Review: Berry Green Green Drink

This product, while on the expensive side, is almost completely without fillers of any kind. It contains just a bit of brown rice solids, but otherwise, it’s pure functional. It features spinach and other healthy veggie powders (kale, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts), plus fruit powders like blueberry, cranberry, pomegranate and papaya. Check out this article for a complete review of Berry Green...

Review: Vitamineral Green


New Formulation
One of the best green superfood drinks is now a bit better with a new, updated formulation that provides more nutrition for the same price — and enhances the taste for better combining with juices, chocolates, or milks. The new formulation has some added greens, including basil leaf, moringa leaf (a super botanical from India that helps purify the blood, calm the nerves and much more), yacon leaf (detoxing and sweetness without sugar), and alma berry. It also has a few extra seaweeds, which gives the product a wider variety of nutrients. In all, Vitamineral Green now has a more robust formulation and a better flavor.

Review: Juvo

Juvo has a unique an interesting formulation that, I think, you need to try for yourself and see if it works for you. The mixture is fairly heavy in grains (millet, rice solids, various beans), which act as filler and also provide some cleansing action and some protein. Once you get beyond this, the mixture starts looking interesting — with a healthy dose of veggies...

Review: Delicious Greens 8000

A good mixture with healthy amounts of greens (spirulina, chlorella and barley grass), vegetable powders (carrot, broccoli, spinach and others), and anti-oxidants (fruits, beet root, milk thistle, pomegranate, green tea and more). The formula is very similar to Antioxidant Natural Greens (see link and compare), which has more flax meal and is, consequently, less expensive. The flax provides Omega-3 fatty acids, but also creates more bulk in the mixture, which lowers the manufacturing cost. Overall, this is a good mixture, but it seems a bit expensive for what you get.

Review: Greens Pak

Greens Pak offers a fairly typical mixture of greens (grasses and spirulina), veggie powders (carrot, broccoli, spinach juices) and special herbs (in this case grouped into an “antioxidant blend” including milk thistle, red beet root and aloe vera leaf powders). There are good amounts of all of these blends and a good amount of filler, which is Lecithin in this case. The product comes in handy, single-serving packs, but the serving size is only 7.5 grams, about half of what other brands suggest.
