We want the best when it comes to our food. Why would we want anything different for our vitamins and supplements?
We are fanatical about food. We’re different that way. Whether we’re making a vitamin, or a probiotic, or a protein powder, we always start with real foods and these (foods) provide our formulas the power to be their best. We’re different that way, too. The synthetically created, chemical “breakthroughs” from huge commercial laboratories around the world are not for us.
As fanatical as we are over what goes into our products, we are even more obsessed about the things we keep out of them. We hate those synthetic chemicals that most companies use to make their products. This stuff makes machines work faster, and helps factories churn out super-sized containers at higher “efficiency.” We’re uncompromising about your health. Slow it down, make it by hand, grow it in rich soil with enough sun, air, water and time for it to be its best. Harvest it when ready. Treat it with care. Turn it into a power-packed nutritious food supplement. That’s what we are about.

The Science of Whole FoodYour body was created to eat, process, and derive its nutrition from food—real, healthy food. So, when we create our products, we start by looking at food. What is the “good stuff” in quality food that we are missing in our diets? Which of those foods have the greatest potential to impact—and empower—extraordinary health? |
Clean is healthyWe start with what goes IN our products—true, whole food ingredients. But we don’t stop there. We also pay very close attention to what we keep OUT of them. And once again, we look at food—real nutrition food. When is the last time you picked up an apple, turned to read the ingredients, and saw a list of chemicals? If it’s not in your food, then we don’t want it in our supplements. |
TraceabilityTraceability is key to what makes Garden of Life’s products so special. Traceability starts with knowing where each and every ingredient in our products comes from and getting to know each and every source: where it’s grown; the farming practices; how they pay and treat the farm workers—everything. That’s why it’s so important to start with fruits and vegetables that are grown without these chemicals. We want to get the good stuff from foods that are grown without any of the bad stuff. |

I add the unflavored to my morning protein smoothie and other that having a green shake it is very good. No stevia which actually was a selling point. All in all I like it very well. It has loads of good things to enhance my nutrition.

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!

EDIT: I added an extra star as I found an easier way to fix the flavor. I add 1/4 t vitamin C powder per serving. The extra acid completely resolves the cloying sweetness. It’s still sweet, but in a much more pleasant mellow way. I have yet to try the original flavor, but I would consider buying the Apple flavor again.I wanted to buy the plain version, but they were out. The apple version is disgustingly sweet (why do they always make things so sweet?!!! Health supplement consumers are not sugar addicts!). I am able to finish the jar by adding the juice of a whole lemon to each drink (1 scoop). Fortunately I have a lemon tree just outside my door. It’s not an ideal solution but helps a lot. Otherwise the product seems good, and the flavor (minus the sweetness) is fine. Smells fresh, which is what is probably the most important factor in a product like this. I will repurchase when the plain is available.

I workout daily, eat very clean, (anti inflammatory diet), and make protein shakes after my workouts. I started doing my own finger pricks and using tests from Everlywell type places and it took FOREVER to get the blood amount needed. I had been told in the past my blood was thick. I started doing reading on what I could do to thin my blood a little. I definitely do not want a blood clot! While i don’t think this is a total cure, since adding this to my shakes I’ve taken blood tests and it’s become a lot easier to get the amount of blood needed. It’s not dripping uncontrollably (as in very thin), but it’s not as thick as it was before adding this to my shakes. I’ve also noticed more energy, skin is clearer and my vitamin levels are better!I looked at a lot of brands, a lot, and I decided to get this one for a few reasons. I’ve had good luck with the brand Garden of Life. I know their products are clean and do not come with added fillers. The list of digestive enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, and other items were more than other brands. The only items I wish it had that some other green juices include is moringa, Spirulina, chlorophyll and chlorella. Instead, I add these separately.I got the chocolate flavor. Alone I am not a fan at all. When added to my shake I can still taste it a little but not as much. I’m not a fan of the flavor. If I were to take this alone I’d definitely get the original.

I have been using Garden of Life Green Superfood supplement for several years. I try to have it everyday…or at least every other day (because this stuff gets expensive!!). I have also used the Alkalyzing and Detoxifying blend and I like both of them just fine. I usually use the superfood powder in conjunction with Vega One Protein & Greens in the chocolate flavor. In the three or so years that I have been using this product and having my smoothie almost everyday, I think I’ve been sick–maybe–twice. And both times it was a fairly minor head cold. That’s it. If I miss my smoothie for a few days, my body will tell me so. I can feel the difference. This stuff is just that good.I have seen a lot of reviews that complain about the taste. I have developed a recipe with this stuff that is delicious and I am happy to share…I have a Ninja and I just use the single serving smoothie cups that came with it. I start with half a BANANA, a few chunks of PINEAPPLE (fresh or frozen–I mostly use fresh. It’s a pain in the ass, but in the long run it’s cheaper to chop and freeze it yourself), then I throw in a few frozen whole STRAWBERRIES. Then I fill the cup with CRANBERRY JUICE almost to the fill line. Blend all that together first. Then open the lid and add your greens powder (and in my case, protein powder as well–I always use chocolate. Really hate the vanilla.)Blend it all together one more time and your smoothie is done. Takes a grand total of about 6 minutes. And it’s really good. the cranberry juice has enough punch to mask the “greens” flavor so that it’s not bad. And the pineapple gives it a sweetness. For me the taste is very refreshing. Don’t get me wrong, you can still tell that there’s green stuff in your glass, but it’s not harsh at all and your palate will easily adapt. Taste was one of my initial concerns when I started several years ago, I knew that if I didn’t like it, there was no way I’d stick with it. More than 3 years later, I’m still drinking my vegetables almost every single day and I love it. For variations on flavor…cherries are good, raspberries, blueberries. I like the mix of strawberry and mango as well. But no matter what berries I use, I’ve always got three base ingredients: Banana (gives it a smooth consistency), pineapple (just adds a fresh, zesty sweetness to the flavor), and cranberry juice (masks the “greens” flavor). Trust me, this works. And if you don’t have any bananas on hand, try yogurt. Smooth texture is key. The taste is a little different, but it’s still really good.Hope this helps some folks! Drink your vegetables!

Prefer this to the sweetened version
Tried the stevia version and found it too sweet. Nothing unpleasant with the taste.

Love it!
Both my husband and I have been taken it daily for 4 months and we’ve seen a difference in our overall health, we’re 60 years old and active, we have no issues with the taste at all, we have tried others that were hard to swallow but love this one! We have a small glass jar that contains no more then 8oz (250 ml) so no measuring need it, just add a scoop and shake it, dissolves quickly but you have to drink it right away before it settles, we carry this little jar when we travel, makes it easy peasy, plus I was looking for a powder with NO stevia as it tends to bloat me, so with the probiotics, it’s pretty complete and the price point is good for what you get!

Expensive but quality
The price tag is a bit steep, especially with shipping (northern communities, not free shipping.) The product is quality and mixed with some juice or your drink of choice, is easy to digest. I would definitely buy it again.

Essential ingredient in my smoothies
This is my go-to greens powder. I have a green smoothie every morning to start my day and this powder is an essential ingredient. The taste, while not fabulous, is fine, and it’s so much more reasonably priced on Amazon than anywhere else I’ve found. I have it sent to me under the Subscribe and Save program because I won’t be without it.

Just tried my first scoop
Ok, so most of the reviews are correct. It’s not yummy at all but hopefully I feel good on the inside and outside after some consistency of taking this product. Yes, drink it quickly b/c when it settles it becomes grainy. I also recommend cold water and a straw. I use a hand held coffee frother to blend.it doesn’t taste horrible, it’s definitely drinkable.
