Naked Juice : Green Machine Review

If you look up eating healthy on the Internet, somewhere along the line you will come across Green Smoothies.  I hear about them often but have never actually tried them.  Although, I might have mentioned that I want a juicer for my birthday coming up and a green smoothie is going to be one of the first things I make.

I have been very curious about green smoothies.  If you just think about it, the act of using vegetables in your smoothie and it actually coming out edible just seems weird.  But every time I hear of them, everyone always says there are delicious.  Not to mention, super good for you.  Although my plans of making a homemade green smoothie are on hold until I get a juicer, I recently tried the next best thing...Naked Juice : Green Machine



Green Machine is a 100% Juice Smoothie.

It contains:

(Fruit) Apples, Banana, Kiwi, Mango, and a hint of pineapple.

(Veggies) Spirulina, Chlorella, Broccoli, Spinach, Blue Green Algae, Garlic, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Ginger, and Parsley

All in ONE Bottle!  And when you look at the Ingredients list, the above is exactly what you see, along with natural flavors but besides that it's not weird ingredients I don't know how to pronounce...it's fruit and vegetable.

Also great is that there is no sugar added, no preservatives, non-GMO and it's vegan.  Although there is no sugar added, I do have to mention it is pretty sweet.  It has 28 grams of sugar per serving and even though it is natural sugar...it is still sugar.  Some people say it is too sweet for them to drink, some people say it's good but they can only drink so much of it at one time, and some people say it's perfect.  I am in the "I can only drink so much of it at one time" group but you may be different.

I do really like the taste.  It mostly just tastes like fruit and it's pretty yummy.  As this is my first official tasting of a green smoothie, it makes me want to explore more green smoothies and definitely makes me want to make my own.  (Come on Birthday Fairy, please bring me that juicer...)

I purchased this product.  All opinions are always my own.  This review is specifically on Naked Juice : Green Machine not any other Naked Juice Product.  Have an Amazing, Awesome Day!!!

NeuroTrim Nutritional Supplement Review

When it comes to certain things, I am a skeptic.  Fortune-telling...Skeptic.  Aliens...Skeptic.  Weight Loss Products...Skeptic.  But for the latter, I put my skepticism aside and tried a product I randomly found in the grocery store.  It is called NeuroTrim.



It comes in a purple rocket-shaped bottle and promises to promote healthy weight loss, better digestive health, healthy aging, and help curb your appetite.  And it only has 35 calories!

Sounds great! But with me being a skeptic, I fully prepared myself to possibly be disappointed.  I've heard of tons of other products to help weight loss, and I've heard of tons of people complaining that they didn't work.

NeuroTrim works!  Nobody told me to say this.  I bought this with my own money.  IT WORKS!  And believe me I was actually surprised.  Not only was I surprised that it worked, I was also surprised at how well it worked and how fast it worked.

The directions say to drink approximately 30-60 minutes before a major meal and for best results, drink one bottle before each major meal three times a day. Use in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise.

The reason why this works is that it contains a special form of fiber called Amorphophallus konjac ("LuraLean").  When consumed, LuraLean expands in the stomach to many times its original size, helping to control appetite and reduce between meal food cravings.  One gram (included in each serving of NeuroTrim) is equivalent to 18-20 grams of regular fiber...so in other words, it fills you up.

When I got home from the store, I put it in the refrigerator, planning on drinking it before dinner.  But then it got to that time of the day when it's kind of close to dinner time but not really, but I was really hungry.  I decided to try my luck with the drink right then.  So I drank about 2/3 of the bottle and I really wasn't hungry anymore.  I put the rest in the refrigerator and went on with my day.  I was full for another 2 HOURS. Very, very impressed...

There are lots of things I love about this product.  First off, each bottle was only $1.99 at my local grocery store.  Not too bad of a price for how well it works, I think.  Also, I love that it isn't carbonated. Carbonation is alright every once in awhile but I prefer non-carbonated.  A lot of the time, products like these are carbonated, and I was happy to see that this product was different.  Also there are no artificial colors or flavors and it is caffeine free.

Before I drank NeuroTrim, I did a little research and found that this company had these products out before but they contained caffeine.  However, recently they "remodeled" a little and decided to remove the caffeine (Good Job!)

As for the taste, I can't really describe it.  It's fruity but I can't put my finger on exactly what it is.  It doesn't taste bad...it's just hard to describe.

NeuroTrim also contains vitamin D, Phosphatidylserine (as SerinAid), an important phospholipid for healthy neural function; and reserveratrol, an antioxidant polyphenol commonly found in red wine.

Along with NeuroTrim, there are other drinks that each have a different function.

  • NeuroSleep - has a unique formula designed to promote restful sleep and improve overall sleep quality
  • NeuroSonic - increases high level mental functioning: better memory, alertness and concentration
  • NeuroGasm - is a delicious drink designed to promote better sexual health and provide you with the right kind of energy when you need it most
  • NeuroSun - provides all the benefits of Vitamin D without the harmful UV rays of the sun
  • NeuroAqua - is refreshing spring water from the Californian Adobe Springs — considered by many to be the world's purest source of water.
  • NeuroBliss - eliminates stress and promotes happiness without affecting your energy levels
  • NeuroSport - replenishes your body during and after exercise with five key electrolytes and twelve good-for-you minerals.
With how well NeuroTrim worked, I am excited to try the others.  Especially NeuroBliss, NeuroSonic, and I think the NeuroSleep would be perfect for my boyfriend (he has trouble going to sleep and staying asleep sometimes). NeuroGasm might be fun too ;)

Now I drink NeuroTrim whenever I have a craving or would just like to hold of on eating for awhile. I have been telling everybody that will listen how much I love this product and I will definitely continue to buy it.  Also I heard Lady Gaga drinks it so it's gotta be good.

I purchased this product.  All opinions are always my own.  This review is specifically on NeuroTrim not any other Neuro Drink Product.  Have an Amazing, Awesome Day!!!
