Life changing and it’s so good!

I’ve struggled with excess belly weight for years most likely due to stress and depression. Since starting this Green Juice I’ve noticed my belly is flatter, my energy levels are up and I just feel so good!! I wish I had started this when I was younger and not waited until my forties to start taking care of ME!

Green Juice

I love this stuff! Starts my day out with energy and great taste. Let's me know I've got a good start to my veggies for the day. I love the lemon zing. So refreshing! Love love love!

Great flavor! Easy to mix up with water or protein powder. Dissolves quickly with no clumping!

“I gotta admit, I’ve never felt healthier since putting it into my normal every day routine. I feel a lot calmer, I feel a lot more clarity, and I don’t get as overwhelmed (especially with my work being as busy as it is). I’ve lost some significant weight, too.”

Health / Jhett Thompson

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.

Drinking a glass of powdered green vegetables may not sound pleasant, but it can be one of the best ways to boost your vitamin and nutrient intake, rivaling even some of the  best multivitamins . According to the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans, adults should consume 1.5-2 cup-equivalents of fruits and 2-3 cup-equivalents of vegetables daily. ( 1 ) Greens powders are made of nutrient-rich dried leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, herbs, seaweed, and even have some helpful digestion-focused additives.

After our team of experts sampled 39 of the best-selling greens supplements and a few lesser-known standouts, we’ve determined which of them are worth the buy and which are about as effective as drinking soil. We researched the formulations, solubility, side effects, flavor, and more to narrow down the absolute best greens powders.

About Our Expert

This article has been reviewed by  Chelsea Rae Bourgeois , M.S., R.D.N., L.D., a registered dietitian with 10 years of experience in the clinical setting. She looked into the research we cite and the efficacy/quality of the greens powders we list to help ensure we’re providing advice that’s safe. However, everyone’s body is different, so before you try any new products, it’s best to consult your doctor.

Join  BarBend  expert tester  Jake Herod, NASM-CNC , and registered dietician nutritionist  Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, MS, RDN, LD , as they discuss our picks for the best (and most budget-friendly) greens powders.

How We Tested and Chose the Best Greens Powders

To measure the potential effectiveness of different greens powders on this list, we paid attention to a few specific factors. Our team of experts, including personal trainers and athletes, tested about 39 different greens powders, looking closely at the ingredients, flavor, solubility, and more.

Quality Ingredients

We feel that it’s important to gauge a product’s vitamin and mineral content. But that’s a surprisingly difficult task, as many greens products state that they’re full of everything the body needs, while leaving many vitamins and minerals off of the nutrition label. 

We prioritized products with transparent labels that provide as much information as necessary regarding the actual values of different vitamins and minerals. We also paid attention to ingredient sourcing, putting a high priority on whole-food-sourced powders.

Third-Party Testing

Some greens powder supplements are third-party tested, meaning all the ingredients on the label are accurate in the amounts written. We do our best to always prioritize third-party tested products to ensure our readers are getting the safest supplements on the market.

Product Taste

If we’re being totally honest, greens powders can taste pretty gnarly — and who wants to stir up an icky beverage first thing in the morning? Count us out. That’s why we made flavor a priority when picking our products.

Our product testers personally sipped each and every supplement on this list, comparing and contrasting different brands. In making our top picks, we kept flavor front-of-mind. After all, sipping a daily greens powder should be a consistent habit, and who wants to gulp down a beverage that tastes like dirt each day? 

Throwing your greens powder in a blender isn’t always convenient, especially if you want to sip your supplement on-the-go. So, we prioritized products that dissolve well in water with a spoon or shaker bottle. We made note of any clumps or ingredient settling as we tried one supplement after the next.

Side Effects

Luckily, most greens powders don’t have any side effects. Our testers kept track of any bloating, aftertaste, and digestion changes. Luckily, for every pick on this list, our testers noticed zero immediate side effects.

With that said, everyone’s body is different. If you have any allergies (or follow a specific diet, like gluten-free eating) or food sensitivities, it’s best to read the ingredient label closely before you try any new dietary supplements and speak with your healthcare provider or nutritionist as needed.

Expert Insight

While we certainly have some extensive experience when it comes to supplements, we’re not experts. So, to make sure you’re getting the highest-quality powders, we consulted an expert. Our team chatted with  Gianna Masi, RDN , a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer, to get her personal insight on the products we chose. And our intuition was accurate — she gave our picks a big thumbs up.

Customer Satisfaction

Everyone has different preferences and needs for their supplements. Regardless, we did our best to test and feature greens powders that seem to satisfy most of their customers. Each powder we picked comes with glowing reviews, and after testing them ourselves, we certainly agree.

