Has anybody ever tried Boku superfood? I listen to a health radio station and they are always advertising it. I would like to try it but I can't find it in my local (Canadian) health food store.

I think they are referring to this: http://bokusuperfood.com/ I have never heard of them.

Yeah, cuz they're paid to. Tried them? No. Way expensive... not raw.

I must strongly disagree with Revell Forrest. Boku Superfood is one of the best values on the market and it is RAW. If you compare the ingredients and nutritional facts, you will agree that the price of Boku Superfood is a great bargain! You get what you pay for IF you're lucky. In the case of Boku Superfood, I believe you get MORE. Their products are all certified Organic, Kosher and Vegan. The ingredients and quality are off the charts. Everyone pays to advertise but this company is the real deal. They only sell online and I highly reccomend visiting their website and ordering. www.bokusuperfood.com

Hmmm. I must be blind then. 95% "Enzyme-active" is not necessarily the same as "raw" and I nowhere in their information is the word "raw" that I see.

Uh, my name isn't "Forrest".... lol

Hey, sorry if I offended anyone. That was certainly not my intention. I am affiliated with the company and very proud of that fact. I just stumbled on the comment from revvell and it seemed kind of negative and possibly misinformed. Not sure where you read 95% enzyme active and personally dont even know what that means (but will find out). Boku is very careful about making claims that can not he 100% substantiated. This is why you may not see RAW written anywhere on the site or packging. Raw is a term that can be considered subjective and is open to varied interpretation. The only thing in Boku that is not certifiably raw, is the proprietary mushroom blend
which is very lightly steamed. I'm not the expert but happy to link anyone with Boku's Master Formulator who is a NMD and Im sure can do a much better job explaining. On the issue of cost, again I felt it was unfair to suggest that Boku is "way expensive". If you actually compare the nutritional profile and consider the pristine nature of the ingredients and that all products are USDA certified Kosher, Vegan and Organic (very costly), also that all products are subject to 3rd party
lab testing for toxicity (again very costly), I can't imagine that Boku could be described as "way expensive". All of this considerred, please name one product that is actually comparable and costs less. There are so many great Super Food products on the market. I believe Boku Super Food is at the very top in terms of quality and value. Not sure that it does any good to down talk any of them, especially when considering the alternative which is the processed, nutrient depleted junk most people subsist on.

It's not about being offended. It's about that being your very first post here and promoting something.

Guess I can read, eh?

Hi Revvell,

Sorry if my first post here seems promotional. I quite litterally just happened upon this site and was simply responding to your negative comments, which I respectfully maintain are unfounded. A member of the forum asked if anyone knew about Boku Superfood. Your response was both negative and inaccurate. My intention was not to promote anything or imply that you are "blind" or "can't read". I mearly wanted to set the record straight. I really dont wish to belabor this or argue.

I am not familiar with the item, but I just avoid anything that claims "super food". Seems like I can just have some green smoothies made with fresh items and be good to go. Seems like a money maker for companies. Some people really like them and promote them though.

If you have a typical cooked food diet, this is probably a good way to get your protein that is plant based. For a raw food diet with lots of varied greens, it should not be necessary to supplement with a rice protein.

Fresh is best! And if you are eating a balanced raw foods based diet, I do not see the point of products like this. Just my two cents.

I no longer supplement and seek to get my food from AS FRESH AS POSSIBLE. Sprouting on winter and buying locally when it is season. Mother nature is wise and provide what you need.

The only thing that i could take would be e3live occasionally, spirulina (had the B12 we need), blue algae and even though, except for e3live, i didn't have any powder for so long now. I want fresh food, this is what my body wants.

Get your blood work monitor and you can go from there. I find that doing a water fast for me (after doing a research first, doing 100% raw food first and two detox program first) was a great way to restore my GI track to balance. You GI track has to be restore to balance. All the cook food that we were program and raise to eat, has caused a great deal of problem for me.

Follow your guidance and don't go into fear of lack or buy into their believes. Because this is what advertising is about, is to cause a feeling of lack and an illusional need causing you to invest in their product. I have gratitude for David Wolfe because he is the first one that gave me the desire to go raw food but i can guaranty to you, that i no longer buy into his scheme to get us to supplement all the time, neither that i buy into these chains of company claiming to have the real deal. If you want to try this supplement to see if it makes a difference then do so but remember you don't want to over taxed your kidney with heavy protein or powder. Try a little bit if it makes a difference. Speaking for myself, for most supplement none i have seen a difference for me because i already have a great diet. If anything, it made me more acid. About reading the label and see what nutrient this food is rich and find it in your area that has the same strong nutrient.

If you go with berries, cherries, apples, oranges, grape, water melon (whatever food is close to your area and is ripe), you will see an incredible health benefit. In Canada, depending the area, they have all kind of berries and apples. Sometime, the fruits imported are good quality but not that easy to find. They have a lot of great blueberries now, even though they aren't local because of winter season, they are sweet and delicious. Buy them organic and engorge with them instead. You can get nice fresh herbs that many farmers provide from their green house. Set the intent to find the perfect live food for you and you will.

Here is the list of ingredient that that food has. I find that it is good transition for the one that do cook food but truly, if you go fresh with the live force from the food, you will be amazed and going outside.

