The Big Green Taste Test
I've been trying to decide which green drink to take on a daily basis and so I began my research by googling for a couple of weeks. I narrowed it down to the following 3 powder mixes:
Greens+
Green Vibrance
Garden of Eden Perfect Food
They are all highly rated products. Green Vibrance and Perfect Food are top sellers at Whole Foods market. My way of rating them was to taste them. My thinking is that if I don't like the taste of something I'm probably not going to use it.
The way that I tested the 3 products was to juice 2 organic apples and add the product to the juice and blend it.
The first one I tested was Green Vibrance. Well... How do I describe the flavor? Pond scum? That might be a good description. Personally, I've never had pond scum, but the smell is similar to that product so I'll just assume that they are the same.
The second one I tried was Greens+. It had a very mild smell and after mixing it with the apple juice it was pleasant tasting.
When I opened the sample container of Perfect Food and took a whiff, the first thing that came to my mind was did this just crawl out of somebody's butt? But, being the rocket scientist that I am I continued on with the experiment. So, I blended it with the apple juice and began to drink it. Have you ever eaten or drunk anything that makes you grimace? That's what happened to me. My body's way of asking me "What the heck are you putting into me???"
Based on those 3 "experiments" I've decided to go with Greens+. No wierd fishy odor! It's something I can take on a daily basis and not think that I'm taking "medicine."
Others may have different opinions of course, but there's mine.
take care
