Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass Powder - 100% Whole-Leaf Superfood for Energy Boost, Detox & Immune Support | Rich in Chlorophyll & Nutrients | 60 Servings | Perfect for Smoothies, Juices & Daily Wellness Routine

I've been continuously using Amazing Grass for about one year.Amazing Grass is finely ground wheat grass, which differs from powdered wheat grass juice. (The latter is manufactured by first squeezing wheat grass to make juice, at which point the juice is freeze-dried to produce a powder.)Instead of mixing one full serving (8 g) of Amazing Grass in a glass of water, I only use half (4 g). This results in a diluted solution, which may improve drink-ability for those who aren't fond of the taste. To get a full 8 g serving of Amazing Grass per day, I drink one glass of the diluted solution in the morning and one glass before bed.Even at full strength, however, Amazing Grass doesn't taste too bad. That said, it's not something that most people would drink on a regular basis if they didn't think there were health benefits.The only other green drinks I've tried are Source Naturals Yaeyama Chlorella and Green Magma. My highest ranking for taste would be Green Magma, which has the most neutral taste profile. (Though it's been a while since I've had it, so my recollection is not too clear.) Tied for second place would be Amazing Grass and Source Naturals Yaeyama Chlorella, both palatable yet differing in taste profiles. To oversimplify a bit, Amazing Grass tastes like the farm and Source Naturals Yaeyama Chlorella tastes like the sea.I keep my Amazing Grass in the freezer, and regularly transfer a few weeks worth of servings to a resealable bag so I don't need to repeatedly open the product container and let air in.I haven't noticed any increase in energy from drinking Amazing Grass.In fact, it sometimes feels like I have lower energy several hours after drinking it. I have no idea why this would be the case. My only theory is that it could be interfering with the absorption of my iron pills, which I take regularly to manage chronic anemia.Amazing Grass does not have an appreciable effect on my bowel movements, besides imparting a greenish color. The amount of fiber in Amazing Grass doesn't seem to be significant relative to my total daily fiber intake, but your mileage may vary.(Note: I've also read that green drinks may help reduce body odor, but I don't have any way to objectively measure this for myself.)So basically, I can't present a rational explanation of why I drink Amazing Grass, which is why I'm not sure if I will continue to do so.In the past, I've looked at it like an insurance policy, to ensure that I'm consuming at least some "green foods". However, relying on a supplement like this may have the effect of reducing the amount of nutritionally complete whole foods in one's diet. Perhaps a more reasonable alternative is to buy one of the newfangled blenders that can turn vegetables and fruit into healthy smoothies. (I personally use a NutriBullet, and I'm fairly happy with it.)There is one clear benefit of drinking Amazing Grass, though, which is that I'm consuming more water. I find it difficult to drink the amount of water that's generally recommended, so it's nice to have that extra glass in the morning and before bed.An updated product label advertises a "finer grind", which hasn't made it any easier to mix, as far as I can tell. That said, I think the new finer grind imparts a slightly less grainy mouth feel.The 17 oz size container is tall and somewhat narrow, making it difficult to reach the last bit of wheat grass at the bottom using the short scooper that's included. I suggest pouring some water into the container and shaking it to get one last serving's worth.Even though I'm not sold on it's benefits, I give Amazing Grass four stars because I think it's a quality product, and the manufacturer doesn't seem to be making any outlandish claims or promises. For an alternative that's formulated to be a more complete nutritional supplement, and one with a high Amazon customer rating and broad appeal, I would suggest giving the popular Green Superfood (by Amazing Grass) a try.
