Organifi Green Juice Review: Benefits, Drawbacks, And Comparison

I first came across this supplement at a digital marketing conference three years ago when Drew Canole was one of the speakers. He gave an incredibly inspiring talk about his journey from YouTuber to a supplement company owner.

So, if you're considering buying a greens powder take a look at my personal Organifi green juice review and see if this product stands out amongst other powdered greens juices on the market.

What is Organifi Green Juice?

Organifi is very much a healthy lifestyle brand and its products focus on both the body and mind. They market their supplements as a means of achieving balance and harmony in life following the “Organifi Way”.

I like this company and the buzz they create with the content they deliver. That said, I do sometimes cringe with the overly touchy-feely approach they take, especially the founder.

There is no denying that Drew Canole is passionate about health and mental well-being and it’s great to see the owner of the business being out there and connecting with his audience.

The cornerstone of the business is the FitLife blog and Organifi online shop. Looking at the blog, however, there are no more recent articles than 3 months ago. It seems that the focus is more on the video channel.

What started out as Drew showing how to juice on YouTube has turned into an incredibly successful channel with over 500k subscribers.

What began as being passionate about juicing turned into a very profitable supplement company that has become a well-known brand with super green advocates.

Their flagship supplement is the Organifi Green Juice and they have now added Probiotics, Protein mixes, Turmeric, Organifi Gold (purporting to aid sleep), and Organifi Red Juice (reputed to be anti-aging and improves energy).

Organifi is a proud supporter of Vitamin Angels, a charity that helps children fight the risk of malnutrition. For every Organifi Red Juice sold, Organifi will pledge to help save a child’s life.

The company is very active through email and if you sign up for the newsletter from either the blog or store you receive regular emails about their products and how they claim to help you.

Organifi Green Juice Ingredients

Organifi's Green Juice comes in a 270g bottle that contains 30 servings with each scoop being 9g in size.

The bulk of the green juice blend ingredients are in two proprietary blends, an alkaline greens blend, and a superfood blend. These account for 6.55gms of the 9g serving.

The remaining ingredients are flavoring (organic lemon juice, monk fruit, mint, orange) and dietary fiber.

The use of proprietary blends means we don’t get to know the individual ingredient amounts within each blend. This is frustrating as we’re relying on Organifi to have put in sufficient quantities to be effective – and we know that supplements companies often don’t!

On the plus side all the ingredients are organic and so the supplement is USDA certified.

Here are the full green juice ingredients:

Alkaline greens proprietary blend (5.1g)

Super food proprietary blend (1.45g)

How Does Green Juice Drink taste?

If you have ever tried a green superfood powder before you already know that most of them taste awful, pretty much like you’re drinking grassy and chalky water.

This is the challenge with all super greens drinks, to make them palatable for consumption every day, without the lingering aftertaste. Feedback from customers tasting Organifi Green Juice has reported the mint taste to be refreshing and not too unpleasant at all.

Side Effects

As with any new supplement, if you’re not familiar with taking a greens powder then there is the chance of mild digestive complaints.

On the whole, it seems that Organifi is well tolerated and few consumers highlight any side effects.

Does Organifi Green Juice work?

If you have read any of the other reviews you can probably guess my answer here, right?

But if we assume (and it’s a big IF) that the ingredient amounts aren’t an issue, let’s focus on the health benefits of Organifi Green Juice.

Other than the usual green superfoods like Spirulina and Wheatgrass, there are some other goods and potentially potent ingredients in Organifi, I especially like Ashwagandha and Chlorella.

One of my favorite ingredients is Ashwagandha root as this reputedly helps the body to react better to stress and has an anxiety-calming effect. Such adaptogenic ingredients have been shown to be beneficial to immune function too, which is great news for me as for years my immune system has been suppressed.

According to Examine.com you should aim for a daily dose of 300-500mg of Ashwagandha to experience and really enjoy the benefits. Lower amounts may help in some cases though.

In terms of my other favorite Chlorella, this green freshwater algae has an incredibly good nutritional profile being a great source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber.

There are several types of Chlorella but the most commonly used one in supplements is Chlorella Vulgaris. This is the type used in Organifi Green Juice.

It’s important to note that in order for Chlorella to be effective at all the ‘cracked-cell wall’ variety should be considered above other varieties. This is because the cell wall can't be broken down by digestion and so none of the nutrients would be made available.

Organifi don’t indicate what type of Chlorella they use in their Alkaline blend.

According to the research, you should aim for between 2-3g per day of the cracked cell variety to get the most from this ingredient.

Organifi Green Juice Reviews

There are a fair number of reviews on the official website. At the time of writing this review, there were around 1,038 reviews with the majority giving a 4 or 5-star rating.

As it’s difficult to know if the Organifi reviews on their website are cherry-picked I always like to check out Amazon for potentially less biased feedback.

The higher price of the product on Amazon doesn’t seem to have put customers off as there are a whopping 1692 customers reviews there.

Over 60% of the Amazon customers were happy with the product, rating it 5 stars. As is to be expected, however, not everyone was happy with 12% giving it one out of five.

Here is some of the customer feedback. These are only a select few and I recommend checking out Amazon to read more.

I had an incredible energy boost after taking Organifi for about a week. Tasty and well worth the money. Highly recommended! Chris.

First off this product is incredibly expensive, but worth it. I mix it in water and love the minty taste. About a month ago, I started creating protein smoothies combining this with chocolate or vanilla plant-based protein powder. My energy levels are unbelievable. I used to get tired in the afternoon and evening, but not anymore. In addition, I can tell the difference in how clear my mind is. I highly recommend this product. Schenny.

VERY disappointed with this product. The taste is awful, I could barely choke it down. It tastes like mint-flavored swamp water, and unless you really love the taste of vegetables you are not going to like this. The product is also loaded with cheap cereal grass filler ingredients which I did not notice when I bought. I emailed customer support for a refund, and they are giving me the run-around and refusing to refund my money. Andrew.

One negative review is from an upset customer who had a bad reaction after not reading the label prior to use. It really stood out for various reasons.

I purchased this product after listening to several infomercials on it and thought it sounded like something that would be good for me. When the shipping box arrived there was nothing in it but the product itself. Having watched many videos on how to safely use the product, I assumed it was safe to use as are other supplements that come in powder form…. As a result, I not only did not refrigerate the product after opening the container but I did not consume it within 60 days either. As a result, I became violently ill on 2 separate occasions in March 2017 within an hour of consuming the powder. V. L. Simmons

You can buy Organifi Green Juice on Amazon.com.

Money Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

There is a 60-day money-back guarantee for all purchases through the official Organifi website. The conditions involve the company receiving ALL partial or empty bottles back within 60 days of the purchase date in order to qualify for the refund.

The return policy looks solid and as long as you follow the conditions you should be fine to get your money back should you not be satisfied with the product.

Where to Buy Organifi Green Juice?

You can purchase Organifi from a few places. The official website is the obvious choice and stocks the whole Organifi supplement range.

Buying a single bottle of Green Juice will set you back $69.99 (reduced from $79.99) with discounts available for buying more at the same time. You can save $59 when buying 3 bottles and a massive $169 if you buy 6 bottles.

You can also have your bottle automatically delivered every 30 days by choosing the ‘subscribe and save’ option to save 15% on your order – making one bottle $59.46 per month.

Organifi Green Juice is also available through Amazon although it is priced higher at $73 for a single bottle and $69 for the monthly subscribe and save option.

You may also find Organifi available in some high street stores, such as The Vitamin Shoppe.

Shop Organifi Greens

Is It Worth the Price?

Organifi Green Juice is at the higher end for super greens costing between $60 and $80 depending on where and how you purchase it.

Some Amazon customers have commented on the volume of the Organifi green powder in the tub – some pictures below.

It is much better value than other greens powders I have reviewed such as Green Detox, Patriot Power Greens and Enso Supergreens. Having fewer ingredients is fine as long as they are in high quantities.

Are you looking for the best Organifi supplement and not sure which one to take?

Green Juice Review Verdict

Organifi green drink contains very promising ingredients for an acceptable price that tastes not bad. The problem that I am encountering time and time again is the lack of ingredient transparency – we just don’t know how potent and therefore how effective Organifi could be!

The company has its founder Drew Canole as a passionate force behind Organifi and its supplements. But does Organifi stand out from the super greens crowd?

If you want a superfood top-up and you find some of the ingredients appealing then Organifi could be just the super greens for you.

This is one of the better super greens I have seen but at this price point for the number of ingredients, I would expect more from my superfood drink!

Some Call This An "Extreme" Step...

Most super greens supplements are disappointing.

I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.

I wasn’t happy with the results so I did something you might call "extreme"....

In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:

• No hidden ingredient amounts - we have full disclosure labelling, so you know EXACTLY whats inside
• Ingredient amounts that make a difference - we include the minimum effective amounts supported by research, and most of the time, MORE
• Ingredients that help immunity, boost mental clarity and shake off brain fog - making for a much more productive and happy lifestyle

No more worrying about ineffective ingredients or too low dosages. I finally have a product I KNOW does the job it’s made to do.

I use it every day and, after years of battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I now have my energy (and my life!) back.

The good news? I made my brand available to the public so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.

Read Review

I know I do, which is why I have spent the last few months exploring the popular super greens available and came across Country Farms Super Greens.

The company behind this brand knows a thing or two about supplements as they have been producing them for some time.

Boasting some fifty ingredients per serving Country Farms Super Greens claims to be the green mix solution to load up with your daily greens and other healthy ingredients in one go.

I am keen to see if this brand’s experience lends itself to solid super greens that deliver on the promise of a ‘powerhouse supplement’ claims to be America’s number one greens product.

What is Country Farms Super Greens?

If the name wasn’t enough (Country Farms immediately reminds me of a farm) the logo and background images all depict vegetables and the countryside.

If I am to be honest I am not a fan of the branding. It looks outdated and in my opinion, could do with a revamp, this goes for the website and tubs too!

In terms of the product, Country Farms Super Greens is a budget-friendly super greens supplement that’s available in a variety of flavors: natural, berry, chocolate, and apple banana.

Background on Country Farms Super Greens

The Country Farms brand is actually manufactured by Windmill Health Products Inc which was originally founded in 1950. According to Bloomberg is a subsidiary of VitaQuest International LLC.

Windmill Health Products have another supplement brand called Windmill Vitamins and, as you would expect from the name, they stock a full range of vitamins and minerals. This business seems to be aimed more at the wholesale and distributor market and not so much at the e-commerce channel.

The company did receive some negative press and an FDA warning letter in 2016 for inappropriate medical claims on the windmillvitamins.com website. This matter was addressed by the company and no further action was taken.

