Brands like Beam Greens<\/a>, Bloom Nutrition<\/a>, AG1<\/a> and Factor Form<\/a> are everywhere, transcending TikTok and being featured in your favorite podcast ads and local news stations as the \u201cit\u201d drink mixes to try.<\/p>\n However, the idea of drinking your greens has been around for a while, especially with the abundance of juice cleanses<\/a> and multivitamins<\/a> available. Since getting in your daily dose of nutrients has always been a struggle for some, it\u2019s no wonder these methods have been so popular.<\/p>\n Over the last few years, we\u2019ve tested our share of the supplement (check our vid below from 2023), so we know a thing or two about which ones are best. However, we wanted to check in with the experts to see what they had to say.<\/p>\n We interviewed <\/a>registered dietician Jennifer Maeng<\/a> about everything we could think of when it comes to greens, including the health benefits and risks, With her experience as a dietician, author of two nutrition books, and the founder of her own private practice<\/a> specializing in gut health, who better to ask? <\/p>\n We also reached out to holistic nutritionist\u00a0and social media influencer Steph\u00a0Robinson<\/a> for all her recommendations on the best greens brands.<\/p>\n Keep scrolling to our reviews and expert picks or hop to our FAQ.<\/a><\/p>\n Best Green Powders<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tpost wanted pick\t\t<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Resealable bag and canister for storage<\/p>\n Pretty mild and has good taste: sweet, fruity and easy to drink<\/p>\n Ingredients include daily value percentages and more in-depth information<\/p>\n The formula combines a multivitamin, pre- and probiotics, superfoods, and antioxidants into one scoop<\/p>\n Available in four flavors: Original, Berry, Tropical, Citrus<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n All ingredients are listed on the label; however, AG1 uses some proprietary blends where the exact amounts are not disclosed\u00a0<\/p>\n The brand recommends refrigerating after opening due to active pre- and probiotics.<\/p>\n AG1 is all over social media and a favorite pick among our editors. The new-and-improved next-generation formula comes in three refreshing flavors with added probiotics and macronutrients designed to support whole body wellness and readiness. Simply add a level scoop to your drink first thing in the morning. Shoppers can save 20% when they subscribe, and score a free welcome kit as well as three travel packs to take on the go.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most nutrient-dense,\u201d Robinson said of this green powder. \u201cAG1 is the all-in-one blend of 75 vitamins, minerals, and food-derived nutrients. It also contains probiotics to help support your gut, adaptogens to help with energy and stress levels, and digestive enzymes to support daily digestion. The benefits of this green powder are endless. Some benefits include gut health, immunity support, boosting energy, and helping with recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cThey are also NSF certified, meaning they use third-party testing and are free of heavy metals, additives, and other contaminants to ensure you\u2019re consuming the highest quality ingredients. My personal pick is AG1 due to covering all bases, being the most all-in-one solution that uses the highest quality ingredients and most intricate, thorough testing.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New York Post Review: After hearing all the online chatter about this $79 dark green drink, I decided it was time to give it a go. Not just the original AG1, but the next-gen formula, which combines a multivitamin, pre- and probiotics, superfoods, and antioxidants into one scoop. The instructions suggest mixing one level scoop into 8 to 10 ounces of water on an empty stomach, and I did as follows. Off the bat, I was beyond impressed with the texture. I barely needed to whisk it to achieve the smooth, velvety consistency that you want in a greens powder. The new citrus, tropical, and berry flavors are much more tolerable than the original AG1 (in my opinion, at least). I found them to be sweeter, more balanced, and less bitter. Plop in a few pieces of ice and you have a pretty tasty drink. The labelling is also impressive; supplement facts appear on the back, and it\u2019s easy to discern what type of nutrients you\u2019re getting (besides the few blends and complexes at the bottom). The only real flaw I\u2019ve found with AG1 is the fact that it needs to be refrigerated, and I\u2019m already lacking real estate in that department. However, I consider it a worthwhile sacrifice for a supplement that provides so many benefits.