At first I tried this mixed up in a glass of water. Not tasty! Could barely tolerate it. It was also kind of lumpy. So next day I decided to mix it up in a blender so it would be smoother. It was, but still not very tasty. Then I thought, since I've got the blender going anyway, maybe adding a banana will improved things. It did. But it needed another. And then I thought, how about some flaxseed for a bit of texture and crunch. Well, I kept adding things until it became an absolutely delicious shake. I now make this regularly. In fact, I'm drinking some now as I type this.

(Remember to chew the flax bits for best nutrient absorption.)

PERFECT FOOD BANANA-FLAX SHAKE

Filtered water
1 heaping Tbs Perfect Food green powder
2 Tbs organic flax seed
2 Tbs Nutiva organic Hempseed
2 Tbs Nutiva organic unrefined Coconut oil
Orange peel--from 1/6th of an organic orange
Himalayan pink salt - a few dashes to taste
3 ripe bananas

Mix it all up in a blender till flax & orange peel are smooth. Very yummy. Bright green. Delicious!

I just saw there is now a raw version of the Perfect Food--I'm going to check that out next.

I really like the idea of this powder, and in my younger days was very good about drinking a glass a day (mixed with water and chugged down.) I thought I would try to get back into it, but have left it sitting on my shelf for over a year now, 3/4 full. For those who make smoothies allready, you can throw in a half scoop to a strong, like berry or cherry, smoothie and not notice much. The taste is... like bitter grass. It smells fresh and wholesome. The texture is my downfall. It is gritty and thick. But for all my complaining :), it is chock full of great things and a great alternative for those who don't eat enough veggies, and I will give myself a kick and keep using it because it is worth it! But if you can't handle icky, don't even try it.

THis stuff is awesome - it's comprehensive nutrition in a decent tasting easy to use powder. I put it in my smoothie every morning!

I've been using this product a year ago and the colds went far, never again! wonderful replacement for the greens.
