Considering how I have green supplements on my radar, it was inevitable that Amazing Grass products would be on my list. After trying out one of their popular powders, I wrote this Amazing Grass review for anyone interested in their Green Superfood.
A decade ago, if you told me that I would be all about fitness and healthy eating, I’d probably smack you in the back of your head with whatever greasy food I’d be munching on at the time. Long story short, I was obese, and a simple trip to the bathroom took far too much of my energy than I was willing to exert. Eventually, I knew I had to make some changes.
It all started with a trip to the doctor for some palpitations that had gotten to an uncomfortable level. After a series of tests, the life-changing verdict was made. I had to change my lifestyle and eating habits; else I was a meal away from a possible death and terrifying, I know!
A little over ten years now, and it’s pretty hard for some of my old friends to recognize me. After losing about thirty kilos, I can’t really blame them. I look (and feel) like a whole new person. If I knew how much positivity a healthy lifestyle could impact on my life, I’d have started the changes much earlier.
That’s how I learned some more about dietary supplements. On my new path, I was always looking for healthy ways to supplement my diet. Though I try my best to minimize nutrient-loss while cooking, it’s inevitable that we lose significant nutrition in the kitchen – and we can’t always eat raw food.
I’ve had awesome dietary supplements, and some that I wish could be erased from existence! Luckily, my overall experience hasn’t been so terrible. When I discovered Amazing Grass, I hadn’t tried out a grass-based product before, and I figured it was time I did.

Review of the AG Superfood
From the thousands of positive reviews I’ve seen with Amazing Grass Green Superfood, I decided to do some further digging. I went over to the website to see what the company was all about. They also have a popular protein supplement to offer and something for the kids as well!
About Amazing Grass
Amazing Grass seems like a family affair, complete with the family farm passed down over three generations. The secret? Practicing lots of patience with slow growth and ensuring they only harvest at peak nutrition.
The company has been around for over 15 years and has grown to partner with similarly-minded farmers, and maintain production of high-quality plant-based products. The plants are fully organic (very nutrient rich) and Non-GMO. The grass is dehydrated before pressing into pellets, storing, freezing, and eventually fine grinding – all this helps to preserve the nutrients!
The Amazing Grass Green Superfood is among the original Amazing Grass greens; there are many more you can choose from now, like the Amazing Trio or the Organic Kale powder. Some are energy or immune-based, while others are for cleansing and detox. You get to choose!
The Green Superfood packs a mean punch with the ingredients. First, you get vitamins A, C, and K, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, and Iron. Then there are the Green Food, Antioxidant, Fiber, and Digestive blends which contain an array of more ingredients that offer more nutrients.
Some of the contents in the Green Food blend are Organic Wheatgrass and Barley grass alongside Spirulina, Chlorella, and alfalfa. There’s Rosehip, Beetroot, Maca root, Pineapple, Green tea, and more in the Antioxidant blend. There are Flaxseed and Apple pectin in the Fiber Blend and a couple of probiotics in the Digestive Blend.
My Results
I’m not sure whether this powder is to thank for the improvement in my joints, but I’m sure the overall wellness I feel is from this supplement. I’ve had superb energy throughout, no crashing, and a feeling of balance in my body! I had to play around with the number of scoops (between one and three) before I settled for one and a half.
Pros
- A wide variety of organic ingredients and choice for green product
- You can add in your water, smoothies or juice
- No artificial flavors or colors
Cons
- Earthy taste
- I didn’t like the changes to the original Green Superfood in my last bottle
Conclusion
I saw an Amazing Grass review that had a lot to say about the taste, but I didn’t find it as offensive as the review made me expect. If you find the taste unpleasant, you can mix the powder with juice or smoothies instead of water.
