    Amazing Grass Green SuperFood is a Dairy-Free Whole Food Drink Supplement

    11
    By Alisa Fleming on October 17, 2014 Product Reviews, Product Reviews: Supplements and Skincare

    Amazing? Why yes it is. But to be honest, after sampling numerous drink powders, from protein-packed to supplement-worthy, it is still hard for me to pinpoint the exact qualities that make this product so awesome. Perhaps it really is all of the raw organic greens that they pack into Amazing Grass Green SuperFood powder: wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spirulina, spinach, chlorella, and broccoli!

    Amazing Grass Green SuperFood is Dairy-Free and … well, Amazing!

    Amazing Grass Green SuperFood isn’t protein powder. In fact, there are only 25 to 30 calories per serving. And it isn’t a vitamin supplement (update: some of the flavors do now have vitamin & mineral infusions, too). It’s a raw, vegan whole food supplement with the aforementioned powdered greens, powdered antioxidant-rich foods (like organic acai and green tea), fiber (from oats, flax seed, and more), digestive enzymes, prebiotics and probiotics.

    To keep it minimally processed and “raw”, Amazing Grass utilizes a very low temperature dehydration process that ensures the antioxidant and phytonutrient power remains intact. As an added bonus, it contains no added sweeteners, yet the powders have natural light sweetness to them. Here are the ingredients and nutrition facts for the Original, as a sample.

    Amazing Grass Green SuperFood Reviews and Info - Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Soy-free, Raw, Vegan, Whole FoodIngredients: amazing grass green food blend (organic wheat grass, organic barley grass, organic alfalfa, organic spinach, organic spirulina, organic chlorella (cracked cell-wall) and organic broccoli), amazing grass antioxidant blend (organic rose hips, organic pineapple, organic carrot, acerola cherry, green tea, organic acai, organic beet, raspberry and organic maca), efa fiber blend (organic flax seed powder and apple pectin fiber), digestive enzyme & active culture pre/probiotic blend, (f.o.s. (fructooligosaccharide from chicory root) and probiotic enzyme blend (lactobacillus acidophilus, portease (aspergillus oryzae), amylase (aspergillus oryzae), lipase (aspergillusniger), lactase (aspergillus oryzae) and cellulase (trichoderma reesei))

    Tasting Notes for Amazing Grass Green SuperFood

    Amazing Grass Green SuperFood also comes is a myriad of flavors. Thus far, I’ve sampled and taken notes on all of the following.

    Chocolate

    Merely opening the handy canister of the Chocolate flavor created a strong first impression. The fine powder was pleasant in appearance and my nose was immediately met with the most delightful, rich chocolate scent. As my official introduction to Amazing Grass Green SuperFood, I decided to run the chocolate version through a few tests:

    Trial #1 – Chocolate SuperFood “Milk”: Giving in to a touch of sugar, I sampled a glass of plain rice milk (possessing a bit of evaporated cane juice) with a scoop of this Superfood. This was definitely a winning drink, and much closer to an “instant breakfast” experience than many other powdered supplements. It dissolved quite thoroughly in my drink with only a slight powdery finish. I could easily see myself polishing off the entire canister in an instant rice beverage fashion, but…

    Trial #2 – The SuperFood Shake: …I was still holding out hope for some no added sugar goodness. Into my blender went 1 frozen banana, 2/3 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk, 2 tablespoons almond butter, and 1 serving Chocolate Amazing Grass Green SuperFood. It was wonderful! The Superfood actually took my typical smoothie up a small notch, creating a rich chocolate flavor that the chocolate almond milk was unable to sustain alone.

    Trial #3 – The Slim SuperFood Smoothie: Omitting the almond butter in the shake above turned out to be an excellent option for my last minute pre-workout breakfast. I was able to down this tasty concoction just a half hour before my workout; I didn’t sustain a single side cramp, and I had enough energy to keep me going until I arrived home. All in all, it was just 150 calories or so, just a few small grams of fat, and a load of nutrients.

    Berry

    Within minutes of receiving the Berry (Acai+ Goji)canister, I busted it open and dished a scoop into some ice cold water for both my husband and I. We had just finished our workout, so its arrival couldn’t have been more timely. I really didn’t expect much, since healthy drink powders with no added sugars aren’t usually the stuff dreams are made of … but, it wasn’t bad. It had a slightly sweet yet mellow berry flavor that I had no trouble polishing off. My husband said it tasted “wheaty, but not bad,” as he downed the entire glass. Trust me, the fact that he even finished it is high praise from my greens-hating husband. When consumed this way, the powder did tend to settle, but a few shakes as I gulped away kept it in the mix.

