Greens powders have worked their way into wellness routines, claiming to help you get the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from a day's worth of fruits and vegetables in just one convenient drink. According to Amanda Sauceda, MS, RD , the formulations for greens powder supplements are all unique, but all these powders have a variety of fruits, vegetables, and sometimes herbs, adaptogens , and other functional ingredients that can help to fill nutritional gaps in the diet . 

Many of these products can make impressive health claims, marketing themselves as a quick way to transform gut health, improve immunity, boost energy levels, and even supercharge your metabolism. However, Miranda Galati, MHSc, RD , cautions that you’re unlikely to experience any massive health transformations just from drinking greens powders, as greens powders don’t replace an overall healthy diet and lifestyle . Even though these supplements can’t replace a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, they can still be a convenient way to get extra nutrients into your diet , says Sauceda. 

To choose the 12 best greens powders, we interviewed health experts, and our editors tested 18 greens powders to rate their taste, texture, aftertaste, smell, and overall value. Our nutrition editor, a registered dietitian, also rated these for nutrition and third-party testing scores to come up with our top recommendations.

Dietary supplements are minimally regulated by the FDA and may or may not be suitable for you. They also may interact with other supplements or medications you are taking. Our team of registered dietitians reviews supplements according to our rigorous dietary supplement methodology. We also had a registered dietitian review this page for its scientific accuracy. Please always speak with a healthcare provider to discuss any supplements you plan on taking.

Best Overall

Sakara organic protein + greens super powder.

• Nutrition 5 /5
• Third-Party Testing 5 /5
• Flavor 5 /5
• Texture 4.2 /5
• Aftertaste 5 /5

Why We Like It

If you want a greens powder that doesn’t really taste like a greens powder, includes four types of greens, and also serves as a source of protein, Sakara Organic Protein + Green Super Powder is the perfect powder to try. 

Each serving of this greens powder comes in an individual packet and has 80 calories as well as 12 grams of plant protein. This powder is one of the most expensive ones per serving on our list, but we think the added protein adds significant value. As a bonus, the individual packets make it easy to take this greens powder on the go . 

Brittany DeLaurentis, MPH, RD, CSO, LD loves that this supplement includes simple ingredients including wheatgrass, barley grass, and two microalgae, chlorella and spirulina. Microalgae is a good source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds , while also being an excellent source of plant-based iron . In fact, each serving provides 21% of the daily value (DV) for iron. Besides the protein blend and greens blend from organic spirulina, barley grass, wheat grass, and chlorella, the only other ingredients are organic coconut milk powder, vanilla powder, coconut sugar, and stevia leaf extract.

You might not realize you’re drinking a greens powder with this one, as the pleasant taste of vanilla overwhelms any green flavors, and the smell is a pleasant mix of mint and vanilla. We love that simply mixing it with water creates an almost creamy and smooth texture that would also be delicious paired with non-dairy or regular milk.

Sakara supplements go through seven rounds of third-party testing for purity and potency , but there is not further information on their website. 

It's Worth Noting

If you don't enjoy the taste of stevia, the flavor may be a little overwhelming. Also, we noticed a clump of powder at the bottom of the glass when we were done drinking, so you might need to take extra care to mix well. 

Product Details:

• Servings per Container: 10 
• Serving Size: 1 sachet (21 grams)
• Calories: 80 calories per serving
• Added Sugar: Yes, 2 grams total sugar
• Flavors: Hint of vanilla
• Third-Party Tested: Yes
• Active Ingredients: Plant protein blend of organic pea, hemp, and pumpkin protein and greens blend of organic spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, and chlorella

Best Savory

Dr. mercola fermented greens powder.

• Flavor 3.8 /5
• Texture 5 /5
• Aftertaste 1 /5

Dr. Mercola Fermented Greens Powder is a great choice for anyone who enjoys the savory, earthy taste of greens. There are no flavorings, sugars, or extra fruit flavors added to this powder—just a small amount of stevia and monk fruit. You can taste the greens along with the little extra tang that fermentation adds. 

While it may add an unpalatable taste for some, fermentation is one of this powder’s unique advantages. Fermenting fruits and vegetables increases the bioavailability and absorption of some antioxidants, so you absorb more of the good stuff than you would if eating them raw or cooked.  

With five different fermented “blends”, including a grass, sprout, vegetable, herb, and alga blend, there is no shortage of green and earthy flavors in this powder. Just one teaspoon mixed with a glass of water will give you a deep green drink that smells a lot like a vegetable bouillon cube and tastes pretty close to one too.

This vegan greens powder is also soy-free, USDA-certified organic , and has 30% of your DV for iron . 

The earthy, grassy flavors are strong, which may not be for everyone. The savory flavor may go well when added to a bone broth , mixed into a soup, or a green smoothie. 

• Servings per Container: 90
• Serving Size: 1 teaspoon (3 grams)
• Calories: 10 calories per serving
• Added Sugar: No
• Flavors: Original
• Active Ingredients: wheatgrass, barley grass, alfalfa grass, oat grass, broccoli, kale, spinach, green cabbage, celery, alfalfa sprouts, cabbage sprouts, broccoli sprouts, cauliflower sprout, kale sprouts, moringa, matcha, Tulsi (holy basil), mate leaf extract, parsley, peppermint, rosemary spirulina, and chlorella.

Best for Athletes

Biosteel powdered greens antioxidant superfood.

• Nutrition 4.5 /5
• Flavor 4.2 /5
• Aftertaste 4 /5

BioSteel Powdered Greens Antioxidant Superfood comes in three flavors, has 25 calories per scoop, and has 20 whole food ingredients . Some of these ingredients include a mix of land and sea greens, fruits, green tea for an antioxidant blend, and black pepper and inulin to help with absorption and digestion. It also includes a unique recovery blend of quercetin, turmeric, and astaxanthin with glutamine and leucine, which makes it stand out as the best choice for athletes.

While the recovery mix includes well-researched and beneficial ingredients like quercetin, which may reduce muscle soreness and damage , the amount included in each serving is much less than the amount used in studies.

DeLaurentis especially recommends this powder for competitive athletes who want to try greens powders as it’s NSF Certified for Sport , meaning that it’s been tested for purity and potency and verified to be free from contaminants and substances banned by international sports organizations.

The powder mixes well with water, leaving no gritty texture or clumps of powder behind. We tried the acai lemon flavor, which tasted like a minty fruit punch with just a slightly earthy aftertaste. While it was tolerable with water, the flavors would also mix well into a fruit smoothie.

While it includes ingredients to help with muscle recovery, the amount included is much less than the doses research has found to be effective.

• Servings per Container: 30
• Serving Size: 1 scoop (10.2 grams)
• Calories: 25 calories per serving
• Added Sugar: Yes, 1 gram
• Flavors: Pineapple Coconut, Acai lemon, Pomegranate berry
• Active Ingredients: Spirulina, barley grass, alfalfa, broccoli, spinach, kale, quercetin, turmeric, astaxanthin combined with glutamine and leucine, inulin and black pepper, goji, maqui berry, camu camu, tart cherry, blueberry, and green tea.

Best Fruit Flavor

Kos show me the greens powder.

• Third-Party Testing 3 /5
• Texture 4 /5
• Aftertaste 4.3 /5

KOS Show Me the Greens Powder has a delicious green apple flavor that tasted more like a green Jolly Rancher candy than a nutrient-rich greens powder. Each scoop has 30 calories and a mix of algae, greens, fruits, veggies, and prebiotics . The strong and pleasant fruity flavor comes from organic apples, stevia, monk fruit, and mint, with no added sugars .

The biggest downfall to the supplement was the texture, although it wasn’t a deal breaker. While it had an overall smooth texture when mixed with water, there was a slight graininess to it, and a few clumps left over in the bottom of the glass.

KOS recommends this drink for anyone who doesn't like the taste of vegetables, including kids and picky adults. We agree that you’ll barely taste any earthiness at all with the flavor they fittingly call green apple sorbet.

This greens powder is USDA certified organic , vegan, and made in an NSF certified facility, although it’s not third-party tested for ingredient purity and accuracy.

The texture was a little grainy with leftover clumps that wouldn’t dissolve in water, and it’s not third-party tested.

• Servings per Container: 28 
• Serving Size: 1 scoop (9.5 grams)
• Calories: (# calories per serving)
• Flavors: Green Apple Sorbet
• Third-Party Tested: No
• Active Ingredients: Wheatgrass, oat grass, chlorella, spirulina, kale, broccoli, green bell pepper, cabbage, lemon, mint, isomalto-oligosaccharise, and acacia gum.

Best Single Ingredient

True grace broccoli microgreens.

True Grace Broccoli Microgreens proves that more isn't always better when it comes to greens powders. Their powder has just one ingredient : broccoli microgreens. While it’s only one type of green, broccoli microgreens have powerful plant compounds including glucosinolates, which research has found may reduce the development and growth of various cancers like prostate, breast, skin, urinary, and colon cancer.

If you like the taste of broccoli, you’ll like the taste of this greens powder. The serving size is a meager ¼ teaspoon and when mixed with water adds no texture, just the faint smell and taste of broccoli. While it was enjoyable in a glass of water on its own, it would also mix well with soup, smoothies, or other beverages since the flavor was so light and mild .

One serving of this greens powder is the equivalent of ¾ cup of fresh broccoli microgreens, according to the manufacturer. While you could feasibly eat this much per day, microgreens are difficult to keep fresh unless you’re sprouting them yourself at home, and are considered a high-risk food related to the extensive number of salmonella outbreaks commercially sold sprouts have had in the past.

