Diet, Nutrition and SupplementationPost here for supplement reviews or nutritional advice. If you're trying to get "ripped abz" THIS is where you should be.
I'm trying to add more vegetables to my diet but have difficulty when I travel. I've read Berardi endorse Greens Plus when he travels. Does anyone have any experience with this supp? Any concerns? How does it taste? JB mentions adding to protein shakes - any thoughts?
I'm currently trying a greens powder. I eat a fair amount of vegetables, but as a College student I know they aren't very good quality (dining hall), and are lacking in nutrients. Plus I've seen Berardi's endorsement, and thought I would look into it.
It tastes really bad. I can't fully explain it, but grass clippings and moss blended together is the best comparison I can come up with. I didn't vomit, but I have a REALLY strong stomach. I mix it with as little water as it takes to dissolve it, and chug it as quickly as possible. Mixing with a protein shake didn't help much at all.
I would HIGHLY suggest that if you can add more good quality organic fruits & veggies into your diet, definitely do it. The stuff is pretty vile. It is also pretty expensive IMO.
I use the berry flavoured Greens +, mix it with apple juice first thing in the morning on a empty stomach. No gagging at all, very easy to drink.
I totally understand Smaniac, the plain stuff with water certainly does like grass clippings and moss. It's kinda funny watching my girlfriend taking her Greens+. She still uses the regular stuff with water but has to plug her nose when she's downing it.
I actually mixed the berry flavored kind w/ cottage cheese. Tastes pretty darn good actually. It lets me sneak another serving of veggies into my pre-bed snack of nuts+cc.
I honestly don't know how it could be a knock off with the EXACT same name. That would be like selling a knock off of duracel batteries named...duracel.
The container says, "new look" on it though. So that may be why it looks different.
Greens plus. Simply put it tastes so bad it has to be good for you...
But seriously it is worth just chuging the stuff down for all the benifits you get from it (just read any Berardi material and about his "Super Shake"). I take a serving everynight with my low carb grow bwfore bed.
It's a decent substitute for veggies, if you aren't eating your veggies. Veggies help with your body's PH balance, lowering blood acid levels. High levels of acid (blood acidosis) can lead to all sorts of things, like inflammation, osteoporosis, etc.
