Green Drink Reviews: Antioxidant Natural Greens

July 5th, 2008

Antioxidant Greens has a unique approach to green drinks. It is formulated to provide everything you need — omega-3 fatty acids (from flax), green drink nutrients (from land and sea vegetables), and antioxidants (from fruits and green tea). Where most green drinks fall short in the antioxidant side of the equation, Antioxidant Natural Greens actually does well enough in each of these areas that you might not need much else in your basic nutrition foundation. Many drinks don’t attempt this because the taste is rather difficult to get right — but this product is flavored (with natural flavoring and stevia for sweetener) to overcome the taste barrier. You’ll have to try it to see if you like the taste — not everyone will. If you do, this is a great value at under $3 per ounce.

If you want a similar formulation without the flax (provides fatty acids but is also used as filler), then compare this with Delicious Greens 8000.

Pros

Excellent formulation with plenty of Omega-3s, antioxidants, and nutrients from greens. The greens focus on spirulina, chlorella, grasses and veggie powders. The antioxidants come from a variety of sources, including green tea and fruit powders. Great additions include pomegranate powder, milk thistle seed extract, tumeric and red wine extract. Flax meal is cold processed to keep it fresh. Excellent price!

Cons

Not everyone will like the flavors and you probably can’t do much to modify it (other than using different juices with the berry flavor). Antioxidant Natural Greens is not gluten free.
