RAW Organic Perfect Food Juiced Greens Powder, 30 Servings

I've been buying and drinking this each morning for going on nearly 4 years now - for medical purposes, I don't get enough nutrition. It's the best you can find, truly, but due to the ever rising cost of it, I won't be able to purchase it much longer, which means I'm going to become ill again. Please do better Garden of Life - the prices are becoming undoable for too many. :( HIGHLY Recommend it for health and nutrition. I normally get the chocolate flavor, my favorite, mixes so well and thin, taste great or no taste really, very detestable, texture is like liquid Terrible value for the money, sadly. :(

I would normally never write a review after having a supplement only a day but this stuff is really great. I got this because eating right has become a challenge since I am taking care of my senior father and make things to suit his tastes and that just isn't healthy. I figured some of this 2-3 times a day would take care of the missing veggies and I could cut back on eating the unhealthy foods. I figured results would be something seen long term. I was surprised. I had a tablespoon in the afternoon then one before bed. I felt a big change in my mind/brain by that night. It felt like my brain had been suffocating and suddenly could breath again. I've had problems with memory and I was suddenly having vivid memories of long forgotten things and remembering things I'd normally forget to do. Only thing was my brain was trying to make up for lost time so found it a bit hard to get to sleep so may avoid taking any right before bed again, but it's not like a drug that sets the mind racing it was more like "Oh I can think clearly now, so much to think about" So there really is no other way to describe this than awesome. I've got more energy and more alert and feeling more ambitious and up beat too. I've tried lots of supplements and never have felt so dramatically better so fast or at all really though things have been effective. Oh yes taste: it basically tastes just like spinach so tastes just fine plain to me, taking a spoonful and swishing it around with water in my mouth.(though normally not advised by companies of powdered supplements due to choking hazard). Of course if you drink a lot of smoothies then mixing it would be great. Ps I figure about 1 tablespoon is roughly equal to 1 cup of veggies. Exactly how much a veggy shrinks once dehydrated and powdered varies but it often works out to around 1 tablespoon per cup of whole. For those with less difference it's made up for in the powdered juices as that's even more concentrated and basically just minus the fiber so it may really equal more than a cup per tablespoon. There's nothing like eating healthy but even when you are it would be hard to eat a pound and half or more of veggies a day but I can easily take 3 tablespoons. Price wise it is also cheaper than buying 30 pounds of veggies(some of them exotic). So my plan is just 3 tablespoons per day most of the time so should last about a month as a scoop(suggested serving) measured out to be 3 flat tablespoons.

So far so good. I am on day 2 of using this product. I currently mix a half scoop of this with a half scoop of Amazing Grass Berry Flavor...don't let the name fool you, both of these products taste aweful...but what do you expect? This is a very fine green powder that smells kind of like fishy greens. The taste is pretty bad but I used to juice and was able to put back some bad looking and tasting things for the sake of health and this is no different. Yesterday when I arrived home late I immediately made my dinner. A half scoop or Raw Meal chocolate and a half scoop of Shakeology with a banana, almond milk, berries and sometimes even a yogurt. This time I mixed in a half scoop of this product and the one I mentioned above. It definitely changed the flavor a lot. It mixed OK in my blender but the flavor was definitely ruined. Tolerable, but bad. I rated this product an initial 4**** because I took my second serving this morning, half in my shake and half in a different veggie drink similar to nakid's version. I FEEL GREAT! I don't feel like I have a crazy amount of energy but I do feel like I have a bit more maybe. I did get a bit gassy today but it isn't a pungent type so I think what you eat will play a role in odor more than this stuff. It is made with pre and pro biotics people...it is supposed to make you more regular and part of that is that when you start you should expect to poop and fart more. A lot of people rate this 1* because of flavor. Let me ask you the last time you tasted a food that was delicious AND healthy? Now try to imagine what it would be like to actually eat all of the raw material that is pretty dried and ground for you... You will never get this much into you without juicing which is expensive to do at nearly $14 per meal if all organic at a store instead of farmers market. So far its working, I can overcome the flavor. I think that peanut butter may be able to mask it but I don't like peanut butter too much so I will try to find ideas. In the mean time I know it makes me feel a difference within 24 hours so I will open my mouth and drink fast until I can figure out how to mask it a bit better while staying healthy.

