Biotest has a Superfoods product that will be released in about a month or two. It supposedly contains approximately 7-8 servings of vegetables in one 5 gram serving and DOES NOT taste like crap.
Here's TC's description:
Biotest's Superfood™
Even if you do get a Black and Decker Steamer, getting in 5 to 8 serving of fruit and vegetables every day is almost an insurmountable task. You can fool yourself into thinking that your Greens Plus is somehow bridging the huge nutritional gap, but it's not bunky, it's not — unless you think some seaweed and some often allergenic grasses are going to do the trick.
Luckily, after two year's of research and work, Biotest has come up with Superfood, a freeze-dried, powdered mixture of about 30 different fruits and vegetables — fruits and vegetables you've heard of, too, like tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, blueberry, etc.
All you do is take about five grams — about a teaspoon — of the pleasant berry-smelling product (it has no artificial flavor or color or scent) and mix it in water, juice, or Metabolic Drive.
The flavor is subtle, like that of a good fruit tea.
The cool thing is, the ORAC rating of this stuff is off the chart!
In case you haven't heard of it before, the ORAC rating (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of foods when exposed to a free-radical challenge.
The method was developed by the National Institute on Aging, a division of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and measures the effects of both fat-soluble and water-soluble antioxidants. An ORAC value of 400 is equivalent to the antioxidant capacity of one serving of fruit or vegetable.
Well, a five-gram serving of Biotest's Superfood has an ORAC rating of over 3,000. That means it's roughly equivalent to 8 servings of fruits and vegetables!
You can buy it...oh wait, you can't buy it, at least not yet.
(I know, I know. I'm a bastard. While we've nailed the product, it won't be out for another month or two.)
This will be a staple for me...no doubt about it.
Also, TC later went on to explain that it is possible to squeeze 8 servings of vegetables into 5 grams because once you take away the vegetables' water and cellulose, it just leaves the good stuff...