Country Farms Super Greens ingredients

The green drink mix is 100% organic and certified by USDA and has 50 organic ingredients, including superfoods and dairy-free probiotics.

Each scoop is 15g and is recommended to be taken with 8 fl. oz of cold water (or any beverage of your choice) once per day.

The nutritional breakdown varies a little according to the flavor in terms of total calories, fiber, and protein content. All flavors have a minimum of 4 grams of fiber.

Now onto the ingredients themselves. There is a wide range of superfoods in the mix, including many of the familiar super greens seen in similar products.

The organic superfood blend makes up 10g in total, however, the individual amounts are not disclosed as they form part of a proprietary blend. There is no sound reason for doing this and in my opinion, it means you really don’t know how much you’re taking of each ingredient.

I have discussed in more detail why I dislike proprietary blend in supplements.

Country Farms Super Greens are worse still, in that even the individual sub-blends within the blend do not reveal the ingredients. And so, we have absolutely no idea how much is really inside! I list the ingredients for each blend below.

Organic Greens Blend

Organic Fruits & Vegetables Blend

Organic Prebiotic & Fiber Blend

Probiotic Blend

I have written about the potential issues with combining Probiotics with greens supplements before.

Organic Mushroom Blend

How Does Country Farms Super Greens Taste?

There are four flavors available so the taste will depend very much on your chosen flavor.

Some customers have been quite outspoken on Amazon regarding the taste, one that stuck out was the description of it tasting “like a turtle tank” – really not sure how that would taste!

It seems the preference is very much towards the flavored Country Farms Super Greens in contrast to the Natural one. Personally, I can’t get my head around a Chocolate flavored super greens drink!

Side effects

There are unlikely to be side effects from taking Country Farms Super Greens.

My question would be about ingredient amounts and whether large amounts of any one ingredient could cause unpleasant reactions, especially considering a large number of ingredients per serving size.

Does Country Farms Super Greens work?

Maybe.

The fact that the product has been around for some time and has been used by thousands, if not tens of thousands of customers, means that some people clearly believe there are benefits.

If your diet is incredibly poor then taking Country Farms Super Greens could help supply vital nutrients missing from your diet.

In contrast, if you are already eating a reasonably well-balanced diet but looking for a supplement to really raise your game, then this is probably not the supplement for you.

Country Farms Super Greens customer Reviews

I am a fan of checking Amazon for genuine customer reviews for products. In the past, this could be manipulated by unscrupulous companies with fake reviews but these days Amazon is clamping down on this practice.

So, as with any brand on Amazon, it’s worth reading both 4/5 stars and 1/2 star reviews to get a good mix of feedback.

Overall Country Farms Super Greens has an Amazon rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars, which is pretty good. Over 78% of customers rated this supplement 4 or 5 stars with 17% a poor 1 or 2 stars.

I have selected a few reviews below:

I absolutely love this stuff! I drink an 8 oz glass of OJ with the greens and berry powder Country Farms offers every morning. It mixes well (I just use a mason jar with a lid to shake it together), doesn't have an overpowering taste and I feel fantastic after drinking it. Stacy

The scoop for this container is huge, and if you try to mix one scoop with 8 ounces of water, no amount of blending, shaking or stirring is going to dissolve that much solid in such a small amount of water. Mix one scoop with a half-gallon of liquid and you will have a chance of getting this dissolved. Once dissolved at an appropriate mixture, it has a decent taste and does not taste like you tried to mix 4 ounces of sand in 8 ounces of water. Jason

Of course, couldn’t leave out the “turtle tank” feedback:

This stuff tastes like a turtle tank. Literally. Apparently, this is a total rip off since the majority of this is wheat powder—- it’s powdered bread essentially with a little bit of “greens”. Total waste! Whoops. Alex

Money Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

I went through the official site and the Amazon store for details of a return policy or money-back guarantee, but I couldn’t find one!

Considering that most companies wish to highlight their money-back guarantee it’s safe to say one probably does not exist.

The reason is that you can’t purchase via the official site. This product is retailed via distributors and not directly through their own website. Therefore the refund policy will vary according to the retailer you have purchased from.

Where to Buy Country Farms Super Greens?

The Country Farms official website display their Super Greens and a complete range of other supplements in this brand, but you cannot buy them from the site!

There is a store locator that shows where you can find Country Farm supplements in other retailers, such as Walmart, Kroger, CVS/pharmacy, Kmart, Macey’s, etc.

The easiest place to get hold of Country Farms Super Greens is through Amazon.com, especially if you’re a Prime member.

On Amazon, prices range from $16 to $20 for one 10.6oz tub, with some sellers bundling 2-3 tubs in one.

Is it worth the price?

To judge if Country Farms Super Greens are worth the price tag I should point out that each tub only has 20 servings inside. So, even with taking a serving once per day, you’re not getting a full month’s supply.

It’s important to factor in the daily serving recommendation and the number of servings in a tub, this is where I feel Country Farms Super Greens falls short. To get your month’s supply you will need to stock up on a few tubs, so you need to consider this when evaluating your monthly costs.

The single tub price of $16-$20 will , in fact, end up costing you double the price ($32-$40 per month), which to be fair is still pretty good for a Super Greens supplement.

The bottom line

Country Farms Super Greens are clearly a popular seller in the USA, stocked in most shopping malls and Amazon. However, this feels a little dated and fails to give me the confidence that I would be using an up-to-date supplement, containing only the best ingredients inside.

That said, there are things I do like about Country Farms Super Greens. It’s organic and the price is good. Costing a fraction of many super greens supplements, it’s certainly worth checking out. However, I do have concerns about how effective it would be.

The big downside for me is the lack of ingredients transparency, we simply don’t know how much of each ingredient is inside.

Cramming so many ingredients into a single serving means quantity no doubt suffers. It’s unlikely sufficient amounts will be available for all the ingredients in the blend.

I would much prefer to opt for a supplement with fewer ingredients and have the confidence it is the real deal – quality over quantity.

This Super Greens from Country Farms is simply not for me.

Read Review

As with all powdered greens supplements, this is easy to take by simply mixing with water and could be the answer to getting your micronutrients more easily.

Nested Naturals was started when the owners were shocked at the state of the supplement industry and the lack of transparency and accountability. Something I can certainly relate to!

Their answer was to create a health supplement company that tackled the ‘wild west’ approach and provide top-quality ingredients with third-party testing. Sounds great, but did they achieve this with their Super Greens health supplement?

Continuing the theme of finding a powdered greens supplement that ticks all my boxes (check out what I look for in super greens), I give Nested Natural Super Greens the once-over.

What is Nested Naturals Super Greens?

Nested Natural is a brand that exudes trust and transparency, with a clear focus on educating and guiding customers toward leading a healthy, nutritionally-sound lifestyle.

They take an ethical approach to promoting health products and go to great lengths to outline the benefits without the associated hyperbole often seen in the health industry. At the end of the day, supplements are supposed to be taken in addition to your diet, which ideally should contain a healthy balance of fresh nutrients.

Everything about the company and product adheres to their socially-conscious branding. After a few minutes looking at the brand in more detail I had a few concerns and looked to address them further in my full review of Nested Naturals Super Greens.

Nested Naturals Background

The company Nested Naturals Inc is based in Vancouver, Canada, and has been in business since 2014. They are proud of the fact they have a good standing with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), but I am not really sure how much this really means. It would appear no one has really complained about the company and they most likely pay BBB an annual membership.

The founders of the company, Kevin and Jeremy, started the business to provide transparent and honest supplements to the market. They achieve this using top quality, globally-sourced ingredients and by third-party testing all their supplements.

It’s great to see supplement companies giving back, and so I really like the fact Nested Naturals support Vitamin Angels. If you don’t know about them, they are a charity that helps mothers and their children in 74 countries around the world to achieve proper nutrition.

Nested Naturals Super Greens Ingredients

It’s really great to see that all the ingredients in Nested Natural Super Greens are 100% organic, non-GMO, and vegan.

Each tub contains 30 servings with each scoop of 8g containing what I counted to be 32 ingredients.

A lot of the usual super green ingredients are there, such as Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley, and Wheatgrass. Also present are probiotics such as Lactobacillus gasseri, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum. There are digestive enzymes in the mix too; Amylase (NLT 1608U), Protease (NLT 402U), Lactase (NLT 268U), Lipase (NLT 67U), and Cellulase.

Regarding probiotics, there are 1.67 billion CFUs probiotics in each serving. This sounds great but the effectiveness of probiotics in super greens is called into question. The fact is probiotics are incredibly sensitive to how they are prepared.

And so, if not sourced and prepared correctly they may not work. The science of probiotics is not solid either.

The more concerning issue, for me, is the use of proprietary blends for the ingredients used to split into five blends; Alkalizing blend (3847mg), Fibre blend (2700mg), Antioxidant blend (1053mg), Probiotic blend (333mg), and Enzyme Blend (67mg).

The tub does highlight two of the ingredient amounts, Spirulina 667mg and Chlorella 400mg, which we can only assume is the per-serving quantity.

To my follow-up email highlighting that this doesn’t actually show the breakdown of each ingredient in the blend, I received the reply “I will look into this again”.

To be fair to the support team they respond very quickly; after a few hours at most. But this is all too familiar with supplements, especially super greens, it would seem.

The standard seems to be a blend – even with companies that promote ‘transparency’.

How Does Nested Naturals Super Greens Taste?

I have yet to try the taste myself but I do know that some people find the flavor fairly strong and slightly unpleasant. This is supported by many of the comments from Amazon customers.

This is fairly common with super greens supplements as the core ingredients do have that grassy and sometimes chalky taste.

If that’s the case you can easily mix with a smoothie or add something to make the taste more palatable. Just be aware that loading with sweet-tasting ingredients will increase the calorific content, in case you’re using this supplement as part of a calorie-controlled diet.

Side Effects

Seasoned super green veterans should be fine with this supplement and unlikely experience unpleasant side effects.

If you’re new to super greens then there is the chance of experiencing a mild stomach upset. This could be due to the probiotics and/or enzymes in the blend. Symptoms should only be temporary and reduced within a day or two, a week at most.

Does Nested Naturals Super Greens Work?

The effectiveness of any supplement should be simple to determine as it is dependent on two things; the type of ingredient and the amounts.

If we consider the ‘alkalizing blend’ for a minute, this contains 10 ingredients making a total of 3,847mg for the blend. As outlined by the FDA, the ingredients have to be listed in the order of their highest quantity, so Barley grass makes up the most of this blend.

The fourth ingredient in this blend is Spirulina, and as we know by now, we need between 1-8g per day to have any discernible effect according to data gathered by Examine.

Are you confident you’re getting this dose in each serving? I am not.

