The Green Drink

This Green Drink mix provides an unequaled combination of whole foods, delivering many of the nutrients your body needs. The exceptional mixture of nutrients in the Green Drink are as nature intended – from all-natural whole food sources. The company has selected a variety of superfoods through a meticulous process and combined them into a refreshing drink mix to help your body achieve optimum performance. This tasty beverage is a delightful addition to your dietary needs and provides an all-natural alternative to synthetic vitamins and processed foods.

When comparing nutritional drink mixes, the Green Drink clearly gives you the most for your money. It contains a wide variety of sprouted, organically grown grains and grasses with nutritional integrity and enzymatic activity. The Green Drink contains complete probiotic and enzymatic support. Moreover, what is absent from our green drink is just as important as what is in it. It does not contain artificial ingredients to sweeten or suspend the mix within liquid and it does not contain unnecessary fillers simply to increase weight. It does not contain isolated vitamins or minerals.

Only organically grown sprouts and grasses are used which includes an impressive number of grains including barley sprouts, green oat grass, oat sprouts, quinoa sprouts, soy sprouts, wheat grass, wheat sprouts, sprouted millet and spelt, and barley grass. All are harvested prior to what is called the "jointing stage" of a plant so that they retain their enzymatic activity and provide the highest density of nutrients. For those individuals who are concerned with the gluten found in many grains, all of the sprouts and grasses are considered gluten free because they are harvested before the gluten is formed within the plants.

Gram for gram, the Green Drink is your optimal nutritional drink mix. This nutritional powerhouse includes ingredients from both land and water. The company has included Blue Green Algae (both the Alpha Algae and the Omega Algae) plus two sea algae, Dulse and Kelp. The land plants include organically grown sprouts and grasses and all of the ingredients are packed with their own combinations of carotenoids, enzymes, antioxidants, amino acids and protein – all the components that are generally missing from the typical American diet of refined, processed and cooked foods.

The Green Drink can be described as a high-energy drink because it can unlock the body’s natural energies through its power as a living food. The complex carbohydrates offer long lasting energy, the protein can be used by the body to create lean connective tissue and the soluble and insoluble fiber can benefit the intestinal tract as well as reduce the high and low swings in blood glucose after meals. In addition, the fiber allows the human body to utilize food for energy rather then depositing it as fat. The finest formulator – Mother Nature, has created this entire combination.

Fiber: The Green Drink mix provides a balanced source of insoluble and soluble fiber, which allows your body to utilize food for energy. Fiber is necessary for proper elimination and helps control sugars, fats and cholesterol in the blood. Soluble fiber in sufficient amounts is also known to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease.

Lignin: Plant lignins provided by the Green Drink exhibit antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects which benefit not only the plants themselves but also those who consume the plants.

Protein: The Green Drink supplies complete protein and all of the amino acids used by the body to create muscles, enzymes, antibodies and lean connective tissue.

Enzymes: The natural enzymes in the Green Drink are from whole foods and also include powerful nutritional plant-based enzymes, which enhance digestive function.

Sprouted Grains: The company has included sprouted grains in the Green Drink to retain optimum enzymatic activity, nutritional content and amino acid profile. All grains are organically grown.

Minerals: The Green Drink mix contains the necessary minerals and trace minerals, which are essential for the proper functioning of the body.

Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll has been used since 1940 to treat many conditions. It has been found to offset the effects of radiation, boost immunity, prevent inflammation, fight anaerobic bacteria, detoxify the body and speed the healing of wounds. Chlorophyll, which has a chemical structure similar to hemoglobin, may also help to build the blood.

The comments that were received from the prototype bottles were overwhelmingly favorable. for example, the number one positive result experienced by the testing members was increased energy. The second was a feeling of satisfied appetite and fulfillment when used as a meal replacement and the third was more regular and improved bowel function. This was closely followed by an increased feeling of general well-being. All of these effects can be attributed to the unique blend of greens and grains.

The directions suggest mixing about 2 tablespoons of the powder with 16 ounces of juice but many people like to make it stronger – mixing more powder with less liquid. Others like to mix the Mazama Mix with soy or rice milk, with just water, or blenderize it with all sorts of combinations of fresh or frozen fruits and juices.

It is also very good when mixed with the Smoothie mix. However, it is not intended to be a replacement for the Smoothie, which is a more concentrated source of protein, but is a whole different product in that it contains whole foods and a very wide variety of nutrients from greens and grains. Think of the Mazama Mix as the healthiest salad you’ll ever drink. So if you need a pick me up, don’t pour a cup of coffee – the way to jump start your day is with a shot of nutrient dense food – grab a glass of Green Drink.
