I never say never, but you will never see me belly up to a juice bar waiting for a shot of wheat grass.
However, if that bar had Chocolate Amazing Grass GREEN SuperFood on tap, I’d order a round.
Thanks to Kalli, I finally got my hands on some Amazing Grass after winning it on her Amazing Blog.
I’ve tried a number of other green powdered drinks and haven’t been able to give them the green light, but this stuff is amazing and it doesn’t taste like grass, it tastes like chocolate. Seriously.
Besides the taste, here are just 3 of the many reasons I dig Amazing Grass:
- It’s organic, gluten free, vegan, and raw (which satisfies the raw-curious phase I’m going through right now)
- It’s packed full of probiotics and enzymes to aid digestion and absorption
- It naturally detoxifies and boosts your immune system
I’ve been mixing one scoop of chocolate Amazing Grass in protein shakes and yesterday I tried a scoop in about 10 ounces of cold water and loved every sip.
The good people at Amazing Grass also loaded me up with some amazing bars. Hello, chocolate peanut butter protein bar…it’s my favorite so far! You can bet I’ll be hunting more of these bad boys down at Whole Foods this weekend.
Now I really must go catch up on the World Cup, soccer is such a kick in the…(amazing) grass!

June 24th 2010Love this stuff. It’s how I snuck greens past my hubs (with the kid formula first, then the grown up chocolate). I have a friend with an advanced cancer diagnosis who shoots the wheat grass they make too. So, do you wash down your kale chips with this? Nom nom nom! :)

June 24th 2010I’ll admit I LOVE Amazing Grass too!! I’m not on for powders, or wheat grass or any of that sort of stuff, but like you, I really dig the Amazing Grass. I don’t dig the price though. It’s crazy high. Thankfully I have been getting a lot for free from blogs, and my mom :) Buying it will be rough! IF I do….

June 24th 2010I keep hearing about this all over, will have to check it out.
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says:
June 24th 2010I love the chocolate, too. I tried the plain wheat grass and, um, too grassy for me. The chocolate nicely masks that.

June 24th 2010I see this stuff everywhere but have yet to try it. Is it expensive?
Jennifer @ shesafitchick says:

June 24th 2010Why won’t you take a shot of wheatgrass? I just bought some and plan on juicing it… It’s supposed to be sooo good for you.
mary says:
June 24th 2010Ok just to follow up… I just juiced a bit of wheat grass. A handful gets you about 1.5 tablespoons. It wasn’t bad!!!! It tastes like grass smells. A bit of sweetness with a bit of an after taste so I can see why a chaser is needed. I got my wheatgrass at Whole Foods. Try it I’d love to hear what you think!
Lindsey @ Foodie on the Rocks says:
June 24th 2010Oh no. I see another blogosphere induced addiction coming on… My wallet is not a fan. But my stomach always wins that one, so who gives a rip what my wallet thinks! :D

June 24th 2010I am so behind I swear – I have yet to try amazing grass, haven’t even made a proper green monster! I hang my head in shame.
Fit Chick in the City says:
June 24th 2010I really do love Amazing grass, but I really can’t afford to buy their products as often as I’d like. But when I do… YUM!
FatFighterTV says:
June 24th 2010The random number generator loves you – you win a lot of prizes! Almost anything that tastes like chocolate is alright by me. :)

June 24th 2010“Raw-curious”- I love it! I’ve heard a lot about Amazing Grass…but if it really is that good, I’m sold!

June 24th 2010Ahhh thank you for this post! I have yet to try amazing grass and loved what you had to say about it.
I have been using alfalfa powder as my powdered greens in my smoothies etc. But now want to try this!

June 24th 2010I’ve never been big on wheat grass shots either, but may have to try this. It seems quite popular.
