Greens Supplements?
Are they any good or are they in general a waste of money? I was looking at oximega greens and the price looks decent but I can't really tell if the amounts of each of the vegetables will even amount to anything or if I should just try to mix all my own shakes. Thanks if anyone has any advice or experience with these supplements - I rarely see them mentioned.

Most of the greens supp I use makes me feel no different. But I just get a higher dosage with Magnum Performance Greens, or you could just use 2 scoops of oximega per day.

Novaform's CytoGreens is awesome!

Great profile, tastes pretty good. Now it is a greens drink so it wont be like juice. But Acai Berry Green Tea fits the flavor perfect

Green Vibrance all the way. It doubles as potent digestive support with the enzymes complete and heavy dose of probiotics.
My runner up if cost is a concern (and it's just a good value in general when you buy it together with the fish oil), is Oximega Greens.
Combined with a quality multi, a few servings of veggies a day, maybe some D3 supplementation to hit roughly 4000 iu a day, you will be well covered.

Greens are a good addition to support general health.
If you like Green Tea as well, check out our Magic Matcha (15% off this month). 1 cup yields 10 Xs the antioxidants of normal green tea (you can drink it warm or cold, cook with it, etc)

OP greens are not a waste, in fact they are one of the best things you can buy for general health, especially if your diet is not super high in greens to begin with.
Here are some of the benefits:

I'm probably one of the individuals who doesn't consume enough greens on a regular basis. V8 veggie juice is another option you could look at.

Why is Green Vibrance getting so little love?
[url]http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/vibrant-health/green-viberance.html[/url]
Stuff is a life saver and I can tell the difference being on it and not being on it. Just look at the profile on that bad boy. Does double duty as a very good probiotic as well.

Little pricy. No doubt good, but a little pricy. Hard to beat what CL is offering currently.

get a magic bullet and a bunch of produce, you can make your own
real vegetables are also neat

Too high in sodium for regular use, IMO. And the low sodium one is just narsty.

I have some of the low sodium kind.. not to bad. I usually just chug it, however. Kind of heavy in potassium.

Is is the best tasting option for blending. It also tastesphenomenal all by its lonesome.

I've tried so many different greens product and the best one that I have tried is CytoGreens by far. This product is like having Phytoberry and Veggegreens by Progressive in one product. Ph balances in your body are extremely important and this product will be sure to do an awesome job of that!

A 'Greens' product is always a nice addition into one's diet. This is what I'm currently using -->[url]http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/barleans/greens.html[/url]

good recipe, i make something very similar but i use coconut milk instead
it's not often you see a supplement company rep (or owner in this case) advise someone to get their greens from whole foods, so you are solid in my book

Thanks, the recipe also calls for a coconut milk as an alternative as well. Great minds think alike!

Mix it up and try a different product. Amazing Grass has some flavors that mix well in oatmeal and protein.

No artificial flavoring/sugars or colors either :)

I highly doubt that adding colours to something that is already very brown would do much of anything. LoL.

At my age, I am only 6 years older than you, I tend to avoid this as much as possible. At 32, I did not care so much. Maybe I am becoming a hippy, but I prefer cane sugar to artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose. I will use stevia instead if I need to keep calories in check and need to sweeten something.
I guess maybe I am becoming a hippy as I am using veggie caps for my fat burner with not artificial colors or dyes for the capsules.
