Athletic Greens Ultimate Daily Superfood Powder - Whole Food Sourced Greens Supplement, Gluten-Free, Vegan & Keto Friendly, 360g (30 Day Supply) - Boost Energy & Immunity for Active Lifestyles

Great product. Very pricey product.Great product, great taste. In just two days my digestive health has improved significantly. No more bloat! But, I paid almost double what I would pay if I had bought direct.I Love this drink. I could drink it 4 or 5 times a day easily possibly more, though admittedly I am not sure if drinking that much is TOO much of a good thing because of all of the vitamins in it. I made the original purchase for weight control but can not comment on that yet as I have not taken it long enough. I have lost about 5 pounds but not sure if it is the drink or other things that I have implemented in my day (like additional walking and cutting out certain foods I know I am addicted to.) I know I do not get near enough fruits and vegetables in my diet so this is what prompted the purchase. I have had several green drinks in years past and ultimately go off of them because of the taste. Anyone who has tasted some of these know what I mean. I was skeptical about Athletic Greens, first because of the price and second because I felt it really would not be any different, however the many positive reviews made me go for it. All I can say is that I was pleasantly surprised. The taste is almost creamy in texture and you can taste the slight undertone of the good healthy chocolate that they use. It has absolutely no grassy taste. I also love the fact that I need to add nothing to it (like protein powders), so this has made it great for me to take to work. I have my shaker bottle and a container with some of the powder in my drawer so when I want one, I just measure out the spoonful, add my cold water shake it up and drink. Since it is recommended to keep it refrigerated after you open it, this is why I just keep a days worth in my desk drawer. The bag stays at home in the fridge. It has kept me from eating protein bars and other not so good things during the day. Because it is loaded with good stuff, I wanted my husband to drink it daily as well. He is fine with drinking it just once a day, for the health benefits but he did say he actually liked it. Now for the down side, I started drinking it at least 2 times and sometime 3. This is mostly because I am using it to replace my rather unhealthy coffee drink that I became addicted to. Even for the short time I have been on Athletic Greens (about 3 weeks), I have had no coffee nor any desire for it. With both my husband and I drinking it at our current pace, one bag will last less than a month (a whole lot less if I don't stop drinking it more than twice a day!). At the current price, I need at least 2 bags for the month, so we are looking at over $250.00. This is a little steep for retired folks. I know the theory is that you are saving money in groceries, so maybe it will just take some creative budgeting on my part. All I know is I really hate to give it up. I will be honest and say because my bag is just about empty, and I did not want to lose any ground with the benefits I believe my body has received from this drink, I just purchased another brand that I got a 5 month supply for what ONE month of the Athletic Greens cost me. It is due at my home in a couple of day, and I suspect it will not taste the same, but the google search has it in the number 2 place after Athletic Greens in taste and nutrients, so guess I will see. Bottom Line is, if you can afford Athletic Greens I would definitely recommend it. I am going to do what I can to purchase it when possible. Yes, I am no longer addicted to coffee, but now I think I just replaced it with another addiction (albeit a much healthier one).I wish this stuff wasn't so expensive, but I really love it. For many years, I used Green Vibrance powder daily and reaped the health benefits. It tasted nasty--sort of what you'd expect pond scum to maybe taste like---but I chugged it down fast because, despite the yucky taste, I liked the energy it gave me from all the alkalizing green stuff and the fact that I just never get sick (go probiotics!). I try to eat an alkalizing diet (I feel fantastic when I do!), but the reality is that it doesn't always happen despite my best intentions. So alkalizing green superfood powder in a shaker cup to the rescue!Taste is a big positive about this green superfood powder by Athletic Greens, but definitely not the only important thing. I was happy to find that it doesn't taste horrible even when just mixed in my shaker cup with water. In all honesty, though, it doesn't exactly taste fabulous--as in, "I can't wait to drink this!!"-- either. But they've added enough natural flavorings (powders of papaya, broccoli, cherry, pineapple, carrot, and natural vanilla) that it's pleasantly drinkable.At first I balked at buying Athletic Greens because of the price. I still feel like it's considerably overpriced in comparison to the many other options for green superfood powders on the market, but I also feel like it's a pretty significant notch above the others out there. Before buying for the first time, I checked out their website to see why people were willing to spend extra for it. Their site provides lots of info on what's in it and why and the benefits of whole food supplementation versus chemical-based vitamins and supplements.Besides the high-nutrient and alkalizing content of this raw superfood powder with its antioxidants, enzymes, super mushroom complex, and probiotics -- a daily scoop of it offers a pretty comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals, too. Since switching over to Athletic Greens, I've stopped taking the multivitamin I'd been using and have been feeling great.The packaging and website recommend one scoop per day or two scoops for those people who exercise strenuously. Although I do a very hard 1-2 hour workout every day, I can't justify the added expense of a second daily scoop of Athletic Greens. Instead, I usually mix a second scoop of another less-expensive brand of green powder (like Green Vibrance or Amazing Grasses' Alkalizing option) to my shaker cup along with a scoop of the Athletic Greens. The better taste of the Athletic Greens helps to mask the less pleasant taste of their competitors' powders. Of course, you can also add the powder to a smoothie rather than just mixing with water (but, depending on the other ingredients in your smoothie, you may not get the full alkalizing benefits).Besides all the excellent nutritional and alkalizing health benefits of Athletic Greens, I'm really happy with their probiotic blend -- Lactobacillus Acidophilus (non-dairy) 3.6 Billion CFU and Bifidobacterium Bifidum (non-dairy) 3.6 Billion CFU. Since 70-80% of our immunity is in our gut, a good probiotic is very important.If "better taste" was the only thing that I liked better about Athletic Greens over other brands, I'd skip buying it and continue to chug down the less-expensive, nasty-tasting stuff I'd been using. But, besides taste, it offers much, much more than other brands and I like the way I feel when using it.Highly nutrient dense and taste well. I usually add with lemon. No longer have constipation problem and helps with energy. My second drink early in the morning after some warm water with lemon juice. I can feel my digestion system improve a lot. The downside is price but i guess you get for what you pay for.Great thank you