Best Greens Powder Overall: Athletic Greens AG1

This nutritious greens powder is NSF certified for sport and includes 75 absorbable ingredients and is free of gluten, sugar, dairy, eggs, and peanuts. It is compatible with vegan, keto, and paleo diets.

• Available Flavors:  Pineapple Vanilla
• Certifications :  NSF Certified for Sport­®
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  50 calories, 6g carbs, 2g protein
• Highlights:  7.2 billion CFU probiotics, Digestive enzyme blend, CoQ10, Milk thistle, Folate, Zinc
• Sweeteners Used: Stevia
• Price:  $79
• Price Per Serving: $2.63
• Servings:  30
• The probiotic bacteria and digestive enzymes in this formulation may help with gut health and absorption of other nutrients.
• Filled with antioxidant-rich ingredients, such as spirulina, wheatgrass juice powder, and chlorella.
• The Rhodiola Rosea and ashwagandha may help with stress and anxiety.
• It’s NSF Certified for Sport®, meaning its claims are verified and it’s free of banned substances.
• Many of the ingredients are in proprietary blends, so it’s tough to know the exact amounts you’re drinking.
• This one is pricey, but you can save $20 with the monthly subscription.
• Vitamin D and vitamin K are absent from this formula.

To pick the best greens powder overall, we prioritized micronutrients and ingredients for digestive health. This pick checked all of our boxes to support overall health. Plus, from personal experience, I think it’s one of the best-tasting greens powders.

“The grassy flavor you get with most greens powders is mild here,”  our tester says, giving this an overall 4.5 out of 5 for flavor.  “It’s a pineapple vanilla flavor that’s tasty but light, so it can mix well with other ingredients or alone.”

Athletic Greens also has a stand-out ingredient label. One serving gives you more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin B12, among others. This supplement is dairy-free and has no fillers, artificial colors, preservatives, or animal byproducts. Considering it’s packed with so many crucial vitamins and nutrients in high doses, our testers gave the formulation a 5 out of 5.

I have to use an electric stirrer when mixing my scoop, and even then, it tends to settle since I like to sip my greens throughout the morning. So, I had to give the solubility a 3.5 out of 5 but so long as you keep a straw in your glass, manual mixing does the trick.

According to  Gianna Masi, RDN , a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer, the NSF Certified for Sport label is something athletes should prioritize.  “When I’m working with professional or collegiate athletes, I especially want to make sure I’m providing tested products such as ‘NSF Certified for Sport’ or ‘Informed Choice for Sport,’ so I don’t impact their eligibility in addition to their health.”

You get about 30 servings per container, but the bag costs $79, making it $2.63 per serving. Most other greens powders are just over $1 per serving, so we gave Athletic Greens a 1 out of 5 for price per serve. To soften the price, a cup of coffee is going to cost you at  least  $3.30 in a cafe, so if you grab a daily Starbucks, why not swap for a nutritious beverage?

Best Greens Powder with Fiber: Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens

A simple but effectively-dosed supplement that emphasizes sea greens and prebiotic fiber, and contains other ingredients in full doses backed by science. 

• Available Flavors:  Peach Mango, Unflavored
• Certifications :  None
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  60 calories, 9g carbs, 4g protein
• Highlights:  Organic prebiotics, Algae greens
• Price:  $45.99
• Price Per Serving: $1.53
• The six grams of fiber may help you feel full for longer and promote good digestion. 
• TL doesn’t use proprietary blends, so you know the exact amount of each ingredient in the formula.
• If you want to mask the flavor, you can use the unflavored option.
• Prebiotic Greens doesn’t include many micronutrients and adaptogens.
• There may be some more cost-effective options that are similar out there.

Fiber can promote good digestion, helping you to feel fuller for longer. “Most greens powders actually lack this ingredient,” says  Gianna Masi, RDN , a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer. But with this supplement, you get about 21 percent of your daily value. 

If digestive regularity is a challenge, Prebiotic Greens is a good pick. You get six grams of fiber per serving, plus a blend of probiotics for digestive health. However, it does lack any info on the actual nutrients you get with these ingredients, earning this product a 2 out of 5 for formulation.

“I really enjoyed the Peach Mango flavor,”  one of our product testers said, giving the taste a 4 out of 5.  “The flavor is definitely sweet but not too much and still a little earthy.”  However, one of our other product testers found the flavor too grassy and needed to be mixed with orange juice. Flavor is a personal preference, so it really just depends on what you like.

This one earned a 4.5 out of 5 for solubility because our testers had zero issues when mixing the supplement with water. It dissolved easily, and you didn’t need to consistently stir as you sipped the drink. 

