Berry Green Superfood with Goji, Acai & Raspberry, Raw Organic Nutrition- Vegan & Gluten Free - 240 Grams

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 cense 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.

great

Never too late for self-improvement! I am 57 years old and just became a grandmother for the first time. However, I am in pretty bad shape for my age and I have a lot of fear that I won't be able to be an active, involved grandmother because of my mobility limitations. It's already happening. I am going to try to reverse or at least stall my degenerative disease through education and proper nutrition. I have severe arthritis and degenerative disc and joint disease, and that ever so controversial fibromyalgia! 15 years ago my MRI showed 9 disc herniations in all levels of my spine. Just this past year I had to retire after being a Registered Nurse since graduating in 1981. I was an avid gardener, loved the outdoors and hiking, walks, camping etc. I am ordering this based on a recommendation from my sister who follows someone she watches on YouTube and TV, specifically Dr. Oz back on 8/21/14 - Dr. Josh Axe. I never heard of him-was too busy working and struggling with severe pain all day. This berry green superfood container is packed full of the equivalent of gold for supplying nutrients to this body who has its share of deficiencies and a history lacking in healthy eating. Daily intake of berry superfood is part of a new program that I deveoped for myself, hoping to stall any further progression of my disease, again based on my own online research, including teachings by Dr. Axe. My sister is two years younger than me, has nowhere near the pain and mobility issues that I do, however does have occasional flare-ups of hip of other aches and pains. She swears by her daily smoothies, says that they are making a difference in her overall functioning and quality of life. She also recommended this brand mix to me. She hates greens, always did, and this is a way of getting some greens in her system. She was always the sister eating the PB and Jelly or pancakes instead of a meal, while the rest of us were eating our soft boiled eggs and toast, or roasted chicken with veggies lol. I am impressed with everything about this berry green superfood ! It goes along with Dr. Axe's recommendations, such as being all natural, organic, no sugar, gluten-free, basically free of the bad stuff. It's loaded with antioxidants, antibiotics, vitamins and minerals, and fiber. It has a berry taste of course, very pleasant, and not at all gritty, mixes well. I start my day with creating a delicious smoothie with a scoop of this ingredient, some powdered protein, a frozen banana, coconut or coconut almond silk, and whatever else I have on hand such as a tablespoon of flax seeds, berries, yogurt, fresh greens, Go Ruby Go mix, etc. I love being imaginative and creating healthy shake masterpieces! I have been doing this daily for about two weeks and I swear that I am already noticing a difference in my pain and energy levels and also less stiffness/improved mobility! I am excited for what the future will bring. It can only get better if I am seeing improvement already. This grandma is now looking forward to the second half of this life experience. The next 50 years are going to be awesome thanks to healthy living starting with protein, the building blocks for a healthy system, and healthy and nutritious greens. I recommend this product and I thank my sister for bringing it to my attention! I purchased it totally on my own-didn' t have a coupon or promotional discount. My review is completely independent of outside influences. I am starting to notice positive changes, and I am excited. Hope that you enjoy👍 for this purchase!
