For years I took spirulina, chlorella, wheat grass and barley grass in tablet form, gagging slightly every time because I knew they were good for me. I never felt much of an energy boost from any of them. When I finally decided to find a greens powder instead, I wanted one that covered the same ground in a single scoop and actually tasted like something I would drink on purpose. Amazing Grass Greens Blend Antioxidant in Sweet Berry is one of the better-tasting greens supplements I have tried, and it had everything I needed.

Quick verdict
If you have been choking down greens capsules and want to switch to a powder, this is a good place to land, especially if the idea of a plain grass-flavored drink puts you off. Sweet Berry tastes decent mixed into fruit juice or a smoothie, one scoop covers a broad blend of greens, antioxidant superfoods, prebiotics and probiotics, and it does not leave me jittery the way coffee can. It is not a magic bullet, and the berry does have a grassy edge when you mix it with plain water, so pair it with something fruity. check current price on Amazon
Why I bought Amazing Grass Greens Blend
My old routine was tablets: spirulina, chlorella, wheat grass and barley grass. They were supposedly great for me, but swallowing them was a small fight every morning and I never felt much from them. I put off a greens powder for a while because making a shake or smoothie every day sounded like a chore.
What pushed me over was wanting all of it in one scoop. The Antioxidant blend packs seven farm-fresh greens plus an antioxidant blend with camu camu, elderberry, mangosteen, beet root and more, along with prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes. I ordered the 30-serving Sweet Berry tub first, and I tried the Chocolate flavor too, because I was not sure I would even like a berry greens drink.
What it’s like to use
One scoop in cold fruit juice with a couple of ice cubes. I juice fruit every morning anyway, and the berry flavor complements it instead of fighting it, which is the whole reason this became a habit. In plain water the grass shows through, so I stopped mixing it that way after the first try.
The energy is what keeps me coming back. I notice it within minutes, but it is not a jittery, amphetamine-like spike like an energy drink; it is more a general absence of lethargy that lets me go about my day without wanting a nap or another espresso. My morning mental clarity feels a bit sharper too, whether that is the greens or just the routine. I take it on an empty or light stomach so everything absorbs properly.
Two things I noticed besides the energy: it curbs my appetite, almost like a small meal when mixed with protein powder, and it keeps me regular each day.
My afternoon shake is where the Chocolate flavor shines: organic rice protein, raw cacao powder, Chocolate Amazing Grass, flax milk and almond milk, blended up. It tastes like a chocolate milkshake with zero grassy undertones, and I sometimes make a second one as a snack. If flavor is your main worry with greens, start with Chocolate; the Berry is fine, but it smells a little grassy when you open the lid.

Who should skip it
If you want a greens powder you can stir into plain water and taste nothing, this is not the one; the berry flavor carries a grassy note on its own. If you would rather swallow capsules and never touch a shaker, stick with your capsules. And if you are after a stimulant-style jolt, look elsewhere; the energy here is mild and steady, not a buzz.
FAQ
What does Amazing Grass Greens Blend taste like?
Sweet Berry tastes a little grassy in plain water; that is the honest answer. Mixed into fruit juice or a smoothie, the berry flavor blends in and the grass disappears behind the fruit. The listing says you can also bake it into muffins, brownies or cookies for an antioxidant boost, though I have not tried that yet.
How do you take Amazing Grass Greens Blend?
One scoop with 8 ounces or more of water, juice or a smoothie, per the listing. I use cold fruit juice and a couple of ice cubes in the morning. I take it on an empty or light stomach so it absorbs well. That is the whole routine; under a minute, most days.
Does it give you energy like coffee does?
No, and for me that is the point. It is not a jittery, caffeine-style spike; it feels more like a general absence of lethargy that I notice within minutes of finishing the glass. I would not use it to pull an all-nighter. As the anchor of a morning ritual, it works.
Bottom line
Compared to other superfood supplements, Amazing Grass is a good value per serving, especially on Amazon. Years in, it is still my primary superfood powder, and the morning routine it anchors is one I have actually kept.