    Like the Chocolate, I prefer the Berry Amazing Grass Green SuperFood as a smoothie perfecter, rather than a pure greens drink. One heaping scoop of the Berry adds brightness and just enough flavor to push my smoothie into yum. My current favorite smoothie for using the Berry SuperFood is this Amazing Pom-Mango Smoothie.

    Pineapple Lemongrass Multivitamin

    At long last I’ve found a refreshing flavor of Amazing Grass Green SuperFood that I love straight up with water! The Pineapple Lemongrass has the same amazing base ingredients, but the light, citrus notes made it pleasing as is. This is a winner for a delightful afternoon pick-me-up.

    Lemon-Lime Energy

    Though I still prefer the berry and chocolate flavor-wise, the Lemon-Lime Energy actually has a slightly sweet taste that adds some spring to my smoothies. As for that high energy infusion … I didn’t even notice a taste of matcha or yerba mate (thank goodness) but I did notice an almost immediate boost in my energy!

    I first sampled it straight (with ice water) after a high energy workout. I was fatigued, but a scoop of this powder perked me up and actually kept me going long enough to make a nice dinner. Reportedly, caffeine (this boasts 85mg per serving) also helps with muscle recovery.

    Nonetheless, like all Amazing Grass Green Superfood powders (thus far, read on…), I prefer it in smoothies rather than straight-up. For my first Lemon-Lime smoothie trial, it was morning, I was tired, and my stomach wasn’t yet awake. I chose a light blend of 1 cup watermelon, a handful of sliced frozen strawberries, a wee bit of water, and a scoop of Amazing Grass Green Superfood. Wow, not only did it taste great and go down easily, but it woke me right up! My brain felt sharper and I was ready to take on the day. I am not someone who can usually tolerate caffeine, but the overall blend seemed to work for me without creating the jitters or a corresponding crash.

    I was happy to see that the Lemon-Lime is in their Shaker Sampler Cup (love this cup!), because some people might not think to try it otherwise.

    Amazing is the perfect word for this greens-packed supplement. Though raw, vegan, and packed with nutrient-dense foods, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes and more, it’s surprisingly delicious in smoothies or dairy-free yogurt.

      Hi Jenny,

      I purchased the Cacao Chocolate Infusion mix and combined that with Almond Milk. I am both gluten free and dairy free as I am allergic. A few minutes after I drank about half of the drink, I started having an allergic reaction. I’m thinking it might be either the Lactase or the Natural Chocolate Flavoring that was the cause. Did research but haven’t been able to confirm either one. Any suggestions?

      Thanks.

      • Alisa Fleming on March 2, 2017 8:34 am

        Hi Marie, sorry for my delay! Lactase is actually the digestive enzyme to help digest lactose – it isn’t dairy at all. Amazing Grass is known for being a dairy-free product. However, they do use wheat grass, which many in the celiac community still feel is problematic. I couldn’t weigh in on that as I’m not extremely knowledgeable in that area. Regardless, you should definitely reach out to them directly and let them know that you had a reaction! They would be the ones who could help you. I don’t work for them.

      Hi- I love the Green Superfoods Powder. I bought it at Costco and have been making a shake every morning. I have a question if I am overdoing it though. I put a handful of spinach, almond milk, ice, scoop of green superfoods, and a scoop of Vega Protein and Greens vanilla protein smoothie mix, and a half of an avacado then blend. Is this way too many veggies, vitamins, and minerals? I haven’t even thought about it until my friend made a comment this morning. I love the taste. What are your thoughts?

      • Alisa Fleming on January 21, 2016 3:31 pm

        Hi Jenny, sounds yummy, but I would have no idea on what would be your max limit for vitamins and minerals. You might want to contact Amazing Grass to ask if they have info on this or ask your physician.

      I really like this stuff, & though I prefer to juice the product myself this is a great stand in when you don’t have the time or money to juice your own. I mix it with 1/2 water & 1/2 bottled juice with a tbsp of acv & just love it.

      • Alisa Fleming on May 11, 2015 7:34 pm

        Thanks for sharing your tip – I haven’t tried it with apple cider vinegar!

    5. Sarah-Jane on October 18, 2014 6:18 pm

      I think the smoothies are just wonderful. Prefer it with fruit. Love that it does not contain any sugar. Thanks for wonderful recipes. Go ‘grass green!’.

      Can you help me find a wheat and glutin free green drink, please!

      • Alisa Fleming on August 13, 2012 9:50 am

        Hi Jennifer, I recommend My Vega or Amazing Grass. My Vega has several options that are made without barley grass or wheatgrass, if those are your concerns. Most specifically “green” drinks will use wheatgrass, but you can make your own with ease by simply adding spinach, kale or other greens to a smoothie.
