Garden of Life Raw Perfect Food Capsules Original Formula Review

Today, I'm taking a look at Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Green Superfood Juiced Greens Powder. My beginning question is, why is that name so long? My second question is, what sets this apart from other greens powders?

The start matter I noticed had nothing to do with diet; it was the fact that Garden of Life is a certified B corporation, which means information technology meets rigorous standards of social and environmental responsibility, accountability and transparency. I know how vague that sounds, merely it's a certification that's incredibly difficult to obtain and it means that Garden of Life'southward efforts to work sustainably and their support for non-profit nutrition programs like Vitamin Angels are legit.

But what well-nigh the diet?

Garden of Life Perfect Nutrient

Garden of Life Perfect Food

A well priced greens drink with a stiff emphasis on digestive wellness.

Garden of Life Perfect Nutrient Ingredients

Organic and costless of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives, the ingredients are split into four categories. The principal ingredients are the "Organic The statesA. Farmed Green Juice Blend," which is made from the powdered juice of barley grass, alfalfa grass, oat grass, wheat grass, and kamut grass. Greens powder aficionados may know that powdered juice is more nutritious than pulverizing the entire institute, and co-ordinate to the packaging, a serving of this production's grass blend is six times more food dense than whole leaf grass pulverisation.

(Nosotros tried 47 brands: check out our best greenish superfood powder picks!)

The other 3 ingredient categories are a fruit and veggie juice blend, which is comprised of more than a dozen fruits and vegetables including apple, brussels sprouts, berries, cauliflower, and asparagus; a sprout blend that includes flax, millet, buckwheat, and several kinds of legumes and seeds (all sprouted); and a probiotic and enzyme blend of xiii digestive enzymes and iii kinds of probiotic bacteria. The total count of probiotics is 1.5 billion, which is relatively low but nonetheless a nice addition.

I serving contains 25 calories, two grams of protein, 4 grams of carbohydrates, ane gram of fiber, and no fat.

Garden of Life Perfect Nutrient Taste

The "original" flavor is very grassy. There are clearly no natural or bogus flavors or sweeteners in this product — it tastes of wheat grass and has a gritty, nutty aftertaste. This is probably because of the "Sprout Blend," which is heavy on flax, millet, buckwheat, and legumes.

It is unflavored, unsweetened, and unenjoyable, simply it'south non equally aggressivelybad and bitter every bit some other unflavored greens powders, and this is probably because of the fruits in the "antioxidant blend." It'due south very far from sweetness, just some unflavored powders gustatory modality then strongly of grass and earth that they brand me gag — Perfect Food didn't. Faint praise, I know.

Note that Garden of Life also sells this product in Apple and Chocolate (Cacao) flavors.

Garden of Life Perfect Nutrient Benefits and Effectiveness

And then, maybe the juice powder is more nutritious than leaf powder, but what'due south on the actual diet characterization, where it counts?

Thankfully, there's a decent amount of information here: the most notable nutrients are the 40 percent of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C, the 110 percent of your daily Vitamin K, xx percent of your manganese, the ten percent of your riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and ten pct of your atomic number 26.

Given the price (see below), the digestive enzymes and the 1.v billion probiotics, that's a pretty nice spectrum of nutrition. All the same, given that almost half of the content by weight is an "organic fruit & veggie antioxidant blend," I would have liked more information about the antioxidant content, like an ORAC score or info equally to whether or non it's equivalent to 1 or more servings of, say, dark leafy greens.

I as well wasn't a fan of the fact that the word "Detoxify" is front and heart on the label, simply no information is provided as to how the product helps that occur.

Garden of Life Perfect Food Price

At around $23 for 30 servings, or 76 cents per serving, it'southward cheap, particularly since a lot of greens powders only provide antioxidants and/or probiotics, while this offers a decent amount of vitamins and minerals, too.

Compare that with Athletic Greens ($4.23/serving), Onnit'southward Earth Grown Nutrients ($two.30/serving), Patriot Power Greens ($1.96/serving) AI Sports Nutrition Red & Greens XT ($1.33/serving), Vitamineral Green ($one.16/serving), Dark-green Vibrance ($i.08/serving), ORAC-Energy Greens ($1/serving), PharmaFreak Greens Freak ($1/serving), Macro Greens Superfood ($0.72/serving), Sunday Warrior'southward Supergreens ($0.55/serving), and Amazing Grass'southward Light-green Superfood ($0.52/serving).

The Takeaway

Frankly speaking, when a production is this inexpensive, I'm not every bit critical every bit I am of pricier products. (Some other greens powders are v or half dozen times more expensive.)

Only even taking a critical heart to Garden of Life, it's a pretty solid product: it delivers a decent amount of vitamins C, K, manganese, iron, enzymes, and probiotics for a very depression price. I would have liked a little more than information about the antioxidant content, but given the ingredients list I have faith that it's pretty high in this department as well. Plus, given it's a B Corporation, you tin know that part of your money is supporting charity and sustainability.