When it comes to actual value and price, we thought this product was lacking a little, giving it a 3 out of 5 for price per serving. The 30-serving container costs $39.99 or $1.33 per serving, which isn’t particularly expensive. However, you can find cheaper products with better formulations, including specific percentages of vitamins and mineral

Best Organic Greens Powder: KOS Show Me the Greens!

This greens powder features a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and prebiotics sourced from all-natural and organic superfoods. It's got everything you need to help promote gut health and proper nutrition without any added sugars or artificial flavors all packed in a refreshing Green Apple Smoothie flavor.

• Available Flavors:  Green Apple Sorbet
• Certifications :  NSF Certified for Sport­®, USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  30 calories, 6g carbs, 1g protein
• Highlights:  Organic Prebiotic Blend, Whole-food fruit and veggie blend, Iron
• Sweeteners Used: Organic stevia, organic monk fruit
• Price:  $32.99
• Price Per Serving: $1.17
• Servings:  28
• Every ingredient in this formula is certified organic with no artificial flavors or ingredients. 
• Show Me the Greens comes with added extras, like prebiotics to help digestion. 
• The lower price point is appreciated, as some greens powders can cost double or triple this one.
• Some testers found the green apple flavor a bit too strong.
• KOS doesn’t list out the dosages of vitamins and minerals in each serving.
• Vitamin D and iron are absent from this formula, which are essential nutrients.

The ingredient list may be shorter than some other greens products, but KOS includes 13 different 100-percent organic ingredients, including apple, lemon, and mint, among others. While they may be part of proprietary blends, Show Me the Greens! adds organic superfoods like spirulina and wheatgrass to provide antioxidants and probiotics, which is why our testers gave this one a 4 out of 5 for formulation. ( 13 )

“The powder tastes like green apple but has an earthy aftertaste,”  says our product tester, giving the flavor a 4 out of 5.  “It’s drinkable and I can finish the whole serving but I can tell it’s a greens powder. It would be perfect if it were a little sweeter.”

The solubility also received a 4 out of 5 because our tester found it to be a little gritty, so you may want to use an electric stirrer or blender. Unfortunately, this isn’t always convenient on the go.

If you’re shopping on a budget, KOS’ greens supplement is a great fit. The 30-serving container costs $32.99, which is only about $1.17. As one of the cheapest greens powders on this list, this one earned a 5 out of 5 for price per serving.

Best Greens Powder for Digestion: Nested Naturals Supergreens

Nested Naturals Super Greens blends micronutrients with digestion-focused ingredients, including probiotics and digestive enzymes. You can get this product in a handful of flavors with different objectives, including immunity or energy.

• Available Flavors:  Berry Immunity, Calm, Chocolate, Energy Original, Focus, 
• Certifications:  Third Party Verified, USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  30 calories, 5g carbs, 2g protein
• Highlights:  1.67 billion CFU probiotics, Digestive enzyme blend, Fiber, Chlorella
• Sweeteners Used:  N/A
• Price:  $24.99
• Price Per Serving:  $0.83
• If you want a formula that may ease tummy trouble, Nested Naturals has probiotics and digestive enzymes. 
• The powder comes in multiple flavors and can make a great addition to your morning smoothie.
• Different flavors have ingredients for different purposes (ex: focus or energy).
• Most of the ingredients are in proprietary blends, which means they don’t disclose the exact amounts of each ingredient.
• This product doesn’t come in individual serving packs.

There’s evidence that combining probiotic bacteria with fiber may help maximize both of these ingredients’ benefits, improving your  digestive health . ( 3 ) This formula has a probiotic blend with about 1.67 billion CFU, digestive enzymes, and a fiber blend, all of which are helpful for digestion. However, we gave the formula a 2 out of 5 because it contains proprietary blends. 

And while it does contain fiber and probiotics, they’re not in very high doses. You only get about seven percent of your daily fiber value, which isn’t very much. And the 1.67 billion CFU is positive but some probiotic supplements contain 50 billion CFU or more per dose. ( 4 ) 

This supplement comes in a few flavors, including Berry Immunity, Calm, Chocolate, Energy Original, Focus, all with ingredients geared towards different benefits.  “I had the original and it tasted like a lot of other greens powders I’ve sipped,”  our tester said, giving the flavor a 3 out of 5.  “The flavor tastes green — that’s the best way I can put it. I can get it down with just water but I’d definitely recommend mixing it with juice.”

When it comes to solubility, this product earned a 5 out of 5.  “There’s absolutely no clumping when I mix it in water and juice,”  our tester said.  “There’s also no unwanted texture and it didn’t settle at any point.”

The company does claim to be third-party tested but doesn’t actually provide any testing info, so we had to give it a 3 out of 5 in this category. However, we did give the customer service a 5 out of 5 because we love the 100 percent lifetime satisfaction guarantee.