This broccoli powder is vegan, free from soy and gluten, USDA-certified organic , and soil-grown, which the manufacturer says increases the nutrients in the plants and the surrounding soil. It’s been third-party tested for heavy metals, microbes, potency, identity, and adulteration.

You’re only getting the nutrients from broccoli microgreens, not a variety of different greens like in other powders. This is also best for someone who doesn’t mind the flavor of broccoli.

• Servings per Container: 30 
• Serving Size: 0.25 teaspoon (0.4 grams)
• Calories: 0 calories per serving
• Flavors: None
• Active Ingredients: Broccoli microgreen

Best Texture

Your super super green mix.

Your Super Super Green Mix is as pure as it comes for a multi-green powder. With no added sweeteners, flavors, or fillers , each serving is pure greens. We like that it has just six ingredients , including some we didn't find in the other greens powders, like moringa and baobab. The bioactive compounds in moringa have been found to play a beneficial role in diseases like high blood pressure, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and inflammation while baobab is an exotic fruit rich in antioxidants and inflammation-fighting properties.

There’s no mistaking the smell and taste of this powder. It looks green, smells green, and tastes green, grassy, and earthy. The recommended serving size is a two teaspoon serving in four ounces of water for a “wellness shot”, and we found that the powder mixed incredibly well, with no gritty texture or sediment left behind. Each serving has only 20 calories but also includes two grams of fiber, which is uncommon for greens powders, and definitely an added bonus. 

The Your Super Super Green Mix is USDA-certified organic , non-GMO, plant-based, and free from gluten, corn, peanuts, and soy. They include the country of origin for each of their ingredients and claim that they’re all third-party tested for quality. 

With no extra sweeteners or flavors, the taste is very earthy. This pick may be better taken as a "wellness shot" or mixed into a smoothie or other flavored liquids.

• Serving Size: 2 teaspoons (5 grams)
• Calories: 20 calories per serving
• Active Ingredients: Wheatgrass, barley grass, moringa, baobab, spirulina, chlorella

Best for Smoothies

Ora organic easy being green.

• Flavor 3 /5
• Texture 3 /5

Ora Organic Easy Being Gree n has plenty of whole food ingredients and nutrients packed inside, each serving has over 9% of your DV of vitamins A, C, and K along with 2 grams of fiber. The flavor is orange, and it certainly smelled citrusy but tasted pleasantly green without much orange flavor. It has a thick consistency when mixed with water, making it a great choice for smoothies . The more we stirred this powder into the water, the thicker the consistency got, most likely due to the addition of tapioca oligosaccharides in the digestive adaptogens and prebiotics blend.

While this formula has plenty of beneficial ingredients like wheat grass, chlorella, celery, and kale, it also has some herbal ingredients that could potentially interact with medications or could be dangerous if you have certain health conditions. Therefore, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional before taking this if you are on any medication. For example, ashwagandha, an adaptogen commonly used to manage stress , can have dangerous interactions with some medications used for diabetes, high blood pressure, immunosuppressants, sedatives, and thyroid hormones.

Ora’s Easy Being Green is USDA-certified organic , non-GMO, vegan, and free from dairy, gluten, and soy. They utilize third-party testing and provide a detailed certificate of analysis for all of their products to confirm purity and potency.

The texture of this powder is thicker which is why we recommend mixing it into with smoothie. It contains adaptogens which could interact with medications, as always consult with your healthcare provider before adding it to your regimen.

• Serving Size: 1 scoop (8 grams)
• Calories: 30 calories per serving
• Flavors: Orange
• Active Ingredients: Barley and wheat grass juice powder, alfalfa leaf powder, oat grass powder, spinach, kale, broccoli, cabbage, chlorella, dandelion leaf, parsley, cilantro, celery, green bell pepper, leek, dulse, sea kelp, tapioca oligosaccharides, ashwagandha, Triphala

Best Neutral Flavor

Primal harvest primal greens.

Primal Harvest

• Texture 4.3 /5

Primal Harvest Primal Greens has a pleasant earthy flavor with only a slight natural sweetness. For a neutral, unflavored greens powder , this one was one of our favorites . It mixes well with water without becoming too thick or having a “powdery” feel, although we did notice quite a bit of sediment at the bottom of the glass after drinking it. 

This greens powder also includes adaptogens, mushrooms, and probiotics with digestive enzymes to support gut health. While the probiotics and digestive enzymes could be helpful for some, these ingredients may not be the best for everyone . 

Sauceda explains that your gut microbiome thrives with a variety of fruits and vegetables and that greens powders can’t replace a healthy diet. She also adds that most people produce enough digestive enzymes on their own, and if you’re not, there may be an underlying medication condition that needs attention from a healthcare practitioner. 

If you have any medication conditions or take medications, it’s important to talk to your doctor about potential interactions with the various adaptogens and herbs in this product. Supplements like this, with an extensive ingredient list and no doses listed, can make it difficult to safely determine medication interactions, says Galati.

The many herbs and functional ingredients in this powder could potentially interact with medications, and the exact amounts of some ingredients aren't listed. We recommend consulting with your health care provider about potential interactions before using.

• Serving Size: 1 scoops (8 grams)
• Calories: 34 calories per serving
• Flavors: Original (green)
• Active Ingredients: Superfood, Antioxidant and Mushroom Blend (including alfalfa leaf, wheat grass, spinach, spirulina coconut juice, broccoli, blueberry, camu camu fruit, reishi mushroom, shitake mushroom, maitake mushroom, etc), Nutrient Dense Natural Herbs and Extracts (including, acerola cherry extract, turmeric root, green tea leaf, ashwagandha root, etc) Digestive Complex (including apple fiber, inulin, etc), Probiotic Blend (including B. longum, L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus).

Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food

• Nutrition 4 /5
• Flavor 4 /5

For a budget-friendly option , Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Green Superfood Original Powder is a quality and pleasant-tasting green powder choice. We like that the mix is mostly made up of whole fruits, vegetables, and sprouted grains, and seeds. Of note, it also contains probiotics which some may or may not need. Even though there are over 40 ingredients, there are no herbal products or adaptogens , making this a potentially safer choice for people who may have a health condition or take medications, although checking with a healthcare professional before taking is always a safe choice. 

The flavor was a pleasant mix of fruity and grassy, with just a slightly bitter aftertaste that didn’t linger. Since we noticed a lot of clumpy sediment in our glass after mixing this powder with water, it may be better used in a smoothie so you’re not pouring nutrients (and money) down the drain. You could also be mindful to stir it longer and more frequently when just using water.

There was a lot of clumpy sediment left over after drinking this greens powder when mixed with water and may be more suitable for blending.

• Serving Size: 1 scoop (6.9 grams)
• Flavors: Original, apple, chocolate, and lemon ginger
• Third-Party Tested: Yes  
• Active Ingredients: Organic U.S.A. Farmed Green Juice Blend (including barley grass juice, organic oat grass juice, etc), Organic Fruit & Veggie Juice Antioxidant Blend (including, apple, broccoli, tart cherry, brussels sprout, etc), Organic Sprout Blend (including, flax meal, lentil, chia seed, sesame seed sprouts, etc) Raw Probiotic & Enzyme Blend (including, lipase, papain, bacillus subtilis de111®, organic pineapple flavor, etc).

Best Comprehensive Nutrition

Ag1 by athletic greens.

AG1 has 75 ingredients that make it a comprehensive nutrition powder drink. While experts agree that health can’t come from a greens powder alone, AG1 does provide you with 100% of your DV for vitamins C, E, 7 of the eight B vitamins, and zinc , as well as being a good source of several other vitamins and minerals. Therefore, it could be used in place of a multivitamin, although a healthcare professional can help determine your unique health needs.

It also includes 7.2 billion CFU of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, two beneficial probiotics commonly used in food and supplements. However, more ingredients don’t always make the product better. The lack of transparency for amounts of each ingredient makes it difficult to know exactly what you’re getting, says DeLaurentis. 

The flavor is slightly sweet and earthy without any bitterness, and while it mixes well with water for a rather creamy texture, there was quite a bit of sediment in the bottom of the glass, despite vigorously mixing with a spoon. 

AG1 is NSF Certified for Sport , so you can be sure that it’s free from contaminants and has been tested for quality and purity. It’s also vegan and free from GMOs, pesticides, artificial colors, preservatives, flavors, and sweeteners, and contains no gluten, dairy, corn, egg, peanuts, lactose, sucrose, or dextrose. 

There are many herbs and adaptogens in this product that could potentially interact with medications or certain medical conditions. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before adding it to your daily regimen.

• Serving Size: (1 scoop (12 grams)
• Calories: (50 calories per serving)
• Active Ingredients: Superfood complex (such as organic spirulina, inulin, organic wheat grass juice powder, green tea extract, etc), Herbs and Antioxidants (such as alkaline pea protein isolate, artichoke leaf extract, rhodiola root, ashwagandha root extract, etc), Digestive Enzyme & Super Mushroom Complex (including, bromelain, reishi and shiitake mushroom powders), Dairy-free probiotics (including, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum).

Best Matcha-Like Flavor

Amazing grass greens blend.

Amazing Grass Greens Blend (original flavor) had us thinking we were sipping a glass of matcha from the coffee shop, the flavor was that close. If you already enjoy and drink matcha tea, this greens powder will feel like a treat, with the added benefit of antioxidants, fiber, and digestive support in each serving. However, you may notice the texture for this powder. After stirring for one minute, it was grainy and left clumps of powder in the bottom of the glass. 

