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 … [Read more...]
