Energy & Stamina Powder, Blend of Adaptogenic Herbs, Cordyceps, Maca & Vegetables, Plant-Based Formula, No Fillers, No Sugar Added - 40 Servings

This green powder is surprisingly tasty. It has a sweet, fruity flavor added that masks most of the green flavor. It is a pineapple-coconut flavor, but I would not have guessed that after tasting it. I like it, though, and don't have to add the powder to something else to drink it. I add a scoop of the powder to my shaker bottle with water and drink it in the morning with no problem. The powder is fine and it shakes up without any problem, but you have to drink it quickly or the powder will settle down to the bottom. I recommend you use your shaker bottle so you can keep shaking it, if needed, or add a scoop of powder to your morning smoothie.This green powder includes veggies, mushrooms, ginkgo biloba, apple cider vinegar, spirulina, red ginseng, Ashwagandha, and more. I love the versatility of the powder and that it is a blend of so many healthy supplements in 1 tasty blend. I like to take it in the morning for the brain boost, the stress relief and the natural energy boost that these ingredients are supposed to bring. I think it is a great way to start your day and feel that it is really helping me. I have not experienced any negative side effects and am enjoying adding this healthy step to my daily routine.

UPDATED Review 12-26-2023:I'm not entirely negative about this product. I still have a problem with the taste as I've tried this a few more times and I have yet to have a batch that is completely dissolved. Having said that, I have been able to get past the bad taste that only lasts a minute or so, and have been able to experience the energy boost that this provides.One concern that I have with products that contain high levels of caffeine is that it can interfere with sleep the following night. Even though this product does seem to contain a high level of caffeine, it has not caused any problems with my sleeping. In fact, I would suggest that I've slept better after using this product that I normally do... without any products.The energy/alertness that it has given me spikes for the first 30-45 minutes, but then it flattens and seems to stay fairly constant for almost 10 hours. I normally feel the need to take a nap a couple of times throughout the day as my normal energy level seems to go up and down. With this product, I didn't feel the need to take those naps and my energy level seemed to stay fairly constant but not with jitters like other caffeine products.In order to get past the bad taste, I've resorted to mixing with a lot less water -- about half the recommended amount. The water I use is "warm", and I'm a lot more aggressive in my attempt to mix, even using a hand held mixer. And then I drink it as fast as possible and follow it with another glass of water.ORIGINAL Review 12-23-2023:The instructions suggest to mix 1 scoop in 200-250ml of cold water. I did that in a mixer bottle and shook it aggressively for about 30 seconds. There was still a little of the undissolved particles floating around. In many cases, the undissolved particles are innocent bits of vegetable that have little or no flavor. Unfortunately, I found out that's not the case with this product.Those little bits have a nasty flavor. When I first took a sip, the flavor was a little sweet and a bit like Pineapple. But that passed and I had a bit of undissolved material left on my tongue and it tasted really bad.I let the product sit for a few minutes hoping that the particles would dissolve. But they never did. I wound up gulping down the rest of the drink. Even then, it left a nasty taste in my mouth that I had to follow with a drink of water.The product does seem to give me energy without the jitters normally associated with caffeine. I suspect that has to be the Theanine.The labeling is a bit incomplete. It says "Contains Caffeine" but doesn't say how much. Since I felt an increase in perceived energy, I suspect it has a significant amount of caffeine. That's great if you're looking for a pick-me-up to get you out of your morning blues. But I would be a bit hesitant to drink this after 10am as it will probably interfere with sleep... which is probably why you have the morning blues.Most of the ingredients would seem to have some vitamin or mineral content. But the label doesn't enumerate the vitamin or mineral content of the product. In fact the label isn't as complete as the description page in terms of showing content.I don't recommend this product. Besides the lack of labeling, the nasty taste is something I can't get past.

I always look to see if Spirulina is the base of smoothie powders: yes on the Spirulina. While there is No Wheatgrass in the mix, the mixture has Maitake mushroom powder in it, this is a plus because I feel adding mushrooms to the diet is important for digestive health/overall health and well-being. The ingredient list is impressive, especially what the brand lists as its Star players for immunity and antioxidant properties: American Ginseng, Echinacea, Maitake, Black Elder and Astragalus . I agree with this marketing statment.I can't assume that the ingredients are "organic", but I get the impression they are all high quality. I noticed the fiber level is not as high as other brands, however, I merely added my ground flaxseed and chia seed to beef up the fiber/protein level and made a berry smoothie with the powder. I am very pleased overall with the product and have been using it as a breakfast substitute or snack replacement. I feel comfortable rating this 5 stars despite the lower fiber content because the ingredient list is impressive and wide ranging so that my smoothies have a solid nutritional quality.

I was expecting a more natural flavor. It tastes synthetic and do not recommend. Cannot be returned.

I tried the brain and vitality formula and really impressed with the taste for a 'green' powder mix. It has other ingredients like ginko (herb) and lion's mane (mushroom) that are used for brain power. Don't expect a miracle since other factors may be playing a bigger role in why you may be having a hard time focusing, but as a supplement this one is good overall and high quality.