The same can be said for Barley grass, with research showing you need between 1-15g per day for effects to be seen. So, provided Nested Naturals Super Greens contains a minimum of 1g of Spirulina and Barley grass, you have 1,847mg left over for the remaining 8 ingredients!

Nested Naturals Super Greens Customer Reviews

As you would expect the official website has positive feedback and so these should be taken with a little pinch of salt. After all, there are only three of them on the official site!

By contrast, their Amazon store has hundreds of positive comments – at the time of writing a whopping 2,229 reviews – of which 71% are 5 stars.

Most of the complaints concerned the taste, even from customers who rated the product 4 or 5 stars.

Here is a random(ish) selection of customer testimonials:

I have used this product for the last 3 months and I have noticed a marked improvement in my digestion. I would give this product 5 stars if not for the taste. Do keep in mind there aren't any sweeteners added so I honestly can't expect much but if I were to describe the taste when added to water it would be like pond water, it is not pleasant and I have to chase it with my coffee in the mornings. Coleycole99

I usually drink greens first but wanted to give this one a chance after reading reviews. I am used to just mixing my green drink with some water and downing it and am not too sensitive to the taste but this one taste like grass and dirt was ground up into a powder. This one is really hard to drink. Samantha

I did discover a review from a concerned and unhappy repeat customer who discovered the green powder has changed.

I just opened a new tub and it’s horrible. Not the same color or consistency. I tried it and it doesn’t have the right flavor and it’s also almost sandy in my teeth 🤢 I added a comparison pic with a good one (left is good, right isn’t)…

Money Back Guarantee / Return Policy

Purchasing from the official website means you get the 100% lifetime guarantee.

This means whether it’s the next day or next year you can get in touch with their support team to arrange to send back your order and receive a full refund.

This is probably the best money-back guarantee out there.

You simply can’t ask for more than this from a supplement company, in fact from any company!

Where to Buy Nested Naturals Super Greens?

The official Nested Naturals website stocks a wide range of supplements: those to aid sleep, digestion, pain relief, immune support, brain health, women’s care, mom and baby health, and of course their Super Greens.

There is free USA delivery for orders over $25 (USD) but considering the Super Greens product is over this amount you’ll always get free delivery for it. International orders will incur a shipping fee which depends on the country you’re sending to.

The other option is to purchase directly from Amazon.com, which you may prefer if you’re a Prime member.

Is It Worth It?

Prices for all of Nested Naturals supplements are very reasonable with prices ranging from $10 to $30 per bottle.

For an everyday supplement to top up your daily greens intake then their Super Greens is good value and better than others costing twice as much!

The question mark on ingredient amounts is, however, a concern. It would be ideal to know if you’re getting enough of each ingredient to truly make a difference. If you’re already eating a healthy balanced diet then this shouldn’t be too much of a worry as you will most likely be getting most of your micronutrients from your diet.

The Bottom Line

There is a lot to like about Nested Naturals Super Greens. The lifetime guarantee and the cheap price make this an incredibly affordable supplement for anyone on a budget who is looking to get their daily greens.

I can’t help but admire the overall feeling of this company project.

But if you’re looking for a greens supplement that packs a punch then in my opinion this product falls short because the ingredient amounts are unlikely to be insufficient amounts to be noticeably effective.

You can counteract this by taking a couple of servings each day but this would be against the recommended serving suggestion by Nested Naturals.

For me, this Super Greens didn’t quite live up to its claims to be a ‘heroic blend of organic superfoods’ which is a shame as I really like the company behind it. With stiff competition and small amounts of each ingredient in the green powders, this brand didn’t quite make the mark.

Have you tried Nested Naturals Super Greens before and liked it? Or maybe you really disliked it? Let me know in the comments below. It would be great to hear how people get on with this supplement.

Read Review

There is a less-is-more approach taken by this brand with no extensive ingredient list as is seen in most other super greens drinks. Instead, the focus is on several key ingredients known to have real health benefits.

There is a lot to like about Yuri Energy Greens but unfortunately, there are also some drawbacks that are too big to ignore.

Let’s delve into the detail of this Energy Greens superfood supplement and give it the full LifeHacker Guy review.

What is Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens?

It’s hard not to be impressed with Yuri Elkaim and his green supplement.

All too often with supplement companies, you know nothing about the owners and why they create the business, but in this case, instead of a faceless corporation, you get to know about the founder of Energy Greens, Yuri Elkaim.

Yuri’s background is fascinating and worth spending a few minutes reading – check out his ‘about’ page “from Soccer to Bed to No Hair On My Head (My Unusual Journey)”.

His health struggles form a major part of the background for his interest in nutrition and developing Energy Greens. I can relate to this as I have struggled – and still do – with poor health since my late teens from doing too much exercise training for triathlons.

I should briefly add that I shave my head and it’s not related to any health condition like Yuri!

Background on Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens

Yuri Energy Greens through the years

Yuri Energy Greens supplement has changed a little since first being released. Although the core ingredients have remained the container has been improved and looks a lot better.

Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens Ingredients

In stark contrast to most Green powders, Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens only contains 8 ingredients in its superfood blend. There is no supplementing with extra products to make this brand seem better value for the money.

Some of the recommended daily dosages have been outlined, others were less clear how much per day is recommended.

For more in-depth information about popular super green ingredients check out my article.

Each serving of Yuri Energy Greens is 7.8g which is a little less than some of the other popular greens on the market (such as this or this one etc). Considering there are much fewer ingredients in this brand then this smaller portion is probably not an issue of ingredient amounts.

The ingredient profile is a proprietary blend and the ingredient amounts of each one of the 8 ingredients are not disclosed.

So, whilst it’s great to know the ingredients have been carefully selected and are 100% organic, it would be good to know how much is inside.

This is my ONLY issue with Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens, unfortunately, though it’s a fairly major one!

Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens is 100% USDA certified organic. Having only 8 ingredients means it is much easier to achieve this status.

How Does Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens Taste?

I have yet to taste Energy Greens but according to Yuri, who tested it out on his three sons, it tastes amazing. Yuri spent a lot of time in his own kitchen getting the taste right and so (according to him) it is unlike most other green powder drinks on the market.

In fact, he backs this up with an amazing “taste it and love it” money-back guarantee.

You can mix it with 250ml (8oz) of water or add it to your favorite green smoothie.

Side Effects

Apart from consulting your physician if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any medications, there is no mention of side effects.

A few of the ingredients may not be suitable for everyone though.

Does Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens Work?

According to Yuri his Energy Greens supplement:

TOP 8 most nutrient-dense superfoods in the world made the cut – and every single one of the superfoods comes in significant amounts that have been shown to help enhance health… protect against disease… and provide natural energy and well-being. Yuri Elkaim.

Everything about this greens powder screams ‘this is going to work’. The product isn’t over-marketed and is not gimmicky (I am thinking chocolate greens drink here!), but there is one niggling doubt in my mind.

The use of a proprietary blend and the lack of a fully transparent (measured) ingredient label.

Whilst the claim is that each ingredient is provided in “significant amounts” we don’t know for sure and have to completely rely on Yuri for this.

I would much prefer seeing the FULL ingredient list on the label for complete peace of mind.

So do I think Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens can work?

On balance, I would most likely think yes, but I have no evidence to support this other than a gut feeling. If that’s enough then this could be the Greens Supplement for you.

Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens Customer Reviews

The official site has a number of testimonials, most of which are videos. This is great as it's much more likely they are genuine (though of course not completely guaranteed).

It would be good to see reviews on third party sites too, but I was unable to find any.

Examples of what customers had to say about Energy Greens:

By far the best tasting greens on the market! Keith Yackey, Nevada, USA

Yuri’s Energy Greens helped me cut out coffee, and get rid of my chronic fatigue!
Lisa, Louisiana, USA

If you’re looking for the best Organic Greens powder on the market then look no further than Yuri’s Energy Greens!
Ann, Ontario, Canada

A quick point to highlight is there aren’t any dates on the reviews either, not that this a big deal, but we don’t know how recent they are.

Money Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

Yuri Elkhaim has one of the best money-back guarantees I have seen in a Super Greens product – a full one-year money-back guarantee!

This is VERY impressive and clearly Yuri stands behind his product 100%.

Where to Buy Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens?

I could only find Yuri Energy Greens supplement through the official website and not through his Amazon store where he sells his books (All-Day Energy Diet and All-Day Fat Burning Diet).

There are a few websites that look to be owned and operated by Yuri and his team. These all point back to the official e-commerce site where you can make your desired purchase.

A real plus is the fact that there is international shipping to what looks like most countries on the planet!

Is It Worth the Price?

Yuri’s Super greens supplement is on the premium side with prices of $65 – $80 for a single jar. There are discounts available for buying multiple jars at a time, for example, buy 3 jars and you will receive a 13% discount and for 6 jars you get a 25% discount plus a free cookbook.

You can also have your 1, 3, or 6 jars automatically sent to you every 30 days. I can’t imagine why anyone would be ordering 6 jars every month!

Every order receives a free color guide with 21 green smoothie recipes.

Considering that there are only 8 ingredients in this greens powder, I do think it’s a little overpriced, especially as we cant be sure of the ingredient amounts.

The recommended dosage is to take 2-3 servings per day. To be fair there are 45 servings in each jar, but if you do decide to take 3 servings per day one jar will ONLY LAST 15 days!

Would you be keen on paying $120USD+ per month for one month’s supply? I don’t think I would.

Essentially you’re paying for the smaller batch runs and claims of better ingredient sourcing.

The Bottom Line

I will say it again, I can’t help but be impressed with Yuri’s Energy Greens supplement. The guy comes across as very genuine and his story gives you a real sense of confidence in his product.

I really like the fact this supplement takes a less-is-more approach to ingredients.

That said, I am disappointed that there is no ingredient label transparency. Considering how easy this is to do, I find it incredibly frustrating that more supplement companies do this!

For me, this is one of my favorite Super Greens brands but the lack of full ingredient transparency lets it down. Paying what could be over $100 per month for the “best results” is a little steep too.

My journey to find the ultimate Super Greens supplement to take continues.

Some Call This An "Extreme" Step...

Most super greens supplements are disappointing.

I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.

I wasn’t happy with the results so I did something you might call "extreme"....

In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:

• No hidden ingredient amounts - we have full disclosure labelling, so you know EXACTLY whats inside
• Ingredient amounts that make a difference - we include the minimum effective amounts supported by research, and most of the time, MORE
• Ingredients that help immunity, boost mental clarity and shake off brain fog - making for a much more productive and happy lifestyle

No more worrying about ineffective ingredients or too low dosages. I finally have a product I KNOW does the job it’s made to do.

I use it every day and, after years of battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I now have my energy (and my life!) back.

The good news? I made my brand available to the public so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.

