Superfood Reds Powder, Monk Fruit Flavored Organic Antioxidant, Concentrated Greens and Reds Superfood Powder, Vegan Berry, 30 Servings

First I would like to state that you will need a shake mixer bottle. You can get them for about $7 at walmart for a basic one.It is just a bottle with a wiske ball in side and a top that has a popup lid and measurements on the side. You will need this!! Its in the pharmacy area with the shake mixes.Next most people will need a juice like orange juice to put it in. This helps with the taste and after taste.Put about 10ounces of juice in the bottle and a scoop of the powder. close it up with the whisk ball and shake for about 5 seconds. Then just pop it open and drink it down quick.It tastes Like OJ with something also in it but not overpowering.I have had two batches and one was very grainy the other not. The one that was not grainy had a stronger flavor and still didn't really desolve.Doing this the taste is fine with no after taste although you may want to use a different juice. It is up to you and your taste. I use the frozen oj that is pure and mix in water.Now the benefits. After about 3 days for me i started to feel like I had much more energy. i started to wake up quicker (about 5min) and actually stopped drinking coffee in the mornings unless I just wanted a cup for the taste. Before this I had 1-2 coffee mugs of coffee a day for about 15 years and took about 30-45 min to wake up. I also seem to be more alert and active during the day. And have noticed I sleep a bit less than before at about 6.5 hrs instead of the 8hrs I needed before. And I think I even sleep deeper without waking up in the night. That hasn't happened in years. Also If I do take a nap at home it isn't as long as it used to be and it is more refreshing. 30-45min is fine. Before it would be 2 hours. I used to laugh at people talking about a refreshing 30min nap.To be clear I have a very busy schedule working a lot of OT. This unfortunately means my diet isn't the best at getting fresh foods in my diet or eating regular meals. This helps with issue of getting the fruits and vegetables in my diet which apparently I was in desperate need of.Also I like the new price at $16 over the $20 price. Last time I reordered i got 2 of them. They arrived very quick.On a side note I have also started having slim fast shakes instead of a dinner at work(2nd shift) and in about 2 months between the two things have lost about 25pounds(i am 240pounds now). And it seams to be falling more. I have used the lunch time to take a small 20min nap and have seen my work performance rise greatly through the entire day. I usually work to 2am and Don't go to sleep till about 3:3-4am Hence the nap needed.UPDATE 12-26-16Well it has been a few months sense the last update. I still seem to have plenty of energy and waking up in about 5 mins not needing coffee. I still get a nap before going to work although I have missed it on occasion. I don't get my nap at lunch because of the cold and haven't noticed a issue usually. Still wide awake when driving home. Life saver this stuff.Like I said before I work a lot of OT on second shift. We also work sat a lot however we come in at 10am. I have found that unlike before I started taking this I am not as tired and sleepy getting up so early after being used to waking up later. It was really put to the test on Christmas eve were the night before I didn't go to bed till 4:30 because I had to worked to 3am so we wouldn't have to work sat. The I had to wake up at 8am to go to my brothers house to have Christmas. I was awake and alert with plenty of energy.UPDATE 4-27-17Well I am still taking this every day. There have been some small changes. With the last couple of batches have found I am usually really sleepy in the morning and i get a cup of coffee, although I may not finish it. Also On my own I have stopped taking the nap at lunch. I also may or may not get a nap before work.The early sat shifts are still fine. As are the late night driving which really makes it worth it. Don't have to worry about getting killed on the road.I am not getting necessarily the huge burst of energy but its very steady. i Don't usually eat lunch at work and have been having the shake mixes. Not having a issue. Usually eat something after work.I have stopped loosing pounds but am dropping inches. Went from 44 to 41 in at the naval.I am wondering if they changed their formula.Update 1-1-18I THINK this will be my final updateI have been a little lax in taking the mix sense they changed the formula. I think I liked the other one better. This new formula i can detect in the OJ stronger. However I am still feeling pretty good. Maybe it got me over a hump or something. Also the hours are being cut with my shift lately getting off at 12:30- 1:15am instead of 2am. Also I haven't worked a Sat for months.I am waking up pretty quick and while I many times do get a coffee I usually don't finish it and only drink about 1/4 to 1/2 a mug. I have stopped eating at lunch usually and mostly don't take a nap. Driving at night I am wide awake with no issues. I am still getting about 5-6.5 hours sleep and feeling good.I can say this formula has likely saved my life on the road. It gave my body what it needed to make energy to keep me awake and alert working the many hours working and driving. I still keep a container of OJ made up in the fridge and take it when feeling tired or working a lot. Just not every day.Update 10-5-23Well it has been a while sense I have last taken the mix. I fell off it for a while I think in 2019 when our work dropped off greatly and I wasn't working ot. I then transfered to a different department and covid hit and the hours dropped a huge amount and then I was working a latter 1st shift so no late nights.I have recently been having issues with sleep and energy again and am on a first shift early morning. Even had some issues with driving and being very sleepy.I pulled out my remaining bottle and ordered a new one (wow the price went up!). I have been taking for a bout 2 weeks so far. I have noticed a increase of energy and after taking a dose usually i am not as sleepy and am awake. Also my sleep is starting to be affected and am sleeping most of the way through and not waking constantly. OT is starting to come back and I plan on taking as much as I can.