It is never a good idea, to mix too much food together. If you travel, it could be something to carry but i don't like this enormous list of blend food, i prefer making my own bar and keep it simple.

3000 mg - Greens, sprouts, enzymes, and probiotics (better fresh)
Organic Young Barley Grass Juice (better fresh)
Organic Spirulina (You can get that at your local health food store)
Organic Kelp (You can get that at your local health food store)
Organic Nopal Cactus
Organic Nettle Leaf
Organic Chlorella (Cracked Cell Wall) (You can get that at your local health food store)
Organic Klamath Lake Blue-Green Algae (You can get that at your local health food store)
Organic Broccoli Juice (better fresh and even eating broccoli sprout)
Organic Kale Juice (better fresh)
Organic Spinach Juice (better fresh)
Organic Cabbage Juice (better fresh)
Organic Parsley Juice (better fresh)
Organic Sprouted Flax (better fresh)
Boku Super Enzymes
(Amylase, Protease (3 different potencies), Bromelain, Cellulase, Lipase, Alpha-galactosidase, Papain)
L. Sporogenes (kosher pareve probiotic)
Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt
3000 mg – Maca root juice, mushrooms, mesquite, and cacao
Organic, Fresh Pressed, Maca Root Juice (This is a red flag, right there. Maybe they used fresh pressed maca root but let's face it, it isn't fresh anymore, it is in powder form. It doesn't matter anymore that it was fresh, because it isn't anymore)
Organic Boku Super Tákés (14 specialty mushroom blend)
Organic Sweet Mesquite Pod
Organic Cacao (Raw Chocolate)
3000 mg – Low glycemic fruit, berries and vanilla
Organic Lucuma Fruit
Organic Goji Berry juice (You can get that at your local health food store, get the berries instead, you can soak them and blend in your smoothie)
Organic Hawthorn Berry
Organic Strawberry Juice (better fresh)
Organic Fine Vanilla Bean (better fresh)


Interesting, this boku is mixed with all kind of super food, it doesn't have to have much of it in this mix. Truly, that look like over price to me and you can use that money and buy FRESH. Research about what the key element what BOKU is rich and don't buy into this fear of lack that we need to supplement. If you eat a food fresh, you will benefit from the life force from it. Vitamin D directly from the sun (cloudy day, sunrise or sunset), is a significant source of well being for good health, even going outside on winter count. Getting the energy from nature is also another very important for your health.

I wouldn't take this, nothing in powder like this has its life force still, it may have nutrients but nutrients isn't enough, you will get far more health benefit from fresh and not mixing too much food together at once.

For an emergency food perhaps, but here is a review that i found

http://www.reviewsxl.com/review-boku-super-food/

This product has a long shelf life, this is scary to me because it means, it has no freshness anymore. If you can keep that out of your fridge, then i wonder. This is a reason that i don't do bars anymore but as a transition food, it seems better then those Lara bars. Again, this is me, i prefer staying away from supplement, seek for freshness and eat as close as possible from the table of mother earth.

I have already wonders, if this was made from live food at first but now transform into a powder, how possibly could it be raw and have such a long life shelf? IT always fascinate me and raise many questions? Because berries, aren't a food that you can turn into a powder that easy. Sprouted flax seed yes but many of these ingredients, you cannot. Maybe, it is a supplement with the least chemical and the most organic food, which make it scores good but as to say that it is still a raw food, it just seems strange to me.

Thanks PlanetGuard. Just received the package. WOW! Full-sized! Ate one of the bars. It is probably THE best tasting "natural" bar I've ever had AND it's a really good size. Perfect timing as I have "bars" on my list.

I do have to say though, if someone has an addiction to chocolate... they are in trouble. The bar is DELICIOUS and, certified organic,; gluten, wheat, dairy, soy-free, cold processed (does that MEAN raw?), non-GMO and more. I can see from the ingredients on the box why they cost what they cost.

Next up ~ smoozie with Super Food and/or Super Protein.

Yes! Revvell you could not be more true! The bars are so good...I have developed a bit of a chocolate addiction from them lol! The superfood and protein are a must for me...critical before and after I workout. Bar is great to cut into pieces and eat on the go- thats what I do if im in a hurry,.

I wouldn't buy that if they are addictive like this. Only live food can bring life to your body, i cannot see how powder can accomplish that. But if it works for you and help you to stay grounded in this raw journey then so be it.

All the best!

I REALLY enjoyed the bars. I'm not a chocoholic so, didn't bother me. Mostly ate them because they are delicious and easy. Probably the best tasting bars I've ever had.

The other stuff ~ superfood and protein powders didn't seem to do much for me. I did them for awhile and found I wasn't really drawn to them. They were all sent to me for free, I re-purchased two boxes of the bars... not finished the powders, DID finish the bars... The bars are very convenient and very tasty.

I'd read about it, I think, on Facebook or something. Looked at it, thought it was quite expensive. Posted it here and, they sent me some products to check out. As I said, the bars are some of the best I've ever tasted and filling so, ordered a couple more boxes. The powders seem to work for many people... I just didn't feel any difference. I've refrigerated them and will give 'em another go soon and see if there's a difference. Let us know what you think.
