This is the only great tasting green supplement I have ever used. I have been using it daily for over a year. It mixes quickly and has no noticeable consistency. It contains Stevia extract, an herb that gives it a clean sweet taste. Greens First is nothing like other "pond" tasting green supplements I have sampled in the past.

This wonderful greens drink has really changed the way my family eats. Because it tastes good, they are not afraid to get the greens in their diet. It's a nice drink in the morning or post-workout. It's also good if you mix it with a protein shake (chocolate or vanilla) for a nice taste. In my opinion, it tastes better whens its really cold. Highly recommend, and it's also highly prescribed by my doctor.

I'm a vegetarian that hates vegetables (go figure). My osteopathic physician was concerned I was not getting enough fruits and veggies in my diet, so she recommended this. Coincidentally the same week I also read an article in Allure magazine where a top-rated NYC dermatologist said she uses and recommends Greens First as a supplement to healthy skin and to fend off the aging process.

That all sounded great, but I was apprehensive this stuff would taste like pond water and was worried I wouldn't be able to stick with it. To my surprise it is great tasting! It has a slightly fruity, slightly minty taste with a hint of sweetness and absolutely no aftertaste. It tastes best with ice cold water and I mix it in a shaker cup with lid. As was recommended, I take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and don't eat or drink anything for 30 minutes afterward. It definitely gives me a little boost of energy and never, ever any stomach upset or side effects.

The best result I've noticed from this product is that I have not had a cold for more than a year (shocking for me!) and my skin looks clearer and healthier than it has in a long time. Greens First is an expensive habit but so long as I keep seeing results and feeling good I'm willing to keep buying it!

Tip: Drink it FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON AN EMPTY STOMACH and be sure to store Greens First in the fridge after opening to preserve all of the nutrients.

We have been using this product for about 2 years with good results. It gives a good energy boost during the day and helps with some immune system problems.

First a disclaimer: I AM NOT A DOCTOR, NOR AM I A NATUROPATH, SO THE FOLLOWING REVIEW IS PURELY ANECDOTAL. My naturopath prescribed GreensFirst for me about 5 years ago. Since then, I have had a grand total of 1 bad cold / case of the flu ... and I think that was because I was living in Japan for 2 months, and didn't take my GreensFirst with me on the trip. Prior to that time, I would typically have 3-5 bad colds each winter, and usually a case of the flu. The first winter I was on G/F, the difference was quite dramatic. The taste is good -- not luscious, mind you, and I can't see myself drinking G/F "recreationally". (So "Hey barkeep ... GreensFirst on the rocks with a twist" is probably not in the cards.) But the taste is decent, pleasantly sweet. It dissolves well in water with no left-over powder residue in the bottom. (You don't need a blender; just put the G/F powder in the shaker, fill the shaker 2/3 full of water, and shake. When you take the lid off, the mixture will look a medium shade of olive-drab, but don't be put off by the appearance.) But even if it tasted like chimpanzee vomit, I would continue drinking it because it is like my immune / disease-resistance system is on steroids. JIM

This is a great tasting drink that provides tons of nutrients. I drink it every morning. It starts my day just right.

This is the best greens powder I've had. I like a powder that I can drink on its own, rather than having to mix with juice to make it ok. It's very minty, which distracts you from what you're actually drinking. In fact, I've been making it at about half strength, and it's still almost Altoid level. But not icky. My only negative comment is that it is sweetened, so you can't do the level of sweetness to your own liking, and I don't care for very sweet things at all. But that's minor. All in all, I like this product because it's drinkable without juice, and it forces me to drink more water--like I say, I mix the whole scoop with about 2 and a half times the water they say to. I cannot imagine drinking it at the "undiluted" one glass of water one scoop amount--it would be too minty and sweet.
I don't mean for this review to sound so negative. I really like this and will be using it from now on--no more searching for the right powder. I don't think it would be a good addition to a smoothie or other juice drink, because the mint and sweet would overwhelm, but if you're like me and just want a water additive for plain H2O, this is the way to go!

I like this product because it actually tastes GOOD. My seven year old will ask for it to drink and will actually eat the powder by iself.

I have been using Green's First for about 10 years. I love the bright, freash taste of it. Using this product has improved my general well being and digestion. I have tried some other products at times, but always return to Green's First.

Started taking Greens First thru my accupuncturist. It has a great taste and really helps me thru the day.