Read Review

A number of websites recommend this Super Greens supplement, I was a little skeptical but wanted to check it out before considering buying Texas SuperFood for myself.

I have tried many Super Greens so far, but for full transparency, I should be clear that I haven’t personally tried the Texas SuperFood supplement.

So, here is my quick Texas SuperFood review so far, and based on this will decide if I should take the plunge and try it out.

What is Texas SuperFood?

There are also three variations of Texas SuperFood; essentials, original and complete. All are available in capsule form with the Original and Complete versions also available in powder form.

With greens products, I prefer the non-capsule form as you always get far more ingredients in each serving (check out why I don't like Super Green capsules here).

The complete version also comes with a separate tub of digestive enzymes and is 100% USDA organic certified.

Background on Texas Superfood

Texas SuperFood is manufactured by NPN Global Inc based in Utah in the USA and has been running since 2000. I couldn’t really find much information on the company itself although checking out the registered address for Texas SuperFood showed a large serviced office address in Utah.

The company manufactures a number of nutritional supplements from Superfoods to probiotics, brain, and joint support. The Texas SuperFood range is available in either capsule or powder options, with the standard and more expensive “complete” version.

Their social media presence is looking a little sparse in recent months.

It seems that they don’t update this very often with Facebook showing the latest posts back in August 2018, and Twitter a lack of activity since July 2018. This got me wondering, is the brand not too popular now?

The owner of Texas Superfood is Dr. Dennis Black. A quick search online and I came across an FDA warning in 2015 where he was issued a warning letter for making “unapproved new drug” claims for some of the supplements in his company.

Basically, he was promoting their health supplements as drugs or cures.

Texas SuperFood Ingredients

There are 55 ingredients in the Texas SuperFood Complete supplement but we could only find 24 listed on the supplements fact label (see label below).

On the Texas SuperFood Original label, ALL the ingredients are actually listed but all within a proprietary blend.

On the official website, there is an “ingredients directory” where I counted over 60 ingredients listed with their benefits. There is a “products that contain” this ingredient section that highlights in which product this ingredient is included. Not the easiest way to identify the ingredients within a product though, as it makes more sense the have the complete list of the “supplement facts” section on the product!

The serving amount will vary depending on whether you go for Texas SuperFood powder or capsule versions. The powder version has a serving size of 6g and the capsule one you take 6 capsules (so around 3.6g per day).

The non-capsule version will of course provide more ingredient amounts, but it’s still likely to be under the required amounts.

The Original version contains a lot of organic nutrients (vegetables and fruits) although the product isn’t USDA-certified organic. This means that overall less than 95% of the ingredients are organic in the Texas SuperFood Original version.

Guess what, that’s because it’s another proprietary blend. Although this time there is no pseudo-scientific named blend, the ingredients are simply listed out.

The Texas SuperFood Complete range is USDA-certified organic though.

On the plus side, both versions of the product are gluten, dairy, and soy-free. The capsule version of the supplement also contains vegetarian-friendly capsules.

How does Texas SuperFood Taste?

Having not personally tasted this supplement I cannot tell you for sure. Instead, though I took to the internet to check out what other people have said.

The official website highlights that the Texas SuperFood Original has a “green veggie” taste whereas the Complete version is “sweet!”.

Side Effects

No reported side effects from me as I haven’t tried this product yet.

A few customers have reported minor side effects such as; Upset stomach, Bloating, Gas, Headache, Nausea, Diarrhea, and Changes in bowel movements. Most customers seem to cope with it fine though.

Does Texas SuperFood work?

Possibly but unlikely, it’s very difficult to know for sure.

The main reason I say this is the ingredient amounts are not given and so it’s very uncertain how much you’re really getting in each serving.

The serving size is small too, with each scoop only providing 6g of nutrients. With so many ingredients provided, there are likely to be tiny amounts available, which will not be enough to do much.

Cramming so many ingredients into a tiny serving means there will no doubt be a compromise in ingredient quantity. And with scarce details on the ingredients full stop, there is a question over the ingredient quality too!

Texas SuperFood Customer Reviews

There are a number of “verified” Texas SuperFood reviews on the official website, of course, these are all positive showing 4 or 5 stars out of 5.

Amazon showed over 200 customer reviews with 30% of the reviews showing a 3 star or lower rating. There was still 70% of the reviews with a 4 or 5 start though, this is encouraging!

The negative feedback was mostly about not feeling like anything had changed.

Garbage didn’t do a thing. Didn’t notice anything. Joseph

I did find one very unhappy customer, who not only didn’t get on with the product itself but was less than impressed with the customer service and refund policy:

I had a horrible reaction to this product. I felt like I had the flu (intestinally) even though I took it with food. I realized it was the TX Superfood when I didn't take it one day & started to feel better. I went back to it again & all the symptoms came roaring back. I contacted the company for a refund & they told me to try taking less & building up to the full dosage. As bad as I felt, I had no interest to try it again. As others have stated, the company is not forthcoming with refunds so their “Satisfaction Guarantee” is not true. I'd give it zero stars but that's not an option. A very expensive non-refundable mistake. Health Foodee

In contrast, though, there are many positive reviews for Texas SuperFood:

works very well, I am sleeping great and I was not, have more energy and not napping during the day, also curbs appetite, will buy again and continue to take it. Joan.

Used a similar product (NPN Super Foods) and was happy with the uptick in energy levels. This one I think gives me a bit more energy but is also much more expensive. I do think it is a good product. Alejandro

Money Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

Every order has a 30-day money-back guarantee that starts from the date of first purchase. To qualify you need to return the used or unused bottle back to the company to receive a refund minus shipping costs.

They provide chat support (offline when I tried), email, and telephone support options.

Where To Buy Texas SuperFood?

You can purchase all the Texas SuperFood brands directly on the official website.

There are no international shipping options though and appears you can ONLY order if you’re based in the USA. This is fairly common amongst many USA-based supplement companies.

Some of the brands sold by Texas SuperFood do appear on Amazon.com but there doesn’t appear to be a store that is actively managed.

Is It Worth The Price?

Each tub of Texas SuperFood powder or capsule costs $63 USD, buying three tubs at once means you can save $8 per tub. There is a monthly subscription option where you can save 8% with free shipping.

The Texas SuperFood Complete range of powder or capsules costs more and is $79.95 for a single tub or $69.95 when purchasing three tubs at once. You can save $8.65 and have free shipping if you go for the monthly subscription option.

At first glance, it may seem worthwhile considering you get 55 ingredients per Texas SuperFood serving. My issue though, is that I am not confident ingredient amounts match anywhere near enough to have a noticeable effect, it could mean that I am wasting my money.

Lastly, on a per-gram cost price this is one of the most expensive Green powder supplements on the market.

So, for me at this price point it would be better considering my superfood supplement or alternatively Green Vibrance.

The Bottom Line

So, am I now tempted to invest in buying Texas SuperFood?

On the surface, Texas SuperFood Super Greens looks okay but when you delve into the details it's over-priced and will likely under-deliver too.

I am not impressed!

The official website looks great and looks the part, but I have concerns over the ingredient amounts and the lack of social media in the last 6-7 months (have they given up on the brand?).

This supplement isn’t cheap and with so much competition out there Texas SuperFood in my opinion doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Ultimately, giving Texas SuperFood a try means spending $70 USD plus (including shipping) for a product that will unlikely have much, if any benefit for me.

Readers of my blog will know that I really dislike this practice of hiding the ingredient amounts. I am much more likely to try alternative brands like SuperGreen Tonik (my brand).

There are just too many uncertainties with Texas SuperFood for me. I decided against buying and will be looking at other brands that deliver better Super Greens for better value.

Read Review

That said, when researching best greens powders, I often saw this brand and so had to check it out.

I tried to buy Patriot Power Greens via the official website but it’s only available in the US and Canada. So, I had to get a friend to order for me and have it sent over to Malaysia where I live to give this product a try.

After taking for 5 days I wanted to write my Patriot Power Greens review and give my insight into this product and why it definitely doesn’t make my top greens health supplement!

I tried over 40 brands: For the best greens powders go to this page!)

What are Patriot Power Greens?

When first taking a look at Patriot Power Greens I saw a lot of big claims made by the manufacturer, Patriot Health Alliance.

The strong claims suggest you can turn back many age-related health issues and get back to your youth (and even feel half your age!), without the need for harmful prescription medication.

Statements such as unlimited stamina, relief from joint pain, less gas and bloating, and healthier heart and blood pressure. Whilst this isn’t common amongst supplements, especially some Super Greens, claims of turning back your clock and feeling in your 20’s again is surely overstated!

Apart from anecdotal evidence, there doesn't appear to be any science to support these claims.

You can buy Patriot Power Greens in two sizes, one in a single 160g size canister and the “double sized” canister. Interestingly the double-sized Power Greens version still says 30 servings, which each serving size at 5g.

I presume this is so you can either share with your partner or you take double the daily dose.

Background on Patriot Health Alliance

Patriot Power Greens are manufactured by Patriot Health Alliance who are based in Texas, USA. Their brands are mostly aimed at senior citizens in the US and although they are most famous for their Power Greens supplement, Patriot Health Alliance also produces a fair number of other health and nutritional brands.

Patriot Power Reds, Patriot Power Proteins, Patriot Vital4, Patriot Renewal, American DreamZzz, Patriot Ultra-Biotics, and Sinus Complete.

The company is very patriotic (as the name suggests) and they support the US Armed forces by making donations from every 3 or 5 canister orders placed. I couldn’t see anywhere how much they donate or how much so far has been donated though.

Patriot Power Greens Ingredients

Each scoop of Patriot Power Greens contains forty fruits and vegetables, which include probiotics and digestive enzymes too. I noticed that the scoop size is on the small size, with each scoop only being 5g!

The next thing I noticed when checking over the ingredients – Proprietary blend, proprietary blend, proprietary blend!

To be honest, now I am not that surprised seeing this as most of the Super Greens I have researched use blends. I really dislike this practice though and I outline why I hate the use of proprietary blends. You can check out the post I have linked to for me, but in short, using proprietary blends means you don’t know for sure how much of each ingredient is available.

When Patriot Power Greens contains forty ingredients and the serving size is so small, it’s simply not believable that there are enough ingredients to provide the benefits claimed!

There is a big deal made about the probiotics contained in Patriot Power Greens, but no information on the amount contained in each serving. This again makes it impossible to compare against other Green powder brands, such as Green Vibrance and Green TONIK supplement, who outlined all their ingredients.

How does Patriot Power Greens Taste?

When mixing power greens with water as recommended I found it mixed fairly well. The taste is okay actually and has a berry flavor that is a little sweet.

It’s not as sweet as Athletic Greens though for comparison.

