One of my favorite quick healthy foods is the VitamineralGreen powder! This is a total food, not a supplement. I have been using it for a few months now and it's so good and so simple and very absorbable. Anyone else try it too?

Re: Vitamineral Green
Tue, December 12, 2006 - 10:32 AMIs this the same as the "Very Green" powder you can buy at Trader Joes? How do you use it aside from making a smoothie? -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Wed, December 13, 2006 - 8:03 AMIt looks the same but the Vitamineral green is more expensive and tastes better. I've heard good things about both. I usually make smoothies, or just add it to water and drink.

Re: Vitamineral Green
Wed, December 13, 2006 - 11:28 AMdo you use a blender or just mix with the spoon? i'm too lazy to have to clean a blender afterwards. -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Wed, December 13, 2006 - 2:20 PMi just mix with a spoon, but you gotta mix pretty well so all the vitamineral green clumps are gone. i actually put it all into a Nalgene water bottle and then mix the nalgene and it works great. I just love it. it's like my coffee cup, but it's a vitamineral green cup.

Re: Vitamineral Green
Thu, December 14, 2006 - 2:57 AMI have used Vitamineral Green. Very good indeed. When I did my cleanse, my skin cleared up except for this one pimple wound in my face that would not go away. Then I started taking the Vitamineral Green and 2 weeks later realized that my wound had healed and totally disappeared. It is also good to replenish the flora in the stomach with Vitamineral Green.

Re: Vitamineral Green
Fri, December 15, 2006 - 9:59 PMVItamineralGreen contains numerous land vegetables, algaes, aquatic veggies, and enzymes. I highly reccommend including all these into your diet as much as possible because of the high chlorophyll content (which your bodies immune system relies upon to encourage the probiotics survival), and vitamine B's (which are directly linked to your nervous system, allowing your body to produce an abundance of hormones like endorphines that keep you happy). -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Sun, December 17, 2006 - 7:41 PMWell, I just bought my very first bottle of Vitamineral Green, and I'll start using it tomorrow. I'm very excited. :) And I don't expect it to help my acne, but if it did, that'd be one hell of a side benefit. -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Mon, December 18, 2006 - 12:12 PMI put a teaspoon of it in my cereal this morning, and it was... um... somewhat unpleasant. Not thoroughly revolting (except in appearance), but it could be once I'm up to maintenance. I'm not really sure how I should take it, especially as I work my way up to 1-2 heaping tablespoons per day. I'm not allowed to eat fruit (or sugar), so I can't make smoothies. It occurs to me that I might need to just put some water in a plastic bottle, add the stuff, shake it up, close my eyes and think of the queen, and chug it as fast as I can. But I fear that I might start avoiding it if I can't think of a non-noxious way to take the stuff.
Any suggestions?
Also, for the people here who *do* take it, how much do you take per day? -
-
Re: Vitamineral Green
Mon, December 18, 2006 - 10:03 PMI like it much better by drinking it in simply water or juice than in actually something I eat. Believe it or not but now when I drink it with water it is so refreshing that I love it and I look forward to it. I know this might not help because I'm saying that I just love it in water. Let me know what you think.
I would also love to know how other people have used Vitamineral Green. -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Mon, December 18, 2006 - 10:10 PMHow much VG do you put in how much water? -
-
Re: Vitamineral Green
Tue, December 19, 2006 - 6:56 AMI put 2-3 big tablespoons of VG in a one liter Nalgene, with an extra teaspoon of Nutrex Spirulina. I fill up the Nalgene, shake it up and drink it all morning. Then when I'm done there is some residual VG still in the nalgene, so I fill it up again with filtered water and drink another liter over a few hours. It's a great way to stay hydrated during the work day too. Let me know if you try it and what you think. -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Tue, December 19, 2006 - 12:59 PMI just tried it in water, and, remarkably, the first couple of swallows weren't bad. But by the time I finished it, I thought I was going to be ill. And it was only two teaspoons.
Perhaps I should try spreading it out over a couple of hours, like you do, instead of chugging it all at once. Ugh.

