but you just have to swirl it a bit before each sip. Otherwise it’s really delicious and I use this instead of coffee in the morning to get my iron and fiber
