The assignment…
To see if the Amazing Grass Original Greens Blend ($39.99) is an easy, convenient way to add more greens to my diet.
What I tested…
The Original Greens Blend — Amazing Grass’s most popular powder blend — has vitamins C and K and a purposeful combination of 14 greens, fruits, and veggies. Plus, it’s a good source of fiber.
Straight A’s in…
Convenience. This superfood blend is so convenient, I didn’t have to make any changes to my routine. I simply added a scoop to my morning smoothie or whatever food I was cooking and mixed it right in. I didn’t even have to find a measuring cup since the container comes with its own scooper. I especially appreciated that the container didn’t take up too much space on my kitchen counter, since mine is on the smaller side. Plus, the air-tight lid was easy to twist on and off.
Mixability. The powder blended seamlessly into my morning smoothie. When I added it to food like zucchini muffins and pesto, it was undetectable. Adding the blend to various dishes and drinks didn’t change the flavor or add extra prep time in the kitchen. Now that’s what I call a win-win.
The healthy nutrients in every scoop. It was such a relief knowing that each time I mixed in a scoop, I was getting a boost of fiber and Vitamins C and K.
Works best for….
Anyone who wants to incorporate fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K into their routine and support their overall health and wellness.
Gets extra credit for…
Amazing Grass has delicious recipes for smoothies, baked goods, and more. The classic green smoothie and zucchini muffins are my personal faves.
It’s gluten-free, made with non-GMO, plant-based ingredients, and there’s no added sugar.

How I did my homework…
I tested the Original Greens Blend for two weeks. I added a scoop to various smoothies and recipes to see how well it mixed in with different ingredients and dishes. The powder seamlessly blended into everything and I felt amazing knowing I was supporting my overall health and wellness simply by adding this to my routine.

The powder is available in a variety of flavors and functions like their sweet berry-flavored Greens Blend Antioxidant and their watermelon-flavored Greens Blend Energy.