I've never tried the stuff, but if it is more savory/seaweedy in flavour, what about putting it in a soup or in some bullion? Personally, I don't like it when people try to hide more savory flavours in smoothies -- it never tastes right.
-
-
Re: Vitamineral Green
Tue, December 19, 2006 - 1:02 PMI don't think it tastes savory, really. It tastes... well... "green." *laughing* I know that sounds funny, but I'm not sure how else to describe it. If the color "green" had a flavor, this would probably be it. -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Tue, December 19, 2006 - 6:05 PM
Hmmm.... "green". That is how nettle tea tastes to me. And wheatgrass juice. Is it like either of those? Either of those I would think would be good mixed with bullion or broth. Well I hope you find a way that works for you.

Re: Vitamineral Green
Tue, December 19, 2006 - 8:42 PMSpread it out over a few hours. I think that's the best. I totally agree with the "green" flavor!!! lol. it's actually "greener" than wheatgrass juice. I never thought of bullion or broth. i might try that one day. It's important to make it drinkable, because you'd like to be able to drink it everyday. so maybe use more water with the 2 teaspoons. let me know.

I don't remember how the nettle tea I had tasted (I've only had it once), but wheatgrass juice is a tough call. It does taste awfully green. Maybe they're just different shades of green. :) But I think I prefer the taste of wheatgrass juice. It tastes like a freshly-mowed lawn smells. -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Wed, December 20, 2006 - 1:23 PMI'm revising my "it tastes like 'green'" statement. I'm sipping it right now, and I actually think it tastes something like (unsweetened) instant iced tea mix (you know, that brown powder you mix in with cold water -- I haven't had it in years). -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Wed, December 20, 2006 - 4:22 PMhmm... this sounds like a 16 year-old's stoned conversation. Like the time we thought Choward's Violet candies tasted like "Purple"... oh, wait. they still do, Duuuuuudddee :)

It's not bad that way, but be careful of the VG clumps -

Re: Vitamineral Green
Mon, December 25, 2006 - 8:07 PMI don't drink vitamineral green but I do drink another green drink/herbal suppliment powder (Tonic Alchemy - tonicalchemy.com/). If I can't do a smoothie for some reason I'll put it in a shot sized amount of water and quickly down it like wheatgrass. I don't know if this is something that might work for you. -

FOUND VITAMINERAL GREEN CHEAP!!
Thu, March 13, 2008 - 1:54 AMI love Vitamineral Green. Ive been using it everyday for several months & it sure has helped improve my health. It's expensive though, but I finally found a place that sells it cheaper $40. You have to buy in bulk, but its well worth it. Dimondhealth.com. Great customer service too.

Re: Vitamineral Green
Sat, March 15, 2008 - 12:53 PMI really like it with Orange Juice, a heaping spoonful or so... Just plain water works too, but then its definately a stronger taste.

Re: Vitamineral Green
Sat, March 22, 2008 - 6:42 PMWow, this stuff seems to be suddenly all the rage. Several people at my work are drinking it . . . one swears by it, another thinks it's super nasty and is kind of regretting spending the money. Bu she's a little princess-y so if it tastes gross, that would probably trump anything else. I might try it . . . always looking for new sources of energy that are healthier than my Red Bull habit . . . -

Re: Vitamineral Green

Re: Vitamineral Green
Sat, April 26, 2008 - 2:56 PMI started using this product eight years ago after a health condition limited me to a liquid diet at the time. I highly recommend this product to everyone, I still consume it everyday. I start each day with a smoothie containing: Vitamineral Green, a banana, a cup of blueberries (or blackberries), soy protein powder, soy milk, orange juice, and a tablespoon of flax oil.

Re: Vitamineral Green
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 10:56 PMWell, you all certainly peaked my interest. After reading, & skipping around the web a bit, I decided to jump right in and got both the Green and the Earth...anyone tried VitaMineral Earth yet?
I'm not looking forward to downing nasty, but if the benefits are for real, I will do it.