Patriot Power Greens Side Effects

The good news is that I didn’t experience any negative side effects when taking Patriot Power Greens.

I found a few customer reviews complaining of stomach cramps and diarrhea, but I had no digestive issues at all.

Does Patriot Power Greens work?

Yes and no. I believe that Power Greens is unlikely to give the benefits outlined in the companies claims.

In the ingredients section above, I outlined my concern that the serving size was tiny at only 5g. Delving into the nutritional facts and it’s clear the amounts are certainly too small to have much, if any, benefit at all!

A good example is with the Spirulina content, as the “Greens and Sea vegetables” blend is only 1,067mg in size. According to Examine.com, you need a minimum of 1-8g per serving of Spirulina to experience any benefit from this ingredient.

Clearly, there won’t be enough of this ingredient in each tiny scoop of Patriot Power Greens, and almost certainly not for many of the other ingredients too!

On the positive side though, there is a good range of ingredients that could act as a nutritional top up. This could be helpful if you’re finding your diet often poor at many times.

Having said that, this is an expensive way to “top up” your diet though, especially when it’s not clear how much of each ingredient you’re actually getting!

I am simply struggling to find how Patriot Power Greens can substantiate the claims of reducing fatigue and inflammation from the ingredient amounts in their formula – you simply need more to improve or in some cases prevent these conditions.

So, I am not too convinced.

Patriot Power Greens Customer Reviews

Checking out online reviews for Patriot Power Greens it’s clear that the feedback is very mixed.

Some customers are sold on the benefits of this supplement whilst a number feel no difference and complain about the poor (or non-existent) customer support!

This by far is the best tasting green's formula ever. (Believe me, I've tried them all!) No grassy earthy taste like most. I think that for the price it's the best out there. Richard.

My husband and I love this product. I'm 50 and he is 52 and we have been drinking it daily for 6 months. We both experience higher energy, and faster hair and nail growth. Teresa.

DO NOT ORDER. The only reason I gave it one star was because I couldn't proceed without a rating. They don't deserve any stars. Customer service is non-existent. Tried calling 10 times, each time placed on hold then call is dropped. E-mailed 7 times, no response until I threatened with an attorney. Hali M.

Junk product – terrible taste, no noticeable benefits. And don't even think about trying to talk to their customer service about their alleged guarantee — nobody answers the phone, no email, no nothing. Maureen.

Of course, please bear in mind these are just a few reviews, I have tried to keep a fair balance in selecting a few of the Patriot Power Green customer reviews.

Money Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

There is an impressive “lifetime 100% money-back guarantee” on every order of Patriot Power Greens. With many supplements, their return policies include tricky clauses it’s really great to see what seems to be a no-nonsense guarantee.

So, you can give Power Greens a try and if not happy can contact Patriot Alliance for their returns address. Once they have received the order back, they will refund 100% of your money minus any applicable shipping fees.

Where To Buy Patriot Power Greens?

It seems that you can only really buy Patriot Power Greens directly from the manufacturer via a somewhat long (and I mean very long) web page.

Searching on Amazon.com and online in general I only came across simple affiliate sites promoting the product. Interestingly when clicking on these I often came to a blank page, or web page displaying an error.

This is most likely due to the product ONLY being available in the US and at the time was at home in Malaysia! As I mentioned at the start of this review, I had to order this via a friend and have them post to me in order to give it a try.

Is It Worth The Price?

As far as Super Greens go, Patriot Power Greens is very reasonably priced. I would even go as far as saying that opting for the special five canister deal is a bargain.

There are three packages available, with one canister costing $49.95 with $8.95 shipping, three canisters $149 with free shipping, and the biggest package of five canisters for $149 (actually a special buy 3 and get 2 free).

At first glance, it seems that Power Greens is well worth the price tag. This is the case if you’re just comparing price but it’s really about the ingredients and amounts, and it’s this that makes me question if this supplement is actually good value.

The company tries to sweeten the deal even further by giving away five “free” gifts with your order. These include a shaker bottle, a few nutritional PDF guides, free shipping, and donation of Patriot Power Greens to active duty military men and women.

The Bottom Line

If you’re a senior citizen based in the US and on a tighter budget, I can see the appeal of Patriot Power Greens. In my opinion, though it’s a sub-par product that just doesn’t live up to the claims made.

The fact is it’s unlikely to contribute much to your diet and overall health. At best it could be a palatable replacement drink instead of a calorie-laden frothy coffee.

It’s not easy to buy either if you’re not in the US/Canada, and definitely not worth going through the hassle of getting forwarded to you like I had to do. There are other Greens Supplements around that ship globally, so why bother?

Even with the relatively low cost, it was never going to be viable for me to take Patriot Power Greens regularly, and the shortfall in ingredients and amounts was a no-no. I demand more from my Super Greens, and so should you!

So, as is most likely obvious by now, I will skip this product and look for a better-suited greens brand that ticks all my boxes.

Read Review

You’ll know exactly what you’re putting in your body and how much of it.

This gives Green Vibrance a certain amount of credibility in my book, as does the fact that it has been available since 1992. (To stay in business this long means you must be doing something right, eh?)

This vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO supplement is available in both powder and capsule form – a rare occurrence. If you are someone that likes to drink a supplement mixed with water or your morning smoothie, the Green Vibrance powder is perfect for you.

I was excited to give this popular powdered greens supplement a try, so here is my Green Vibrance review after daily use for 14 days.

What is Green Vibrance?

This Super Green powder is plant-based and is designed to aid in nutrition, digestion, circulation, and finally immunity. It is a product that will help in each area of your body and overall health. Green Vibrance benefits people of all ages. It is even safe for pregnant and lactating women.

Green Vibrance claims to assist users in “seizing the day.” It will help you achieve your health goals. Once you reach those goals, the manufacturers encourage you to continue to take Green Vibrance so that the benefits continue. This is a long-term solution.

One of the best parts about Green Vibrance is that the company appears to be upfront. This means that they are transparent and use no proprietary blends in their formula. Green Vibrance has produced amazing results according to many customer testimonials.

When I received Green Vibrance I was pleased with the container size, it felt like a substantial product. After opening the green powder nearly filled the tub too, so clearly there was a proper 30 serving count here.

Background on Green Vibrance

Green Vibrance started back in 1992 with three concepts in mind.

• Diets today are not bringing people to their optimal health. They are missing key nutrients to allow them to function at their best.
• The second is that many of the calories consumed today are not as nutrient-dense as they once were. Because of this, people lack many nutrients that are no longer a part of a daily diet. Green Vibrance fills in the gaps of where these nutrients once were.
• The body is self-healing. The body, in fact, wants to be healthy. When given the opportunity, it heals itself. By feeding it Green Vibrance, you are allowing it to do just that.

The company have 10 guiding principles that focus on providing the customer with a transparent product, that fits what people need in their lives, and forever learn to improve. They provide recipes, healthy tips, and company updates too via subscribing to their email list.

Vibrant Health looks to be an ethical company that isn't just focused on profits but provides a range of great supplements and gives back to the community.

Green Vibrance Ingredients

I really like the fact that every ingredient used in Green Vibrance has its amount stated on the label. This is one of the few greens powders on the market that is transparent about the ingredients used.

Ingredient transparency makes it easier for us to evaluate whether it’s going to be as effective as the marketing by the company.

There are a lot of ingredients in Green Vibrance to fit into a 12g serving size though, in total 70 ingredients that also include probiotics (check out the supplement label). So, I was dubious there would be a sufficient quantity of each ingredient where it counts.

A simple example can be seen regarding in the single serving size of 500mg Spirulina. According to Examine.com amounts of 1-8g of Spirulina daily is required to have any beneficial effect.

So, you would need at least two daily servings of Green Vibrance to consume the minimum amount of Spirulina according to the present research.

I'm not so sure of the benefits of including Probiotics in Greens powders though. As we discovered when delving into the research, most probiotics in supplements may not serve much purpose other than looking good on the label.

Many of the Green Vibrance ingredients are good for your health. Since the ingredients include active probiotics but no preservatives, it’s important to store the bottle in the fridge or freezer.

Green Vibrance is recommended to be consumed 30-45 minutes after eating. Therefore, it’s a great idea to get into the routine of eating breakfast and, after a short break, taking the supplement. I wasn't so keen on consuming after breakfast as my normal routine is to consume a greens first thing upon waking.

The company states that it can be taken up to three times per day, but most people only take it once daily. There are some advantages of taking more than one serving per day as this will ensure you consume sufficient amounts, as discussed above.

How Does Green Vibrance Taste?

I drank the Green Vibrance drink for 7-days straight and although not the best tasting Super Greens it certainly is not the worse. I took the “original” flavor and found it palatable enough to drink without needing to mix with anything else. Many customers say adding it to a fruit smoothie will mask the taste.

The official website does not come right out and mention taste, many reviews ask how to make Green Vibrance taste better. While the flavor isn’t terrible, it does have a “green” taste since it does not include added ingredients to make it sweet.

Side Effects

Since all of Green Vibrance’s ingredients are natural and plant-based, there are few dangers of side effects. However, any change or addition to a daily diet can cause noticeable effects on the body. Sensitive individuals might experience Green Vibrance powder side effects like gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation.

In the spirit of full disclosure, a recent ConsumerLab report found that Green Vibrance contained traces of arsenic. However, Vibrant Health addresses this controversy directly on its website, saying that whatever small amounts of organic arsenic are in the product are naturally-occurring and non-toxic. It concludes, “Green Vibrance is no more poisonous – and is indeed far more healthful – than any other natural or whole food a person might consume.”

Taking Green Vibrance for 7-days I experienced no side effects and found it fairly pleasant.

Does Green Vibrance Work?

Green Vibrance could well have some great benefits, there are two big butts though. Firstly, only if taken on a regular schedule and secondly you will need to take 2-3 servings per day to consume sufficient nutrients.

As outlined in the ingredients section above, having so many ingredients in a serving size of 12g means it’s impossible to get much of each ingredient in each serving.

This can be resolved by drinking the powdered Green Vibrance drink 2-3 times per day, which means you’re double or triple dosing.

The number of positive Green Vibrance customer reviews and a long track record of the company and product means you can be confident this is a good product.

Clearly there are some positive benefits to taking this supplement.

Green Vibrance Customer Reviews

There are many reviews that talk about the positive effects of Green Vibrance. The good news for potential buyers is that there is hardly a bad review out there.

Here are a few Green Vibrance testimonials we want to highlight:

Don't waste your time looking for a better product! I used this during chemotherapy in my green smoothie every morning. Some of my chemo nurses starting using it seeing how well I was doing! Can't recommend this product enough!

