There is no supplementing with extra products to make this brand seem better value for the money. <\/p>\n<div class=\"gb\">\n<p>Let\u2019s take a quick look at the ingredients in Energy Greens:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spirulina<\/strong> \u2013  nutrient-dense with 8 essential amino acids, chlorophyll, the essential fatty acid GLA, and B vitamins (required dosage of 1-8g per day &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/examine.com\/supplements\/spirulina\/\">Examine<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cracked-cell chlorella<\/strong> \u2013 great source of chlorophyll, lots of health benefits<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alfalafa juice powder<\/strong> \u2013 another great source of chlorophyll, contains lots of Vitamin C, may reduce bad cholesterol levels<\/li>\n<li><strong>Barley grass powder<\/strong> \u2013 high in vitamins and minerals, another great source of chlorophyll<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goji berry juice powder<\/strong> \u2013 rich in antioxidants and heart-healthy phytosterols and eye sight-protecting carotenoids<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong> \u2013 potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant polyphenols, also adds flavour<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon<\/strong> \u2013 unique healing abilities with anti-clotting and antimicrobial activity<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maca<\/strong> \u2013 organic adaptogen, similar to ginseng, great for energy, recovery, libido, and stress-busting (required dosage of 1.5-3g per day \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/examine.com\/supplements\/maca\/\">Examine<\/a>. The taste of Maca root is fairly unpleasant \u2013 if you have ever tried this on its own well done! )<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some of the recommended daily dosages have been outlined, others were less clear how much per day is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>For more in-depth information about popular super green ingredients check out my article.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each serving of Yuri Energy Greens is 7.8g<\/strong> which is a little less than some of the other popular greens on the market (such as <a href=\"\/athletic-greens-review\/\">this<\/a> or <a href=\"\/vibrant-health-green-vibrance-review\/\">this one<\/a> etc). Considering there are much fewer ingredients in this brand then this smaller portion is probably not an issue of ingredient amounts.<\/p>\n<p>The ingredient profile is a proprietary blend and the <strong>ingredient amounts of each one of the 8 ingredients are not disclosed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, whilst it\u2019s great to know the ingredients have been carefully selected and are 100% organic, it would be good to know how much is inside.<\/p>\n<p>This is my ONLY issue with Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens, unfortunately, though it\u2019s a fairly major one!<\/p>\n<p>Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens is 100% USDA certified organic. Having only 8 ingredients means it is much easier to achieve this status.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens Taste?<\/h2>\n<p>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 <strong>unlike most other green powder drinks on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, he backs this up with an amazing \u201ctaste it and love it\u201d money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>You can mix it with 250ml (8oz) of water or add it to your favorite green smoothie.<\/p>\n<h2>Side Effects<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from consulting your physician if you\u2019re pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any medications, there is no mention of side effects.<\/p>\n<p>A few of the ingredients may not be suitable for everyone though.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens Work?<\/h2>\n<p>According to Yuri his Energy Greens supplement:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>TOP 8 most nutrient-dense superfoods in the world made the cut \u2013 and every single one of the superfoods comes in significant amounts that have been shown to help enhance health\u2026 protect against disease\u2026 and provide natural energy and well-being. <cite>Yuri Elkaim.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Everything about this greens powder screams \u2018this is going to work\u2019. The product isn\u2019t over-marketed and is not gimmicky (I am thinking chocolate greens drink here!), but there is one niggling doubt in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>The use of a proprietary blend and the lack of a fully transparent (measured) ingredient label.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the claim is that each ingredient is provided in \u201csignificant amounts\u201d we don\u2019t know for sure and have to completely rely on Yuri for this.<\/p>\n<p>I would much <strong>prefer seeing the FULL ingredient list on the label<\/strong> for complete peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>So do I think Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens can work?<\/p>\n<p>On balance, I would most likely think yes, but I have no evidence to support this other than a gut feeling. If that\u2019s enough then this could be the Greens Supplement for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens Customer Reviews<\/h2>\n<p>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).<\/p>\n<p>It would be good to see reviews on third party sites too, but <strong>I was unable to find any<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of what customers had to say about Energy Greens:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>By far the best tasting greens on the market! <cite>Keith Yackey, Nevada, USA<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>Yuri\u2019s Energy Greens helped me cut out coffee, and get rid of my chronic fatigue!<br \/>\n<cite>Lisa, Louisiana, USA<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>If you\u2019re looking for the best Organic Greens powder on the market then look no further than Yuri\u2019s Energy Greens!<br \/>\n<cite>Ann, Ontario, Canada<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A quick point to highlight is there aren\u2019t any dates on the reviews either, not that this a big deal, but we don\u2019t know how recent they are.<\/p>\n<h2>Money Back Guarantee \/ Returns Policy<\/h2>\n<p>Yuri Elkhaim has one of the best money-back guarantees I have seen in a Super Greens product \u2013 a full one-year money-back guarantee!<\/p>\n<p>This is VERY impressive and <strong>clearly Yuri stands behind his product 100%.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Where to Buy Yuri Elkaim Energy Greens?<\/h2>\n<p>I could only find Yuri Energy Greens supplement through the official website and not through his Amazon store where he sells his books (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2NfIztF\">All-Day Energy Diet and All-Day Fat Burning Diet<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>A real plus is the fact that there is international shipping to what looks like most countries on the planet!<\/p>\n<h2>Is It Worth the Price?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/yuri-greens-veggies.jpg\" alt=\"Yuri Greens\" width=\"450\" height=\"372\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/yuri-greens-veggies.jpg 450w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/yuri-greens-veggies-20x17.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yuri\u2019s Super greens supplement is on the premium side with <strong>prices of $65 &#8211; $80 for a single jar<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n<p>You can also have your 1, 3, or 6 jars automatically sent to you every 30 days. I can\u2019t imagine why anyone would be ordering 6 jars every month!<\/p>\n<p>Every order receives a free color guide with 21 green smoothie recipes. <\/p>\n<p>Considering that there are only 8 ingredients in this greens powder, <strong>I do think it\u2019s a little overpriced, especially as we cant be sure of the ingredient amounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>Would you be keen on paying $120USD+ per month for one month\u2019s supply? I don\u2019t think I would.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially you\u2019re paying for the smaller batch runs and claims of better ingredient sourcing.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>I will say it again, I can\u2019t help but be <strong>impressed with Yuri\u2019s Energy Greens supplement<\/strong>. The guy comes across as very genuine and his story gives you a real sense of confidence in his product.<\/p>\n<p>I really like the fact this supplement takes a less-is-more approach to ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I am <strong>disappointed that there is no ingredient label transparency<\/strong>. Considering how easy this is to do, I find it incredibly frustrating that more supplement companies do this!<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cbest results\u201d is a little steep too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My journey to find the ultimate Super Greens supplement to take continues. <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-greens-box\"><h6>LifeHacker Guy Greens Recommendation<\/h6><div class=\"internal-wrapper\"><a href=\"\/supergreen-tonik-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/cdn.lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/themes\/lhg-theme2\/images\/adam-sgt-new-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"SuperGreen TONIK tub\"\/><\/a><p><strong>Some Call This An \"Extreme\" Step...<\/strong><\/p><p>Most super greens supplements are disappointing.<\/p><p>I learned this the hard way.