Nested Naturals Super Greens earned a 4.5 out of 5 for price per serving. The package costs about $24.99 for 30 servings, which is about $0.83 per serving, making this one of our budget-friendly options.

Best Greens Powder  On the Go: Onnit Shroom Tech Greens

Each packet of Onnit Shroom Tech Greens contains one serving of vegetables. Each serving of vegetables includes 14 kale leaves, four spinach leaves, and one broccoli floret, as well as a mushroom blend.

• Available Flavors:  Unflavored
• Certifications :  USDA Organic
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  15 calories, 3g carbs
• Highlights:  Cordyceps, Reishi, Lion’s Mane
• Sweeteners Used: N/A
• Price:  $59.95
• Price Per Serving: $2
• The single-serving packets are great for travel and easy to throw in a gym bag.
• These greens are under two dollars per serving, which is relatively inexpensive.
• The mushrooms here support energy levels, brain health, and your immune system.
• Most of Onnit’s products are Informed Sport Certified, but this one is not. 
• The formula isn’t as robust with greens as some other powders. 
• This may taste too strongly of mushrooms if you’re not a fan.

Onnit sells Shroom Tech Greens in single-serving size packets, making them convenient for  maintaining proper nutrition while traveling . You can toss a packet in your gym bag or keep a few in your car — all you need is a cup of water. 

This supplement combines high-quality whole-food sourced ingredients with an organic mushroom blend. However, these are all in proprietary blends, so you don’t actually know how much you’re getting for each ingredient. While mushrooms contain prebiotics, there are no added probiotics, which many other powders contain. All these factors considered, our product testers had to give this formula a 2 out of 5 total. 

“It tasted like real mushrooms, which I found to taste a little weird,”  our tester said, giving the flavor a 3 out of 5  “Someone who loves the taste of mushroom may enjoy it but it wasn’t for me. When I mixed it with juice, it was okay.”  However, Onnit’s powder did earn a 5 out of 5 for solubility, as it dissolved completely and easily with no gritty texture.

Luckily, our tester didn’t have any issues after sipping this supplement.  “I didn’t notice any side effects — my stomach felt fine,”  he says, giving the product a 4 out of 5 for side effects.  “However, I couldn’t actually drink more than one serving because I didn’t enjoy the taste.” 

This supplement isn’t the cheapest, but it’s also not the priciest. The product costs $59.95 for 30 single-serving packets, which is about $2 per serving, earning a 3 out of 5 for overall price.

Best Tasting Greens Powder: Live It Up Super Greens

Live It Up Supergreens pack more than 100 percent of plenty vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin B1, and vitamin B12, to name a few. It also has a refreshing minty flavor.

• Available Flavors:  Original, Wild Berries
• Certifications:  Third-party tested
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  31 calories, 4.8g carbs, 2g protein
• Highlights:  Superfoods, probiotics, digestive enzymes
• Sweeteners Used:  Monk fruit extract
• Price:  $59.99
• Price Per Serving:  $1.99
• Our testers tried the Original and were big fans of the flavor.
• This formula has probiotics and digestive enzymes.
• Live It Up! is made with organic vegetables and no sugars.
• There are cheaper picks on this list.
• This product doesn’t have the best solubility.

Let’s be totally honest: Greens powders taste, well, very green. For most greens powder supplements, getting past the earthy flavor is a challenge. But that wasn’t our experience with the Live It Up greens powder. After sipping this product for six months, our tester gave the overall flavor a 4.5 out of 5.

“The Original flavor is kind of like mint,”  our tester said.  “I’d say it definitely tastes as described. At first, I thought the flavor was a little overwhelming but after drinking it more, I actually really enjoyed it.”

Overall, we liked the formula here, too. Live it Up’s formula has more than 20 natural superfoods, including chlorella and spirulina. You also get more than 50 percent of your daily recommended value of vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B9, and vitamin B12, among others. However, we don’t love that the brand uses proprietary blends.

“Live It Up Greens scores a 2.75 out of 5 in the formulation category,”  according to Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, RDN.  “It contains a small amount of plant-based protein, whereas many other greens powders do not. However, its nutrient content leaves you wanting more based on the cost per serving and many ingredients are part of proprietary blends.”

We also had a little bit of issues with solubility, giving this category a 3 out of 5. According to our testers, the product leaves some powder at the bottom of the cup no matter how much shaking they did. A blender may solve this issue but we understand that not everyone has time to whip up a smoothie every time they want to sip this supplement.

At $1.99 per serving ($59.99 per bag), this is a pricier greens powder. However, you can subscribe to monthly deliveries for $39.99 ($1.33 per serving). Nevertheless, we know this product may not be within every athlete’s budget and we do have more cost-friendly options on this list.

