SUPERFOODS
Fermented Green Supreme Food has a remarkable superfood section. To be honest, when we first got our hands on this product, we looked for the serving size (grams-per-serving). FGSF at just 8 grams per serving (7 grams of superfoods) is unremarkable. We review many green drinks that have 10 grams or more.
But as we really took a hard look at the label, our attitude slowly changed from boredom to admiration.
There are approximately 16 superfoods in the form of grasses, algae, fruits and vegetables. If you include the soluble fiber, each serving provides around 7 grams of total superfoods. Though you’ll find other superfood drinks that have more per serving, in the case of Fermented Green Supreme Food, it’s about quality, not quantity.
FGSF uses all organic ingredients, but more than that, the grasses used are fermented grasses. It is a rare thing to see fermented grasses in green drink powders. Why? Because fermented grasses, and especially organic fermented grasses, are extremely expensive ingredients.
The fermentation of grasses is phenomenally healthy. Essentially, in addition to all the phytonutrients and other nutrients you get from grasses, the fermentation produces healthy bacteria that act very similar to probiotics. What’s more, the fermentation of these grasses releases nutrients and antioxidants within the plant that are not readily available without fermentation. It gets pretty scientific and for you academics, this is a good article about fermentation.
This superfood panel with the grasses, algae, vegetables and awesome selection of organic berries, with the added benefit of them being organic and the grasses being fermented, makes this superfood panel among the best we’ve reviewed.
SUPERFOODS SCORE: 9.7
NUTRITIONAL PANEL
The nutritional section is devoted to the other ingredients in green drink powders that are not classified as “superfoods”.
Fermented Greens Supreme Food doesn’t disappoint with its additional nutritional components. Let’s break it down:
Fiber – FGSF contains a very solid fiber panel with over 2.4 grams of fiber in the form of heart-healthy flax seed and Acacia Gum. Acacia Gum is not the greatest source of fiber on planet Earth, but it is 80% soluble fiber and will do the job.
Herbs/Botanicals – There are 6 antioxidant-rich herbs in FGSF that are designed for cleansing, natural energy production, and even thermogenic fat-burning. Among these are green tea, rosemary, milk thistle, cinnamon powder, licorice root. All of the herbs are organic.
Probiotics – Remember, the fermented grasses provide probiotics, but additionally, FGSF adds 550 mg of probiotics to the formula making it among the top probiotics panel of any green drink formula we’ve reviewed with the possible exception of Green Vibrance. This is a serious amount of probiotics!
Enzymes – You get the usual digestive enzymes Protease, Amylase, Bromelain, Cellulase, Lactase and Lipase.
The nutritional value of Fermented Greens Supreme Food with the fiber, herbs, enzymes and especially the probiotics is exceptional. Dr. Don Colbert obviously values the friendly bacteria found in the fermentation of grasses and probiotic cultures very highly as evident by his emphasis of them in this formula.

TASTE
Taste is a touchy subject with green drink powders. What someone might deem delicious, others might call abhorrent. Personally, I like the taste of swampy, murky, earthy green drinks. I’ve been consuming them for over 15 years. Other people on our team have varied opinions of powders we review and trying to come to a consensus is more challenging and heated than a homeowner association meeting.
But since I’m in charge, I will give the final verdict of the taste of Fermented Greens Supreme Food. It’s in my opinion, one of the better tasting green drinks I’ve tried and certainly the sweetest. FGSF has a pleasantly sweet taste with a hint of apple and cinnamon. This goes a long way to cover up the strong taste of algae (especially spirulina) that is a deal-breaker to many new to green drinks.
My advice to people who simply can’t handle the taste of high-quality green drink powders is to mix the powder with fresh, organic juices, yogurt and fresh fruit and make a health smoothie. By doing this, you can almost mask the taste of the green drink powders. Also, for those looking to shed some lbs, by adding fruits, juices and maybe even some protein along with a green drink powder, you can create the world’s greatest green drink weight loss smoothie.
TASTE SCORE: 8.6
VALUE
Fermented Greens Supreme Food is a very good value for what you are truly getting. As mentioned earlier, at 8 total grams per serving, there are other formulas that have 10-12 grams per serving at a similar price like Green Vibrance, Garden of Life and All Day Energy Greens.
However, using fermented grasses and all organic ingredients and having 550 mgs of probiotics make these 8 grams something special. It’s impossible to know exactly how much more nutritional benefit you are getting by ingesting the fermented grasses but it’s likely to be a huge difference if you believe the research.
Buying 1 canister of Fermented Greens Supreme Food costs $37 per canister. This is approximately $1.25 per serving and is well worth it to get the quality ingredients. However, purchasing 3 canisters, the price goes down to just $1.07 per serving and purchasing 5 canisters at a time the cost goes down to $.95 a serving which is a steal.

SUMMARY
We’ve reviewed some terrific green drinks over the years. Dr. Don Colbert’s Fermented Greens Supreme Food is an impressive formula that stands tall with the best of them. It doesn’t contain the sheer quantity of nutrition as the Total Living Drink Greens or Shakeoloy. It’s a little lower potency to Green Vibrance. It doesn’t contain the quantity of ingredients as Vitamineral Green or Garden of Life. But what it does contain are thoughtful ingredients and proven superfoods.
Dr. Colbert is a big believer in friendly bacteria and the nutritional benefits of organic, fermented grasses. This is evident in the thoughtful make-up of his product and the emphasis on added probiotics.
The price point is entirely legitimate for what you are getting and the taste is as agreeable as its closest competitors.
Simply put, we love this green drink formula.