I did the Keto diet (female, age 45) last year and supplemented once daily with this powder mixed with blueberries, a half banana, and water. Not the best taste, but not horrendous. I felt better than I had in years and I lost 20 lbs. in 8 weeks!!!! I kept it off for 6 months, but unfortunately, by Summertime, my bad habits reared their ugly head, Margaritas, Chips and Salsa, and all those darn carbs! I stopped taking Green Vibrance and I feel like I am 5 years older than I was and the 20lbs returned!!! UGH. New Year’s resolution began yesterday. Green Vibrance, keto diet and I will be on my way to feeling amazing again!!!

I have been drinking Green Vibrance for exactly one month. I felt a change a week ago of wellbeing, energy, and level mood. I realize now that it is the effect of Green Vibrance. All my life I have had very low energy with periods of overwhelming sleepiness and depressed feelings. I had always neglected nutritious eating, especially vegetables. Now I am feeling so much better … Green Vibrance is a miracle for me.

Money Back Guarantee / Refund Policy

Vibrant Health, the company behind Green Vibrance, offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are underwhelmed with any product you purchase from their website, you can return the unopened package within 90 days and receive your money back.

If you have already opened the item, you will receive the full price in-store credit.

Where to Buy Green Vibrance

You can buy this superfood powder at the official Vibrant Health website as well as Amazon.com. It’s also available from retailers like Walmart and The Vitamin Shoppe.

There are a few different options depending on how many you want to start out with. If you like the product, make sure to purchase it in larger quantities which will save you money.

The company makes it easy to purchase from because they have free shipping on every order. If the order is placed by 3 PM, it will typically get to your door in two business days.

I would not suggest going for the Vegicaps option though as I don’t believe you can get the required ingredient amounts very easily this way.

Is It Worth It?

Green Vibrance reviews are consistently positive, both on the Vibrant Health website (4.6 out of 5 stars) and on Amazon (4.5 out of 5 stars).

If you purchase from the manufacturer, a single 30-day supply will set you back $54.00, or $1.80 per serving, though if you buy in bulk and order a subscription, that price can go as low as $1.14 per serving. If you want to give it a shorter try before committing, order the 15-day bottle for $32.00.

Given the comprehensive nature of the labeled ingredients, Green Vibrance has few competitors who can match it in terms of the number of antioxidants and probiotics. Between the great reviews, the satisfaction guarantee, and the availability of a 15-day test purchase, Green Vibrance is a supplement worth trying for yourself.

The only real question is over whether the ingredient amounts are sufficient to work as well as marketing. With so many ingredients in one supplement, the quantity of each tends to suffer. That said, if you’re happy to take two servings per day (as long as this is healthy to do so) then this supplement may still work out cheaper than some green powder supplements, but means you need to take AT least twice per day and will cost you TWICE as much.

The Bottom Line

There is no wonder Green Vibrance has been around for so long: it does seem to get people results. The three biggest positives of Green Vibrance that we noted were that it is transparent with its ingredients, it has proven itself by being around for many years, and it has a lot of great health benefits from consumer reviews.

An issue does seem to be the taste for some people. While it is not as off-putting as some other supplements out there, most consumers recommend the powder mixed into a shake with other ingredients. At least you’ll be able to taste the lack of additives or sweeteners.

The biggest drawback though is ensuring enough of each ingredient to work as suggested when taking one serving per day. Easiest way to deal with this is to look at having 2-3 servings per day.

If you are looking for a product that your entire family can use (including athletes, busy professionals, seniors, and pregnant women), then Green Vibrance could be an excellent nutritional supplement to purchase.

For me, this is one of the contenders for being my daily greens of choice. It’s not perfect but it is the nearest supplement so far (apart from my own greens that I developed from the ground up!) from all the ones I have tried.

Some Call This An "Extreme" Step...

Most super greens supplements are disappointing.

I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.

I wasn’t happy with the results so I did something you might call "extreme"....

In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:

• No hidden ingredient amounts - we have full disclosure labelling, so you know EXACTLY whats inside
• Ingredient amounts that make a difference - we include the minimum effective amounts supported by research, and most of the time, MORE
• Ingredients that help immunity, boost mental clarity and shake off brain fog - making for a much more productive and happy lifestyle

No more worrying about ineffective ingredients or too low dosages. I finally have a product I KNOW does the job it’s made to do.

I use it every day and, after years of battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I now have my energy (and my life!) back.

The good news? I made my brand available to the public so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.

Read Review

When I first saw this supplement, I thought I was looking at a dieting product. The emphasis seems to be on fat loss along with eliminating bloating, easing digestion, and increasing energy levels. Users have certainly claimed it’s changed their life.

Detox Organics is not a meal replacement though; it should simply be added to your regular, nutritious meals. By having a healthy diet throughout the day, adding Detox Organics to it is claimed to make you even healthier.

Looking at the official website clearly, this greens powder is aimed at women, although looking at the Detox Organics customers some men are fans too.

I have to admit I wasn’t sure this superfood powder supplement was really for me. But, the number of positive reviews though made me keen to give it a try, so here is my Detox Organics review.

What is Detox Organics?

In order to get the benefits of any Greens powder supplement, it’s important to drink it every single day. I like to take it first thing in the morning as part of my wake-up routine. Taking it as soon as you wake up in the morning can be a great way to kickstart your day.

For added benefits, you can have two Detox Organics shakes per day, although that is not necessary. Depending on how your body is responding to it, some people seem to take it two times daily. However, once-daily is the minimum recommended amount.

It’s worth noting having two servings per day could work out expensive in the long run as one tub will only last 15 days, which means you will need two tubs per month.

The powder is very easy to mix and can be consumed in a shake or by itself. The simplest way is to mix it with water, which is delicious since it has a chocolate taste. Other options for mixers are almond milk or coconut milk.

I prefer to try and take Super Greens just with cold water for ease and avoid mixing with other drinks. This is also a great way to see how palatable it is. Unlike most Super Greens this powder is not green as much as more brownish in color, this is because of the chocolate flavoring.

Do the results of Detox Organics speak for themselves, or is this another green supplement over-promising and under-delivering?

Background on Detox Organics

The official website has no information as to who is behind the company, only knowing that they are based in Scottsdale, Arizona in the USA. All we could find is a brief page on Better Business Bureau (BBB) that’s showing they have been in business since 2015 and have 3 complaints in total.

Doing some basic research online I can only see the company website being live since January 2017 suggesting the company hasn’t been trading too long. There are no negative reports online about the brand with most of the reviews being on Amazon.

Detox Organics are very active on social media mostly on Instagram and Facebook. With lots of great pictures of the tubs with customers and brand ambassadors sprinkled with the odd motivational message.

The Detox Organics company offers an ambassador program where you can promote the product and receive a commission for each sale. This is a common way for supplement companies to spread your brand at a low cost as they only pay out upon receiving sales.

Whilst this can be a great way to gain exposure to the product, consumers need to be wary of overzealous marketing in order to get a commission.

The company does have some other supplement brands too although the Daily Organics Daily focus looks to be discontinued now. They also have a protein supplement too.

Detox Organics Ingredients

Each scoop of Detox Organics is 16.4g in size, 130 calories per serving, includes 25 Organic superfoods, and is certified USDA organic.

I did a quick calculation and added the ingredient amounts together for each blend and the remaining nutrients come to approximately 8g. This means the remaining 8g in the serving is either the chocolate flavoring or filler or both!

Label Updated January 2021

So, whilst initially, I was impressed with the 16g serving it seems that the actual active ingredient amount is only 1/2 of the amount. Sounds less impressive now eh? Having 25 ingredients in an 8g serving size means the amounts aren’t going to be high.

This leads to the issue all too common with Superfood supplements and in fact, most supplements are hiding of ingredient amounts in proprietary blends (see the label and highlighted bits in red).

There are three blends used in Detox Organics are Detox and Cleansing blend (1.7g), Alkalizing Blend (2.5g), and Digestive Support Blend (3.6g).

The source of the chocolate flavoring is Organic Cocoa Powder but we don’t have any further information on this.

On a positive note, the manufacturers chose organic products as well as non-GMO ingredients, which are also “gluten-friendly”, which is always something to keep in mind if you are gluten intolerant. With that said, it is not gluten-free.

How Does Detox Organics Taste?

Mixing a scoop of Detox Organics with water and you have what looks like a chocolate drink. For me, this was a little off-putting as I am not a fan of chocolate drinks, even though I love chocolate (I know strange!).

The taste was pretty good although a little sweet, which is fine for me but may not suit everyone. From reading feedback from other customers mixing with unsweetened chocolate almond milk works well, but I didn’t try this.

Considering most other Super Green drinks on the market today have a grassy taste, this supplement tasted good and I could see myself drinking this daily. Many consumers won’t just endure the taste of these greens – they will enjoy it. This is one of the things Detox Organics is most proud of.

Detox Organics does not have any added artificial flavors or sweeteners. Many supplements and detox products add sugars to help them taste or smell better.

Side Effects

The Detox Organics side effects that you experience will depend on the state of your previous diet.

It’s possible to experience mild gastrointestinal effects such as effects like gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. Some people have skin breakouts or intense cravings for unhealthy foods. Others experience headaches, brain “fog,” fatigue, headaches, low energy, or irritability.

Consuming Detox Organics for 7-days straight I was fine without any gastrointestinal side effects.

Does Detox Organics Work?

The Detox Organics ingredients have been selected to alkalize, detox, and energize your body in what they say is a 3 phase plant-based supplement. Key benefits also include boosting your immune system, removing harmful toxins, promoting fat loss, eliminating bloating, and easing digestion.

This all sounds great but I am not too confident about how well Detox Organics actually works.

For starters, it's unlikely there are sufficient ingredient amounts in one serving size to support 100% of the claims made by the manufacturers. This is because they use a number of proprietary blends, a common practice by companies who wish to hide the individual ingredient amounts.

To be fair, some but certainly not all, of the ingredients may be sufficient but it’s impossible to know for sure.

The claim is that this is the first detox product of this kind, making it a powerful detox supplement. Whilst there are customers who feel this works for them, there is no science supporting the claims made by the manufacturer.

Detox Organics claims that each scoop contains the equivalent health benefits of 10 lbs of superfoods and vegetables. Again, how they come to this conclusion is not explained and so I am not too convinced but such vague statements.

Detox Organics Customer Reviews

According to the official website over 250,000 people have purchased and tried Detox Organics, that’s a lot of people. With so many customers they must be doing something right eh?

The focus of the official website is customer testimonials with many of them showing before and after pictures. A few of these are fairly impressive to be fair.

Here are some Detox Organics chocolate superfood reviews from real customers.

I absolutely love this product takes away all my bloating and it even helps with my mood! I have so much more energy and confidence now that I drink this every day

Not only do I LOVE the taste, but I love how regular it has helped me and my bloat is so minimal. I love drinking this first in the morning or in the evening after dinner for a little snack. It tastes delicious. I really look forward to it each day!!!!