Best Greens Powder  with  Spirulina : Legion Genesis Greens

This greens powder contains 5g of spirulina, 3g of reishi mushroom, 3g of astragalus membranaceus, 1.25g of dong quai root, and 1.5g of maca root extract. It comes in two flavors — Original and Acai Berry — which are both naturally sweetened and flavored.

• Available Flavors:  Acai Berry, Original
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  70 calories, 12g carbs, 4g protein
• Highlights:  Algae greens, mushrooms
• Price:  $41.99
• Price Per Serving: $1.40
• Prioritizing superfoods? You get five grams of organic spirulina per serving.
• This formula provides specific values of each ingredient, which some others don’t.
• There are no artificial sweeteners, added sugars, flavors, or food dyes in this supplement.
• Other powders have more whole-food sourced ingredients.

One dose of Legion Genesis provides five grams of organic  spirulina , a blue-green algae that’s rich in nutrients like iron and beta-carotene. ( 2 ) Spirulina is also rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation. Research has linked consistent spirulina intake with improved health parameters surrounding weight, blood pressure, and endothelial function. ( 12 )

Alongside the spirulina, this super greens powder includes maca root extract, dong quai root, and others, earning this powder a 4 out of 5 for formulation. These ingredients help support various functions, including immunity, blood sugar, and overall organ health. 

“We specifically like Legion because you can actually read through the benefits of each ingredient,”  says our product tester Kate Meier,  BarBend  editorial staff member and competitive weightlifter.  “The formula is lab tested and Legion provides research to prove its ingredients are in effective doses.”

This product comes in two flavors: Acai Berry and Original.  “I sipped the acai berry and actually thought the flavor was okay — it tasted like berries mixed with greens,”  Meier said, giving the flavor an overall 4 out of 5.  “I finished the whole scoop and actually enjoyed it.”

It actually blended beautifully, too, earning a 4.5 out of 5 for solubility. We had to ding the product a little, though, because Meier had to stir for a while before the product fully dissolved. 

We gave this product a 4 out 5 for price, though. The 30-serving container costs $41.99, which is about $1.40 per serving. There are definitely cheaper options for those shopping on a budget. We also did like that Legion offers pretty hassle-free returns, in case you’re not satisfied with the product.

This greens supplement costs only about $0.75 per serving, making it one of the most cost-friendly greens powders on the market. However, it's also loaded with digestive enzymes, probiotics, and essential nutrients.

• Available Flavors:  Sour Apple, Lemon Lime
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  N/A
• Highlights:  Digestive enzymes, probiotics, essential micronutrients
• Sweeteners Used: Sucralose
• Price:  $29.99
• Price Per Serving: $0.83
• At only $0.83 per serving, this is our most cost-friendly greens powder.
• This powder mixes whole-food sourced ingredients and probiotics.
• The supplement dissolves well and easily in water.
• This product doesn’t list any micronutrient values.
• It does have sucralose in the formula, which can cause GI issues for some athletes.

Not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on supplements a month. The good news is, you don’t have to! Earning a 5 out of 5 for price per serving, Jacked Factory’s Greens Surge is a budget-friendly option that only costs about $0.83 cents per serving ($24.99 for 30 servings). 

The formula combines whole-food sourced ingredients with a probiotic blend for digestive health. However, our testers had to give this formula a 3 out of 5 because you don’t actually get specific micronutrient values. 

Unique to Jacked Factory’s product, this comes in multiple flavors, including Mixed Berry, Unflavored, Mint Chocolate, Sour Apple, and Lemon Lime.  “I sipped on the mixed berry and I really enjoyed it,”  says our product tester, giving the flavor a 4.5 out of 5.  “It still tastes a little bit grassy but the added berry flavor makes it more appetizing.” 

Although our tester didn’t notice any unwanted side effects,  “it does contain sucralose as a sweetener,”  she says, giving a 4 out of 5 for side effects.  “Sucralose can cause unwanted digestive issues for some athletes, so if you have trouble with artificial sweeteners, this may not be the best product.”

This product ships across the world and has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if the product doesn’t meet expectations, you can return it. However, given the large number of five-star reviews on the company website, there’s a good chance you will, too.

Best Greens Powder  for  Bloating : 1st Phorm Opti-Greens 50

Opti-Greens 50 contains digestive enzymes and probiotics to help combat any unwanted bloating. Plus, you can buy this product in single-serving packets for easier on-the-go supplementation.

• Available Flavors:  Natural Berry 
• Certifications :  Informed Choice Tested, 100 percent non-gmo
• Highlights:  Probiotics, organic grasses, digestive enzymes
• Price:  $69.99
• Price Per Serving: $2.33
• This formula combines digestive enzymes and probiotics to help keep bloating at bay.
• You can buy Opti-Greens 50 in a package or single-serving packets for convenience.
• You can subscribe to monthly deliveries and save $10.
• The formula is a blend, so you don’t actually know how much you’re getting from each ingredient.
• At $2.17 per serving, this is one of the pricier greens powders. 

