I was also concerned about the container only being half full, so I weighed it. Put the bowl on, zeroed out the scale, and dumped as much of the powder out as possible. Not quite 209g but I weighed just one scoop full after, and it came out to 11g with the scoop. Approximately one scoop full away from the 209g, but that is absolutely no big deal! The back does say approximately 30 servings, so I’m guessing I’ll get 29.
I am not one that hates the taste of grass, I love wheat grass shots and mixing it in with smoothies! So, I just mixed an even scoop of the powder with a bottle of water and 1 TBSP of chia seeds, then let it sit for 10 minutes. I shook my bottle. A lot. It does leave a grainy feel in the mouth, so if that bothers you, definitely mix with milk or in a smoothie. Sipping it, it tastes like cool matcha tea (which makes me question the matcha I’ve been buying, but that’s another review); chugging it, it tastes just like the smell of grass clippings. Personally, I have no problem with the taste, and I do feel awake after drinking this first thing in the morning...and I never feel awake these days!
My problem, and the reason for the two stars, is because I just learned that Nestlè bought Garden of Life. The pure evil Nestlè that “incentivized” doctors of third world countries to push their formula despite undrinkable water, and the same Nestlè that uses child slavery to pick their chocolate.
So if that doesn’t bother you, and hey, you form your own opinions of brands and make your own choices about how YOUR dollar votes, I give the powder five stars...I give Garden of Life as a whole now only one...averaged as best as possible with this rating system!

From the manufacturer
We want the best when it comes to our food - clean, organic, and non-GMO. 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.” Well, while the other guys spend their time preoccupied with their efficiency, we’re uncompromising about your health. Slow it down, make it by hand, grow it in rich organic non-GMO 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 the highest 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 Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified 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 have a very picky two year old and finding ways to get fruits and veggies in him is nearly impossible. I thank god that I came across this product! At first I was very hesitant (he was as well) because the look and smell is just awful. I put a TINY bit in his coconut yogurt and added dark chocolate chips and the kid gobbled it up! Over time I added more and more and now he is up to almost two scoops per yogurt. He loves it. This is a kid who is so picky that he won't even touch pizza, pasta, or other fun kid foods. If he likes this product than I can almost guarantee you will too. The most amazing part about this product is his health has improved tremendously. He was a very sickly kid, he spent his life in and out of the hospital, and now he has the strongest immune system of everyone is our household. I am forever grateful!