Each scoop of Amazing Grass Greens Blend has 30 calories , a green food blend, an antioxidant blend, three grams of fiber from flax seed and apple pectin, and a blend of digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics . While this supplement claims to support a healthy digestive system, some people could experience digestive stress instead due to the enzymes and prebiotics added, says DeLaurentis. 

This greens powder is third-party tested , and it is non-GMO, vegan, and free from added sugars. 

The blend of digestive enzymes, prebiotics and probiotics could cause digestive irregularities for some people.

• Serving Size: (1 scoop (8 grams)
• Flavors: Original, berry, chocolate
• Active Ingredients: Wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa grass, spinach, spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, rose hips, pineapple, carrot, acerola cherry extract, green tea leaf extract, acai berry, organic beetroot, raspberry, maca root, flax seed, pectin, fructooligosaccharides, amylase, protease, lipase, lactase, cellulase, Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Best with Protein

Sprout living epic protein green kingdom.

• Texture 1 /5
• Aftertaste 3.8 /5

Each serving of Sprout Living Epic Protein Green Kingdom has 140 calories , four grams of fiber , and an impressive 20 grams of protein . We like that this pick is a protein powder that doubles as a greens powder , as it includes greens like moringa leaf, spinach, spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, and other whole food ingredients.

One serving also has 40% of the DV of iron , 14% DV of sodium, 15% DV of potassium, and 8% CV of calcium, which makes it an ideal drink post-exercise when you need extra hydration and protein.

To get the whole 20 grams of protein, you need two scoops of powder, which were difficult to blend well into 8 ounces of water like the package directed. The result was quite chalky and the flavor was very earthy, which wasn’t ideal. Therefore, we recommend blending this powder into a smoothie, as frozen fruit and other ingredients could make the texture and flavor more enjoyable.

Sprout Living Epic Protein Greens is USDA-certified organic , vegan, Kosher, and free from grains, soy, gluten, and nuts, making it an allergy-friendly supplement. They state on their website they do third-party testing on their products.

The texture was chalky when mixed with the recommended eight ounces of water, so it may be best blended into a smoothie.

• Servings per Container: 24 
• Serving Size: 2 scoops (38 grams)
• Calories: 140 calories per serving
• Added Sugar: Yes, less than 0.5 grams
• Flavors: Green Kingdom 
• Active Ingredients: Acerola, baobab fruit, broccoli, broccoli sprouts, carrot, chlorella, coconut sugar, cranberry seed, Jerusalem artichoke root, kale, lucuma fruit, moringa leaf, pea protein, pink Himalayan salt, pumpkin seed protein, red banana, sacha inchi protein, spinach, spirulina, stevia leaf, sunflower seed protein, tomato

We also tried these popular greens powders, but they didn't get top marks in our tests.

• Vibrant Health Greens: We appreciate that this product is third-party tested, is an excellent source of probiotics, and includes amounts of each ingredient used, but the taste and aftertaste were very bitter. 
• Mindbodygreen organic veggies+: We love that this greens powder is third-party tested, but it was difficult to mix into water. There were several clumps we couldn’t incorporate and a thick layer of powder at the bottom of the glass. 

Should You Take Greens Powders?

Some people benefit from taking greens powders —but they definitely aren’t for everyone. While they can be a fun way to get extra nutrients, they’re not necessary for most people and definitely not something you’d want to rely on as a main source of nutrients, says Sauceda. Here are some scenarios in which they might be helpful.

• You’re a picky eater.  If you have a tough time including a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet, greens powders can make it simple to get a nutrient boost. The USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 1.5-2 cups of fruit and 2-3 cups of vegetables a day. If you’re not meeting this, greens powders could help fill in some nutrient gaps, says DeLaurentis.
• You’re traveling . Eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables while on the road is tough, and many greens powders are available in travel-size packs that make it convenient to add to a bottle of water while traveling, says Sauceda. Even though you’ll get a boost of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, you’ll still want to find fiber-rich snacks and meals , since most greens powders are low in fiber. Even though there are potential benefits, experts agree that you don’t need to stretch your budget to drink a greens powder. Whole fruits and vegetables, including frozen and canned, are more nutrient-dense, filling, and satisfying while also being budget-friendly, says Galati. When it comes to safety, there are plenty of people who may want to skip greens powders or check with their doctor before trying them.

Be cautious of using these supplements if:

• You have a medical condition. Many greens powders include a long list of ingredients, including herbs and adaptogens, that could be dangerous for people with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease, or kidney disease. Most powders don’t disclose the amount of each ingredient used, so it’s difficult to determine if the amount of a specific ingredient would be enough to interfere with your health.
• You take any medications. Herbal products and excess amounts of vitamins and minerals can interact with medications from birth control to blood thinners and antidepressants. If you take any medications, be sure to speak with your pharmacist or doctor before taking any supplement, especially a greens powder.
• You have a sensitive stomach. If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or experience bloating or gas, greens powders could make your symptoms worse, says Galati. Many powders include “digestive blends” that have ingredients like inulin or broccoli powder, which could aggravate a sensitive digestive system, she adds.

Our team works hard to be transparent about why we recommend certain supplements; you can read more about our dietary supplement methodology here .

We support supplements that are evidence-based and rooted in science. We value certain product attributes that we find to be associated with the highest quality products. We prioritize products that are third-party tested and certified by one of three independent, third-party certifiers: USP, NSF, or ConsumerLab.com.

It's important to note that the FDA does not review dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they go to market. Our team of experts has created a detailed, science-backed methodology to choose the supplements we recommend and gives more details on what we specifically look for in supplements.

While we feel it is always best to get your greens through whole foods , supplementing with green powders can come in handy in situations such as when you are short on time, traveling or when you don’t have access to greens. Sakara Life Greens + Proteins was our top choice due to using quality ingredients and having a great taste and texture, while containing protein—which many greens powders do not. If you're new to trying greens powders, and you don't want to spend too much, Garden of Life's greens powder costs one-third of what our top option does per serving, and has many of the same benefits. This category is constantly evolving, and we will continue to update our picks to highlight the ones we feel stand out from the rest.

We used expert input at every stage of reporting and writing this story, from vetting the product list, devising a testing methodology, choosing winners, and providing supplemental information about when to use greens powders and how. Here are some of the experts we spoke to.

How Greens Powders Are Made

To pack all of the vegetables, herbs, and fruits into a greens powder, many supplements freeze dry and dehydrate whole foods, or use extracts of various herbs and adaptogens. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as freeze-drying plants could help retain 93% more carotenoids, 34% more vitamin C, and 11% more phenolic compounds than heat-drying, although most greens powders don’t disclose which drying process they use.

Plant extracts, including herbal extracts, are made by dissolving the plant matter in a solution specific to the plant to concentrate the various beneficial compounds in each plant. Extracts are not standardized, which is one of the reasons third-party testing for purity and potency is such a valuable selling point for these products.  

Ingredients: What to Pay Attention To

It is essential to carefully read the ingredient list and nutrition facts panel of a supplement to know which ingredients and how much of each ingredient is included, relative to the recommended daily value of that ingredient. Please bring the supplement label to a healthcare provider to review the different ingredients contained in the supplement and any potential interactions between these ingredients and other supplements and medications you are taking.

One of the most common ingredients in greens powders is—you guessed it—greens. While for many people this is a benefit, people who take blood thinning medication may want to steer clear of greens powders. Many of these supplements are high in vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in blood clotting. People who take blood-thinning medications, like Warfarin, need to maintain consistent vitamin K intake and greens powders could impact the medication’s effectiveness. 

How Much Greens Powder Should You Take? 

There’s no standard dose or formula for greens powders, and while some manufacturers include the dietary reference intakes (DRIs) on the label for the vitamins and minerals found inside, not all have these detailed labels. 

For vitamins and minerals, only vitamin D, potassium, calcium, and iron are required to be listed on the nutrition facts panel, so it can be impossible to know exactly what you’re getting with each supplement.  

How to Take Greens Powders

Instead of popping a supplement in a capsule or pill, greens powders are made to be mixed with water, milk, a smoothie, soup, or even enjoyed in baked goods. The most common (and often manufacturer-recommended) way to enjoy greens powder is mixed with a glass of water or milk (plant-based or dairy). 

You can drink greens powders any time of day, unless there are added ingredients, like caffeine, that would be better in the morning, or melatonin or tart cherries that may be better suited for evenings. 

Potential Benefits of Greens Powders 

Many greens powders are naturally rich in chlorophyll , the pigment responsible for fruits and veggies rich green hues, and include important vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and even biotin, which can have a range of benefits to support immunity, metabolism, and cell health, says Galati. If you have undiagnosed vitamin insufficiencies, greens powders may help you feel more alert and energized, she adds. 

These supplements can make it easy to get greens like spirulina and chlorella, which are high in antioxidants and nutrients, but aren’t typically found in American grocery stores. Some are also fortified with probiotics, which could help to diversify your gut microbiome, especially if you aren’t regularly eating probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, or sauerkraut. However, note there is not a standard dose and type of probiotic supplement best for everyone, and probiotics are not always recommended .

Are greens powders good for you? 

Greens powders can supplement your diet with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, but experts don’t recommend that you use them to replace whole fruits and vegetables in your diet. Whole fruits and vegetables are often more nutrient-dense, satisfying, and cost-effective, says Galati.

Is it safe to take greens powders? 