This formula combines digestive enzymes and probiotics, including amylase, protease, peptidase, lipase, and more, to keep you bloat-free. Plus, this only has one gram of fiber, which is ideal if you’re concerned about bloating, as high-fiber diets can sometimes cause extra bloat. ( 5 )

This formula contains some whole-food sourced ingredients, like barley grass, spirulina, wheatgrass, kale, spinach, and more. But our tester gave the formulation a 2 out of 5 because you can’t actually tell how much of each ingredient you get per dose.

This only comes in the Natural Berry Flavor but we were pleasantly surprised.  “I actually enjoyed how this tasted,”  our tester said, giving the flavor a 4 out of 5.  “Unlike some others, it’s actually not very grassy at all, which is unique.”  They also had zero issues with solubility, as it dissolved easily in water with no clumping.

Our tester had no side-effects with this supplement, giving it a 5 out of 5 in that category.  “I didn’t experience any side effects at all,”  our tester said.  “Also it seems customers really enjoy this product for bloating issues.” 

We gave this product a 3 out of 5 for price, as it sits in the middle of the road — it’s not too pricey but there are cheaper alternatives. One bag costs $70 for 30 servings, which is about $2.33 per serving. 

Best Greens Powder  with Protein: Kylea Total Living Drink Greens

These greens contain 12 grams of protein and the nutritional equivalent of 7 to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables, along with 2,000mg of spirulina, probiotics, and a B-complex.

• Available Flavors:  Green Tea and Blueberry
• Nutrition Per Scoop:  120 calories, 2.5g fat, 10g carbs, 11g protein
• Highlights:  Diverse enzyme blend, Glutamine, Taurine, Antioxidant blend
• Sweeteners Used: Blueberry flavor
• Price:  $99.00
• Price Per Serving: $3.30
• Kylea includes 11 grams of protein in addition to greens.
• The reworked formula added 2,000mg of spirulina to help provide calcium and omega 3’s while fighting inflammation. ( 9 )
• It has probiotics to help with digestion.
• This greens powder is expensive, even among upscale greens powders. 
• If you don’t need extra protein in your diet, this might be unnecessary.

Many people opt to throw their green juice or greens powders into a  protein shake . Kylea does the work for you, combining your greens and protein supplement into one powder with the Total Living Drink Greens.

This whole foods blend combines 11 grams of protein and the nutritional equivalent of 7-10 servings of fruit and vegetables. You also get plenty of nutrient-dense grasses, like alfalfa and barley grass. 

Oftentimes, diets rich in plant-based foods are protein deficient. ( 11 ) Even though the protein blend is plant-based (it’s completely dairy-free), Kylea uses complementing proteins for a complete amino acid profile, so we gave the formula a 5 out of 5. We also like that Kylea also includes a digestive enzyme blend and probiotics to promote good digestion. Plus, it comes in a convenient ziplock bag that you can easily transport and store to keep the powder fresh.

Like Athletic Greens, this is one of the more expensive greens powders on this list at about $3.33 per serving, earning a 3 out of 5 in this category. But many happy customers say it’s totally worth the higher price point. 

Unfortunately, the protein is lower than that of most of the  best protein powders . So, it may not be able to totally replace your whey. With that said, it’s significantly more than you’ll find in most greens powders.

While this greens powder is more expensive than some others on the market, this protein and greens blend can be a great investment if you’re sick of using separate protein and greens supplements. Another bonus: It’s available on Amazon Prime so you can get it delivered pretty quickly.

Potential Benefits of Greens Powders

When greens supplements burst onto the scene, they were marketed as the evolution of multivitamins. They’re not  just  sources of vitamins and minerals, however. Greens powders often contain antioxidants, probiotic bacteria, digestive enzymes, and naturally-derived compounds that are linked to everything from better-functioning livers to improved mental clarity. Keep reading to learn all the health benefits of greens powders.

They’re Whole-Food Based

The biggest selling point is that the main benefits come from naturally-occurring foods, much like a  fruit and vegetable supplement .  Usually , there are no isolated vitamins injected into the supplement — the nutrition comes entirely from whole foods.

“I love whole food sources as a means to get our nutrition and vitamins and minerals, so I like that a lot of the greens powders are derived from whole fruits, vegetables, and grasses,”  says Masi.  “I really encourage everyone to pick one meal a day that’s non-negotiable to get vegetables in. That’s a great place to start consuming more. Then, to add more antioxidants and polyphenols you could have a greens powder. It’s so important to remember that while powders can be great insurance, it shouldn’t take the place of trying to increase your veggie consumption.”

