Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Chocolate Powder, 60 Servings

Well I am writing this having not experienced the full effects of it yet...I just received it today, and I am drinking it now. I love Garden of Life products, that is why I ordered it and I like everything about what it contains. I mixed a scoop with probably more like 10 oz of water with about 2 oz of almond milk (says to mix with 8 oz water, I don't measure). Some people will not like the taste I'm sure because it does taste very vegetative, almost like "dirt" but in a good way (if you know what I mean, some will!). It tastes FRESH, to me, and like it's good for me! hahhaa I like it, it is made with actual cocoa powder and a bit of stevia so I'm sure that helps. It only has 35 calories so should not be used to replace all meals but I will be using it to replace one meal, probably, or even for a snack when I need energy. I will update this tomorrow after also trying it in a smoothie with yogurt, banana, almond milk, coconut oil and ice but without the typical protein powder I use. UPDATING NOW! About an hour after drinking my first try of this stuff, I literally felt an almost surge of energy and good tidings. Really! hahaha sounds silly but I'm not kidding, I haven't felt this good in a long time, honestly. I can't wait to see how I feel when I really integrate this into my new eating and lifestyle habits. I don't have a juicer, can't afford that. I'm not the most lazy person I know but I am quite often loathe to actually make a raw smoothie with veg and such, and if one bought all these great ingredients separately, even if it was possible to, one would spent a ****ton of money and also have large quantities of product that could go bad. Some would say this is expensive for a not huge container of a powdered drink. I might even have said that, but I took the plunge and ordered it on the strength of Garden of Life's reputation and my experience with their stuff. Very pleased so far, and it's only been one day. UPDATE Dec.21, 2013: Still loving this stuff. I do smoothies with a banana, some yogurt, almond milk, frozen fruit like blueberries, this stuff and a scoop of protein powder. Love it!

First I have to say, this is the first green powder that I didn't choke on. I've always loved the idea of drinking this kind of stuff but could never make it a sustainable part of my routine. I think these drinks usually taste like I'm drinking from an old aquarium. Yuck! I ordered this based on the cacao flavoring and had high hopes that it would help mask the taste of algae. Well I must say it does a heck of a job. I mixed this with both flax milk and almond milk and both times it was like choclate milk (with a slight aftertaste of aquarium water), but very tolerable. I would say borderline enjoyable even. Maybe I can stick with it this time! Beyond taste I can't say enough positive about the ingredients. It's so good for you, no matter what your diet. I literally get a bit of a "greens buzz" right after taking these. It's like a shot of natural energy (nothing like synthetic stuff like red bull or 5 hour energy). I'm looking forward to adding this to smoothies (chocolate banana anyone?) and maybe even trying to hide it in brownies? Not sure if you can bake this stuff and still have the potency though so do your own research before baking a batch of "green brownies" :)

Chocolate flavor is Earthy and Pungent. I tried with water and then coconut milk. I recommend adding to a smoothie and not by itself.

I workout daily, eat very clean, (anti inflammatory diet), and make protein shakes after my workouts. I started doing my own finger pricks and using tests from Everlywell type places and it took FOREVER to get the blood amount needed. I had been told in the past my blood was thick. I started doing reading on what I could do to thin my blood a little. I definitely do not want a blood clot! While i don’t think this is a total cure, since adding this to my shakes I’ve taken blood tests and it’s become a lot easier to get the amount of blood needed. It’s not dripping uncontrollably (as in very thin), but it’s not as thick as it was before adding this to my shakes. I’ve also noticed more energy, skin is clearer and my vitamin levels are better! I looked at a lot of brands, a lot, and I decided to get this one for a few reasons. I’ve had good luck with the brand Garden of Life. I know their products are clean and do not come with added fillers. The list of digestive enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, and other items were more than other brands. The only items I wish it had that some other green juices include is moringa, Spirulina, chlorophyll and chlorella. Instead, I add these separately. I got the chocolate flavor. Alone I am not a fan at all. When added to my shake I can still taste it a little but not as much. I’m not a fan of the flavor. If I were to take this alone I’d definitely get the original.

First, I paid full price for this (someone tell me how to get FREE stuff!). Second, on Amazon it was literally HALF the cost that it was in the health food store I purchased the first bottle from. That said, this stuff is AWESOME! It tastes great, mixes up very smooth and not gritty--as long as you can shake it vigorously a few times--so use a bottle with a tight lid. As far as the taste, I am used to eating pretty healthy (lots of greens) and low sugar and I use stevia all the time , and eat raw cacao nibs--both used to flavor this drink. If you start drinking this from a McDonald's or processed food diet, you might not think it tastes good at first. The typical American diet is full of sugar and salt and high fructose corn syrup and MSG. So flavors are "souped" up. This stuff is very natural tasting. Now, the way it makes me feel--healthy. I have several autoimmune disorders and some digestive issues. This stuff really soothes my tummy and just makes me feel....better, for lack of a good description. It's nothing that's overt. But my skin is better, my sleep is a little better, I am a little more calm and happy and maybe less fatigued. And the best benefit, and the reason I started taking it, is that it raises my ph. I am too acidic and that is not a healthy state. (graphic alert) It also cleans me out--naturally and easily. No diarrhea, no constipation, just very easy bm's several times per day! Love this product!

Unbelievably sweet! I intended to add to smoothies but even a half teaspoon tastes like it’s loaded with artificial sweetener. I started just trying to drink it anyway but it’s just too much. Such a bummer. There goes 55$. Get the raw unflavored without any artificial sweeteners.

I loved the real, clean ingredients list without additives or fillers, so I was super excited to try this product. And it does seem like a very high quality product. Unfortunately, it tastes absolutely repulsive. I simply couldn’t stomach it long enough to notice any health benefits.
