Greens Food Powder???

[momto4]

Anyone have a favorite "greens powder" that you use. I prefer that it use stevia for sweetness (if in fact it is sweetened at all) instead of the others like splenda, ect.
TIA

I like Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion by Amazing Grass

VitaminLife.com: Amazing Grass Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion - 17.3 oz Powder - Meal Replacement/Protein Drinks, Powders, Supplements

It says that it has organic cane juice, <1 g of sugar in 1 scoop (the serving size).

Or just pea protein powder - not sweetened, though there is a brand that uses stevia- both use Belgian peas, but is produced here in Hawaii (locally for me). I am sure that there are brands that are available to you either locally or online.

Do you blend it with water? This sounds interesting and the price isn't bad.

I've had it just mixed with water and it's fine. But these days I add it to my green smoothie. I use about 8 oz water, handfuls of spinach and kale, a scoop of FD greens, and blackberries. Happy Happy!

I have been using trader Jose's super greens, mainly because it's cheap and tastes good. Seems to have the same ingredients as the others. I mix it with water, ginger, parsley, spinach, kale, half an orange and half an apple, and a handful of ice....delicious!!!!

Sometimes I add cucumber, celery, or avocado.

Thanks for the info. Just another quick question...do you use your green drink as a snack, in place of a meal, after a workout, ect? I'm new to the whole "green shake" thing so I'm just trying to figure it all out.

Has anyone tried athletic greens?

Momto4 - ideally I use my green smoothies post workout, as my carb replenishment, and then follow up about 30 minutes later with my lean protein - so think a pouch of tuna or salmon. It doesn't always happen that way of course. I aim to keep that many carbs earlier in my day, so if it gets to be too late (say after 4:00) I won't do a smoothie that includes my berries, but will use the powder greens with water only and take them straight. But I am very weird with nutrient timing. I also drink vinegar before my carb meals/drinks, since it slows the carb absorption. HA.