<\/p>\n Key Ingredients: Spirulina, Alkaline Pea Protein Isolate, Organic Apple Powder, Astragalus Root Powder Extract, More<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Gr\u00fcns gummies are regularly third-party tested with Eurofins<\/p>\n Includes 6 grams of prebiotic fiber to help with regularity and digestion<\/p>\n Packs are easy to take on the go and require no cleanup <\/p>\n Each pack offers 60 nutrient-dense ingredients, including vitamins and minerals<\/p>\n Available in low-sugar and sugar-free options<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n While many users like the fruity flavor profile, others mentioned a somewhat earthy aftertaste<\/p>\n If messy powders aren\u2019t your thing, Gr\u00fcns offer a compelling alternative: gummies. These better-for-you packets are formulated to fill all your health gaps. Each serving is packed with whole fruits, veggies, vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, adaptogens, and more essential nutrients. And, unlike powers, you can simply pop these gummies in your pocket and go. No cleanup necessary.<\/p>\n The data speaks for itself. A post-purchase survey revealed that 52% of Gr\u00fcns users felt more energized throughout the day, and over 67% reported their overall health and well-being had improved after just three months of taking Gr\u00fcns. Many reviewers have also claimed that these gummies help \u201csatisfy their sweet tooth\u201d and curb typical cravings.<\/p>\n Gr\u00fcns is also very careful with its testing process to ensure quality. Every batch is rigorously tested for all 21 vitamins and minerals to ensure label accuracy and to confirm that the gummies are free from heavy metals and other contaminants. They\u2019re also made without artificial colors or flavors, and they\u2019re non-GMO. If you\u2019re looking for all the benefits without any of the junk, these gummies are it.<\/p>\n New York Post Review:\u00a0Given the veggie- and vitamin-packed ingredient list and dark green color, I was a tad skeptical before trying Gr\u00fcns. As soon as I popped it in my mouth, I began to understand the hype. These gummies are slightly sweet with just a hint of earthiness, and they\u2019re so easy to chew that I almost forget they\u2019re healthy. I\u2019ve tested plenty of supplements, and usually, I can detect some kind of chemical aftertaste or smell; with these, I couldn\u2019t. They smell fresh, and you can actually taste real ingredients. As for packaging, Gr\u00fcns nailed convenience. Being able to toss a pack into my work bag saves me time and energy. Honestly, who wants to measure out their green powder and make a smoothie every single day?<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been taking Gr\u00fcns daily for a few weeks now, and they certainly have helped curb my cravings and keep me from reaching for a bag of chips or a typical sweet treat. On the digestion front, you should expect improved regularity. Just 6 grams of prebiotic fiber goes a long way with these gummies. It might still be too early to say, but I haven\u2019t felt myself bursting with energy yet (however, several reviewers have mentioned that these gummies can help with focus and cognition). All in all, I\u2019m quite impressed. If I can get 60-nutrient-dense ingredients in a single pack of gummies, I\u2019m sold.<\/p>\n Key Ingredients:\u00a0Organic greens and vegetables, Organic fruits, Organic shiitake mushrooms, Organic astragalus, Tapioca Fiber, Organic Inulin, Vitamins, Minerals<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Easy to use<\/p>\n Easy to drink over ice<\/p>\n Very aesthetically pleasing packaging<\/p>\n You can also get the electric mixer on the site<\/p>\n Highly viral on social media, should you want to join in<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n Maybe a bit over-hyped <\/p>\n Note the amount of each ingredient per serving, and the daily value percentage is not included<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t seen this all over social media \u2026 how?! <\/p>\n Bloom Nutrition was one of the first brands to take over TikTok and Instagram, with it-girls Alix Earle and Xandra Pohl amongst the most popular. If Earle is doing it, I wanted to try it too, so I ordered both the original flavor and the mango version<\/a> of their greens. <\/p>\n Robinson also seems to agree it\u2019s a top greens powder, especially for those working on their gut health. <\/p>\n \u201cThis greens powder contains 30 fruits and vegetables, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and adaptogens with a variety of flavors,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n \u201cThis is a low-calorie option only containing 15 calories, with 2 grams of dietary fiber and no added sugars. This greens contains three well-researched probiotic strains with one being fructo-oligosaccharides which have been researched to support and improve gut composition.