A foodie blogger that I've followed for awhile now has always ranted and raved about this stuff called Amazing Grass Green Superfood. She claims and it just makes me feel amazing, gives her tons of energy, etc etc. She posted pictures of herself drinking this bright green looking toxic water and I thought she was crazy. A cup of good coffee makes me feeling amazing, gives me tons of energy, etc...No green necessary.
This weekend B and I were talking about being healthy (keyword: talking about...while on our way to a pasta filled dinner) and these "green products" came up. Not Al Gore green but green as in...the color. I picked up the Chocolate Amazing Grass Green Superfood yesterday, bought a blender at Target and spent the night making smoothies. It took a few tries to get the proportions right but this stuff...is delicious. I'm hooked. If it's as good for you as everyone claims, I'll gladly drink my large Tervis full everyday. I used 1 frozen banana (hint: let them get fairly brown on the counter before freezing, the banana flavor is stronger when you blend it up than if you use a fresh banana), 2 big tablespoons of peanut butter, a big scoop of green powder, 1 cup of crushed ice, 1/2 a cup or so of fat free milk. I'm hooked! I'll let you know how I feel after drinking it for about a week.
I read Eat, Run, Live's blog a lot, and she raves about it. I have been wanting to hear what others thought before I bought some. Good to know you like it, I might order some now.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this stuff!!! I have it every day!
ReplyDeleteHave never heard of this stuff. Going to have to check into it more. I just got a blender for Xmas so that I too can make smoothies.
ReplyDeleteanything taste better in a tervis tumbler! I'll have to try it...
ReplyDeleteNow I know what you were talking about on Twitter yesterday...Can't wait to hear what you think in a week and I may just be buying some myself.
ReplyDeleteI wonder...Does it help lose weight or just give you energy?
ReplyDeleteI have been reading Eat, Live, Run for some time and actually bought the amazing meal and amazing grass products a while ago. We were hooked!! drank them everyday for a few months and then got burnt out. Oh well once it warms up we will be going back to them:)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy it at?
ReplyDeleteooh yes please do...this sounds like something I would die!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to buy it today, sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good. Where did you get it from?
ReplyDeleteLike everyone said - where can this be purchased and how much? I have been looking for something to add a little pep in my step for the mornings. Sounds like something hubby might like too!
ReplyDeleteWow...I didn't know that you could get a chocolate flavor of the superfood! I have about two more weeks before I can start working out after having my baby. I'm going hard core on a clean diet then so I'll have to give this stuff a try! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeing a full time nursing student and interning at he hospital often leaves me DRAGGGGGGGGING! I am going to give this a spin! Thanks GRITS!
ReplyDeleteHmm! I'm intrigued! Can't wait to find out what you think about it after a few!! If it's as magical as it sounds...I might jump on the bandwagon!
ReplyDeleteI have the same Tervis! I love it. And Im curious too as to where to get this!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really good! I'm going to have to check this stuff out.
ReplyDeleteOh please keep us updated. I am seriously interested... but scared. I am so particular about how smoothies taste.
ReplyDeleteI am interested to see what you think after a week. I will definitely be checking back! Can't beat something that is healthy and gives you a boost!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ps. Thanks the the sweet comment you left on my blog- and your prayers too!
Sounds interesting! Don't forget to update on this because I definitely want to know about your energy level. I can't drink coffee and I'm always tired - a pick-me-up would be great!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you like it...I've been wondering about the "green" drinks. Is this the same stuff that I've seen at Whole Foods?
ReplyDeleteYou really do have a great blog here. I have a blog myself which brings inspiration and guidance to people all around the world. Life is hard enough, and I hope my site can contribute anything positive to someone's day.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to exchange links with you to help spread some traffic around between each other. Please let me know if this is possible. Until then, keep up the good work.

I am a longtime "lurker" -- a reader, but have never had a blog of my own. I've enjoyed reading your blog over the past few months and I just wanted to invite you over to read my story: http://howimetyourfatherblog.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteyikes i am not so sure but I do love your blog. Just found it and now a bona fide follower! ha!
ReplyDeleteI've read about this on Eat Live Run and wanted to try it out. I think I'll have to after your rave review! How long do you think a container might last?
ReplyDeleteI've never tried the superfood so I'll have to try it...but I couldn't NOT say something about the fact that you have the 24 oz Tervis. Those things are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteWe def need an update on this for sure! I think it sounds like a great way to fit in all of the extra vitamins that I miss out on!
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious to hear how it's going! Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteSo how does it taste with out the banana? I'm not a banana fan.
ReplyDeleteDid this stuff kill you??????
ReplyDeleteYou haven't posted in ages!!!!
:-)
I recently tried NMartha Stewarts, "Healthy Liveing" 28 days to a better me, and detoxed for 4 days and one of the dringks used almond butter...It is terrific...try it in place of the Peanut Butter. You'll LoVe it!
ReplyDeleteMiss Kara
We drink some similar green stuff. We usually just add water and grin and bare it! This shake recipe sounds great though! Hope you don't mind that I linked this post to my Healthy Wife, Healthy Life post today!
