Anyone try it? I am very picky at what I eat and would like an honest opinion of how the green one tastes. Trying to get SOME healthy foods into my belly. And before ANY of you Shakeology hawkers jump on here, I have it. It is tasty. BUT I CAN ONLY DRINK SO MUCH CHOCOLATE, I need some variety.

    They have a lot of sugar. You're better off buying a nice blender and making your own healthy smoothies, where you can control the sugar content.

    I drink the Naked super green every Friday. It's much better than you think it would be. It's pretty sweet, so I only do it once a week before my Friday morning meeting because I can't eat in my meeting. I would recommend them in a jam, but I usually make my own juice at home.

    Go for it, even though some do have a lot of sugar it's still fruit right? Just don't drink on a regular basis. I stock up whenever it's on sale, but on drink it when I'm either out of fruits/veggies or I don't have time to make my own. If you're looking to make you'r own, I use this website to figure calories, sugar, etc. http://myphytos.com/

    I'll echo that they are high in sugar--I was surprised. I tried a few other ones just to see if I liked the brand, which I do. I've heard really good things about the green machine one. It's supposed to taste really good. I haven't tried it yet, but sometime soon I will.

    Thanks for all the feedback! I ran out and got both the green machine and blue machine. I like them both, and yes I did read that one serving is half a bottle. There is NO WAY I could drink a whole bottle in one sitting. When we all got home this evening we each tried both. I like them and they seem to be better nutritionally than the others in the line. I am not looking for a drink replacement, just something to add into my routine to get better foods into me (am one of the pickiest eaters I know.. I have TRIED several times over the years and just cannot stomach a lot of the *stinky* veggies). I don't ingest a whole lot of sugary food so this shouldn't kill me.
