So this stuff is supposed to be the shit with regards to vegetative supplements but it tastes SO fucking bad and holy shit does it leave a lingering aftertaste.

Anybody use this shit and have any tricks to made it more user-friendly?

you really don't need to be eating veggies 5 times a day. Just make sure you get your dark leafy greens, and then have a fruit bowl out in the kitchen that you can nibble on a few times a day.

Five times a day might be a bit overboard, but probably doesn't hurt. I always just make sure that I get them in with a dinner-type meal.

For me, I didn't like the taste of broccoli either but found out it was a lot more pleasing when left crisp, rather than soft and almost falling apart.

I don't think you're going to have much luck covering up that taste. It is strong enough to negate juice.

i think i am simply going to shoot it. something like pour it into a shot-glass full of hot water and then gulp it down with a glass of water.

the trick is to not be a baby.. but if you weren't a baby you'd just eat some raw vegetables instead

i love spinach... so i get a good deal of my greens there. And yes, people do take certain greens and blend the shit out of them and do shooters.

i just took a shot glass, filled it with warm water from the sink, added some greens+ and shot it. i chased it with my after-workout shake. not bad at all...

Badass. Can't believe this slipped my supplement thread.

I just looked at their site. Why didn't you opt for the capsules then? 12 capsules daily sounds like a good tradeoff for having a crappy taste linger in your mouth from the powder form. :P