Not all feedback is positive though and customers on Amazon had this to say about the taste and stomach upset:

Was very excited to try this. By the 3rd day had stomach pain and discomfort. Stopped and the GI upset went away. If you tend to have a gentle stomach, I would not recommend using this. 24-36 hours of awful GI distress is not worth the $68 price.

I enjoyed the taste of it, but it did not work to ease my digestion or make me any less bloated. I was more bloated after consuming this every day.

Money Back Guarantee / Refund Policy

The manufacturer of Detox Organics is so sure customers will enjoy their product that they have a money-back guarantee. If the purchaser is not satisfied, they will receive a full refund within 60 days as long as you haven’t opened the tub.

The home page says “just send us the empty tub we’ll give you your money back within 60 days” but digging into the FAQ it says “We cannot take opened containers back, it’s unsanitary.” This means if you open any tubs you won’t qualify for a full refund.

If you have opened the tub though they do not offer a refund. In which case, you cannot try the product and receive a refund – which means if you don’t like the taste or the experience you're out of luck!

Where to Buy Detox Organics

You can buy this product straight from the manufacturer’s website in a variety of tub sizes. It’s also available at retail stores like The Vitamin Shoppe, you can also buy Detox Organics from Amazon.com.

Is Detox Organics Worth It?

You may be thinking it sounds too good to be true. Weight loss and better health? As well as a healthy chocolate drink? Well, it comes at a cost though, and this works out to be around $2 USD per serving.

So, depending on if you take one or two servings per day, consuming Detox Organics may end up costing you $60 – $120 per month. Fairly expensive for a tasty chocolate drink where you’re not sure exactly the ingredients in it eh?

This is the issue I have with Detox Organics, the too common issue of using proprietary blends for the most important ingredients in the supplement. As discussed in the ingredients section above, the active ingredient amounts in one serving are likely to be insufficient. This means paying a premium price for a supplement containing too few amounts.

To be more confident of consuming enough ingredients to work you’ll most likely need to have two servings per day – this makes this a very expensive supplement to take on a regular basis.

Detox Organics Verdict

Are you ready to purchase Detox Organics after reading this review?

Although juicing is a great way to increase the number of vegetables you consume, it takes a lot of time and supplies to do properly. Detox Organics takes the workout and time commitment out, while still benefiting from so many healthy ingredients.

Unless you spill the powder, there is no cleanup time.

Detox Organics does great in marketing their supplement, hitting all the pain points, and making it taste like chocolate too! On top of this, it’s one of the few Super Greens that has 100% USDA organic ingredients, so will suit many consumers.

Well, I would suggest considering the downsides to buying Detox Organics if you’re looking for a health supplement backed by science. Already discussed is the crucial fact that most of the ingredient amounts aren’t revealed.

Maybe this supplement should be called Super Browns, although I suspect the name won't catch on as it’s not the most appealing name 😉

If you’re looking for a low-calorie, tasty chocolate drink that contains a range of Superfoods and doesn’t mind the cost, then buy Detox Organics as this could be the supplement for you.

For me, I prefer a non-chocolate tasting Super Greens and one where I can be confident I know 100% what’s in it. I won’t be choosing Detox Organics as my daily greens supplement.

Green Detox claims to be different than many other detoxes on the market today.

Just like the title says, this greens supplement is “science-based.” This powdered supplement provides consumers with 13 superfoods packed with antioxidants and other ingredients that if the marketing is to be believed, can do wonders for your health.

The Green Detox product is easy to take as the scoops are small and take about 20 seconds to consume. It is recommended to take one each morning. Science-based Green Detox assists consumers with any nutrient deficiencies. It could also help to boost the immune system.

Whether the consumer is an athlete looking to help their diet even more, or just starting their health journey, Green Detox’s manufacturer states that it is great for everyone.

This Green Detox review goes into every ingredient in the product, the results people have had, whether it’s worth purchasing, and what I personally think about this product.

What is Green Detox?

There are a lot of Green Detox reviews online showing how it can help people of all different sizes, ages, and health goals. Although it works to supplement a diet, it also is the solution for people that are just beginning to pay attention to their health.

As I have already mentioned, I have been researching the greens detox supplements that best suit me (you can see all the greens powders I recommend). Having first seen adverts for this product on Facebook, I was skeptical, especially the “science” angle used in marketing.

Green Detox supplement also caters to vegans, is soy-free, and is gluten-free, and so this will appeal to consumers who can take neither soy nor animal products. Many products on the market today are gluten-friendly; however, until they go through rigorous testing, they can’t be labeled as truly “gluten-free.” This is a huge benefit for users who cannot tolerate gluten in their diets.

What was disappointing was when I received the product in the post (well my sister-in-law and then posted to me in Malaysia), the tub is small for a Super Green supplement. And like a few customers have discovered and reported on Amazon, the green powder was not even half full!

I haven’t counted, but it’s hard to believe there are 30 servings in the tub. If so, this makes Green Detox incredibly expensive – not the best of starts.

Background on Science-Based Green Detox

Many companies talk about the science behind the product and the chemists that invented it; however, readers don’t know anything about these people – not so with Green Detox, which was created by Thomas DeLauer.

Thomas DeLauer is a nutrition and business coach. He has a successful YouTube channel and a transformation story of his own. DeLauer used to weigh nearly 300 pounds. Once he applied the same principles he still believes in today, he dropped a significant amount of weight, reaching 185 pounds today.

You may recognize DeLauer from the covers of many popular health and fitness magazines. After losing weight, he decided to share his story with others, so they could benefit from the same strategies he used to get healthy.

He invented his Green Detox science-based product as a part of his daily detox plan. He soon started noticing a big difference and shared it with clients he was coaching. Now, it is on the market for anyone to consume. He made the Green Detox price affordable for anyone.

Thomas DeLauer’s Green Detox reviews tend to be positive, he is a charismatic guy and lives and breathes health and fitness. Consumers would appear to continue to stay on the supplement after their first experience with it. I do have concerns with the ingredients though and how this is marketed, let's take a look at why.

Science-Based Green Detox Ingredients

Gone is the previous tiny serving size of 5 grams, and now the new formula is a whopping 14 grams!

Most of the formula is in the form of Corn fiber (4 grams), and so we are still seeing a tiny “green balance” formula, just 3 grams, that contains the greens' nutrients.

The previous version of Green Detox actually contained 4 grams of greens, so we see less greens in this updated formula.

The “Beta berries” blend is 500mg mix of berries typically seen in red superfood supplements albeit in higher dosages.

Interestingly, their second version of Green Detox revealed the exact ingredient amounts of all the ingredient weights – this version doesn't, which means all the ingredients are wrapped in proprietary blends.

So, we don't get to see how much of each ingredient (and, importantly the power) in the formula.

How Does Science-Based Green Detox Taste?

The flavor of Green Detox may surprise users at first. Many superfood detox supplements on the market taste like drinking a cup of spinach or a mouthful of grass. Not this supplement, though. Green Detox reviews show that it tastes like apple pie.

I liked the taste although the smell was a little off-putting!

The only concern about having a supplement that tastes that good is that there must be added sugars or synthetic ingredients to make it taste that way. It does not claim to have any sweeteners added to the product, so, unfortunately, it is not a completely pure form.

Are there any Side Effects

Since Green Detox is meant to supplement a diet rather than replace it, you won’t have to worry about the dangerous side effects of many “detox cleanses” that put you on a liquid-only diet. However, any time you introduce something new into your daily diet, your body might have unexpected reactions.

With Super Greens, there is a chance you may experience gas, bloating, stomachaches, or diarrhea when first trying Green Detox. However, as long as you are balancing the supplement out with other healthy foods, these symptoms should disappear quickly. If they remain, stop using Green Detox and consult with a medical professional.

I was fine taking this supplement first thing in the morning and didn't feel any adverse reactions.

Science-Based Green Detox: Does It Work?

The goal of Green Detox is not to supplement your entire diet, but to fill in any holes that may be there.

As with many of the Super Greens benefits, this supplement claims to detox your body, boost energy levels, support a healthy metabolism, improve immunity, reduce stress, and provide mental clarity.

If your diet is lacking in micronutrients then consuming Green Detox drink each day may help but it’s unlikely considering the serving size. Not having the exact ingredient amounts it's impossible to tell if you’re consuming enough of each to provide any real benefit to your health and well-being.

In order for actual science to support the claims made by the manufacturer, we need to know the ingredient amounts used. Only then can we compare them to actual studies that back up the claims made.

Although not scientific, the reports by some consumers seem to suggest that it works for some of them.

Science-Based Green Detox Customer Reviews

I checked out a number of Green Detox reviews online and found a rather mixed result. Clearly, the supplement works for some people but the main negatives are the cost and amount of greens you receive in the tub (exactly my feedback).

It does what it says it will do. Pleasant taste!

“Best tasting greens on the planet with the greatest company backing it up with a solid program that gives top-notch results. I have had a great start and game plan to incorporate this detox to achieve results!

Some of the negative reviews of Green Detox didn't pull any punches, here are a few:

The container is less than half full. There is no way that there are thirty servings. I could not believe my eyes.

This product is absolute garbage. The container itself is only 4inches tall, and only half of it is filled with powder. Half! In addition, the supposed “Apple pie flavor” is a false advertisement, it does not taste remotely close to that. Overall this product is overpriced, the amount of powder they deliver is ridiculously small, and the taste they claim is false.

Money Back Guarantee / Refund Policy

The scientists behind Green Detox believe in their product. They offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, so consumers should be able to order with confidence. If you are not satisfied for any reason with the product, then you can contact them via their support.

Where to Buy Science-Based Green Detox

Green Detox is available through a number of online sellers, including Amazon and SixPackAbs. You can also find it in a number of retail stores such as GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, and even Walmart.

Check out the prices and reviews on Amazon.com.

Is Green Detox Worth Buying?

Green Detox is now much more affordable. The daily cost of this supplement is $2.50 (USD) for ingredients that I am, not 100% confident are in enough quantities to work.

For me this is too expensive for what you’re getting. Green Detox does not provide a lot of information about any other ingredient manufacturers may have added. Fillers are easy to hide from ingredient lists, and because it tastes like an apple, we wonder if it might contain some.

It tastes better than many Super Greens, especially if you’re into Apple Pie. When a product is hard to swallow, it is difficult to sell, and consumers will be less likely to continue using it in the long term.

Considering the choice of greens supplements on the market, for me, Detox Detox isn’t worth the price.

The Bottom Line

Green Detox falls very short in my opinion.

Yes, you get some good ingredients, but there is a question over whether the amounts are enough, which for me questions the “science-based” bit.

