Green Foods - Green Magma Review

Green Foods - Green Magma
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like to drink Green Magma daily as a snack between meals with some protein powder (such as Designer Whey or Slim Body Whey); and I like to take extra on days when I ingest salty products (say, deli turkey or something canned or cheese). It's got a pleasant, mild "green" taste (not icky like wheat grass), and it's very quick to mix. It has a nice amount of potassium, and, hey, green goodness.
It's not a magic drink, but if you have days when you don't get your green veggies and maybe overindulge in salt, some green magma (rather sugar-heavy juices) may be helpful. (Coconut water is even better, being higher in Potassium, but that doesn't give you the "green" benefits.)
I do think that the pleasant taste was the most surprising aspect. I totally expected something gross (magma???), but this has a gentle taste that doesn't make one gag. (Wheat grass and some blended green food products definitely are hard for me to get past the gag reflex for me.) And if it's hard for you to ingest your recommended 5 to 9 (or 11, depending on who you read) fruits and veggies a day, this is one aid.
The information on the product says it has these nutrients and benefits: "beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, chlorophyll, catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), 2"-O-glycosylisovitexin (2"-O-GIV). 2"-O-GIV is a water- and fat-soluble antioxidant found in Green Magma that effectively inhibits lipid peroxidation as well as the formation of aldehydes and other toxic compounds in vitro produced by free radicals. Green Magma also contains many trace minerals like selenium that have antioxidant actions."
I live in the city and don't have a perfect diet. I also have assorted health issues. So, I take Acai juice and other phytonutrient dense products to help. Green Magma is in my arsenal.
And if it tasted like pure crap, I wouldn't recommend it. It tastes way better than genuine acai berry juice. :)
If you get it, I recommend you get one of those 8 or 12 oz shaker cups with the lid you pop on and off to shake the Green Magma up easily and clean it simply. I find my small shaker cups get used A LOT, between protein powders, berry mixes, green tea extract dilutions, and Green Magma.
Enjoy, and be well,
Mir

This product is great for making dashi (kelp) broth. It's nice and strong. It's a quite simple way to make quick kelp broth. Have to strain with strainer if you don't want the particle in your clear broth. I use them in my smoothie.

The Ultimate Life - The Ultimate Meal Review

The Ultimate Life - The Ultimate Meal
Average Reviews:

I started taking this product when I was pregnant and extremely health conscious. It is the best meal replacement out there, and from the very beginning I could feel the difference in my health. Of course, the taste is far from delicious, but after my initial reaction (gag) I now like it, even crave it in the mornings. (I had to make myself like V8 to, and this is healthier.) The price is a little steep at $55, but it is much better on Amazon then if you bought it form the store ($70+ tax) and it is worth every penny of it. It is full of vitamins, healthy grains and vegan protein. It will fill you up (unlike other green drinks) so you eat less. While it does not claim to be a weight loss product, it actually helped me lose 20 pounds by helping me stop my cravings. Try it, you will not regret it!

Nutritional Yeast, 8 oz. Review

Average Reviews:

As a long term vegan I use this product for salads and sauces not as a source of B12 (nutritional yeast doesn't contain B12 unless it's fortified with it).
I love the quality and consistency (I've been a long term buyer). I would highly recommend you check out Barry Farm for gourmet and hard to get foods (no, I don't work for them or have any investment in the company).
I live in a area where it is impossible to get wasabi, nori or other specialty Asian products, so I'm forced to purchase online. I'm glad that there is a Barry Farms in cyber space.

Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer, Vanilla Chai Flavor, 34.9 oz Review

Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer, Vanilla Chai Flavor, 34.9 oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a shake fanatic. I am always in search of the perfect shake and the perfect bar. I haven't found the the perfect bar yet, but I have found the perfect meal replacement, it is Vega. Vanilla Chai is my personal favorite because it tastes great mixed with water. Yes, it is pricey. But it is well worth the cost. It takes the place of so many supplements. There is no need for a multivitamin, calcium/magnesium, omega-3, green supplement, or energy supplement. It is all here. Vega has 2.5g of Maca, which is great for hormone balance, endocrine glands, and energy. I have suffered with adrenal problems for years and this product has made more difference than any combination of products I have taken in the past. It contains 2.5g of Chlorella which is a great heavy metal and liver detoxifier. Vega has 15g of fiber which is over half our daily requirements. Finally, and most importantly, it is filling and really does replace a meal. I highly recommend it!