For people who are healthy and take no medications, greens powders are most likely to be safe, although every formulation is different and the ingredients and nutrients added can vary. If you have any medical condition, allergies, stomach sensitivities, or take any medications, greens powders should be taken with caution, and checking with a healthcare provider is recommended.

Are greens powders worth it? 

The greens powders on our list range anywhere from $0.50 to $4.50 per serving, with the average cost per serving around $2. Some greens powders may be able to replace multivitamins or protein powders, which adds value. Since many greens powders include little to no calories, fiber, protein, or other key nutrients, fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables may be a better use of a limited food budget.

8 Best Greens Powders, According to Registered Dietitians

While it's ideal to get your nutrients from a well-balanced diet, these options can be beneficial if you can't get your daily fill.

We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.

Our articles on supplements — from the best vitamin D supplements to the best magnesium supplements —are informed by nutrition expertise, but the ultimate choice is a personal decision between you and your healthcare provider. Since dietary supplements are not approved by the FDA prior to going to market, it’s important to do your research before adding them to your regimen. Our team of registered dietitians in the Good Housekeeping Institute Nutrition Lab analyzed over 30 greens powders, prioritizing picks that have been tested by a credible third party such as USP and NSF . These measures are designed to help ensure there are no harmful substances in the products themselves and to verify that what is in the bottle is what is on the label. You can read more about how we tested below.

Almost all the greens powders start with a blend of spirulina and chlorella (two nutrient-packed types of algae), plus antioxidant-rich wheatgrass. Beyond that, they may include anything from a handful of other greens to hundreds more ingredients, including probiotics, adaptogens and traditional Chinese herbs. Read on below to learn everything you need to know about the best greens powders, including what to look for and how to use them.

If you're interested in finding out more about using supplements to support your health and wellness goals, check out our top picks for the best multivitamins for women , the best electrolyte supplements and the best protein powders .

You can spend a fortune on greens powders, which is one of the reasons we like this moderately-priced mix that has many of the same certified-organic, non-GMO ingredients as the pricier brands, including the ubiquitous spirulina, chorella and wheatgrass, plus green tea leaf, carrot, acai, pineapple extract and probiotics. It's also vegan and gluten-free, and is available in three flavors (original, chocolate, and berry), though our experts note that the original flavor can taste "grassy." You can purchase it in on-the-go individual packets , too.

This budget-friendly pick is USDA-certified organic and c omprised of 100% spirulina powder , which is made from single-cell algae. According to the company, it is manufactured in the USA in a FDA-certified facility with adherence to good manufacturing policies.

Because of the unique taste, it may be difficult to drink straight. Reviewers report a slight chlorophyll-like taste, however it's not as overpowering when mixed into smoothies or with cold liquids.

One of the most well-known and popular powders, AG1 is NSF Certified for Sport, so you know every one of the 75 ingredients, including pea protein isolate, burdock root powder and pre-and probiotics, has been third-party tested for banned substances in athletic competitions. This gluten-free and vegan powder is pricey and while you can save on a monthly subscription, you might want to consider other options if budget is a constraint. Greens powder enthusiasts that we spoke with for this story report AG1 tops their lists for best tasting because, unlike many others, it goes down smoothly with no overly grassy or earthy flavors.

It is approved by ConsumerLab.com and passes their test for containing acceptable levels of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury as well as pesticides and microbes. Be aware AG1 contains live probiotics which must be refrigerated, except for the single-serving packets. Another thing to note: This greens powder contains 50 calories per serving — that's not necessarily high but it has more calories than others on this list.

If eating organic is an important part of your dietary plan, this blend from Garden of Life claims to contain "40 nutrient-dense raw, organic greens, sprouts, fruits and veggies," as well as pre-and probiotics and is free from any artificial flavors or sweeteners including stevia. You can also purchase on-the-go packets , which is convenient when traveling.

According to the company, this product is made from grasses that are "juiced and cold temperature-dried immediately at the farm within an hour of harvesting." It is also USDA-certified, Non-GMO Project Verified and approved by ConsumerLab.com. It's available in a variety of flavors from original to apple and chocolate, though some reviewers say that the original flavor has an earthy and grassy taste; many preferred apple.

This probiotic-packed powder has a mix of six different types of grass, in addition to a long list of other ingredients. (Keep in mind that more doesn't necessarily equate to better.) It packs in adaptogens, lichen powder for vegan-friendly vitamin D3, burdock root for liver support, and two grams of fiber.

Green Vibrance contains 25 billion live probiotics from L actobacillus acidophilus, which some research suggests may be beneficial for digestive health. The product should be stored in your freezer or refrigerator after opening due to the live active cultures. Some reviewers report the product has an earthy and slightly grassy taste, and may taste better mixed into smoothies.

This greens powder is NSF Certified for Sport , meaning it has been third-party tested for banned substances in sports, unsafe levels of contaminants and masking agents. It is packed with vitamins and minerals, so it may be a questionable choice for those already on a multivitamin regimen. Alternatively, based on your healthcare providers advice, it could possibly serve as your daily multivitamin. It comes in two flavors (blueberry acai and lemon mint) and, according to reviewers, it has a very grassy and slightly sweet taste from stevia. Some report it blends well in smoothies and tastes better in very cold water.

Saba appreciates that is has added beetroot for athletes: "Studies indicate that beetroot may increase oxidative flow to muscle." Additionally, she adds, "tart cherry may be helpful in aiding recovery after a tough workout."

Bare Performance Strong Greens powders is Informed Sport -tested for banned substances and includes three grams of dietary fiber . This blend of grasses, freeze-dried coconut water, beetroot juice, turmeric root powder and a touch of stevia for sweetness is available in lemon and pineapple coconut flavors as well as individual packets. The majority of reviewers we spoke with prefer the pineapple coconut flavor over lemon, although taste is subjective. Most reviewers report that the flavor is not overpowering and it mixes very easily into smoothies or protein shakes.

This greens powder contains only one ingredient, USDA-certified organic spirulina, a type of blue-green algae, making it an attractive choice for the greens purist. It has no sweetness but has a strong chlorophyll taste. The finely ground powder can add vibrant color to smoothies or smoothie bowls.

Spirulina is naturally rich in the fatty acid gamma linolenic acid, beta-carotene (Vitamin A) and vitamin B-12. It also contains iron. While studies are limited, spirulina does show promise with the prevention of metabolic syndrome and lowering blood pressure .

A family-owned business founded in 1968, NOW performs rigorous testing on each supplement it produces. In fact, according to the company, it takes at least three years to launch a new product because of all the testing. NOW recently received ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) for both the analytical and microbiological laboratories.

How we choose the best greens powder supplements

The registered dietitians in the Good Housekeeping Institute Nutrition Lab reviewed over 30 greens powders, narrowing down our top selects based on the following criteria:

• Third-party tested: We prioritized companies that conduct third-party testing by credible institutions, such as USP and NSF , to ensure quality standards, and that what is on the product label is, in fact, what consumers are purchasing. We reviewed marketing claims, ingredient lists and product quality, and prioritized companies that test for heavy metals, pesticide and herbicide contamination, among other items of concern. We also highlighted companies that have strict internal quality control standards.
• Variety: We sought out various types of greens powder supplements which reflected different taste and texture profiles as well as brands that mixed easily into water and smoothies, since that is the popular way to use them. We included options for both single ingredient and blends that could accommodate a range of dietary preferences. We also looked for brands that offered single-serving packet options convenient for traveling and on-the-go in addition to multi-serving containers.
• Ingredients: We focused on companies that use better quality ingredients and avoid artificial preservatives, sweeteners, fillers, synthetic dyes and colors.

What to look for when shopping for the best greens powder

There are an overwhelming amount of greens powders available on the market today, so here are a few tips to keep in mind.

✔️ I ngredient list: Registered dietitian Joy Maraj MS, RD CDN, CNSC recommends being conscious of added sugars and calories. She explains, "they can easily add up, especially if you are using these powders to add to a smoothie that have other ingredients and powders in it." She also cautions to be aware of heavy metals, such as lead, which can be a problem with a lot of greens powders. Overall, it's a good idea to avoid products with artificial flavors and preservatives. We recommend choosing brands that have been certified by a credible third-party organization to ensure what the label states is in the product is accurate and that the product has been tested for heavy metals, purity and potency. Select brands that are verified by institutions such as USP, NSF, and Informed Sport.

✔️Multivitamin compatibility: Many of the products we reviewed contained a sufficient number of vitamins that could lead to excessive consumption if taken at the same time as a multivitamin. As always, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider before adding any supplement to you daily regimen.

✔️ Storage: If you travel a lot and plan on using greens powder on-the-go, choose a brand that offers single-serving packets instead of a large multi-serving container. Refrigeration is also a consideration; some of the brands we looked at contain ingredients, such as probiotics, which may require cold storage.

✔️ Price: Greens powders can vary greatly in price and therefore we've listed a range of choices to suit all budgets. As with most things, higher prices are not necessarily a good indicator of quality.

Are green powders worth it?

While it's ideal to obtain your nutrients from a well-balanced diet that includes whole fruits and vegetables, greens powders can fill in the gaps when you can't fulfill your daily servings. Some of the benefits of include:

✔️ Convenience: " Powders are a fast and easy way to supplement diets that are deficient in natural greens, especially when you're traveling or when healthy options are limited," Maraj says. A greens powder also can serve as a vitamin boost in your morning smoothie .

