Greens Trio Wheatgrass, Alfalfa and Barley Grass, 30 Servings

I decided to rotate my morning green shakes with this Barley, Wheat and Alfalfa blend, as I tend to use a different AG variety every month to supplement my diet with. This blend seems to help with digestion and "regularity" as well as having a cleansing effect. I'll be honest, while the taste is fairly neutral, mixing it with plain coconut milk, it tastes like a mouthful of grass would. Adding a piece of fruit or any sort of flavored powder or milk would make it more pleasant. But I don't drink these for the taste, I woof it down like Rocky drinking two raw eggs in the morning - the noticeable health benefits are fantastic, and the ingredients are very "active" (you can see the spores/growth clinging to the plastic scoop). I keep it in the fridge and put it in a Nutri-Bullet every morning with some coconut mlk (low fat version). It also does a decent job suppressing hunger for a few hours. I find the positive mental and physical energy boosts from this over time to be invaluable for someone in his mid-40's (along with other smart supplementation throughout the day).

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.

The smell of the product itself is not very pleasant, but neither are vitamins or supplements in general, they all smell like fish food. Most supplements smell bad, but that's why it gets mixed with something else, to dilute it and make it tolerable. I only smelled it based on the reviews I read prior to purchasing. I'm glad I took a chance. Today was my first day drinknig this. I drank it with 8oz Bolthouse "Blue Goodness". As long as you don't pay attention to the color (which turns dark grey), there is only a minor change in taste. Even my husband, who does not like anything "green" (took 2 years of convincing to eat a few veggies with dinner), said it tasted fine. I usually get very tired (and sleepy) in the mid afternoon, and not even coffee (or an energy drink) can help me most days, but today I have lots of energy. I am not "wound up" like I can get after too much caffeine, I just have better level of alertness. I only took one serving in the morning, tomorrow I might try an extra one with lunch and see if it helps.

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.

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.

It's very rare that I review anything and give it a perfect score. I have only been taking this product about a week, but in that short period of time, I have noticed a big difference in the way I feel. I have so much energy I can hardly contain myself - and I only take it once a day. I have also noticed an improvement in my overall health, physically and mentally - the detoxification effect and the vitality. I have concocted a simple "smoothie", if you will, consisting of about 3/4 cup of Almond Breeze, 1 scoop of Amazing Grass Amazing Trio powder, 1t cinnamon, 1 pack of Truvia, and approximately 1/2t matcha green tea powder. Mix it up. Drink it up. It's delicious! I was already taking the matcha tea, but had not noticed a difference until I started mixing it with the Amazing Grass Amazing Trio powder. I now look forward to getting up every morning, drinking my smoothie, and jump starting my day.

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.

good product. delivered as promised.
