Of course you remember my post and video on Amazing Grass Green Superfood Powders. My family is in love with the products we have tried thus far, if you couldn’t guess from the enthusiastic video. Not long after I posted I got an email from the founder of Amazing Grass, thanking me for the video and the review and he asked if he could send me a box of goodies. Why of course you can! I hit the Amazing Grass Jackpot… wahoo!
I got packets of Amazing Grass meals infusions, different wheat grass flavors, some nifty BPA free cups so I can just mix the powder in juice or water and go, and several Green Superfood energy bars. I picked out a bright orange packet for my first foray… opting to have a green smoothie with Pomegranate Mango Infusion in it. It is an AMAZING (does any other word apply) breakfast smoothie IMO. The powder is a blend of protein and superfoods that are supposed to give you energy. It is organic, raw, gluten free, vegan, soy free, and dairy free.
What’s in it? Hemp Protein Powder, Rice Protein Greens Blend, Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, Kale, Alfalfa Antioxidant Fruit & Vegetable Blend, Acai, Carrot, Blueberry, Goji, Rose Hips, Maca, Banana, Flax Seed Powder, and a digestive enzyme blend.
Is is super filling and yes, it gives you a wonderful energy boost. The flavor is insanely delicious too. I hate to admit it but I was starting to get a bit burnt out on green smoothies… Amazing Grass has rekindled the flame and got me back on track.
For breakfast: 2 cups of Kale (cut), a big handful of frozen strawberries, a banana, a half cup of fresh orange juice, water, and Pomegranate Mango Infusion. It was a little grainy but it was so delicious I devoured 2 glasses before I even noticed. The Pomegranate Mango powder will now have a reserved space in my fridge next to my other Amazing Grass canisters.
Good for you for hitting the Amazing Grass Jackpot!!
Your post just reminded me that I’ll have to go to my HFS and ask them to order this stuff in. I too, am getting tired of the same ‘ol tasting green smoothies, though I know how good they are for me. It would be nice to change it up once in a while… especially if I can get my kids drinking them too!
That’s awesome!!!! Cha-ching!!!
Cheers XOXO,

Do you have an opinion on if this would be safe to take while preggers?
I see no reason why it would be unsafe. Take a sample packet from Whole Foods to your doctor and ask if he or she sees any red flags but I doubt it. It is sourced from whole foods.
Also I would think this would be safer than a prenatal vitamin as those are made with synthetic vitamins and chemcials.
woah that’s awesome! I bought some on your recommendation. I too was wondering if about some of the ingredients, like maca, for a nursing mom. Also I was comparing the ingredients w/ the kids version and there were some differences. So I was wondering if there is anything I shouldn’t be feeding the 3yo. (He shares my smoothies.) I just got one container of the chocolate version so try. I too was getting burned out on the green smoothies and this is spicing things up. :)
I have been using Amazing Grass products for months now, and I LOVE their products! I love that they are adding more, too!
My experience with Maca is that it is safe while nursing. I have added Maca powder to my smoothies for several months and have enjoyed the Amazing Grass products with no ill effects (only positive changes!) to me or my daughter.
you can be assured that all of the ingredients in Amazing Grass’ products are safe and good for you during all stages of life! The nutrition in a smoothie or drink with Amazing Grass is supercharged!
I also make “green lemonade”- I get a big liter bottle and add a tsp of bee pollen, a tsp of ginger, a scoop of Amazing Grass Green SuperFood, fresh lemon juice, agave nectar and fill with cold water. This is so alcalizing and refreshing, and my daughter loves it!
I just got a shipment in from Amazing Grass and am experimenting with the Kids WildBerry and the Wheatgrass- the Green SuperFood, Chocolate SuperFood, Chocolate Amazing Meal and Chocolate bars are staples in my house already. If you go to their website, http://www.amazinggrass.com there is a ton of info about their products. even though I have been using them for months, it was still very insightful to check out their website!
There are not too many products that I go crazy about, but the line from Amazing Grass is one that I won’t run out of!