✔️ Wider variety of greens: Even if you love broccoli and kale, it's unlikely you'd snack on the most potent greens in these powders. Recent research has shown that spirulina supplements can help lower blood lipids. For vegans and vegetarians, chlorella can provide vitamins D2 and B12 , which are tough to get from other plant-based foods, and wheatgrass and other grasses contain high levels of chlorophyll, which contains valuable antioxidants that may reduce inflammation .

✔️ Versatility: There's a greens powder for almost every health concern you have, including ones that contain pre and probiotics, which may promote healthy digestion .

What's the best thing to mix greens powder with?

Water is certainly a popular and incredibly easy option. But to aid in absorption, you may want to consider mixing the powder with a fat source. Many greens powders contain naturally occurring fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, E, and K. Therefore, Maraj recommends pairing these powders with a healthy fat source to reap the benefits. She suggests adding "the powders to a smoothie that contains a healthy fat source, such as nuts, nut milk or yogurt, for optimal absorption."

Verywell Fit / Jessica Juliao

Going green, in the form of powdered greens, is all the rage. If you haven't noticed, they're enjoying a moment in the spotlight; they seem to be everywhere, but before you jump into the world of greens, it's worthwhile taking stock of what you need to know. Eating greens (as well as all other fruits and vegetables) has been linked to numerous health benefits, but many people don't consume the recommended two cups of fruits and three cups of vegetables per day. Greens powders, which are made of dried, powdered vegetables, are a convenient way to get some of the nutrients found in vegetables , but they may not provide all of the same benefits that you get from eating real veggies.

Greens powders make it easy to get some nutrients from vegetables, although they aren’t a substitute for eating whole vegetables—which are much higher in fiber and other nutrients, suggests Maddi Osburn, RDN, LD . However, a greens powder can be helpful when you aren’t able to eat as much produce (if you’re traveling, for instance). Some greens powders contain a high amount of vitamins and minerals, which can essentially act as a multivitamin . While other greens powders contain primarily antioxidants, and may have little or no vitamins and minerals in them. Many greens powders also contain herbs, adaptogens, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and other added ingredients that may provide additional health benefits but are not necessarily suitable for everyone.

To select our top greens powders, our dietitians researched and reviewed several products on the market, evaluating for nutritional content, quality of ingredients, and safety. We tested 19 greens powders in the Verywell Testing Lab and rated each product for taste, texture, smell, third-party testing, nutrition, and value . Many of our top choices are certified third-party tested to ensure their ingredient list is accurate and free of contaminants. If there are adaptogens or other additions in these greens powders, we call them out and explain who may want to avoid them so you can make the best choice for your individual needs.

Editor's Note

Our team of registered dietitians reviews and evaluates every single supplement we recommend according to our dietary supplement methodology . From there, a registered dietitian on our Expert Review Board reviews each article for scientific accuracy.

Always speak with a healthcare professional before adding a supplement to your routine to ensure that the supplement is appropriate for your individual needs and which dosage to take. Some greens powders may not be recommended for pregnancy or breastfeeding, or they might interact with certain medications or worsen symptoms of chronic illnesses.

Who It's For

This is a great choice for those looking for an organic, comprehensive greens powder with additional probiotics and digestive enzymes.

Why We Recommend It

The Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Green Superfood offers an extensive fruit, vegetable, and sprouted grain and seed blend in addition to greens, and it has been voluntarily tested and approved by ConsumerLab's Quality Certification Program. It provides 70 percent of the recommended daily amount of vitamin K, 35 percent of vitamin A, 10 percent of riboflavin, and smaller amounts of folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, and potassium.

It contains an extensive list of ingredients that may provide additional benefits beyond those of other greens powders , although if you have a food allergy or are taking any prescription medications, it's always important to read the label. For example, it contains digestive enzymes, so if you have any digestive problems, check with a healthcare provider to see if these ingredients could affect your symptoms. Certain digestive enzymes can help with specific digestive difficulties, but the enzyme(s) have to be matched to the condition, and they likely provide no benefit to healthy people.

It also contains probiotics, including two Lactobacillus probiotic strains that may help alleviate certain digestive conditions and support a healthy gut microbiome. However, research is still preliminary, and there are currently no clear recommendations for using this combination of probiotics in the general population.

Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Green Superfood is organic, gluten-free, and vegan. We like that the flavor has some fruity notes to complement the grassy taste of a greens powder.

Things To Consider

• This greens powder is particularly high in vitamin K —with around 70 percent of the recommended daily allowance—which can be beneficial for some people but may pose a risk for people taking certain medications. Vitamin K can interact with blood thinners, cholesterol medications, and even some antibiotics.
• The digestive enzymes and probiotics it contains may not be suitable for everyone, so be sure to check with a health care provider if you have any preexisting conditions.
• The texture is a bit clumpy, requiring more mixing effort to fully dissolve. Alternatively, it would be a good option to blend into a smoothie.

Verywell Fit / Jhett Thompson

Best Budget

Amazing grass greens blend.

• Flavor 5 /5
• Texture 4 /5

Contains algae

More affordable than some options

Contains prebiotics, probiotics, rosehip, and digestive enzymes, which may not be suitable for everyone

Has a grassier flavor and slightly grainy texture

Serving Size: 1 scoop (8 grams) | Servings Per Container: 30 | Gluten-Free: Yes | Organic: No | Added Sweetener: Some blends contain stevia | Third-party tested: Yes

This is a more budget-friendly alternative to our top pick, with a similar nutrient composition, including added probiotics, herbs, and digestive enzymes. If you like matcha, this has a similar flavor profile.

Amazing Grass Greens Blend is third-party tested for purity and potency and contains a blend of fruits, vegetables, grasses, prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes . Each serving provides 58 percent Daily Value of vitamin K, 18 percent DV of vitamin C, and smaller amounts of vitamin A, calcium, and potassium. We also like that it contains 3 grams of fiber, which is relatively high for a greens powder.

This blend contains two types of algae— spirulina and chlorella—which have been shown to have potential health benefits related to their nutrient and antioxidant content, including reduced risk of certain chronic diseases.

The added prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes may be beneficial for some people but may not be good for others, especially those with digestive disorders.

• This powder blends well, but it does have more of a grainy texture as compared to others. When it comes to taste, it is definitely on the grassier side, with a similar taste to a matcha drink.
• Amazing Grass contains rosehips, which may interact with antacids, estrogens, lithium, and medications that affect blood clotting.

Best With Protein

Vital proteins collagen beauty greens.

• Texture 2 /5

Organic, simple ingredient list with no added sweeteners

Contains 14 grams of protein

Adds a hint of creaminess from collagen and coconut powder

Large serving size

Not vegetarian

Serving Size: 2 scoops (24 grams) | Servings Per Container: 12 | Gluten-Free: No | Organic: No | Added Sweetener: No | Third-party tested: Yes

With 14 grams of protein per serving from collagen (in addition to greens), this is a great all-in-one powder option to boost your protein, nutrient, and antioxidant intake.

We love the simple ingredient list of Vital Proteins Collagen Beauty Greens, which contains a mix of collagen peptides, dehydrated greens, hyaluronic acid, and a small number of probiotics . Vital Proteins is known for its high-quality protein powders and thoughtful ingredient sourcing. This powder is third-party tested for heavy metals and other potential contaminants and is also produced in an NSF Certified manufacturing facility. It contains 24 percent Daily Value of vitamin A and 17 percent DV of iron, as well as smaller amounts of folate, potassium, and other nutrients.

While the research on the benefits of oral collagen supplements is mixed, there is some evidence to suggest that collagen peptides may promote skin and joint health. Collagen can be a good source of protein—this powder contains 14 grams and can be used as a protein powder in your morning smoothie. Vital Proteins also contains hyaluronic acid, which may help improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. While the research on this is limited, one randomized control trial did show that oral hyaluronic acid can lessen wrinkle formation and improve skin.

It is flavored with coconut water powder and vanilla bean powder. The flavor of this powder has a hint of creaminess due to the collagen, and the vanilla and coconut also give it a subtly sweet, creamy flavor with some earthiness from the greens.

• This powder is on the earthier side for flavor, and it's more difficult to fully blend with just water, so it works best blended into a smoothie.

Best With Protein Runner-Up

Sakara organic protein + greens super powder.

• Texture 4.2 /5

Good source of iron

Contains 12 grams of protein

Some may find the vanilla flavor too strong

Serving Size: 1 scoop (20 grams) | Servings Per Container: 30 | Gluten-Free: Yes | Organic: Yes | Added Sweetener: Coconut sugar and stevia ⏐ Third-party tested: Yes

This is another great option if you are looking for an all-in-one greens and protein powder, and if you are looking to mask the taste of greens. It contains a high amount of iron as well, making a good choice for vegans and vegetarians looking to boost both their protein and iron intake.

Sakara Organic Protein + Greens Super Powder contains a plant-based protein blend including pea, hemp seed, and sesame protein, offering 12 grams of protein with all essential amino acids . The greens blend is made with spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, and chlorella—a good source of phytonutrients and omega-3s DHA and EPA. It also contains 25 percent Daily Value of iron, making it a great choice for vegetarians looking to increase their iron intake.

If you're looking for a product that masks that typical greens earthy flavor, this option may be good for you, as this tastes more like a protein smoothie than a greens powder. This powder has a slightly sweet, vanilla-coconut taste from coconut milk, vanilla powder, and a small amount of stevia that blends well into smoothies. For a nutrient-dense, high-fiber, high-protein smoothie, blend it with fruit, spinach, nut milk, and nut butter.