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New York Post Review: Looking at the package, I liked that it was user-friendly, with instructions for how to mix on the label. Also, looking at the label, key ingredients include four different \u201cblends\u201d \u2014 fruit and veggie, antioxidant, digestive, and adaptogen. Included under each are powders like carrot, beetroot, kale, cranberry, tart cherry, and also stevia for some sweetness. During my initial taste test, I did indeed taste some of the stevia, mingling with the greens flavor. It did give off some grassy elements, but it wasn\u2019t unpleasant to drink and would be best over ice.<\/p>\n Key Ingredients: Organic Barley Grass Powder, Organic Spirulina Powder, Cranberry Fruit Powder, Kale Leaf Powder, Blueberry Powder, Licorice Root Extract, More<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Fresh, semi-sweet taste<\/p>\n Provides a daily serving of greens Blends well<\/p>\n Has two strains of probiotics<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n Contains ginseng, so may want to skip using it late in the day or evening<\/p>\n Factor Form\u2019s Daily Greens supplement is stocked with vitamins, minerals, and superfoods, with zero added sugar. About 88% of active customers have experienced improved gut health and digestion with the Daily Greens supplements, and 75% reported increased energy. Customers generally enjoy the refreshing citrus flavor and notes of crisp green apple, and our tester found that it mixed well into different drinks. <\/p>\n Click HERE<\/a> for 40% off orders over $65.<\/p>\n New York Post Review: I\u2019m always looking for ways to increase the amount of greens I eat, so I was excited to learn about Factor\u2019s Daily Green Powder. It wasn\u2019t just that it counted as a serving of veggies that intrigued me, either, but the fact that its ingredient list includes adaptogens, such as Ashwagandha and\u00a0functional mushrooms<\/a>. It has notes of green apple and citrus, so it can be mixed in regular water without worry of chugging something that tastes like grass. I liked it best mixed into a protein-infused smoothie. I was happy to learn it didn\u2019t mess with the texture of the shake, and the green apple elevated the overall taste to something brighter and fresher. I haven\u2019t stopped drinking coffee, but I definitely feel energized when I use it, and that\u2019s probably because of its B vitamins. \u2014 Holly J Coley<\/a>, Commerce Deputy Editor<\/p>\n Key Ingredients: Kale Leaf, Spirulina, Spinach, Chlorella, Chicory, Jerusalem Artichoke, Carrot Root, Lion\u2019s Mane, Reishi Mushroom, Aslan Ginseng<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Easy to use, with pre-portioned packs to pour into your water<\/p>\n Good labeling, with daily value percentages and ingredients <\/p>\n Herbal taste for those that prefer it to a sweeter blend \u2014 no artificial sweeteners <\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n Thicker and more chalky \u2014 best for a smoothie and not for plain water <\/p>\n We\u2019re back again, Sakara! After trying their meal kit,<\/a> we also wanted to try their greens, so here you go. <\/p>\n We tried their Proteins + Greens Super Powder<\/a>, which were easy to use since there is no need for a scooper. It\u2019s a great choice for on-the-go greens, and each pouch contains 12 grams of plant protein. Ingredients also include peas, hemp seed, pumpkin seed, sesame seed, spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, and chlorella. <\/p>\n According to Robinson, Sakara is \u201cThe best option for plant-powered greens and protein! With their motto being \u2018We believe in the power of plants and everything we do is rooted in honoring plants as medicine\u2019 with 12 grams of protein, alkalizing greens, and detoxifying algae to support lean muscle, satiation, and proper liver detoxification. This would make a great all-in-one plant protein-based solution. And it doesn\u2019t have that typical \u2018greens powder\u2019 taste.