Why people keep reordering it
- Clean fuel
- Quality protein and greens without the junk.
- Easy to mix
- Blends smooth into water, milk or a smoothie.
- Recovery and everyday nutrition
- Supports muscle, energy and filling dietary gaps.
Best suited to: eats almost no vegetables on weekdays, wants a light greens drink, not a meal, gave up on plain grass powders over the taste.
What the research supports
A 14 g scoop delivers 6 g of fermented plant protein plus a greens and mushroom blend. The 405 g tub makes about 29 servings.
Greens powders have no research dose. The 6 g of protein is the only number here you can compare against anything, and it is a top-up rather than a full serving.
- Immunity (evidence: strong, from )
- Acerola cherry is one of the most concentrated natural sources of vitamin C, which your body uses to build collagen and power immune cells.
- Muscle recovery (evidence: moderate, from )
- Pea protein runs low in methionine and rice runs low in lysine; combined, they cover for each other, giving your muscles a fuller set of amino acids to repair with after use.
- Antioxidants (evidence: limited, from small human trials)
- Dried fruit, grass and vegetable powders raise the antioxidant compounds your blood carries, though drying and processing lowers those levels compared with the same plants eaten fresh.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- eats almost no vegetables on weekdays
- One scoop puts fermented kale, beet, broccoli, spinach, cabbage and roughly 20 other plants into a day that had none of them.
- wants a light greens drink, not a meal
- At a 14 g scoop with 6 g of protein it mixes thin in water rather than sitting in you like a 33 g protein shake.
- gave up on plain grass powders over the taste
- Tropical flavouring and acerola cherry sit on top of the barley and wheat grass base that unflavoured greens leave exposed.
Look elsewhere if
- using a shake to hit a daily protein target
- 6 g a scoop will not move that number. The 21 g protein version of this same fermented blend, or a plain pea protein isolate at 20 to 25 g a scoop, is what that job needs.
- wants a real dose of reishi or cordyceps
- Buy a single mushroom extract that prints milligrams and a beta-glucan percentage per capsule, since a shared 14 g scoop cannot hold a functional amount of six mushrooms.
- avoiding stevia sweeteners entirely
- A single-ingredient grass, spirulina or vegetable powder with no sweetener listed, mixed into juice if the taste is hard to take.
What to expect
Expect a sweet tropical drink over a green base, thin in water and thicker in a smoothie. Nothing happens acutely. The honest thing to expect over a few weeks is a steadier intake of plant micronutrients plus 6 g of protein you were not otherwise getting.
How it compares
- Compared with a plain barley and wheat grass powder
- This is fermented before drying, adds 6 g of protein and acerola cherry, and the tropical flavouring makes it drinkable in plain water. The tradeoff: You are paying for protein and flavouring you may not want, and at 29 servings a tub the cost per drink runs well above a straight grass powder.
- Compared with the 21 g protein version of this same fermented blend
- Half the scoop size and a thinner drink, which suits someone topping up produce rather than replacing a meal. The tradeoff: If you ever reach for it after training or in place of breakfast you are about 15 g of protein short.