The media could not be loaded. EDIT: 9/4/2016I posted my initial video review of my unpacking this berry green food to give everyone a feel for what they would get "right out of the box." After having used it a few days longer, here are my thoughts on this organic green "superfood" blend...First, this manufacturer uses something called "monk fruit" which is a healthy alternative to stevia or other sweeteners. I am always looking for alternatives to stevia (which I think tastes horrible), and as anyone trying to take care of their body knows, an alternative to normal sweeteners is what we look for. A+ on that one, especially as I have not seen others doing this.It contains the "must-have's" with fruits and etc. like Spirulina, goji, acai, and green tea (to name a few) in its organic antioxidant blend, and it has two other blends as well (a fiber blend and a probiotic blend, both organic, and both full of really awesome ingredients), which make it a true powerhouse for this type of product.Moving on let's talk synergy, because that is incredibly important to anyone trying to eat right and exercise correctly: An antioxidant, a fiber, and a probiotic blend, each of which is 100% organic, all in one mixture, is a HUGE plus for me, especially with the vitamin and mineral balances this supplement has. I don't know about anyone else, but having gone the route of taking tons of different supplements and shakes all at once, it gets old. This product combines a lot into one serving, which is a mega-plus.The real question for most though: How do I feel, and do I like the taste?As far as how I feel on it, I like it a lot. I think it is a 100% legit supplement which, particularly due to its organic synergistic blends, is more than worth the money. The taste is far, far better than most supplements I have come across (let's face it, most of them taste like ground bark mixed with seaweed), and while there is the slightest taste of barley-green in the background, it is oddly pleasant... and I am NO fan of the way barley-green tastes on its own.[...]. I try to give high-quality reviews on products I like, and I'm all for this one.

I read labels on nutritional items. And more. When I ordered this, the picture of the label on the Amazon website showed most nutritional items at 50% of RDA. But when it arrived, the label said 100%. Yet the actual mg amounts in each serving had not changed. I did a little research and they seem to be correct at 100%. So I guess they were label challenged at some point. Even worse, there is no listing for those mandatory items like calories and grams of carbs. I am on a very carb-controlled diet right now, so I had to do more research, because the actual ingredients themselves are mostly fruits, which are high in sugar. Turns out that there are 6 grams of carbs in each scoop. Not terrible, but I need to be aware of it in my total for the day or a meal. So I guess they still ARE label challenged. They seem lackadaisical about labeling like a Chinese company, but the product is evidently made in America. It says so right on the label. Maybe just the labels comes from China. LOL My suggestion to the company is to pay more attention to their label. It matters.But the product itself is very good. I like the taste. I tried some in water to know exactly what it tastes like. It stood up nicely to being diluted 2x the suggested amount. I do that with everything juice related. And I put some in a smoothie and is tastes good in there too. I love that it is all natural, because the mg or RDA is really not as important as the source of vitamins and minerals. Bioavailability is the name of the game, and I think this product wins on that score. Four stars because they don't have carbs on the label and made me go dig into the research. Otherwise it would be five.
