I purchased this because it was the only one I could find without Stevia. I expected a unpalatable flavor, and indeed the smell is reminiscent of an animal farm (kind of a hay or alfalfa scent), but the taste is actually much better than I expected. It’s not tasty, per se, but it’s a subtle and very manageable flavor. I don’t mind drinking it at all. I can’t comment on any effects yet, as I’ve only had it a couple days, but I do appreciate that it feels healthy and gets me to drink water right away in the morning.

I don’t even remember how many times I’ve purchased this, but it’s been a lot. I have this order on auto-ship since it’s become such a staple in my overall diet. I was researching the best greens powders to use and this one kept popping up. The original flavor does not contain any stevia or added sugars and it also contains a variety of different fruits, vegetables, greens, and probiotics.
I mix one scoop into a glass of water with an electric mixer and it breaks up very easily.
It does taste like straight up grass water, but I’ve gotten so accustomed to the taste that it doesn’t even phase me anymore. I actually look forward to it LOL. I’ve read that the flavored ones taste better, but I always buy the original since I don’t want anything with stevia in it (sometimes it can cause bloating).
As for my gut health (which is what I initially bought this for), I do think it helps clear up my stomach. I noticed that it reduced my bloating and made it easier to go to the bathroom. I like to drink it in the morning after I’ve had my water and it makes a huge difference. It also makes me feel refreshed and healthy as well. If you’re in the market for a great greens powder, I would highly recommend this!

I’ve been using the Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Green Superfood Juiced Greens Powder for a while now, and I’m really happy with it. I was a bit skeptical at first about how it would taste, but it’s actually pretty good, especially when I mix it into my morning smoothies. I feel like I’m doing something good for my body every time I have it. It’s packed with nutrients and I’ve noticed a real difference in my energy levels since I started using it regularly. Plus, it’s organic, which is a big plus for me. It’s an easy and tasty way to make sure I’m getting my greens in, even on my busiest days. Definitely a staple in my kitchen now.

Well I am writing this having not experienced the full effects of it yet…I just received it today, and I am drinking it now. I love Garden of Life products, that is why I ordered it and I like everything about what it contains. I mixed a scoop with probably more like 10 oz of water with about 2 oz of almond milk (says to mix with 8 oz water, I don’t measure). Some people will not like the taste I’m sure because it does taste very vegetative, almost like “dirt” but in a good way (if you know what I mean, some will!). It tastes FRESH, to me, and like it’s good for me! hahhaa I like it, it is made with actual cocoa powder and a bit of stevia so I’m sure that helps. It only has 35 calories so should not be used to replace all meals but I will be using it to replace one meal, probably, or even for a snack when I need energy. I will update this tomorrow after also trying it in a smoothie with yogurt, banana, almond milk, coconut oil and ice but without the typical protein powder I use. UPDATING NOW! About an hour after drinking my first try of this stuff, I literally felt an almost surge of energy and good tidings. Really! hahaha sounds silly but I’m not kidding, I haven’t felt this good in a long time, honestly. I can’t wait to see how I feel when I really integrate this into my new eating and lifestyle habits. I don’t have a juicer, can’t afford that. I’m not the most lazy person I know but I am quite often loathe to actually make a raw smoothie with veg and such, and if one bought all these great ingredients separately, even if it was possible to, one would spent a ****ton of money and also have large quantities of product that could go bad. Some would say this is expensive for a not huge container of a powdered drink. I might even have said that, but I took the plunge and ordered it on the strength of Garden of Life’s reputation and my experience with their stuff. Very pleased so far, and it’s only been one day.
UPDATE Dec.21, 2013: Still loving this stuff. I do smoothies with a banana, some yogurt, almond milk, frozen fruit like blueberries, this stuff and a scoop of protein powder. Love it!

I purchased this and was delivered on the 25 of July and is now Aug 17 and I do not have enough to make the rest of the month as stated and using their scoop. It was suppose to last 30 days.

Very good. No sweetness added

This product has made a big difference in our family. We have a teenager who is very picky about which greens he will eat, while the rest of us love everything green. It’s been difficult to add the 3 items he likes: avocado, peas and broccoli into every meal, so he gets some nutrition.
Now, we give him ‘shots’ of this mixed with an organic juice multiple times per day. He’s not a fan of the taste, but tolerates the ‘shots’. Now we can make whatever we want for dinner, and he can eat the vegetables or not & we don’t have to constantly battle and be worried about his nutrition.
I also gave one to my niece because she has 2 toddlers who barely eat enough to survive – especially when they’re sick. Again, mixed with juice, the boys LOVED it! She didn’t exactly follow instructions, but added more and more powder to the juice until the babies developed a taste for it & now they are very excited to have their ‘special green smoothie.’
My husband and I actually like the slightly grassy taste, but I think people should adjust how they prepare it according to taste & figure out a recipe that works for them…Then just drink it more often during the day.

Cheaper version of AG1. Helps to get in your daily required nutrients. Great for busy bodies and smoothie lovers. Even my kids drink it mixed with orange juice.

Not the greatest taste when added to a smoothie .
