does anyone use alissa's green food powder? if so, can it replace using fresh greens? and what does it do? thanks!

Yes. I use Alissa's Green Food Powder. Nope, I don't replace my fresh green with it, but I would think maybe you could? I wouldn't suggest doing this for a long term period. I add this and spirulina and fresh greens in my smoothies.
What does it do? It compliments my wellness and healing. It completes my requirements daily of my raw food intake. Following is the description taken off Alissa's store web site, but it doesn't really state what it does. It gives me a life force. It's hard to explain.

I use it and love it. I like the fishy taste it gives smoothies if you use a lot of it. Sounds weird but I love it. It really helps with elimination too. I wouldn't replace greens with it, but I use them together. It's great for travel when greens may be difficult to come by. I JUST placed an order for my 3rd bottle. :)

Does it taste fishy? I just started drinking green smoothies and do not want to add fish flavor! :eek:

The spirulina I use has an ever so mild - not noticeable with strong flavored fruits sea flavor. It's been so long - 28+ years since I've had fish that I think it tastes more sea tasting.
Alissa's I think just tastes green. No sea taste at all.
