Green Drink Reviews: Berry Green
July 6th, 2008
This product, while on the expensive side, is almost completely without fillers of any kind. It contains just a bit of brown rice solids, but otherwise, it’s pure functional. It features spinach and other healthy veggie powders (kale, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts), plus fruit powders like blueberry, cranberry, pomegranate and papaya. This explains the price point of the product; it contains high-end ingredients and pure vegetable and fruit powders. Overall, This is an excellent formulation if a bit expensive at $5.51 per ounce.
Compare this toVitamineral Green, which also has no fillers, but uses a different philosophy in formulation — using more grasses and spirulina instead of the veggies and fruits in Berry Green. Both are good formulations.

I did not like this one. If memory serves me right it contained a lot of spice, perhaps turmeric, which gave me a burning feeling and made me a bit sick, no matter how I adjusted the amount or how long I stuck with it. I also did not feel the nutrient energy boost I typically feel with a good green formula.
I eat 9 or 10 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day anyway, so taking berries in powdered form doesn’t do much for me when I’ve already had two cups of fresh berries.
I prefer powdered sea vegetables and grasses.

Elizabeth,
Berry Green doesn’t contain turmeric or any other spice and it has virtually no taste when mixed with juice. Turmeric is good in cooking but I can’t imagine it tastes very good in a glass of juice.

Actually, of all the spices that are sometimes added to these mixtures, tumeric is among the least offensive. Tumeric does not have a strong taste and, in moderation, it can be used in drinks without negative effects on the flavor. Still, if you’re sensitive to taste, then perhaps it’s best to stick with formulations that do not have these spices. Berry Green is a good choice and has a great taste.
