    Amazing Grass Launches Three Amazing New Lines Featuring Farm Fresh Greens

    Leader in Organic Plant-Based Nutrition Debuts Protein & Kale Protein Powders, Green Powder Smoothie Boosters and Extends Effervescent Platform with Energy and Hydrate Functional Offerings at Natural Products Expo West 2018

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (March 1, 2018) – Amazing Grass™, the nation’s leading brand of plant-based, whole-food powdered supplements and nutrition bars, today announced the addition of three inventive product lines to its growing portfolio of simple and convenient farm-grown greens, including Organic Protein & Kale, Organic Green Powder Smoothie Boosters and Green Superfood Effervescents in Energy and Hydrate Functions. All three product lines are designed to deliver powerful functional nutrition with a blend of familiar ingredients and pioneering superfoods. Attendees of Natural Products Expo West will be among the first to experience the new products and are invited to learn more at booth #1751.

    2018 also marks a milestone for the brand’s family farm in Kansas as it has added a new crop, kale, to its annual harvest of cereal grasses. The company’s cornerstone greens – wheat grass, barley grass and alfalfa, and now the nutritional powerhouse kale – are grown on the Amazing Grass family-owned farm. For over three generations, the Kansas-based farm has perfected the growing, harvesting and dehydration of organic greens to ensure optimal nutrient density, resulting in some of the highest-quality leafy greens available on the market.

    “We wanted to find a way to help more people integrate the whole leaf nutrition of kale into their daily smoothies and shakes without having to take out the blender,” said Ryan Therriault, vice president of marketing and innovation at Amazing Grass. “In addition to our signature wheat grass, barley grass and alfalfa that we’ve offered from the start, kale has given us the opportunity to expand our green offerings for optimum health and wellness while continuing to expand organic farming in the U.S. The three new product lines deliver on the most important needs that consumers often seek out supplements for, and further the brand’s core mission of delivering plant-based whole-food nutrition in flavors and forms that are simple and easy to enjoy.”

    The new supplement lines feature farm fresh greens in three easy to use formats to help people get the whole-food nutrition their bodies need to feel amazing every day.

    • Organic Protein & Kale is a simple blend of plant-based protein combined with the nutritious power of organic leafy greens, predominately kale. The new protein powder offers a powerful dose of solely plant-based protein including pea, quinoa and chia, in tandem with four dark, leafy greens including kale, wheat grass, barley grass and alfalfa. Each nutritional scoop delivers 20g of protein and 1 full cup of leafy greens. SRP $32.99 and available in three amazing flavors:

    • Organic Green Powder Smoothie Boosters are crafted with the world’s most nutrient-dense greens to provide a nutritional green powder addition to elevate any smoothie recipe. SRP $14.99 and available in the following flavors:
      • Organic Kale Powder: 100% comprised of kale grown on the Kansas-based family farm. 1 teaspoon is equal to 2 full cups of leafy kale.
      • Organic Supergreens Powder: Kale and wheat grass grown directly on the Amazing Grass family farm combine with trending Moringa and Spirulina superfoods. 1 teaspoon is equal to 1.5 servings of leafy greens.

    • Effervescent formats are now available in two new functions, Energy and Hydrate, to cater to trending health needs. These tablets fuse the brand’s cornerstone Green Superfood blend with over 30 antioxidant superfoods that deliver the antioxidant equivalent of 1 full serving of greens and veggies. The two new functions incorporate the addition of plant-based caffeine for clean, natural energy, plus key electrolytes and vitamins to support hydration. SRP $7.99 and available in the following formats and flavors:
    • Hydrate Effervescents: Electrolyte support from calcium, chloride, magnesium, sodium and potassium in two refreshing flavors: Strawberry Lemonade and Watermelon Lime.

    In addition, with the launch of Organic Protein & Kale and the brand’s continued dedication to supporting family farms across the country, Amazing Grass is donating up to $50,000 to the American Farmland Trust to help preserve U.S. Family Farmland, of which 175 acres are lost every hour. Amazing Grass will debut the new initiative at Expo West, and attendees are invited to support the effort in two ways: $1 will be donated for every #ilovefarmers text received (up to $25,000) and an additional $1 will be donated for every purchase of an Organic Protein & Kale tub (also up to $25,000).

    Amazing Grass Fact Sheet:

    Overview: Amazing Grass is the nation's leading brand of organic, plant-based supplements and nutrition bars comprised of real whole-food ingredients and the brand's cornerstone greens, wheat grass, barley grass and alfalfa, organically grown on its third generation family farm in Kansas. Considered the No. 1 brand in the Greens category, all Amazing Grass products are made with USDA Certified Organic farm-fresh greens, are non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and specially formulated to help maintain overall health and wellness while naturally boosting energy levels, supporting immunity, and helping aid digestion and detoxification. Amazing Grass provides the whole-food nutrition the body needs, in convenient and delicious forms that are simple and easy to enjoy.

    The company’s signature wheat grass, barley grass and alfalfa, in addition to kale as of 2018, are grown on the Amazing Grass family-owned farm. For more than 70 years, the Kansas-based farm has perfected the growing, harvesting and dehydration of organic greens to ensure optimal nutrient density, resulting in some of the highest-quality deep leafy greens available on the market. By growing only once a year and harvesting at each crop’s nutritional peak, Amazing Grass is able to guarantee higher quality nutrition than that of juiced powders or tray grown greens. From there, the fresh greens are instantly dehydrated, frozen, and packed in nitrogen to maintain maximum freshness and preserve all the whole-food nutritional properties.

    History: As a pioneer of the greens movement, Amazing Grass was one of the first companies to reject factory-based farming in favor of organic, sustainable practices. Co-founded by Todd Habermehland Brandon Bert, Amazing Grass’ keystone organic cereal grasses have been grown on Bert’s Kansas-based family farm for three generations. By partnering with a network of small family farmers who share equivalent standards for sustainable cultivation and attention to detail, Amazing Grass has been able to cultivate a symbiotic relationship with the environment for generations to come, while delivering high-quality nutrition. This once grassroots company has evolved into the leading producer of organic green superfoods with sustainable family farming at the core of it all. Beyond its first tub of wheat grass powder, Amazing Grass now offers a wide range of organic, plant-based products crafted with the highest quality ingredients curated from like-minded farmers around the world.
