Whole Food Ingredients - Green SuperFood Energy

Our Premium Blend of Organic SuperFoods Provides Amazing Energy and Amazing Health!

When it comes to a healthy diet it’s all about the quality of ingredients, right? In some cases you need to be careful about quantity, too. Other brands ‘green’ superfoods contain minute quantities of the important ingredients, preferring to fill their products with larger amounts of inexpensive fillers. Check other labels for yourself and compare to Amazing Grass products.

Our Green SuperFood Energy contains premium whole food ingredients that your body needs and none of the inexpensive fillers and nonessential ingredients you don’t. Amazing Grass customers buy our products because they care about value and quality of ingredients. They continue to consume Green SuperFood Energy because they feel a difference in their health. That difference, the pursuit of a healthy enjoyable life, is our passion.

Please find below our Green SuperFood Energy ingredient list, as well as a brief description on the benefits of each (listed by sub-blend).

FOS are not metabolized by the body like simple sugars are and, therefore are considered soluble fiber. They occur naturally in bananas, garlic, onions, artichokes, and a variety of other plants. Our premium FOS comes from Chicory Root. FOS are considered prebiotic, because they feed beneficial intestinal bacteria (probiotics), particularly Bifidus. FOS are low-calorie sweeteners and are only half as sweet as sucrose, while having minimal caloric value.
