Amazing Green Superfoods

Doesn’t This look AMAZING?

It was Amazing indeed! A huge Thank You to Teri at Amazing Foods for a fantastic package they recently sent me to review including:

Three Flavors of Amazing Meals
Three Flavors of GREEN SuperFood Powders
Two packets of Wheat Grass
Two chocolate covered GREEN SuperFood Bars
Two GREEN SuperFood Bars

A shaker for smoothies too!

I just had to try the GREEN SuperFood bar! Info on these bars from Amazing Grass can be found here

What makes this bar so fantastic? They are a great source of antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables that are unprocessed and organic. They are also:

It was similar to a Larabar inside, with chunky pieces of soft nuts and chewy dried organic dates.

I loved the Chocolate version even more! It was the same bar with a cocoa coating.

That coating wasn’t like other fake-sugar, hydrogenated-fat coatings that cover many bars, it was a truly tasty chocolate coating that melted instantly! You can see on the ingredients that it contains Organic Dark Chocolate, Unsweetened Chocolate, and Cacao Nibs!

Sensory Review:

Both of these SuperFood Bars had an amazing, sweet, fresh aroma when opening the package. They each had great texture, the nuts were soft enough but provided a little crunch that contrasted the chewy organic dates really well. The flavor was sweet but not overpowering. They did have a “healthy” taste but it was definitely not chemically sweet nor “veggie” tasting. The chocolate was obviously a great idea that added a delicious melty, mouth-feel. The aftertaste of both left me wanting to eat another entire bar!
 

GREEN SuperFood Powder Packets

The first packet I mixed with water and milk in this nifty shaker deal Teri sent! On the side I had a waffle with peanut butter but started to put fresh fruit on my plate as well before realizing that I was getting a hefty does of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in my shake!

The chocolate was by far my favorite GREEN SuperFood powder packets!  The flavor had both chocolate AND greens- kind of odd for those that aren’t into that “healthy, refreshing” taste. I am so used to fresh, local, organic greens & veggies so that didn’t bother me much, although Jeff thought otherwise. The texture was definitely more powdery than I would have liked, despite mixing well with milk, but I really enjoyed the fact that this is “healthy” food.

There are many foods out there that people mistake as “healthy” foods, cardboard cookies that are organic or fruit juice with the main ingredient of high fructose corn syrup. Marketing could be to blame, but many of these so called healthy foods don’t even taste good! I would much rather eat something that, although its not super sweet or creamy , it tastes healthy and truly is healthy!

Three thumbs up for SuperFood!

Nutritional Info ( source from Amazing Grass Website)

As you can see it is only 30 calories but offers other amazing ingredients such as Organic Flax Seed & Organic Acai (both super sources of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids) and Digestive Enzymes both Pre-biotic and Probiotic! I learned about each of these in Microbiology and found that both of these can increase the healthy bacteria in your digestive system greatly! 

My Mix-In Ideas:

Chocolate SuperFood, Banana, PB, Milk

Berry SuperFood, Frozen Mango, Frozen Cherries, Almond Milk

I really enjoyed both SuperFood powder packets and the whole food energy bars. Thank you again for the amazing package Amazing Grass!

Look forward to more reviews including Amazing Meals and Wheat Grass Reviews in the future!