Compared to multivitamins, greens powders aim to harvest the benefits of whole food ingredients that can sometimes be excluded from a daily multi. 

They Provide Additional Nutrients

Plants are a source of fiber, chlorophyll, and phytonutrients like indole-3-carbinol (which may help with estrogen balance), isothiocyanates (which may decrease inflammation), and glucosinolates (which may lower the  risk of heart disease ). 

Diets rich in plant-based foods have been associated with improved health markers, such as a lower risk of heart disease, improved insulin sensitivity, weight management support, and a reduced risk of certain cancers. ( 7 )

These ingredients sometimes result in a tremendous amount of nutrition that vastly exceeds what’s offered in a multivitamin. Some greens powders can substitute for antioxidant supplements, digestive health supplements, adaptogen supplements, and natural herb supplements like Rhodiola Rosea or milk thistle.

When it comes to gut health, Masi suggests using a greens powder  or  a stand-alone probiotic. Otherwise, you risk digestive trouble. She also adds that greens powders or probiotics shouldn’t be considered a fix for gastrointestinal disturbances, and to always seek out a doctor if you have intense GI issues.

When Should I Take Greens Powders?

You can generally take a greens powder whenever it’s right for you — you’ll get the health benefits regardless. However, some companies recommend you take their product in the morning on an empty stomach.

As with any vitamin, greens powders can show the best results if you take them regularly — so no matter when you choose to take your greens throughout the day, ensure it’s a time you can maintain consistently.

How Much Do Greens Powders Cost?

Like many other supplements, greens powders fall into a wide range of prices. On the lower end, you’ll find powders that cost just 20 cents per serving. On the higher end of the range, you may find greens powders that cost more than $3 per serving. On average, however, you can expect to pay $1.84 per serving and will find this list has plenty of options right around that range. 

The most basic greens — and generally less expensive powders — are typically a blend of vegetables without any added vitamins, minerals, or extra supplementation. The more expensive powders typically contain added vitamins and minerals (like a B-complex), and additional supplementation (like protein and/or probiotics), and they tend to include more ingredients to make them taste better.

Overall, for pricing, be sure to consider the price per serving, rather than the price of the tub or bag itself, to evaluate how much you are getting for your money.

Common Ingredients In Greens Powders

Greens powders often contain nearly 75 different vitamins and minerals per serving. However, each brand takes a different approach to their formulation. While you’ll see a lot of different ingredients across the market, there are some big hitters you’ll see in many of the top greens powders.

1. Prebiotics and Probiotics

Prebiotic fiber and probiotics make for the golden combo when it comes to gut health. You’ll find prebiotic fiber in foods like legumes, beans, berries, and asparagus. Prebiotics are the fuel for probiotics, which are the good bacteria that line your gut. Greens powders often contain one or both of these ingredients to potentially help with digestion and gut health. ( 8 )

2. Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae that may provide antioxidant properties. It contains a high amount of vitamin B12, and it may also be helpful in balancing the gut microbiome, and boosting immunity. ( 9 )

3. Digestive Enzymes

Your body naturally produces digestive enzymes, which are proteins that can help you break down the food you eat. However, many greens powders contain an additional dose of these proteins to potentially help optimize gut health. ( 10 )

4. Vegetables and Fruits

Most greens powders are made of powdered versions of — you guessed it — greens, like spinach, kale, chlorella, broccoli, and wheatgrass. Some even contain fruits like pineapple, to provide bromelain, and apple. Though the powdered versions of these vegetables and fruits still contain plenty of nutrients, some of their nutritional benefits are lost in powder processing.

So, though nothing beats eating these foods fresh, greens powders can be helpful in adding nutrients on top of your daily salads, or in instances when you’re traveling and it’s hard to follow the same healthy diet you do when you’re home.

What to Consider Before Buying a Greens Powder

Before you click “order” on your new greens powder, consider these three points.

1. Greens Powders Don’t Replace Vegetables

One tip from our RDN: Don’t let it replace your veggie consumption with a greens powder. After all, supplements are supposed to add onto what you’re already doing, not replace good, whole food nutrition. Greens powders can be good for you but they’re not a replacement for whole foods.

“Even if the label says equal to 4 servings of vegetables, I wouldn’t accept that as someone’s daily vegetable consumption,”  she explains.  “I’m still going to encourage real food sources due to the bioavailability (how much gets absorbed) and fiber content.”

2. Know Why You’re Buying

As you can see, greens powders can have many different focuses: antioxidants, digestive health, and adaptogens, to name a few. Do some research and know the strengths and weaknesses of your product before you commit.

3. Consult With Your Doctor

Always speak with your physician before undertaking a new supplement regimen.