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New York Post Review: The consistency and look of Sakara was a bit milky and chalkier than expected, making a light matcha-colored drink despite not containing any milk or dairy and only being mixed with water. It was easy to use, but thicker to drink, so we think having this over ice or even blended into a smoothie may be the best, as suggested by the package too.<\/p>\n Key Ingredients: Organic Spirulina, Organic Wheatgrass, Organic Barley Grass, Organic Chlorella, Organic Pea Protein, Organic Hemp Protein, Organic Pumpkin Protein<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Contains iron (ideal for those with low iron levels)<\/p>\n Refreshing flavor and not overpowering<\/p>\n Easy to take on the go<\/p>\n Utilizes sodium copper chlorophyllin, which promotes detox at the cellular level<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n Doesn\u2019t mix as well into water or juice<\/p>\n The gel consistency is not a preference for everyone<\/p>\n Robinson is a strong advocate for rigorous testing protocols, and one of the few supplement brands to undergo strict, third-party testing for contaminants and toxins is Cymbiotika. <\/p>\n Cymbiotika\u2019s unique approach to supplements \u2014 combining scientific innovation with traditional Eastern medicine \u2014 helps deliver quality ingredients that fuel the body. Cymbiotika\u2019s Super Greens formula is made with many high-quality superfoods, and natural plant compounds including chlorophyll, glucoraphanin, broccoli seed, and other alkalizing greens. Not only that, but Cymbiotika Super Greens utilizes sodium copper chlorophyllin, which promotes detox at the cellular level.<\/p>\n Cymbiotika is also distinctive from some of the others on this list due to its unique jelly-like form, which comes pre-packaged for easy access while on the go. The formula can be slurped or mixed into the water. We found this form to be super useful for people who travel often or don\u2019t want to make the mess of mixing powders in the kitchen.<\/p>\n New York Post Review: I hate pills and have never loved chalky powders, so I was particularly excited to try Cymbiotika Super Greens. In fact, it\u2019s not a powder at all. The greens pouch can be squeezed directly into your mouth for no mess and no fuss. It\u2019s super handy when you\u2019re on the way to work, running errands, or heading to the gym. I\u2019ve tried some nasty supplements in my life, but I was impressed with the Citrus Lime flavor. It\u2019s refreshing, not too strong, and it tastes clean.<\/p>\n In terms of long-term effects, I\u2019ve noticed more consistent energy throughout the day when I take my Cymbiotika Super Greens. Sure, it doesn\u2019t feel like the rush you get from a shot of espresso, but I do feel more alert and enthusiastic about my daily tasks in general. I also love the fact that it offers iron. As one of the low-iron girlies, it\u2019s a super easy, low-maintenance way to ensure I\u2019m getting what I need.<\/p>\n Key Ingredients: Chlorophyll, Glucoraphanin, Organic Alfalfa Powder, Organic Oat Grass, Organic Spinach Powder, Organic Spirulina, Organic Kale, Broccoli Seed Powder Extract<\/p>\n How We Tested<\/p>\n While reviewing the best greens powders, we evaluated each supplement on four main criteria \u2014 nutritional value, benefits, taste, and overall quality.<\/p>\n Nutritional Value: We analyzed the different ingredients to look for a variety of diverse, yet balanced superfoods \u2014 including vegetables, fruits, spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, as well as other added benefits like probiotics, prebiotics, and adaptogens. We checked for key micronutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin K, iron, and magnesium, and also considered whether there were any filler or sweeteners used in the products.<\/p>\n Benefits: In order to provide a realistic guide for those interested in greens powders, we made note of any short-term and long-term side-effects we noticed while taking these formulas \u2014 whether that was improved skin, energy boosts, better digestion or overall improvement in mood.<\/p>\n Taste: Everyone has a unique preference when it comes to taste, but we evaluated how sweet, earthy, bitter, or strong each formula was and made note of any standout flavors. To evaluate the ease of preparation, we tried mixing these powders into water, juices, and smoothies. We made note of how easily the powder dissolved in liquid, or if any clumps formed.<\/p>\n Overall Quality: Per expert recommendations, we looked for green powders that were rigorously tested and third-party tested. We browsed reviews to gauge the overall experience had with each powder, and whether there were any quality or packaging issues. Consideration was given to the price and value of each product.