Best I've ever had was Metrx Plus metamyosin...strawberry. Damn it taste like it has lots of carbs but it doesn't.

Can get at trader Joes for hella cheap..23 bucks for 2.2 lbs.

What is this superfood stuff you fellas speak of? I just ordered some greens+. What brand do you guys use?

There's like 5 random brands I use. PM me what you got man, I'm very particular about what's in mine. There's a lot of cheap brands that put shitty ingredients in them, totally ruins the whole point of using them.

This stuff is top notch: http://www.allstarhealth.com/f/garden_of_life-perfect_food_raw.htm

Do you feel more energetic, experience a better digestion/focus/recovery/strength etc after a few days?

Any good isolate that tastes good.

Species Isolyze ( I know everyone is gonna hate that lol ) but it really is good.

Isopure is always a good quality isolate, and I have yet to try gaspari's isofusion but heard its pretty good.

X2..USE IT CHOCOLATE GOOD..

Totally forgot about this one. I have been meaning to try it once I run out of Species Isolyze.

I did remember a friend mentioned he switched to that after using less protein powder in general. Its worth getting an isolate if you dont use that much. I rely on it in the morning and after workouts. So 4 workouts a week and 6-7 of the breakfasts for the week.

Otherwise, when I was younger and had time to train and eat and do nothing while at college the 5lbs jugs were a lifesaver :)

all of the above bro. Im not exaggerating. I feel it way more than my multi, and I've invested a good deal of money on finding a well crafted multi.

Everybody should be taking a superfood supp.

It's good to hear some experiences from the field, thanks.
I see they sell Garden of life products here in Europe as well, but not their powders.
I can get my hands on Total Nutri-Greens, which seems a pretty good blend, but what to look for/how to compare those superfood powders?

just use unflavoured whey (eg my protein even if their service has gone to shit in recent years)
try some cider vinigar for the flatulence - unless you intend to disperse it on this board

I'm a big consumer of their pure whey and other proteins as well. Mixing 2 scoops with a half cup of oats and a scoop of cacao powder with water tastes good. I always take 2 scoops of flax seed oil before (just DON'T mix it, lol)

A few things to look for:

1) minimal sugar content
2) no artificial sweeteners (stevia is ok)
3) a COMPREHENSIVE blend of plant, fruit, andveggie sources (you'll see the better brands have a lot more "good stuff" in em, also a lot more expensive to produce but there's a reason why they include them
4) mostly from organic sources
5) no soy derivatives
6) reasonably priced according to typical wholesale costs. Usually less than $1 per serving. There's a plethora of shitty brands selling for $0.50 per serving or less that are full of horseshit. Defeats the purpose of even using a superfood product

Two solid brands with Optimum and MusclePharm.

Never pay more than $45 for a 5LB tub which should last you two and a half months.

That's a good list, you clearly did your homework.