Different Ways to Take Greens Powders

Don’t think you have to just mix greens powders into a glass of water and slam it (though you can). Here are a handful of creative ways to get in your greens (powder).

• Mix them into your shake: If you’re the type of person who prefers a more elaborate protein or meal replacement shake , then you may want to consider tossing a greens powder into the mix. 
• Bake a frittata:  A frittata — a dish of eggs (and/or egg white), veggies, proteins, and cheese that’s baked in the oven — is a convenient grab-and-go meal, packed with  protein for muscle gain . With all of those flavors intermingling, you probably won’t even notice two scoops of your greens powder thrown in for a nutrient boost.
• Make a pesto:  The same logic applies to the above two suggestions. The next time you whip up a pesto, a sauce that’s already green and earthy, try adding a scoop of greens powder to give it an even more earthy flavor and color. 
• Bake brownies: Why not add some nutrients to a delicious dessert? Brownies have a strong chocolate flavor that can mask the greens. Also, you can try making protein brownies or protein bars , where you can add whey protein powder to a brownie recipe for more protein.

Of all of the health and wellness supplements on the market, green superfood powders are among the newest — and they’re also among the toughest to scrutinize. We get it: Many of them make outlandish claims and barely try to support them with information on their nutrition label. But while you can’t “out-supplement” a poor diet, many of the best greens powders may well confer benefits to some areas of your health. After digging through a lot of muck, we’ve uncovered some truly excellent greens supplements. We think you’ll be as impressed with them as we were.

What is a greens superfood powder?

A green superfood powder, also just called a greens powder, usually refers to a supplement that contains a base of antioxidant-rich algae or grasses, typically wheatgrass, barley grass, spirulina, and/or chlorella.

Usually a greens powder will also contain ingredients for digestive health (like probiotic bacteria), adaptogens (plants that can help improve stress levels), and/or added vitamins and minerals.

Are greens powders worth it?

Greens powders are worth it because they provide helpful vitamins and minerals and usually contain high levels of phytonutrients. They’re also usually high in fiber, contain antioxidants, and provide other green superfoods. They might be expensive sometimes or not taste the best, but the potential benefits are worth it.

Do greens powders help with bloating?

Greens powders may help with bloating in certain circumstances. Since dietary fiber is generally considered to help mitigate bloating, a greens powder that is high in fiber might do the trick.

How can I make greens powders taste better?

While we’ll admit many greens powders leave us wanting in the taste department, but some are quite pleasant and refreshing even. If you have trouble downing your greens powder, it can help to mix it with fruit juice or mask it in a smoothie or protein shake. Bold flavors like nut butters often help too.

Can I take greens powders every day?

Generally, yes, you can take them every day. Some people choose to only take them every other day to help stretch their dollar further while some folks like taking them only when they feel like they didn’t eat a lot of nutritious food that day. However you prefer to take your greens powder is up to you.

What is the best greens powder?

There are several greens powders on the market that may be effective, but our favorite is Athletic Greens AG1. The extensive ingredient list includes antioxidants, adaptogens, probiotics, minerals, vitamins, and a host of superfoods. It’s a little higher in price, but the Pineapple Vanilla flavoring puts this product a step above the rest due to its drinkability.

How much do greens powders cost?

Greens powders can vary in price, and this list alone sees a range between around $0.65 cents to upwards of $3.30 per serving. It’s fair to say there should be a greens powder on our list that will fit within your budget, but you’ll want to consider your individual nutritional needs when making your choice.

Who would benefit from greens powder?

Just about anyone can enjoy the benefits of a greens powder. Greens supplements are a great way to get additional vitamins, nutrients, and probiotics, alongside your daily diet. However, if you have any pre-existing dietary concerns or health issues, you may want to double check with your doctor or dietitian before trying a new supplement.

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.

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

Ag1 athletic greens.

Athletic Greens

NSF Certified for Sport

High in many vitamins and minerals

Free of common food allergens

Easy to dissolve in water and smooth texture and great taste

Some ingredients could interact with medications

Exact amounts of ingredients are not listed in proprietary blends

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.

Ratings and reviews

Location and contact.

Burgers are yummy but small. They aren't a dish for dinner here. Fries is an option at extra charge. Beer is also served in small glasses of 400 ml.

What’s an awesome place. I can’t wait to get back here when I’m in Moscow again. Food, selection of beer and service is awesome. Worth the check out.

A nice place for young people, students an so on. I‘ve got a consultation about draft beer in english. I can‘t remember the name but i had a delicious strong russian beer. My son ordered a burger and a cola. The burger was small but... ok. The Club Mate Cola had room temperature. Not ok. Music was loud, we liked it. English kind punk music it was. More