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t Best Greens Powders FAQ<\/p>\n What is a green powder and what are its benefits?<\/p>\n So yes, it\u2019s green and in a powder form, but what really is inside of the bottles and jars we\u2019ve seen all over social media?<\/p>\n If you choose a high-quality brand, the answer should be a serving of leafy greens like kale or spinach, plus other vitamins and minerals that typically come from veggies and fruits. They are then pulverized into powder form and made to be easily dissolved in water for an on-the-go green drink. <\/p>\n \u201cGreen powders are having their moment again because of how user-friendly they are,\u201d said Maeng. \u201cThese green powders usually give the consumer some of the vitamins and minerals that they may not be consuming in their diet. We know that consuming adequate amounts of greens and fruit are associated with a healthier life and reduced morbidity. These powders make it easy to add what an individual may need. They are easy to make and a quick solution for someone who may have a busy schedule.\u201d <\/p>\n So why should you trade in your energy drinks for a tall glass of green? Maeng says that while first and foremost, you should be eating right and maybe even adding a high-quality multivitamin to your diet, adding a quality green drink can work, too, if you tend to skip the multi. <\/p>\n \u201c[Greens powders] can be considered like an \u2018insurance policy\u2019 and help us meet Lastly, a pretty straightforward benefit of these powders can be support for picky eaters who wouldn\u2019t be getting enough fruits and veggies the old fashioned way.<\/p>\n What ingredients should I look for in my greens?<\/p>\n Green ones? Well, actually yes! When looking at the ingredients on a greens powder, they can vary, but many include dark, leafy greens that are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. However, they can also include a plethora of other goodies that you can keep an eye out for when reading the nutrition facts.<\/p>\n \u201cSome green powders may include carrots, blueberries, pomegranate, and even goji berries, all which contain their own powerful phytochemicals,\u201d said Maeng. \u201cPhytochemicals are what give a plant its color and studies associate them with improved health. These blends with additional fruits and vegetables help reduce the incidence of diseases like cardiovascular disease and cancer. If you can, try to buy an organic green powder to avoid any synthetic pesticides or irradiation.\u201d <\/p>\n She also mentions matcha and probiotics as other things to look for in your greens. Matcha, while delicious on its own, is a great anti-inflammatory and also provides caffeine without the crash. As for probiotics, those can never hurt, as they make for a happy gut.<\/p>\n What are some warnings to note when drinking green powders?<\/p>\n All that\u2019s green isn\u2019t gold \u2014 that\u2019s how it goes, right?<\/p>\n Kidding aside, when adding a new element to your diet, it\u2019s smart to know what to avoid and how to incorporate it safely. Maeng notes that while greens powders can be great, don\u2019t forget to continue trying to add fresh or frozen fruits and veggies into your diet, too. <\/p>\n \u201cI would still recommend adding frozen or fresh seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables in tandem to get the full nutritional benefits of greens. They contain more fiber than the powdered version and can help with satiety in a more effective way,\u201d added Maeng. <\/p>\n Back to the powders, one thing to avoid? <\/p>\n \u201cArtificial sweeteners!\u201d said Maeng. \u201cAs mentioned before, your gut microbiome can benefit from drinking green powders, especially when a probiotic is added. There are studies showing how artificial sweeteners can disrupt healthy bacteria living in our stomach. An unhealthy gut microbiome can lead to poor glucose control, weight gain, metabolic syndrome, sleep issues, and an impaired immune system. Artificial sweeteners may be working against the benefits a green powder may offer.\u201d<\/p>\n For over 200 years, the New York Post has been America\u2019s go-to source for bold news, engaging stories, in-depth reporting, and now, insightful shopping guidance<\/a>.

nutrients we may be lacking in our diet. Most Americans don\u2019t consume the recommended amount of greens and that can leave us susceptible to deficiencies. Green powders contain nutrients such as zinc, vitamins A, C, E, and antioxidants such as beta carotene and lutein that can boost our immune system,\u201d explained Maeng. <\/p>\n
