Customer Reviews of Amazon Thunder Thunder Scoop Organic Freeze Dried Acai Fruit Powder, with Camu Camu 3.17 oz (90 g)
Customer Review: Surprisingly high quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I am always skeptical about the "newest, greatest" product of the day. However, this product does live up to the hype. When I first opened the canister it looked and smelled pretty close to dirt. I immediately looked for the size of the scoop hoping it wasn't huge because I really couldn't imagine drinking this stuff! After finding a rather small scoop, approx. 1/2 tsp. size, I mustered enough courage to taste it. Not bad. Not much of a taste, chalky with a hint of dirt, but I figured in a smoothie I could deal with it. Well, it is UNNOTICABLE in my smoothies, oatmeal and yogurt..(Woot, Woot, Woot!!!) Can't taste Acai at all, but WOW what a feeling! I am a deep tissue massage therapist and by the end of the day I would be ready for the couch and a book...now I don't feel exhausted and I am much less sore after a long day. My joints seem less stiff, no bloat after lunch, no pain in my wrists. I only take one scoop a day and that seems to work for me. I am recommending this to my clients. I don't usually do that, but I really like this product. I am also allergic to seafood so I don't eat fish and this product provides me with 30mg of Omega 3, 500mg of Omega 6 and 1200mg of Omega 9. No sugar and 1g Carbo. All Natural. Put in BLENDER for best results...mixing with a spoon doesn't work at all.Customer Review: Great product, if you can stand the taste
Summary: 4 Stars
I have now been taking this Acai powder for almost 3 weeks. I am impressed that it lives up to some of the hype. It's not a miracle weight-loss substance, by any means, but it DOES curb my appetite (impressive since I wasn't eating THAT much before) and helps me avoid my diet pitfalls that come from bad cravings. I suppose that is the reason why I have lost a couple stubborn pounds when previously I was stuck on a plateau. Of course, the appetite control is in addition to the health benefits of its antioxidant value and fiber. Overall, I'd recommend this product and would buy it again myself. The only drawback (and why I didn't give it 5 stars) is the taste - I got one container for me and one for my mom - I don't think it's TOO bad, but Mom can barely swallow it no matter what she tries it in. If you're used to strong-tasting, rather unpleasant natural supplements, it's no worse than others (fish oil, anyone?), but if you're not, I can see where this powder would be almost unusable. So just proceed with caution, and if you're not sure you can handle the unpleasant taste/texture, I'd go with the pill form.Customer Review: Tastes so terrible it literally made me vomit.
Summary: 1 Stars
Product works great. I've noticed more energy and it has helped me jump start a new fitness routine. Problem is, it tastes so bad it is impossible to force down. I'm with other reviewers who suggest getting the pill form. I'm buying empty capsules to use up the rest of this. It is truly impossible to take in this form unless you have no taste buds and no gag reflex.
I've been taking it for about a week. Tried it in yogurt, a smoothie, milk, ice cream, with mint tea, orange juice, and tried taking it just plain and washing it down.
Each time the taste overpowered everything and stayed in my mouth for hours after. Thus far yogurt and mint tea have been the only mixes that haven't physically made me gag, but they still taste terrible. Trying to take it plain was an ugly experience that involved seeing part of last night's dinner.
The taste I can only describe as a mixture of plastic and dirt. It smells like plastic and dirt and when you taste it the taste is exactly the same as the smell. I highly recommend the acai with camu camu as a suppliment, just not in this powder form.
Customer Review: Get Used to It
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried this product and thought it was horrible - at first. Mixed it with Greek yogurt and almost gagged. Tasted like dried paint. Then I read the serving suggestions and noticed that "a shot" was an option. So, I tried it as a "shot" with a chaser of water. Wasn't too happy with the taste - again, at first. Kept it up as my Rosacia was appearing less and less and my complexion was getting more clear. I am very happy to say that the mask is gone, no more red face, and the taste has gotten to be something I look forward to! (My hairdresser has actually asked for my secret complexion recipe) Amazing. Kind of like going from regular soda to diet. I'm now doing two to three "shots" per day, and my energy is way up, clarity of thought is better, mask is GONE, and I have actually lost a modicum (sp?) of belly fat. Not the amount that the advertisements talk about in the ads, but at least it's gotten me to look less bloated.
Do the shots. So much faster and better. Why mix and dilute? I do recommend this. Nothing worked for me before. I love it!
Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this acai product for almost a week and already feel better, more alert, and lighter, and I crave sugar less and healthy foods more. I started feeling results after the very first day, actually. But the tub says prime results take two weeks, so I'm excited to see what else may happen.
I started out putting a scoop in my nightly ice cream. But seriously, I crave ice cream less now and lately have put the acai in a glass of milk before bed. May switch to mornings and put it in a smoothie. I wonder what happens if I cook with it, would love to somehow get it into hubby and that would be the only way.
Will revise review if needed, but otherwise four stars for now (not five yet, as only a short time has passed).
ETA: Okay almost three weeks has passed. FIVE STARS!
