Hello All,

I've been trying to eat healthier as I continue to diet but I'm really bad with eating lots of vegetables. Yesterday I found all these different green powder shakes you can take that are full of vegetables and nutrients but I can't really tell the different between all of the brands out there/what they do.

Here are a couple I was looking at:
http://www.amazon.com/Greens-Amazing-Superfood-Natural-Servings/dp/B004I4BJ2C/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1341840585&sr=8-6&keywords=mega+green+powder

http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Grass-Chocolate-Superfood-Container/dp/B001J9LX48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341840535&sr=8-1&keywords=green+powder+shake

Does anyone know anything about these shakes or which ones are the best?

Could really use some help, thanks!

    Hm, maybe I'll try that one then. Do you know anything about it? Like are there actual benefits to taking it?

    I've been drinking Mega greens powder drink for a couple of weeks now and love it! I can't say that i've had an concrete proof it's doing good but I feel great knowing I'm getting all those vitamins in. I'll also say the first couple of times the taste isnt great but now it just tastes like water to me.

    I make up a litre bottle of it and drink it at my desk (perhaps doing 2 bottles a day depending on how I feel) and I just give it a quick shake with the lid on before I drink just to make sure it's not grainy and just sip it throughout the day.

    It freaks all my colleagues out though! They're convinced Im drinking pond water
  • Pure green protein thats what i use to add to my herbalife shake when i need to add extra protein. See if they have a website :)

    They seem similar, but one is chocolate flavoured.

    I have a green powder drink every morning - I use wheatgrass. I find it is good for giving me energy. It apparently has all the vitamins and minerals and amino acids that you get in green veg. I also eat veg though - I just like the wheatgrass because it gives me more energy, and I like how the drink tastes. I sometimes also take spirulina, which is also apparently very healthy, but it tastes vile!
