I have an addiction. It started around a month ago. It started innocently enough. All I wanted was a good tasting, healthy, quick, convenient breakfast that gave me lots of nutrients that I normally don’t get in my diet. I have been looking for something like this literally for years. Up until now the things I found either were not that healthy, were not convenient or did not taste good. Here is my addiction story:
Greens First contains way more than a multivitamin. It has all the vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients and secret magical stuff that we have not even discovered because Greens First is organic fruits and vegetables. One Greens First drink provides 15+ servings of organic fruits and vegetables and is gluten free.
Greens First is vegetarian, vegan, and contains no:
• Wheat
• Dairy
• Soy Protein
• Soy Isoflavones
• Preservatives
• Artificial Flavors
• Artificial Sweeteners
Ingredients in Greens First
As you can see this stuff is packed with all kinds of really good stuff. I could write an article on the benefits of each of these ingredients. I don’t know how they got all this into a drink that tastes great but I am really glad they did. Here is a list of some of the benefits the ingredients on Greens First can provide:
• Increase Energy Levels without Stimulants
• Boost the Immune System
• Improve Digestion
• Assist in Weight Management
• Balance Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
• Promote Mental & Cognitive Acuity
• Alkalize and Balance Body pH
• Promote Healthy Heart & Liver Function
• Reduce Inflammation, Relieve Stiff & Achy Joints
• Detoxify and Promote Overall Wellness
Oh did I mention that I have lost 10lbs since I have been having this breakfast. One day a patient said that I looked like I had lost weight. I thought that was weird cause I wasn’t trying to loose weight. So I weighed myself and BAM! I was pleasantly surprised. What a deal!
So next time your in my office get a sample of Greens First and see for yourself how good this stuff is!
YES! This stuff is amazing! Tastes so good, my favorite combo right now is the berry version with the vanilla protein powder that’s by the same company. Come on in and I will give you a sample with a nice cold bottle of water to go with! 🙂
Soooo not fair doc….lost 10lbs without even trying… I am going to try and get an appt on aug 31 and I will have a go at your “Breakfast adcition.” I don’t have a problem with eating breakfast, I am trying to “boost” my immune system by eating 5 times a day. I would love to try this stuff. Do you blend it or just shake it up? Talk to you soon…
Grace, peace and much love,
kim
I think you’ll be happy with my addiction Kim. It is great that you are eating 5 meals a day.
I put it in about 15oz of water and a little ice and shake it up.
Thanks for the grace, peace and love!
Love, joy and peace,

I’ve been Dr Killcup’s patient for 20 years. Seeing his fast weight loss motivated me to try greens first. I replaced breakfast with one scoop greens first and one scoop protein, for 3 months while strength training and/or cardiovascular exercise 1 or 2 days per week. I did not lose much weight – 5 pounds – but I lost a lot of body fat and added muscle. I’ve been trying to lose bodyfat, unsuccessfully, for about 3 years, by following the same routine mentioned above. Greens first clearly made a difference for me by cutting down on my calories without experiencing hunger cravings.
That’s great news Joe! Thanks for the feedback!
I live in Indiana where can I get greens first
Great Question Sharon! You can order it on-line at :www.emersonecologics.com/CustomOrder.aspx?RefID=00207842 put “kilcup” in the patient access code. This is where my patients can purchase Greens First and have it shipped right to them.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
where can I get greens first im in indiana
You hooked me with this article! I tried to order from Emerson, but “kilcup” didn’t work, so I just used my Amazon Prime. I am hoping it tastes as good as you say. Right now I have been using All-In-One Vega powder – it was recommended by Kris Carr. I doesn’t taste bad, but does have an over-powering flavor when added to a smoothie. Now going to search your site for protein powder recommendations. =)
Jenna I did this article about 4 years ago. Can you guess what I had for breakfast? Greens First….PRO! Bam! Yep. They came out with an upgrade about 6 months ago. I had it with a vegetable protein mix. You know it’s funny I think this was one of my first videos. I think I look depressed! Anyways I’m glad you liked the article and I hope you like greens first.
I am confused why if it’s packed with all that goodness there is only 1 gram of fiber and 1 gram of protein?
Hi Denise,
Great observation! I wrote that article 5 years ago and this morning I had my Greens First PRO! I don’t only have the GF though. I mix it with a good protein and fat. I get my fiber by through my snacks, lunch and dinner.
What is great about the GF is the nutrient content.
I hope that helps.
That is good to know 🙂
I also read that it is not completely gluten free due to the barley grass juice powder. I do not eat gluten right now. Do you find this to be a problem for patients who have taken this and have a gluten intolerance?
I would love to know the source of protein you use 🙂
Hi again Denise,
Barley GRASS is not a grain. To the best of my knowledge barley grass good for all people sensitive or out right intolerant to gluten. My wife is one of those who is extremely sensitive to gluten and she can take greens first without any problems.
It is very possible for a person to have both a problem with gluten AND barley. Testing is key here.
Great questions and comments.
Oh I rotate my protein from blends of rice, hemp and pea.
Ok cool. Which shake do you like the best if I were to try one? They have a few different flavors.
I like the original Greens First the best. I’ve mixed the GF with both vanilla and chocolate protein and I like it with either.
Not sure if I have written before, but will comment anyway. We don’t live close to you, but would like to know, since you say you can help some from a distance, besides chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, mental and physical fatigue, can you handle sleep disorders also? My husband is SO frustrated, and bedridden except for bathroom functions, and wants help from somebody who really cares! He is through with conventional medicine, 15 minutes after sometimes and hour wait, plus the prescription pad, which has him on about 4 drugs that only help a little bit! To go to a doctor he must, thoroughly get papers together to send before he comes, or before any kind of consultation, and his illness is keeping him from doing this! Is there any way you can help? We are hoping this is the kind of challenge you always want to take to be able to help your patient! Always helps to know your doctor cares, truly cares, about your condition! This is how John feels about his first alternative doctor he is desparately looking for at this moment in time in his young life. He is 56! This has been going on 5 years, and is so hard for him to take. Will wait to hear from you, and thank you for listening. Sincerely, Ruth Kromka, for John Kromka