This product is made with simple, USDA organic ingredients and is third-party tested. Sakara offers the option to purchase one time or as a renewing subscription at a slightly lower price point.

• This product definitely differs from your typical greens powder, with a creamier texture and strong vanilla flavor, which some may not prefer.
• While it is free of common allergens, it is processed in a facility that processes wheat, milk, eggs, soy, and tree nuts, so it may not be suitable for those with certain severe food allergies.

Best with Added Nutrients

Serving Size: 1 scoop (12 grams) | Servings Per Container: 30 | Gluten-Free: Yes | Organic: No | Added Sweetener: No⏐ Third-party tested: Yes

If you are looking for a greens powder that has a lot of nutrients packed in one serving, AG1 could be a good fit for you. Think of this powder as an alternative to a daily multivitamin. It also contains additional adaptogens, digestive enzymes, and probiotics if you are looking to add those supplemental ingredients to your routine.

Athletic Greens (AG1) has an impressive 75-ingredient list in its greens powder, mainly from whole foods, vitamins, and minerals . The company has strict manufacturing standards with 100 percent traceable ingredients for each batch produced. Their greens powder is vegan, contains no artificial ingredients or pesticides, and is free of common food allergens, including gluten. We also appreciate it has strong third-party testing and is NSF Certified for Sport .

This greens powder could serve as a multivitamin—it is a good source of many vitamins and minerals (except iron). It also contains probiotics, digestive enzymes, and adaptogens. Adaptogens are plants that are thought to help the mind and body better handle—or adapt to—stress. AG1 contains the adaptogens Rhodiola rosea ( R. rosea ), ashwagandha, and medicinal mushrooms reishi and shiitake to help support the way your body responds to stress. Adaptogens have been used for centuries in some cultures for many health benefits, but it's important to note there are limited long-term studies on how adaptogens—and in what dose—impact our health.

AG1 offers a subscription service to make auto-renewing easier and at a lower price point, which can be appealing since it's a more expensive option. This greens powder can be purchased in a 30-serving pouch or in convenient travel packs to take on the go.

What stands out to us about AG1 is how well it dissolves in water; we didn't notice any clumps or grainy texture. We love that the flavor is pleasant, on the fruitier side, and not bitter at all!

• While appealing to some, it's important to note that the long ingredient list includes adaptogens, plant extracts, mushroom powders, digestive enzymes, and probiotics. These ingredients may not be best for everyone, especially if you are taking any medications, are pregnant, or breastfeeding. In these instances, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before you try AG1.
• If you already take a multi, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before taking this greens powder to make sure you're not getting too much of some nutrients .

Adaptogens in Athletic Greens

Rhodiola rosea is a plant that grows in mountainous regions in Asia and Europe. Some studies suggest it may help combat fatigue, exhaustion, and stress. However, more research is needed on optimal dosing and long term effects. Rhodiola can also interact with immunosuppressants, any medications broken down in the liver, those used for diabetes, or high blood sugar.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen associated with increased energy levels, improved sleep, and reduced anxiety. The long term safety and recommended dosing of ashwagandha is not well known from research. It's important to note ashwagandha may also interact with several medications, including immunosuppressants, sedatives, thyroid hormones, blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, and other herbs or supplements.

Medicinal mushrooms reishi and shiitake can also act like adaptogens and may have other health benefits like helping to lower inflammation and blood pressure. Reishi mushrooms may interact with blood pressure, diabetes, and blood clotting medications. High doses may also increase risk of bleeding—something to consider for those with blood disorders and who have a surgery in coming weeks. The safety of taking these mushrooms during pregnancy and breastfeeding is also not well known.

Best Savory

Dr. mercola fermented greens powder.

• Flavor 3.8 /5
• Texture 5 /5

Small serving size and versatile use

Contains fermented greens and algae

Lower in vitamins and minerals

Contains moringa and caffeine, which may not be a good choice for some

Serving Size: 1 teaspoon (3 grams) | Servings Per Container: 90 | Gluten-Free: No | Organic: Yes | Added Sweetener: Monk fruit extract and stevia ⏐ Third-party tested: Yes

This is a versatile greens powder that can be mixed into a variety of beverages and foods, packing a high dose of antioxidants into just 1 teaspoon. It contains some iron, but few other vitamins and minerals, making it a good choice for those looking for just antioxidants from their greens powder, as well as a boost of caffeine.

The Dr. Mercola fermented greens powder contains a blend of fermented grasses, greens, vegetables, herbs, matcha, and algae, including chlorella and spirulina. Fermenting fruits, vegetables, and other foods may increase the body's ability to use and benefit from the antioxidants found in those ingredients. We like that this powder has both spirulina and algae, as both have been shown to offer a number of health benefits, including lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. While it does contain 30% Daily Value of iron, it is mostly beneficial for its antioxidant content.

The flavor of fermentation may throw some people off, as it is more tangy and similar to a vegetable broth, but the added natural sweeteners ( monk fruit and stevia) help to neutralize the bitterness. While some may appreciate the taste with just water, this greens powder can work well when mixed into more savory liquids. We like the nutrient density of this powder and how well it blends without clumps. It may work best when mixing this into a soup or a green vegetable smoothie.

• This greens powder contains yerba mate and matcha , both of which contain caffeine. If you are sensitive to caffeine, are pregnant, or take a medication that could interact with caffeine, you may want to avoid this product.
• It also contains moringa, an herb that can affect how medications are broken down in the liver, especially thyroid medications and those used for diabetes. If you're taking any medications, review this product with a healthcare provider before using it.

Best for Athletes

Biosteel powdered greens antioxidant superfood.

• Flavor 4.2 /5

High in antioxidants

Tastes like a fruity, mint lemonade

Contains herbal ingredients that may not be suitable for all

Can be clumpy

Serving Size: 1 scoop (10 grams) | Servings Per Container: 30 | Gluten-Free: Yes | Organic: No | Added Sweetener: Stevia | Third-party tested: Yes

This greens powder is NSF Certified for Sport, and contains ingredients high in antioxidants that may help in muscle recovery, making it a great choice for athletes.

If you're a competitive athlete, it's essential to choose a product that is third-party tested for any ingredients banned by your sport. We recommend Biosteel Sport Greens powder for athletes because it meets the rigorous NSF Certified for Sport requirements . Some research suggests that fruit and vegetable juices and concentrates may promote muscle recovery. There is also specific research to connect tart cherry, an ingredient in this blend, with exercise recovery.

This powder contains a blend of different greens and berries, as well as other antioxidant boosters like green tea extract, CoQ10, and piperine. Note that this is primarily an antioxidant supplement (including vitamin C), but does not contain any significant amounts of other vitamins or minerals. It also contains an amino acid complex with l-glutamine and l-leucine, which is touted for exercise recovery, but the research on its effectiveness is inconsistent.

The Acai Lemonade flavor has quite a distinct smell of citrus, and that citrus flavor combines with almost a minty undertone for the flavor profile.

• Some may not love the aftertaste, and it does take a bit longer to mix this powder to get rid of clumps.
• It contains several herbal ingredients including green tea extract and piperine that can interact with certain medications, and are not suitable for those with certain health conditions, or those that are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• It contains inulin, a type of fiber which can be helpful for some people's digestion but problematic for others, including those with IBS.

Best Fruity Flavor

Kos show me the greens powder.

USDA Organic, non-GMO and produced in an NSF-certified facility

Pleasant green apple smell and taste

Not third-party tested

Can leave some sediment on the bottom

Serving Size: 1 scoop (9.5 grams) | Servings Per Container: 28 | Gluten-Free: Yes, but not certified | Organic: Yes | Added Sweetener: Stevia and monk fruit extract | Third-party tested: No

This powder is for those who don't like the taste of traditional greens powders and want a fruity alternative with simple, organic ingredients.

If you're looking for an organic and flavored greens powder, try KOS' green apple sorbet-flavored powder . It's sweetened with monk fruit and stevia, keeping the calorie content low while adding some sweetness. Although this product isn't third-party tested, it is USDA organic, non-GMO, and produced in an NSF-certified facility.

This product also has two grams of fiber and is a pretty good source of iron —three milligrams per serving (17 percent Daily Value). Iron is an important mineral to produce hemoglobin, which helps transport oxygen throughout the body. Having enough iron in your diet can also help reduce the risk of anemia.

In addition to the algae—spirulina, and chlorella—KOS keeps it simple with wheat grass, cabbage, kale, broccoli, apple, and green bell pepper powders. The smell and flavor of this greens powder is a strong green apple profile, which ranked high for taste among our testers. The fruity flavor helps tone down the earthy flavor of greens. This powder may be the best choice for people who really want the flavor of the greens masked.

• This powder contains a digestive prebiotic blend that may not be suitable for some individuals with digestive sensitivities and disorders, including those with IBS.
• It also dissolves pretty well in water, but it may leave some sediment on the bottom of your glass.
• It's not third-party tested for purity and potency.

Best Single Ingredient

True grace broccoli microgreens.

Single ingredient

Easy to fully dissolve in water

Does not contain micronutrients

Not the best taste if you don't like broccoli

Serving Size: 1 /4 teaspoon | Servings Per Container: 30 | Gluten-Free: Yes | Organic: Yes | Added Sweetener: No | Third-party tested: Yes

This powder is a good option for those looking to boost their antioxidant intake with a simple, single-ingredient powder.