Does Living Green Supreme (LGSF) use juice extracts or bulk powdered superfoods ?
You mentioned Amazing grass is bulk powdered. Which brand uses juice extracts ? Thank you.
Hi Pete,
LGSF uses organic powders but they use fermented grasses which is highly advantageous. Green Vibrance and Garden of Life Perfect Food Raw both use juice extracts.
Thanks so much for your comment!
Doea this product have cocoas in it? how important is this ingredient?
I wanted to order it through your affiliate link, but it leads to a totally different product now…how incovenient. If you still watch this and could help me out, much obliged!
Dylan,
So sorry for this inconvenience. This should be fixed now.
Based on my recent internet search have come up with three green superfood drinks that seem to fit my criteria for a long term healthier lifestyle commitment. Living Greens is my first choice and I’m hoping it will be possible for me to buy a single packet for the final personal taste test. Please advise asap.
We’re not sure if Living Green Supreme Food is available in sample packets. Contact the customer support over there at http://drcolbert.com/. Living Green is a very good choice and they do have a money-back guarantee.
Thanks for your comments.
I was looking into getting this super food drink. However, I am a little confused on something. Is Divine Health/Dr. Colbert’s “LIVING” Green Supreme Food different from Divine Health/Dr. Colbert’s “FERMENTED” Green Supreme Food?? Also, how do I know how much of each vitamins I am getting with this product, such as vitamin B1, B2, B6, etc.? Like how many mg’s or what not?
Hi Sue,
We’re not sure of the difference. I know that Living Green Supreme Food uses fermented grasses which is awesome. In terms of the exact amount of each vitamin, you really won’t know this because it’s hard to determine how many of these are naturally occurring in the organic produce. This is not uncommon when looking at labels of green drinks. The key is to look at the ingredients, quality of ingredients and potencies to get a feel for how much of a therapeutic impact will have on the body.
I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I can barely make it to the kitchen on most days. I am also on a VERY tiny budget per month (think barely able 2 afford food each month & still pay bills!). I need a meal replacement for each meal & am looking into Superfoods. How healthy is LGSF insofar as a comprehensive meal replacement? Also, how easy is it to make it palatable? I bought the Nutiva Organic Hemp Shake in both Chocolate & Vanilla…and frankly, they are just gross (grainy/thick mixed with Almond or Coconut Milk – best I can afford to mix with)! At $12.50/$15.00 for 16 oz each, they were a very expensive waste of money for me. I need to know that LGSF won’t be more of the grainy/unpalatable taste that those were, especially at twice the price? Thank you for any assistance you may give me. 🙂
If you want to use Living Green Supremefood as a meal replacement (now called Fermented Green Supremefood), I would recommend purchasing a high-quality Whey Isolate protein powder from your local vitamin shop or whole foods store so that you can mix 1-scoop of the greens and 1 scoop of the protein powder into water, juice or organic milk. This would do 2 things, 1) It would give you more calories and more nutrition as a meal replacement and 2) it would dramatically improve the taste of the greens powder.
We hope this helps! Good luck Grammie!!
when I try to order, living green supreme food, by dr colbert it goes onto another product, which I find frustrating, and has discouraged me to continue trying to get hold of the product. I was really looking forward to using this product. pam
unable to order product, on Dr Colbert’s website, for the green supreme food. very disappointed pam
given up pam
Hi Pam,
I think the trouble is that you are seeing a different name of the same product. Recently, Living Green Supremefood became Fermented Green Supremefood. Same product, new name.
We are sorry for the confusion.
I placed an order today 10/09/2015 and have not received any response from you.
Hi James,
Thanks for your comment. We actually only review products; we don’t sell them through this site. If you have a customer service question about the product you ordered you can visit the company’s website for support. Go to this page and at the top left is a customer service number you can call or send them an email.
Thanks again.
Is there anyway to find out if this product contains artificial sugar…..aspertame, sucralose, etc?
HI Carolyn,
Fermented Greens contains no artificial sweeteners. (And I’ve not come across a true green superfood drink that does.) Here’s a link to Fermented Green Supreme Food’s label. Thanks for the question!
http://superfooddrinks.org/living-green-supreme-food-ingredients/
This product gave me severe and uncomfortable stomach/digestive problems. After the first three days or so of usage I started to experience stomach pains in my abdomen area – griping, rumbling, severe flatulence and needing to go to the toilet 2/3 times per day and very loose. The pains would continue more or less all day. My lower abdomen also hurt when pressed by hand. I gave up after 5/6 days and these symptoms went away after 2/3 days. After 10 days rest, I started again with the product to see if it was definitely the cause. I used 10 ounce drink daily, taken 30 minutes after eating breakfast. The same symptoms started again after a couple of days or so. There must be some ingredient(s) in the product that I cannot get along with. Fair enough. An email to the company via its website asking for comment though didn’t result in an acknowledgement, which find very disappointing.
Hi guys,..1st just want to thank you for a great site in getting the complete lowdown on super greens. I did just received the fermented supreme super foods & drinking my 2nd serving as I’m typing this.
So far the taste is def far better than my 1st love green Vibrance which I just don’t understand why such a company with great product & mission doesn’t take the extra effort like others to make some flavors like berry.
They also have the most abundance of greens & the whopping 25 billion probiotics which I know makes a big diff for me as I’ve tried other super greens with less than 10 billion strains. And they don’t hide anything disclose every single ingredient line by line.
With that said, would you know how much in billion strains does 550mg converts equate to?
Hi David,
I’m glad you are seeing good results with the product. That’s a tough question because there’s no direct correlation per say to mgs to active, live probiotics. I don’t want to lead you astray. Let us do some research and see if we can come up with an answer.
Anybody have any diarrhea from the flax seed in this? I currently drink fresh made green juice and kombucha but I want to use this while traveling. I just don’t want GI upset on the road
I believe this product no longer includes the fruit ingredients and they are now sold separately. If so, I believe you need to update your review, no?
thanks
Hi Chris! Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
