You do actually get used to the taste, heck even enjoy it, after your body realizes the good it is doing for you. My problem? Last year I had a mix of spirulina/chlorella/barley grass/wheat grass and had it with my veg/fruit smoothie, to which I mixed the elderberries in my garden with. YES ELDERBERRIES. I was literally wired and high half the day and then the extreme pain, diarrhea and vomiting occurred for hours and hours. AND HOURS. So now despite those green foods doing me good, because of the elderberries my body has programmed me to feel the gag/nausea response to any of them. Really frustrating.
