so amazing

Hi. It’s me, Chelsey.

You might remember when you sent me food to sample and review. No? You don’t? It might be because it was a while ago. Two weeks ago maybe? ::sigh: Okay, it was a whole month ago. A whole month has gone by and I have yet to utter a word on my blog about it.

I am extremely sorry. I’m a bad blogger. Shun me if you must.

Not that I am trying to make excuses for my poor life decisions, but you sent me a lot of products to try. For that, I am eternally grateful. You see, there wasn’t any way I could pound through all of the products in a day… a week… even two weeks! I wanted to take my time to sample and try each individual product and really extend the time in which I had super greens at my finger tips.

I hope you’ll forgive me because I really like your stuff. I’m hoping we could you know, take our relationship to the next level sometime soon. I’m not sure what that means in the world of food blogging, but I can’t imagine it could be a bad thing.

I want you to know that the first thing I tried was your Whole Food Energy Bar.

Â

I was a little… nervous. I mean, it was actually green. You know what? It tasted green too. And I can’t say that I hated it. With each bite, I kind of felt like I was getting healthier. I somehow detected a hint of raspberry while eating this, and well — the smooth cocoa aftertaste didn’t bother me one bit. Your bar even had beets in it. If beets don’t say “love me for who I am”, I don’t know what does.

Â

I then tried the rest of your bars — Chocolate Peanut Butter, Berry Whole Foods, and Chocolate Whole Foods. I have to tell you, Amazing Grass, I loved the Chocolate Peanut Butter the most. I was impressed with the protein (a whopping 10 grams!), and well, anything covered in dark chocolate is a-ok in my book.

I can’t say I loved the Berry bar though. I don’t like giving bad reviews, but well, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. Thankfully, I thoroughly enjoyed the other three you let me try.

I’ve had days upon weeks to sample all of your super food products too. I don’t know how you fit so many nutrients into one little packet, but however you do it, don’t let your secret out. Keep it all to yourself and bank on it — I give you my blessing.

I’m so glad you let me try them all — berry, lemon lime, chocolate, and orange. Your directions told me to put these in water… and well, I couldn’t do it. What I could do though, was put them in smoothies… and oats! Your chocolate flavor was the perfect addition to my morning bowl of creamy oatmeal.

I know what others might be thinking Amazing Grass — my oatmeal looks kind of… green. Don’t you worry, I will assure them that it’s supposed to look that way — that you don’t just call it GREENsuperfood for nothing. I got your back.

Â Â Oh, and that Amazing Meal? Absolutely Amazing. Your name says it all. Organic, raw, gluten free, dairy free — everything my little heartÂ digestive tract desires. It doesn’t hurt that with 100 calories, you managed to pack a punch of 10 grams of protein into the mix. What a perfect addition to my epic green monsters. I can’t thank you enough.

I also hope the higher ups of Amazing Grass are serious about putting out this Vanilla Chai flavor. If not, I will surely be disappointed. I know it says “new”, but you need to induct this bad boy into the hall of fame A.S.A.P. — okay, I know I’ve been known to exaggerate a little bit, but I am serious. So. Good.

You want to know what else I like about you Amazing Grass? You’re always thinking about the next generation.

Those kidz out there need SuperFoods too, don’t they? What better way to give it to them than with a great cartoon and brightly colored packaging with the word “kidz” printed on them. Because kids love the “z” ending. Take that from a girl who allowed her friends to call her “Chelz” for the majority of her tween years.

Again, Amazing Grass, the chocolate was my favorite (I’m starting to see a trend here). I enjoyed them in the way I know best — pancakes.
