Ok, so the green juice thing has been all the rage for some time. I've been curious about it but figured it tasted how it looks: vegetal. And to be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about drinking my veggies. I'm not a fan of Bloody Marys.
Taste and review
So I figured for $3.99 it was worth a try once.
And once is all I was willing to give this.
I looked at the ingredients and was hopeful there was a way to balance out the flavors here. And I'm not sure (for me anyway) this was a total success.
Here are the flavors that tasted most prominently: celery, apple, and ginger spice. And to be honest, it wasn't going too bad until the ginger spice.
That and celery. For something green, it was more sweet and tart than veggie.
I was hoping for something more balanced. I don't mind eating celery, but there is something weird to my palate about celery and ginger. The pairing just did not work for me.
While the green would hint that this would taste more like veggies, this was no cocktail for my tastebuds. Cocktails are balanced. This was off balance. Now, tried and true green drink drinkers might find more redeeming qualities in this. As for me, it wasn't easy-drinking this green.
I'll keep my greens to their more natural state. I like every ingredient on this label. Individually. In their original state. I was also hoping for the vitamins and mineral aspect to be so much better. At least then I could hope to choke this down.
But even that did not seem terribly balanced to me.
Overall
Would I buy this again? Trader Joe's To the Power of Seven Green Organic Juice Blend is a no from me.
However, if you read through the comments left you'll see this juice has a fan base AND it is a seasonal item. So if you see it and love it, pick it up.

We don't have a Trader Joe's. Where else can we get Pow

I believe you can get this through third party seller on Amazon as another option.

I really enjoyed drinking Power Green. The combination of the 7 ingredients is paired well together. I drank sevens oz's which is just one oz shy of your 8 oz recommended serving size. In return I had a healthy buzz going on for a few hours. This truly picked me up and put me in a good mood. It's on the pricy side but it's worth it. Wish it was more than a seasonal item.

Amazingly good. I bought this for obvious reasons, though expected something I would have to choke down.... what a surprise it was to taste! I filled my glass the rest of the way up and have already had another glass. If a little pulp doesn't bother you, I highly recommend this. Almost tastes like 7-up. I love it. Also, it catapulted my day by making me feel energized.

To the Power of Seven Organic Greens Juice is best consumed cold...AND first thing in the morning when the palate is clear.
Then ...it is delicious & refreshing.
Btw: I have noticed that to drink it at another time of day...or with a meal - it has a weird taste.

Love this drink and sad its only seasonal. I saw other customers stacking up on the drink and decided to give it try. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste! Since then, been buying this once a week.
