Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I grew up on a farm, so I really thought there couldn't possibly be an agricultural or organic smell/taste I wouldn't be able to handle. I purchased this particular powdered greens blend because it truly packs as many grasses, vegetables, and probiotics into one serving as possible, because I am trying to get more greens into my diet. Here's my overall review: *TASTE* HOLY MOTHER NATURE this stuff tastes terrible! Significantly worse than other powdered greens I've had in the past. That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I have never tasted anything stronger in my life. Like concentrated hay, but even that doesn't begin to describe it. And you can't hide it! Even a diminutive 2 tablespoon serving will burst through the taste of a protein shake. I resorted to mixing it in as little water as possible and chasing it with cranberry juice (pictured). Hold your nose, down the whole thing, and then keep your nose closed while you take a drink or two of juice to clear your mouth! I probably should also add that my husband (who gags while cleaning the litter box), doesn't have this same reaction, but even weeks later, I'm still having difficulty keeping it down every day, so I needed to mention it! (A little hint that might be TMI - should the smell cause a gag reflex, BE AS CLOSE TO A TOILET OR SINK AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. This stuff is just as green coming back up as it is going down, so your house will look like a scene from the Exorcist if you're not prepared!) *EFFECT* As for effect, I wasn't expecting to feel much different at all. I just know that consuming these extra greens and probiotics are good for me, even if I can't feel it. Others have suggested they noticed positive health effects from taking powdered greens, but I haven't noticed anything specific or strong. That being said, some did state they had a negative reaction, and I do recommend slowly getting yourself up to the full 2 tablespoon dose. Not just to give you time to get over the taste, but it does contain probiotics, which can be a shock to your gastrointestinal system if you don't take care. All in all, when we're out of our current container, we'll likely buy another!
