Will Greens + solve all your health problems? Probably not.
Will Greens + magically make you lose weight? Probably not.
Will Greens + make a super obvious difference in your life? Probably not.

HOWEVER,

You are not eating enough veggies. I mean, none of us are, unless we're apes at the zoo sitting around waiting for the nice lady to bring by the cart of lettuce and cucumber. Or perhaps rabbits. Chances are you eat some things that aren't that great for your body on a regular basis. You probably drank too much sometime lately. You might have had one more cookie than you ought to have the other day. Perhaps you really didn't need that third refill of movie popcorn last night. Will Greens + magically absolve you of your indulgences? Probably not. But what it will do is make you feel better in wonderfully subtle ways.

Since I've been taking Greens+ every morning I do feel like I have a bit more energy. I don't want to laze about in bed quite as much. I feel a bit more zing in my life, feel a bit younger in my actions and reactions. It could just be placebo effect, but it's still a positive effect! If you're curious about this product, buy one bottle and give it a try for a month. See if it helps anything, and if it does, great! It's so inexpensive as a supplement that you really can't go wrong giving it a try.

PROS:
- They changed the formula to where it now almost totally dissolves in liquid. It's not gritty and it goes down well.
- Doesn't taste horrible. I mix it with apple juice, which helps a lot, but it doesn't taste like ground up seaweed or anything.
- Very affordable as a supplement, especially through Amazon.

CONS:
- Has a lot of soy isoflavones, if you care about that sort of thing.

I don't mind the taste of the Original Greens + Formula. It's tolerable, but this Wild Berry Burst is delicious! I would drink this stuff as a dessert! I feel great after drinking it. Get quite a boost of oxygenation in my system. The Greens + Formula works. For anyone who wants to take a Green Formula but can't choke down most of them, this one is definitely your best bet. The price is very reasonable as well.

This is quite possibly the first green superfood drink I've ever had that doesn't taste like freshly-mowed grass. Now I understand some people prefer the taste of freshly mowed grass. I do not. I'm a sugar addict, and love my stuff SWEET! I finally have an easy way to get my daily veggies, and in a drinkable form. I mix up mine every morning in a 17 oz. glass with 8 oz. juice and 7 oz. water. I enjoy the taste, and it goes good with breakfast. And since I'm a scavenger with meals sometimes my breakfast most days is ramen noodles, or a bagel thing, or something with eggs in it.

The only problem I have with it, is the stuff doesn't fully dissolve in water. If you let it sit then it slowly starts to sink to the bottom. No problem, as I just stir it up before I take a swig. I do feel more awake during the day when I'm on this stuff, and I seem to be in a better mood.

There is research supporting the claim that Greens+ is very good for you--so it doesn't have to taste delicious.
This flavor is sweetened with stevia--which means it's too sweet if you try to just add it to a smoothie that already has, say, artificially sweetened protein powder in it--and the flavor/texture is hideous in water. It's best masked in a smoothie or juice that is fruit based.
To be honest, I might go for the capsules next time, but this flavor is still a reasonable way to get this awesome supplement down.

My first try, I mixed a serving with a cup of water... well, I could drink it, but it was pretty sweet for my taste buds. So next time, I mixed with a cup and a half of water and that went fine.

No, it's not exactly a taste treat by itself, but it doesn't taste like ground up grass either. I *can* chug it with water without problem, and so can my husband.

However, my preference is to put it in my usual blueberry breakfast smoothie and there, I think it enhances the smoothie! I forgot one day, and it just wasn't the same!

Anyway, I feel better since taking Greens Plus Wild Berry Burst, I feel like I have more energy in the morning. I don't think it is any kind of miracle cure, taking it didn't stop me from getting a virus this winter, but it's a great way to get some vegetable in for a quickie breakfast!

I started taking a greens supplement in 2000 after hearing a radio infomercial for a product called Emerald Greens. It was a great product, just pricey and difficult to find. I found Greens+ at a health food store in Oregon in early 2004 and started using the plain green version. I tried different mixers because the guy at the store warned that it didn't taste very good with water. My favorite is to just mix a scoop with regular old OJ and shake it very briskly for a full minute or more in a shaker cup.

When they introduced the Berry Burst in my area (Seattle) about 4 or 5 years ago, I gave it a try and have never gone back to the original green version. I know that everyone is different, but what seems to work best for me is to have the shake first thing in the morning...right after I wake up and brush my teeth. Then I go back and shave, shower, etc to get ready for work....before eating breakfast. It seems to give the veggies time to get into the digestive system and the energy boost is greater. Also works better for anyone following a glycemic index type diet to permit the quick sugars from the OJ or apple juice to burn off before eating the slow burn carbs in cereal, toast, or bagels.

I am getting to be an old man now and the doctors say that I am healthier than most people 25 years younger. I exercise moderately and eat just about anything I want. I totally believe in the power of the super greens. Greens+ Berry Burst is by far my favorite!!

I have tried a lot of the various greens products. This one for sure has the best taste (wild berry). If your into taste... The others taste like a mouthful of weeds. Greens plus also has a great deal of research behind it and a ton of anecdotal evidence as well. For the price you are not going to get a better quality, better tasting greens product.

I had tried the original flavor Greens+ a while back. I didn't like it at all, and because of that, I couldn't drink enough of it to even finish the bottle.
Some time passes, and I realize that my diet still stinks, and I NEED a product like this. In a round about way, I found this Wild Berry Burst flavor and decided to give it a try.
As soon as I opened the bottle, the experience was infinitely better! It has a nice berry smell to it!
I prepared a serving, and was surprised that the flavor wasn't bad. It still LOOKS like swamp water, but the taste is tolerable.
It's not "great", but I can drink it and it's not so bad.
I discovered something brilliant though. I mix a serving of this Greens+ Wild Berry Burst, with a serving of my regular chocolate protein shake.
WOW, that's yummy! It's a nice chocolate/berry drink with NO nasty flavor at all!
I actually look forward to drinking that in the middle of my day!
If you're a picky eater like me, I couldn't recommend this product more!
I've tried to eat cleaner, and I know that Greens+ helps me get the nutrients that I would otherwise be missing.

If you are rushed, and who isn't these days, it can be hard to eat right. I use "Greens+ Wild Berry Burst" in my juice in the morning. My husband saves his for the afternoon drive home. This gives me the energy to start the day and my husband energy after a hard day at work. It helps us to get the fruits and greens we don't take the time to prepare at every meal. If we are feeling a little tired or trying to keep from getting sick we up our servings to 2 to 3 times a day. Tastes great with juice or water, and has so few calories. What is not to love!

I can't begin to tell you how great Greens Plus is .. I was weak, achy, postmenopausal .. you name it.. after taking Greens plus.. I am so okay.. its ridiculous.. I can't go without it ever! This price is very very very good :)
