[QUOTE="KevinPotts, post: 1220889, member: 290458"] Yep - every day first thing with my coffee and cream: Both from [URL="http://www.nuzest.co.uk"]www.nuzest.co.uk[/URL] 10g Good Green Stuff 25g Clean Lean Protein (Wild stawb flavour) Mixed with 600 ml water, 1 tablesp milled chia and 1 tablesp milled flax + 1 X 1000mg vit C dissolved in 300 ml water So with the coffee lots of hydration to start the day and some essential goodness. When I started NuZest stuff I did some research here's my "report back": One of this community introduced my to Good Green Stuff by NuZest a few days ago, [URL='http://www.nuzest.co.uk']www.nuzest.co.uk[/URL] so I reviewed the site and was sufficiently interested to purchase a sample, good old guinea pig that I am. This morning, said sample was consumed and as I did quite a bit of research last night, I thought the community might be interested in my thoughts....yes I know it's a forlorn hope...my kids and wife aren't interested so why should you be. Well here goes...by the way for the cynical amongst you (never) I am not an affiliate or in any way shape or form associated with NuZest:) So Good Green Stuff is a powder supplement. You take 10g with 300ml of water. It is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, GMO free and suitable for vegans, although I am as far away from being a vegan as you can imagine. It contains: 21 real plant food 21 Plant extracts 16 essential vitamins 11 essential minerals Fibres and microbiotics Enyzmes Bioflavonoids The product summary benefits are: Quick and easy, all in one solution - took me about 20 seconds to prepare this morning and was a smooth mix with the water. Easy to digest and absorb - no fillers or preservatives as in the tab multi vits Free from as I noted above Sharpens the mind and helps with stress - more on that in a mo Supports digestive health and immunity - more on that as well in a mo Its alkaline and tastes great - "Great" where did they get their copywriter from - its certainly inocuous and to my palate slightly vanilla, so easy to drink, but Great.....come on NuZest:) This drink supplement certainly seems to have more than any of my multi vits and more than just greens with 75+ ingredients; Greens, fruits (don't worry the fructose is infinitesimal) infact the entire product is extremely low carb, which I why I thought I'd test it out. Vegetables and berries, strengthened with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics and digestive enzymes. So.....it mixes fine to a powerderless smooth drink, not much denser than the water you add and tastes perfectly paletable. So what exactly is in it and what does each of the ingredients do and are they material towards a RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) and that's where I spent 2 hours analysing last night.....I know, I'm a total sado:) Here goes: PLANT FOODS: Organic spirulina: lake algae, contains amino acides, RDA suggests 3 g per day, this is 1g, so 33% European Pea protein isolate: amino acids, protein and BCAA (branch chain amino acides) no RDA. 904mg Lecithin: fibre and helps with weight loss.