If you want pure greens powder without unnecessary added ingredients, we recommend True Grace Superfood Powder Broccoli Microgreens because the only ingredient is powdered broccoli microgreens . Microgreens are miniature leafy greens that are high in antioxidants, and research suggests these small plants have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. This powder does not contain vitamins and minerals, but it is a good option to boost your antioxidant intake.

This powder is certified regenerative organic, non-GMO, and grown on small US farms. Certified regenerative organic signifies that True Grace places a strong emphasis on restoring soil quality and promoting sustainable land use practices. It's also third-party tested by Alchemist Labs for purity and potency, including heavy metal testing.

If you aren't a fan of broccoli, you may not love the taste of this greens powder because it does have a mild broccoli flavor. The flavor isn't overpowering, but it is noticeable. We also like that this powder blends fully in water in just a few seconds, unlike other powders that may take 20-30 seconds to thoroughly mix in.

• Because there is no added sweetener and because it is from broccoli microgreens, note this option may have a stronger, more vegetable-forward flavor compared to others.
• It does not contain vitamins and minerals.

Best for Pregnancy

Perelel synbiotic greens powder.

PerelelHealth.com

Physician approved as safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding

Slightly sweet, pleasant flavor

Contains inulin, which may cause gas and bloating in some

Serving Size: 1 scoop | Servings Per Container: 30 | Gluten-Free: Yes | Organic: Some ingredients are organic | Added Sweetener: Stevia

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, this greens powder is physician-approved safe option that is high in antioxidants and contains both probiotics and prebiotics.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and looking to supplement with a greens powder, you want to pay particularly close attention to the ingredient list and supplement facts, as well as the quality of the product. Some greens powders contain adaptogens, herbal blends, and digestive enzymes, as well as high amounts of certain vitamins and minerals, which may not be suitable or safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding. Perelel's Synbiotic Greens Powder is a physician-approved, safe option that is also third-party tested for purity and potency.

In addition to the antioxidant greens and fruit blend, it also contains a prebiotic fiber called inulin, which is a fermentable fiber that can help support a healthy gut microbiome. However, because it is fermentable, it can cause gastrointestinal symptoms like gas and bloating in some and may not be suitable for those with IBS. It also contains probiotics, which can help to populate the gut with beneficial bacteria. The use of probiotics is generally considered safe during pregnancy; however, the research behind strains, dosages, and their associated benefits is somewhat limited.

This powder comes in an acai berry flavor, made with natural flavorings, and slightly sweetened with stevia. We love that the flavor is subtly sweet, not overpowering, which may be helpful if you have morning sickness. It fully dissolves in water very quickly without leaving any clumps. The smell can be a little off-putting, as it is more earthy, but the taste is surprisingly pleasant.

It is non-GMO and free of gluten, dairy, soy, synthetic fillers, artificial colorings, and flavorings, Perelel offers a subscription service with monthly delivery (which also brings down the cost of the product), or you can buy it as a one time purchase.

• While it dissolves in water quickly, it can leave some sediment on the bottom especially if you don't drink it right away.
• It contains inulin which may not be suitable for some, including those with IBS.

Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Green Superfood tops our list with its comprehensive plant blend rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, complimented with a great taste. If you are looking for a greens powder that also includes protein, try Vital Proteins Collagen Beauty Greens .

While these didn't make our top picks, these greens powders are worth mentioning and may also suit your needs.

• Ancient Nutrition Organic Super Greens : We like the flavor of this greens powder, and it's easy to blend. Plus, it's found in many stores so it's a convenient buy. Like some other powders, it does have adaptogens added which may not be best for all.
• Your Super Super Green Mix : This powder ranks high for texture, as it mixes very quickly and thoroughly in water. It also has a pleasant earthy flavor, but it may not be best if you're looking to mask the flavor of greens.
• Nested Naturals Super Greens : The chocolate flavor of this powder is overwhelming when mixed with just water and it also left a lot of clumps behind. It could be a good option to blend into smoothies.

How We Tested & Selected Greens Powders

Our team works hard to be transparent about why we recommend certain supplements; you can read more about  our dietary supplement methodology here . We support supplements that are evidence-based and rooted in science. We value certain product attributes that we find to be associated with the highest quality products.

It's important to note that the  FDA  does not review dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they go to market. Our team of experts has created a detailed, science-backed methodology to choose the supplements we recommend.

In addition to our research, we tested 19 top-rated greens powders in  The Verywell Testing Lab . We tested each product by mixing one serving with eight ounces of water (or the recommended amount) in a glass cup with a spoon. We reviewed each greens powder for flavor, aftertaste, texture, smell, and value, recognizing that this can be subjective and differ between individuals.

Our nutrition editors analyzed all of the greens powders for nutritional value and third-party testing . To determine the nutrition ranking, we looked at nutrient content, quality of ingredients and also additional ingredients, such as adaptogens. We also considered third-party testing and associated certifications for purity and potency. We combined these scores with the taste testing scores to arrive at a total score for each product.

Some small studies have shown that greens powders might offer health benefits , such as lowering blood pressure, while studies looking at whether greens powders can increase energy have shown no benefit.

Fruit and vegetable powders have been shown to increase blood levels of vitamins as well as certain antioxidants, like carotenoids. Carotenoids are known to reduce the risk of certain cancers, age-related macular degeneration, and cardiovascular disease.

However, more research is needed to understand greens powders and whether or not they offer true benefits. Keep in mind that a great deal of the benefits of fruits and vegetables is offering nutrients in combination with dietary fiber , and greens powders usually offer little to no fiber. Greens powders cannot replace a well-balanced, varied diet, but they may be helpful to some people who aren't getting enough nutrients through food.

Greens powders may be beneficial for the following people:

• People who don't eat many fruits and vegetables : "For those who may not like vegetables, greens powders may be a great alternative," says Andrew Akhaphong, MS, RD, LD. Although greens powders aren't an exact replacement for eating green vegetables (and other nutrient-rich produce), they can provide you with important nutrients to support health that may otherwise be missing.
• People who travel frequently : It can sometimes be difficult to eat enough produce when you're constantly on the go, and greens powders can be an easy, portable way to meet some of your vitamin and mineral needs.
• Some athletes : "Prolonged high-intensity exercise can increase vitamin and mineral needs. Some athletes have trouble meeting even their baseline nutrient needs, let alone an increased amount for optimal recovery," says Osburn. If you're a competitive athlete and decide to use a greens powder, be sure to choose a product that is third-party tested and free from any banned ingredients for your sport.
• People with decreased absorption : People with certain illnesses like inflammatory bowel disease may have lower nutrient absorption. In these cases, a greens powder may help you achieve higher nutrient needs. However, be sure that there aren't any ingredients that can make your digestive problem worse.
• People undergoing surgery : Emerging research suggests that fruit and vegetable powders could aid in recovery from surgery. This may be especially beneficial for people undergoing oral surgery or other surgeries that limit the ability to consume whole fruits and vegetables.

The ingredients in greens powders vary significantly, so it's important to thoroughly read the label to make sure it's safe for you. Most greens powders contain more than just leafy green vegetables . Many contain grasses and alfalfa sprouts that could interact with medications or make some health concerns worse.

While they are often marketed as "food," greens powders are a supplement, and even food-based ingredients can be problematic for certain people in the quantities included. Also, because there is so much variation between products, a greens powder that is helpful for one person may not be good for another. The following people should be very cautious when considering a greens powder.

• People taking prescription medications : Most greens powders include high amounts of vitamin K, which can interact with a variety of prescription medications. "Medications it may interact with include blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering medications, antacids, and those controlling seizures," says Akhaphong. If you are taking any prescription or over-the-counter medication, it's best to check with your healthcare provider before using a greens powder.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding people : Many ingredients, such as adaptogenic herbs, prebiotics and probiotics, and digestive enzymes, are not well-studied in pregnant and breastfeeding people, so we don't know if they are safe. If you're taking a prenatal vitamin, adding a greens powder with added vitamins and minerals could lead to getting too much of some nutrients. Make sure to compare the labels of all supplements combined to the Tolerable Upper Limits set by the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements and consult a healthcare professional.
• People with end-stage kidney disease : "Depending on the product, a serving may contain 140 to 350 milligrams of potassium. Individuals with end-stage kidney disease may not be able to tolerate large amounts of potassium as the kidneys have a hard time removing excess potassium from their blood. A build-up of potassium, called hyperkalemia, may cause issues like dizziness, nausea, numbness, and a slow heart rate," says Akhaphong.
• People with a wheat allergy : Most greens powders contain wheatgrass, which may be problematic for anyone with a wheat allergy. Of note, wheatgrass is typically harvested before the seed sprouts on the wheat, meaning it is usually gluten-free. However, anyone with celiac disease or who avoids gluten should choose a product that is certified gluten-free. Every greens powder contains different ingredients and may contain allergens, so be sure to check the ingredient labels to make sure it's safe for you if you have a food allergy.
• Professional and collegiate athletes : While greens powders can be a helpful way to add nutrients to an athlete's diet, some supplements may contain ingredients that are banned for sport. "Not all greens powders are third-party tested, so it is especially important for athletes that may be drug tested to avoid using greens powders without proper third-party testing," says Osburn. Look for one that is NSF Certified for Sport , one of the most rigorous third-party testing certifications.
• People with digestive disorders : Many greens powders contain ingredients that can worsen digestive problems. People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who have trouble digesting certain carbohydrates, known as FODMAPs, may have trouble with greens powders. "Greens powders may contain FODMAPs like inulin or FODMAP-rich ingredients like some fruits and vegetables," says Akhaphong. Probiotics and other prebiotics can also worsen some digestive symptoms. If you are going to use a greens powder, "review all ingredients to ensure there aren't any added probiotics or prebiotics that could worsen your symptoms," says Suzie Finkel, MS, RD.
• People taking other vitamin and mineral supplements : If you're taking a multivitamin or other vitamin or mineral supplement, check to make sure that you won't be consuming too much of any one nutrient. Most nutrients in supplement form (including in greens powders) can cause negative—or even dangerous—side effects when you consume too much. Review the Tolerable Upper Limits set by the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements .

A Note of Caution with Alfalfa and Lead

Most greens powders contain alfalfa as a primary ingredient. Although people believe alfalfa to be helpful in treating many diseases, from diabetes to high cholesterol and digestive issues, there is no research to support this.

Regularly consuming high doses of alfalfa can be dangerous, especially for people with autoimmune disorders. Consuming high amounts of alfalfa may not be safe for pregnant or breastfeeding people as well as anyone with hormone-related conditions like breast cancer and endometriosis.

Alfalfa has also been shown to interact with anticoagulant medications, hormonal birth control, diabetes medications, and immunosuppressants.

Another potential concern with greens powders is lead. Lead is naturally found in many foods including green, leafy vegetables. Third-party tested greens powders will test for safe lead levels. However, it's important to note some third-party tested greens powders are still not recommended for regular use during pregnancy or for young children because they have a lower tolerance for lead. Therefore, always check with a healthcare professional if you are pregnant or before giving a greens powder to a child.

What to Look for in Greens Powders

Third-party testing.

Supplements that are third-party tested  are sent to a lab where they are tested for purity and potency to ensure they contain what they say they contain and do not contain any potential contaminants. Trusted third-party certifications include ConsumerLab.com, NSF, USP, and Informed Choice. However, these certifications can be difficult to obtain and expensive for manufacturers, so many companies choose not to get their products tested. If you are selecting a supplement that does not have third-party testing, we recommend choosing a trusted brand that does rigorous internal testing.

There is concern that some greens powders could be contaminated with heavy metals such as lead. In fact, when ConsumerLab.com tested 16 greens powders, they found high levels of lead in two products. The amount in these products was lower than the FDA standards for adults but higher than the much more stringent level that California proposition 65 puts forth, requiring a lead warning label. Children and pregnant people are more susceptible to the potentially harmful effects of consuming high levels of heavy metals.

Greens powders could also contain ingredients that are banned in high-level competitive sports, so finding one that is third-party tested specifically for sport, such as NSF Certified for Sport , is important for any competitive athlete.

Greens powders are typically a mix of powdered leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, and extracts, and can also contain seaweed (like spirulina), probiotics, enzymes, herbs, and some have the addition of protein powder. While some powders contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals, there isn't research to understand the bioavailability (how much your body can absorb) of these nutrients in this form. It could be more or less than eating fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.

Ingredients & Potential Interactions

It is essential to carefully read the ingredient list and nutrition facts panel of a supplement to know which ingredients and how much of each ingredient is included relative to the recommended daily value of that ingredient. Please bring the supplement label to a healthcare provider to review the different ingredients contained in the supplement and any potential interactions between these ingredients and other supplements and medications you are taking.

There are dozens of greens powders on the market to choose from. And while it may seem like they all offer similar benefits, many of them contain questionable ingredients or are not third-party tested by a reputable organization. Because greens powders have not been thoroughly researched and do not contain standardized ingredients, we are very selective with the brands we recommend. It's important to be aware some ingredients in greens powders may warrant caution including:

Adaptogens : Greens powders that have adaptogens may warrant caution for those on medications, are pregnant, or breast feeding. For example, reishi mushrooms may interact with blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, and certain cancer treatments. Rhodiola or ashwagandha may interact with several antidepressants, blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, thyroid medications, cholesterol medications, immunosuppressants, and many other drugs that are broken down in the liver. We suggest talking with a healthcare provider before taking supplements with adaptogens if you take any medications—even ones not listed here. In addition, the safety of adaptogen supplements during pregnancy and breast feeding is not well known.

Digestive enzymes : In general, digestive enzymes provide no benefit to healthy people. While more research is needed, digestive enzymes also appear to provide little to no benefit to those with digestive disorders unless there is a known enzyme deficiency. "Digestive enzymes are best suited for those with diagnosed enzyme deficiencies such as lactose intolerance or other known digestive conditions that may cause symptoms like gas or bloating after eating certain foods. If you have been diagnosed with any of these conditions, taking a separate digestive enzyme supplement that targets your specific issue is recommended," says Finkel.

Probiotics : Many greens powder contain low levels of probiotics —about the amount you'd find in yogurt (though doses vary). While you may have heard that probiotics are beneficial, there are many different types of probiotics, and currently, no clear recommendations around which strains, strain combinations, or doses the general population may benefit from taking. "We do not have good evidence of any benefits of probiotic supplements for general health. Specific probiotic strains have been clinically shown to improve a small number of gastrointestinal conditions, but these are not the bacteria you would find in a powdered greens product," says Finkel. That said, probiotics can make some digestive conditions worse, so consult with your healthcare provider before taking a supplement that contains probiotics.

Always speak with a healthcare professional before adding a supplement to your routine to ensure that the supplement is appropriate for your individual needs and to understand which dosage to take.

There is no standard dosage for greens powders, and ingredients and nutrient amounts can vary significantly. It's important to review the Recommended Dietary Allowance and Tolerable Upper Limits as set by the NIH for each ingredient to make sure you are consuming safe levels of each nutrient. Your body filters and eliminates excess water-soluble vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin C), so it's less likely these nutrients will cause harm. However, it is still possible to experience negative side effects from very high doses of these nutrients in supplement form. In addition, fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) can be stored in fat tissue and are dangerous when consumed in excess. Many minerals can also be dangerous in very high amounts.

People taking multiple supplements are at higher risk for exceeding the Tolerable Upper Limits of vitamins and minerals. You can review your greens powder and any other supplements you are taking with a healthcare provider to ensure you are not exceeding the upper limits for any nutrient as established by the  NIH Office of Dietary Supplements .

Frequently Asked Questions

Greens powders can provide many important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support health. They also may contain ingredients, such as spirulina and chlorella, that are primarily found in powder form and may offer some health benefits. The specific ingredients found in powders can vary significantly from one brand to another, and so do the potential benefits.

In short, we don't know. There has been little research done on greens powders as a whole. The limited research that does exist doesn't suggest that they offer as many benefits as eating whole foods, but more research is needed.

What we do know is that there are synergistic effects to eating whole foods. This means that the nutrients in whole foods work together, so you get more health benefits from eating foods in their natural form than you get from taking supplements.  "While greens powders can help increase your fruit and vegetable intake, don't count on them to completely replace whole foods. Most don't contain all of the vitamins and minerals you need," says Osburn.

One area where many greens powders fall short is in the fiber content. Greens and other vegetables provide fiber, which offers numerous health benefits, from better digestion to lower cholesterol. Fiber—when consumed from whole foods—is also linked to increased fullness with meals, which may help you eat less overall. But the same can't be said for fiber supplements. When it comes to greens powders, some greens powders contain no fiber, whereas others contain very little.

Green powders can be quite bitter or have a grassy taste, but there are many ways to make greens powder taste better . Instead of drinking them plain, add them to a smoothie with fruit, which not only adds sweetness but includes fiber and other nutrients. But you don't have to drink them. "Add them into scrambled eggs for omelets, as a seasoning for a soup, into pancake or waffle batter, in baked goods, or mix into your favorite dip," says Akaphong.

Greens powders can be very expensive and, in most cases, are not necessary. However, they can be helpful for days when you don't have time to prepare fresh vegetables or if you are traveling and have limited access to fresh greens. Whether or not they are worth it really depends on your individual nutrient needs, diet, and lifestyle.

Some greens powder brands advertise that they relieve bloating, but the evidence for this is not supported by enough research. Certain brands of greens powders contain digestive enzymes, which may help to alleviate gastrointestinal side effects like bloating in those with certain digestive enzyme deficiencies, although they are unlikely to provide any benefit to those without deficiencies.

Those with diagnosed enzyme deficiencies should consult a healthcare provider and may require prescription medication or a specific separate enzyme supplement. It is important to note that certain digestive enzymes and probiotic blends can make some digestive conditions worse, so they should be taken with caution for those with preexisting GI conditions.

Additionally, some greens powders contain ingredients such as inulin, a fermentable fiber, and alternative sweeteners, which can both cause bloating in some individuals, particularly those with IBS.

The price of greens powders varies depending on the brand and the formula, but they usually range between $20-40. Products that are third-party tested and/or USDA Certified Organic may come with a higher price tag.

Those with added ingredients like adaptogens, probiotics and digestive enzymes can also be more expensive.

“I love the taste of the Red Juice. I love that it gives an afternoon pick me up without caffeine. Super helpful. I take it before going to the gym.”

Life changing

I love this stuff. I have so many food allergies and this was the first I could find without any allergens. Tastes great, mixes effortlessly, even great with just water. Clean energy.

Incredibly tasty

Never has a reconstituted powder drink blown my socks off so completely. Not to mention I no longer need my 3pm caffeine boost because one scoop of Red Juice before I workout keeps me super energized all day!

Look no more!

This is one of the best powdered drink mixes out there. Dissolves nicely, and has a great flavor! I’d recommend this to anyone! Even if they don’t like “healthy” things, Red Juice is the perfect gateway. It will make you feel clean and energized!
