I want to purchase a green superfood powder as a supplement and have narrowed my search to two choices:

1. Boku superfood

2. Amazing Grass Green Superfood

Both appear to be outstanding products based upon the research I have done.

Which would you buy and why? Do you have any other alternatives that are in the same class as these two that you would recommend?

I am not really at a place in my life where I can go mix up my own version of superfood ( not enough time nor the desire) so will be purchasing one.

I have used superfood powders in the past, but they were not good enough for me to continue on them. I do not otherwise eat very many veggies in my post op diet so I consider a superfood powder as a good alternative to getting veggies and fruit back into my diet without adding tons of calories ( a goal) or the increasing effort to go track down the equivalent veggies and prepare them for the meals for eating. That's just me and what my eating style has become post op.

also juice plus is a great I use it and my children to do! They actually get it free for 4 years. www.haveyoutriedjuiceplus.com it bridges the gap so you get the amount of servings of veggies and fruit that we will never get having the sleeve! Read up on it!!! Next best thing to fruit and veggies!!! They also have a great complete shake!!!

How long have u used it?

I use Garden of Life Raw Meal. (Vanilla). I then it's amazing.

Yup on the hay barn smell' date=' tastes like alfalfa to me. I used to take alfalfa tablets. I used about 16 oz of Water the first day, about 10 oz the second day. With my small banana tummy I like to get it over sooner so I concentrated it.

I have been hitting it twice a day, probably over-doing it but that's me. I put it in a whey shake with Peanut Butter and it was real good. I drank it in some coffee today, pretty strange but palatable.

It may be too soon to tell if it is having an effect on me but I do believe I am sleeping better, a huge thing for me. My bowels have been going pretty good, too. I had a slight headache after my morning dose, a good sign that toxins are being dumped.

Any effects on you yet?[/quote']

I did get the minor headache after taking today and yesterday in additions to little allergy like symptoms (sneezing and runny nose). I do not have allergies to anything, so I think it is just a start of the process of detoxing. Slept really well last night with no sleep aid ( a first in a while) and just "feel better." It is hard to quantify that except to state I feel a gentle and quiet alertness, even at 6am, without coffee. That i think is saying something.

This Amazing grass is really good stuff. I am impressed. Also found that mixing it with pineapple/ coconut dasani flavor is a really good combination.

It seems to mix well with dairy type stuff, too, if you don't mind whatever you mix it with turning green. I don't.

I have been getting a lot of gassiness which I blame on the powder. Not a big deal for me, my body is adjusting. I am still sleeping well. I have a feeling that about week 2 I will notice a big difference in energy.

I think the gas is coming from mixing the greens with dairy that's a bad combo try it with juice I reckon the gas will stop

I took your advice, Soocalchic. I think you were right. I am separating my greens and dairy now. Thanks!

I have new combination which I call "Extreme Green". I mix the green powder with cold green tea which I made from Organo Gold green tea bags plus some green tea extract, (nasty tasting stuff on it's own), and a bit of raw, unfiltered honey.

I heat some Water and pour out a bit into a small glass with the extract and the green grass powder and mix it.(The extract does not dissolve well in cold water and clumps of it are vile!)

Then it goes into the cold tea glass and add the honey.

It's quite a boost early in the morning.

Glad this is working for you

Gman - how has the amazing Grass been working for you since we started taking it? I have not had to take a sleep aid since and feel pretty rested in the morning, even when rising about 30-45 minutes earlier now. It gives me a good perk and seems to help with overall focus and clear thinking throughout the day. My running times have also improved since taking, but I am not exactly sure it can be attributed to the green drink. I am going to keep taking this daily.

I used the http://www.vitacost.com/amazing-grass-organic-wheat-grass-powder in the past... need to get back to it though the memory of the taste is givingm e some reservation...

I keep coconut Water in the home, maybe I will try mixing it with that...and a few lemon slices....

That is good that you mentioned mixing the grass drink with coconut water. I do the same thing, but mix with pineapple / coconut flavor. It makes the drink much tastier then the default hay / mint flavor and adds a little "zest". Good thinking!

I am noting the same things you are about focus and sleep. My energy level is up I believe. I find myself looking forward to my morning green blast. I feel an addiction coming on,... this shall continue.

I'm going to look into this Grass green, sounds like you all are having great results from it..thanks for the info..

You probably mentioned it, but what flavors do you like best......original, chocolate, or goji acai? This has perked my interest and I REALLy need a way for more veggies and fruits without the calories! I think that my non-sleeved skinny husband could use the added benefits of sleeping well also!

Thanks for all the advice you all give!

I have only tried the original flavor. The taste is not that great and definitely makes me think I must be a horse or cow who munches on alfalfa. However, after a squirt or two of Water flavor ( see post above), I am golden. Maybe next time I order, I will have to try out chocolate or acai. I used yo be a big fan of drinking acai juice a few years ago when it was really popular. Very refreshing.