There is also no getting away from the cost of this Super Green, especially considering the size of the tub and the half-filled powder inside.

On the plus side it's palatable (at least I found it so), more than could be said for many such supplements. So, if you have deep pockets and can forget you may not be getting enough ingredients, then this could be the product for you.

The team behind Green Detox does a great job in marketing their supplement, but once you delve into the “actual” science you find it’s more hype than substance.

Overall, science-based Green Detox is not for me. There are too many negatives for me to consider taking this as my daily super greens of choice.

Read Review

I ordered most of my Green Superfoods from Amazon in the UK and brought them back home to Malaysia on my last trip to visit family and friends. I could have ordered from Amazon to have shipped to Malaysia but it’s not quick and some merchants don’t like shipping here.

I had a good experience trying my first Super Greens (see my AG1 Greens review) and was keen to see how I got on with Amazing Grass Super Greens. Since writing this review, I have been drinking the greens supplement every morning for the last 7 days.

What is Amazing Grass?

There are a number of serving sizes and flavors but I went with the Original Flavor and the 30 servings tub. It’s easy to see which flavor you have because the label on the tub is color-coded – mine being Original is green.

As well as Original, you can also get Berry, Chocolate, Holiday Cookie, Orange Dream, and Pumpkin Spice and the first three flavors are available in both 30 and 60 serving tubs, the last three in 30 serving tubs only, although I am not sure why.

Mixing my first scoop of 8g Amazing Grass Green powder with 200ml of cold water I noticed it was less frothy than Athletic Greens. Even after quite a vigorous stirring, the green powder could still be seen floating in the water.

My first impression of the drink was that it’s not as appealing as Athletic Greens. The taste certainly has a grassy taste and so this is certainly one for mixing with another drink, even combining with fruits or possibly yogurt, as some consumers have suggested.

Background on Amazing Grass

Back in 2002 two guys, Brandon and Todd discovered they both had a passion for outdoor healthy lifestyles. When Brandon convinced Todd to try his green drink instead of his usual coffee, he was sold and so were their friends and co-workers. They teamed up to start the company Amazing Grass and to this day are a popular choice with consumers.

Amazing Grass stocks a large number of supplements for both adults and kids, they mostly focus on health and wellness. As well as powdered supplements, they have effervescent tablets, organic Superfood bars, capsules, and accessories like shaker cups and t-shirts.

I really like that a proportion of each sale goes towards supporting “The Whole Planet Foundation”, a charity that works with local communities around the world to lift them out of poverty. This is really great, although I was unable to find out any further information on how much they support the foundation.

Reading through some of the Amazon customer reviews it sounds as if the formula changed sometime in 2017. I searched for more information on this but was unable to dig up anything on it. So, I cannot confirm if the Amazing Grass Green Superfood formula has been changed.

Related: Do greens powders have heavy metals.

Amazing Grass Green Superfood Ingredients

My pet hate as you will hear in several of my reviews is Proprietary blends!

Okay, so I got that out of my system, well sort of. Looking further, I immediately see my second Super Green supplement is also hiding their ingredients using a pseudo-scientific blend.

Again, it’s impossible to really tell how much of the individual ingredient amounts are present in the Amazing Grass Green Superfood ingredient list. The label only lists them in the order of the largest amount in the blend.

This is disappointing, but it is a familiar practice with supplements these days.

On a positive note, many of the ingredients are Organic and the usual suspects are evident, such as Spirulina, Spinach, Chlorella, Wheat, and Barley Grass, etc. Although many of the ingredients are Organic the product is not certified Organic – Having said this very few Super Greens are USDA certified.

The fact the supplement isn’t 100% organic is not an issue for me, it’s nice that the Greens and many of the other ingredients are organic though.

Following a popular trend with Super Greens, Amazing Grass has included a “Pre/Probiotic blend”, as discussed in my Super Greens and Probiotics section, including these, are most likely for window dressing and will not serve any nutritional purpose.

I found the supplement label lacking in nutritional information. No details of individual ingredient amount and actually what does “lots of antioxidants” really mean? Would drinking a serving of Amazing Grass green powder per day give you all your veggie and antioxidant needs? It’s doubtful.

The inclusion of fiber is great, but I don’t believe 668mg will give you that much so that it will have any meaningful impact, especially as the daily intake is 25-38gms of fiber per day (source).

You would get over 5 times more fiber from eating just a small apple.

Let’s take a look at the ingredients in each blend:

How does Amazing Grass Taste?

After opening the tub and removing the protective cover you can smell the Super Greens powder. It’s not unpleasant but smells very earthy, like mown grass.

The taste is okay, certainly has more of a “grassy” taste than some of the other Super Greens I have tried. Although it didn’t put me off drinking it, it doesn’t taste as great as other green supplements I have tried – such as Athletic Greens.

However, the taste did linger in the mouth a little too long. This is something I wasn’t so keen on and I took to drinking another glass of water afterward to “rinse” my mouth out.

Checking out what other customers have said about the taste it seems mixing it with another drink is the answer to making it taste better!

Side Effects

The first time I tried Amazing Grass super greens was after lunch, I had mild stomach discomfort but could have been due to something else I ate at lunch.

The next morning, I experienced no issues after taking it. Trying Amazing Grass superfood for the following 6 days was fine too, so the mild stomach ache on the first day was a one-off.

Reading other customers’ experiences with Amazing Grass, it does seem that some people suffer from mild stomach upset. This soon disappears though and could occur when getting used to the product. To be fair is not an uncommon issue with this type of supplement.

Does Amazing Grass Green Superfood work?

As outlined above, it’s difficult to tell due to the use of a proprietary blend.

We know that there is a minimum required dose required in order to have an effect, whether Green Superfood contains enough is doubtful considering the number of ingredients in the blend. I say doubtful as we don’t know, but I suspect if the amounts were higher this would be shown on the bottle.

To give an example, according to Examine the daily dose for Spirulina is between 1-8g, in the “Amazing Grass Green Food Blend” there are seven ingredients amounting to 5.7g, Spirulina is 5th in the list.

With Organic Wheat Grass being the main ingredient in terms of quantity in the blend, it’s unlikely that Spirulina makes up 20-25% of this blend.

Sadly, we will never know, unfortunately.

The same goes for Chorella, which is needed in even higher dosages.

The antioxidant blend of ingredients reads to be like something out of a diet supplement, a fad fat burner with the latest “Superfoods”. The quantities are similar too, with the blend coming to 1.1g the same quantity seen in two standard capsules. Again, very unlikely to have enough to do much, if anything.

Amazing Grass Customer Reviews

I checked out the Amazing Grass Green Superfood reviews online and the common customer complaints seem to be around the change in formula back in 2017 and the taste.

This powder tastes like the earth

The most notable comments on Amazon are;

Awesome Product Turned To Junk

You've got to mix it with something, but finding your right combination is like hitting the jackpot.

new to greens superfood powders then you're pretty much guaranteed to hate the flavor of these powders

However, it's worthwhile keeping in mind that taste is highly subjective.

On the plus side, there are many Amazing Grass Amazon reviews, at the time of writing this article over 8,350 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.2 out of 5.

Over 75% of consumers gave Green Superfood 4 or 5 stars.

Money Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

The returns policy does depend on where you have purchased your Amazing Grass greens from but there doesn’t appear to be a way to try the supplement and return it if you don’t like it.

So, the 30-day money-back guarantee ONLY applies to unopened products and will only consider exchanging your product for another one.

If you return unopened products you won’t receive a full refund either as any shipping costs are deducted along with a $15 handling fee. This seems fairly high especially considering this works out to be 50% of the monthly product cost!

For a company that “stands behind our products” the money-back guarantee is pretty poor, come on guys.

Where To Buy Amazing Grass ?

You can buy Amazing Grass from a number of high street stores such as Walmart, Target, GNC and lots of smaller retainers. You can also buy Amazing Grass online from a number of popular sites like iHerb, VitaminShoppe, Vitacost, Bodybuilding.com, and of course directly from the official website.

Like I did, you can also buy from their Amazon Store, so if you’re an Amazon Prime member you may wish to try this and save on delivery charges and waiting times. I found the costs to be a little cheaper on Amazon too!

The cost of Amazing Grass Green Superfood varies according to seven available serving sizes and flavors. This Super Greens is also available in different forms, such as sachets, powders, and capsules too, although I wouldn’t recommend Amazing Grass Super Green capsules as they won’t deliver enough ingredients easily.

Currently, Amazing Grass super greens can be bought in 15 sachet box, 30, 60 and 100 servings tub, and in 150 capsule bottles. Flavors include Original, Berry, Chocolate, and Orange Dream (currently not available on Amazon).

Is It Worth The Price?

This is one of the cheapest Super Greens I have seen on the market. Unfortunately for me at least this was reflected in the taste and the number of ingredients available in each serving.

With the huge doubt over the quantity of the ingredients and to ensure you consume enough, you would likely have to take a minimum of two servings per day. Doing so makes the Amazing Grass Super Greens supplement comparable in price to more premium products.

Saying all this it’s difficult to see what is to be gained from choosing this brand over a better brand that is open with its ingredients.

Amazing Grass Verdict

This is marketed completely differently to Athletic Greens as this is much cheaper at under $30 per month.

I wasn’t keen on the taste when consuming directly with water. This did put me off the product and would affect my decision to buy this for everyday use.

The refund policy is poor for a company of long-standing and appears to have a good customer base, according to the number of customer reviews and how long they have been running. Basically, if you buy the product that’s it, you either try it and use it or exchange it for another one of their products (if you’re lucky).

In summary, if you’re on a budget and looking for a cheap way to get some of the Green Superfoods in your diet and can put up with the taste, then Amazing Grass Green Superfood could be a choice.

Buying something because it is in the budget isn’t a sensible solution for me, especially as I don’t know if I will get the right amounts. For me, I am looking for something that I know what the ingredients are and the amounts and they to work for me.

For me, I am skipping Amazing Grass Superfood greens and will keep searching for an amazing green superfood.

LifeHacker Guy Greens Recommendation

Some Call This An "Extreme" Step...

Most super greens supplements are disappointing.

I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.

I wasn’t happy with the results so I did something you might call "extreme"....

In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:

• No hidden ingredient amounts - we have full disclosure labelling, so you know EXACTLY whats inside
• Ingredient amounts that make a difference - we include the minimum effective amounts supported by research, and most of the time, MORE
• Ingredients that help immunity, boost mental clarity and shake off brain fog - making for a much more productive and happy lifestyle

No more worrying about ineffective ingredients or too low dosages. I finally have a product I KNOW does the job it’s made to do.

I use it every day and, after years of battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I now have my energy (and my life!) back.

The good news? I made my brand available to the public so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.
