Introduction:
I have been hearing about Organifi Green Juice for well over a year from some of my favorite sources and podcasts. I finally decided to give it a try.
My goal is to see if this product potentially provides some missing nutrients. While I eat and exercise well, I still struggle with thought clarity, alertness, and energy to keep up with the desired outcome.
I ordered a single month supply using a coupon for around $60, as you’ll notice, there are lower costs if you purchase larger quantities. The order arrived in about two days, and I was anxious to get started.
One of the things I decided on this experiment was not to make any other changes in diet or exercise. The only lifestyle change is the addition of Organifi.
Days 1-3
The order arrived on a Saturday while I was home. I immediately opened the box, the lid, and the safety seal to find the container exactly as expected, about 2/3 full with a scoop included. I was glad they mentioned the container would not be full to the top as part of the purchasing process.
Day 1
I filled a 16 oz glass about 2/3 full of tap water and stirred in a level scoop of Organifi. I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture. It was very easy to consume and left me wanting more. Win #1!
Day 2
Consumed my Organifi drink first thing after getting out of bed instead of the plain tap water I would normally drink. As I went about my morning exercise routine, I was cautious or suspicious of what this stuff was going to do to my digestive tract during exercise as I’ve had some protein powders leave me unsettled. No issues = Win #2!
Day 3
Organifi first thing, exercise, all good. This morning I noticed a little more alertness and energy. This being a Monday with a load of work ahead, I was impressed, but it could be I had a decent sleep, and the humidity and temperature were lower. My morning run was good, and overall I felt good. Still a little groggy driving to work.
The afternoon was as usual… dragging, tired, foggy.
Day 4
Woke up to the alarm, probably went to bed about an hour too late. It was a good morning, but not overly ambitious or energetic. The exercise routine was good, yet not as good as yesterday. The humidity is up which could be weighing me down a bit.
It’s been a groggy day!
Day 5
Nothing too exciting to report. Slept ok, got up normal, exercise ok, groggy drive into work. We’ll see how today unfolds.
- Thinking is clear, this is a plus.
- Sleepy after lunch, not so clear thinking.
- The evening was low energy with little accomplished.
Day 6
I woke up before the alarm, but with little desire to enter the day. I know some of the challenges that lie ahead in the day, and I am not really motivated for them.
Attitude, discouragement, depression, tough life situations, all play with our emotional well being. These can quickly feel like a weight too heavy to carry.
After starting my exercise routine and being up for a little while, my attitude and outlook improved. The morning run in the high humidity was a challenge but overall felt good.
One note – I have noticed some GI tract changes which are not bad, just different. I know… TMI… but elimination is an important part of health.
Days 7-9
Day 7
Yucky day! Woke up too early (30 minutes before alarm), tired all day, low energy, went to bed as early as I could that night.
Day 8
Slept in, felt decent, not a lot of energy, but acceptable. Got a few things done. A fairly relaxing day.
Day 9
More extreme humidity! 97% @ 76 degrees @ 6am
Casual day, felt ok, napped a little, worked around the house. Nothing unusual or special about the health and wellness items.
Day 10
It’s Monday, and I feel good, motivated, ready to tackle the day. A few new ideas came to mind for tracking progress at work.
Finally, the humidity and temperature have broken their sauna grip on the area. The run today was much more enjoyable being able to breathe and all that.
The drive to work was uneventful, which is a good thing! But the groggies hit around 9am…
Fairly clear thought processes today, but still hit the sleepy-slump from 1:00-3:00 in the afternoon. The evening was fine and did some yard work.
Day 11
Went to bed too late making the morning a little tough to get motivated. Physically feel fine which is always a blessing.
One thing I thought of this morning is that I’ve had fewer leg cramps and charlie horses in the past few weeks, I’ll have to make a note of this as this alone would be a great relief if Organifi reduces or eliminates them.
Sleepy in the late morning and early afternoon thought processes acceptable, yet too tired to accomplish more.
Day 12
Went to bed after 10 again, which is too late for a 4 am rise. Restless night, lots of stirring, awake too many times.
Notably – the humidity is back on the rise. While the temperature was in the upper 60’s, the humidity was in the low 90’s. Could this affect my sleep? Many studies investigate the impact of atmospheric pressure on the human body.
The morning run was a little slower with the moisture, but not terrible. The drive in was groggy. There definitely hasn’t been any improvement in my alertness. However, I think some of the brain fog is reduced.
Considering a B12 supplement for alertness.
The afternoon was sleepy, the evening was short and not really productive.
Day 13
A better night, slept until the alarm. The humidity is high making the run difficult, but overall things feel fine as usual. At 13 days in I’m not seeing great benefit from Organifi. While I like the taste and knowing the nutritional benefits, it doesn’t seem to have met any major needs for me. The reduced leg cramps and digestive regularity seem to be the most notable benefits at this point. We will continue the trial until the product is gone or other benefits are discovered.
The day was the usual bouts of sleepiness.
Day 14…
Rough night of tossing and turning, even while getting to bed before 10 pm.
The temperature and humidity are reasonable today, so the run was a little easier.
Nothing different to report… I will post an update on the last day of this test unless something significant occurs.
End of the canister 1…
I’m about to complete the first canister of Organify. While I haven’t had any great revelation from taking it daily, I really like it!
I like the taste, I’ve discovered not everyone does, that’s alright, I do. I ordered 3 more canisters of Organifi and plan to enjoy it for the next few months.
Why did it not have a major impact? One reason may be because I already eat a lot of natural foods (fruits, veggies/greens, grains, nuts). Perhaps the impact is greater if the individual has a poor diet from the beginning? I also exercise daily, perhaps people who start with Organifi also start an exercise routine?
What do I like besides the taste? I like the fact that I’m getting a lot of nutrients to start the day. I believe it has made my GI Tract more stable and clean.
For now, the trial continues!

Just a quick note to say I still enjoy Organifi and am well into my second canister.
One note of contention is the over spamming (in email). I just queried my Gmail for Organifi and found 89 email in a month and a half. About 10 of these are valid notes dealing with my purchases. Be prepared for some email when you sign up. Not all of them are ads, there is some free tools, documents, and information that can be useful.
The notes come from fitlife.tv, Drew, The Juiceman, Organifi, Gut Health Guru, The Anti-Aging Man, The Smoothie King, and maybe a few others. You can unsubscribe and be sure to let them know you get too much email from them.
I’m still sharing Organifi with others.
Random update: 10/18/17 about 14 weeks since starting.
I used the Organifi product for 3 months and really did enjoy it. With the exception of the cost, I have found this type of superfood supplement a worthy and easy endeavor.
This month I decided to try a different superfood powder I found at Walmart (of all places). I’ll post a product link.
The one big item for me is how I’ve not had a significant muscle cramp since I’ve been steady on these superfood powders. This is amazing as I could get some real crippling leg cramps. So far so good!
Here is that Super-Food product Walmart carries.