There's no denying that the ingredients themselves are good nutrition and will make for good health. Like others have posted, there is definitely an effect that can be felt not long after eating this supplement. Using a full scoop in a drink, it gives me a feeling of freshness, extra available energy (not like caffeine), a kind of brighter feeling. It doesn't seem to have any effect on bowel movements, but I already eat healthily and have done cleanses in the past, so if your diet/health is poor, you may experience a cleansing effect. Many have panned the taste, but I like it. I haven't yet tried it in water alone, so maybe that would not be very good. So far I've used it separately in one cup of orange juice (w/ and w/o cranberry juice concentrate), V8 Fusion (Strawberry Banana), and Amy & Brian Natural Coconut Juice with Pulp, 17.5 - Ounce Tins (Pack of 12) . It's merely acceptable tasting in the coconut water; but in the OJ and V8 fusion, I actually like the taste! The tomatoey taste does remind one of V8, and gives it a refreshing feel. It is not sweetened, so one shouldn't expect a dessert flavor. But in no way do I find it horrible tasting or unpalatable as others have. It tastes like blended vegetables, which is what it is. In OJ, it's actually fun to drink! The price is on the high side, but when one considers the cost of organic vegetables, it's not too outlandish. Compared to Garden of Life Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein, 622 Grams , this is much easier to drink (no chalky consistency or blandness). I'm definitely happy with the purchase!

Good product

Garden of Life Perfect Food Raw works as advertised. My reason for taking this product (best of several superfoods I've tried) is to conveniently get high vegetable, probiotic, and enzyme nutritional values I know would otherwise be impossible. It's organic, vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, increases your body's alkalinity and more-or-less doesn't need to be refrigerated. So, every morning I feel energized within minutes with no sugar-like or caffeine-type crash, and usually see an impressive green bowel movement within 24 hours (the long intestinal shape kind). Although I know I should exercise and change other eating habits too, with this product I'm in better shape physically and mentally than people half my age. Compared to Amazing Grass Superfood (which makes me sleepy), Perfect Food does have a bit more of a bitter veggie aftertaste but neither powder is "bad" to my taste -- especially when blended with frozen banana chunks, two tablespoons of unrefined coconut oil, sprinkle of nutmeg, cinnamon, few drops of vanilla extract and a spoonful of raw honey (down right yummy even for those who otherwise hate green foods). The texture is somewhat fluffy (not gritty). Avoiding ice limits premature melting. Don'y buy any product diluted with chocolate or added flavors you could just put in yourself. Dismiss any immature comments elsewhere over the taste -- you obviously have broad creative abilities to adjust as necessary. Our warped palate has been so over saturated with so-called "good tasting" crap for generations now, it's sad some people can't bear saving their precious health for a simple difference in gustatory election. For less than $1 per day (on sale), the worse that can happen is you might learn something that quite likely could change your life for the better. Here's a toast to Smart people - cheers!

I like that this greens powder has a good variety of organic greens and seems like a convenient way to add more nutrients to my daily routine. It mixes fairly well, but the taste is very strong and grassy, which makes it difficult for me to drink on its own. I usually have to mix it into a smoothie or juice to make it more enjoyable. Overall, the ingredients are good, but for the price and taste, I’m not sure I would purchase it again.

Okay I didn't expect it to taste good. I expected it to taste nasty actually. It didn't taste nasty, it just tasted rather bland. Mix it with the right fruits (strawberries help) and some almond or soy milk and it can be tasty. I definitely notice higher energy levels. I've been sick less and yet sleeping less (I'm in Grad school and working on a publication). Though I'm not an expert in nutritional suppliments this seems to be high quality. I would buy from this company again but perhaps vary the product just so as not to get tired of drinking it. I also think cycling any nutritional supplement probably helps prevent the whole "too much of a good thing" syndrome. For an organic supplement the price was very fair. I trust the brand too. Be a smart consumer. Make sure the products you consume don't harm the environment. While I'm not strictly a vegetarian I also think the world would be better off if people ate less meat. I'll eat meat so long as I know the animals are treated right but mass production factory farming is NOT cool. Animals are sentient beings and we should not be creating living hell for them. Okay, sorry for the preaching but I just want to make people think about how we are responsible for our actions, including what we consume.

Good taste with smoothies.

Ce n'est pas ce que j'attendais pour un tel prix de 72€. Limite l'arnaque...
