Amazing Grass Amazing Trio, 240 G

I love this stuff. It helps a lot when my stomach is unhappy. I use this as needed, not as a regular supplement. It tastes good, and mixes well. It is easy to get all of the lumps out and tastes best with ice. I wish they still made the individual serving packets of these as well. I keep these on my subscribe and save.

This stuff is great! I can really feel a big boost of energy after taking it! Additionally, I used to have a lot of digestive issues that seem to have cleared up with this product. I really trust Amazing Grass and think their products are top quality. Many years ago I used to use their green superfood powder, but it had a lot of enzymes and probiotics in it that gave me digestive problems and an upset stomach. I like that this powder is just the natural grasses, minus all the enzymes and probiotic additives. The taste is not great, but not bad. It's slightly sweet with a grassy flavor. I've tried it in apple juice, but it was way too sweet for me. I just mix it in a little bit of water. I don't enjoy it, but it's easy enough to just gulp down and chase with some water to get the flavor out of your mouth. If you used it in a big smoothie you probably wouldn't notice it much.

I bought this to use for a 3-day detox found in this book Hungry for Change: Ditch the Diets, Conquer the Cravings, and Eat Your Way to Lifelong Health , based on the documentary Hungry for Change. Because the breakfast calls for one of two recipes (one requiring a juice, which I do not have) and one requiring either barley grass or wheat grass powder and spirulina, I ordered this Amazing Grass Amazing Trio and I already had this Nutrex Hawaii Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica Powder, 16-Ounce Bottle . I combined the powders in water; they both mixed up easily with no clumps or mess. For daily use, this concoction would taste much better if blended with a frozen banana or perhaps half an apple, to sweeten it up and mask the very earthy and sea-like taste. However for the purpose of the 3-day detox, I can stand it with just the water. This is incredibly energizing and great for preparing the body for the day. I cannot have caffeine and this wakes me right up. On a side note, I found that this drink is incredibly helpful with eliminating hangovers. I have tried it the morning after a night out with instant relief from hangover symptoms and I've also drank it before bed and woken up without a hangover.

I do think this is gritty when just disolved in water, no matter how much I stir it. It tastes the way you expect greens powder to taste. It tastes healthy and like you’re doing something good for your body, because you are! It’s an easy and convenient way to get those nutrients and micro nutrients and go on with your day. Sometimes I put it into a protein smoothie and more often it’s just stirred into water or maybe some fruit juice if I’m feeling fancy. I’m here to re-order. I think it’s one of the better greens on the market.

Good ingredients, tastes okay, but upsets my stomach for some reason - Maybe it's the pH - Container suggests adding to orange or apple juice, which would lower the pH and perhaps make it more acceptable to my stomach, but juice is little more than sugar water and I try to avoid it. Green Magma does the same thing to my stomach - a more or less immediate feeling of discomfort - which is why I think it's a pH thing. Barlean's Greens and several others are no problem for me, though! *** UPDATE - It's fine if I add a little orange juice (80% water, 20% OJ) and a tiny dash of salt! *** UPDATE 2 - For the last couple of days I have been taking it straight with water -- and no problem! I do take it with food, though. I think it's pretty healthy stuff.
