I'm a mom and registered dietitian for 14 years, with a passion for nutrition and healthy lifestyles. I've been on a journey to find the best greens powder out there.
The healthiest and best tasting greens powder of 2025
In a perfect world, we'd all be getting the fresh and clean fruits and vegetables our body needs to function well and live a healthier life. However, for some — like me! — life gets crazy and this becomes mission impossible; for others — like my sons! — let's just say green is not their preferred color when it comes to picking their food.
Green powders created from highly-nutritious superfoods are not meant to substitute anything, but to provide us with a safety net that helps us stay on track and supplement our diet. They contain crucial nutrients that help us bridge the gaps in our nutrition between what we should be taking daily and what we actually are.

Testing Method
I selected 13 reputable greens powder brands and sampled a different one each morning.
I followed these daily steps:
- Each day, I prepared and tested a different greens powder. I prepared them myself to measure how easy it was to make them.
- I poured one serving into a glass to see what the product looked like immediately and then after a few minutes. I wanted it to be consistent.
- I tried the products in the morning with my kids, took extensive notes and used the scorecard above (with my rating system) to rate the different products.
- I measured my level of energy and how I felt by the end of each day.
- I researched all of the ingredients in these products, their certifications, health benefits — so you don't have to!
- I scored them on different factors (see below), calculated the final scores and ranked the different powders accordingly.
The factors that mattered to me for a greens powder
- Ingredients
- Health benefits
- Taste
- Smell
- Texture
- Easy to make
- Price
Non-negotiable: my greens must have the best ingredients from the best sources. Organic is always better as it guarantees non-GMO, no preservatives, pesticides, or any other hidden bad-for-you elements. I think about my health in a preventive (vs reactive) way. I don't wait until I have a health issue, but get ahead to make sure my body is getting what it needs.
Since the best greens powder is the one you'll actually take every day, if it doesn't taste good, the likelihood of that happening is small. At least I knew I wouldn't have a shot with my kids. Taste is a crucial factor. I'm glad to report that my top pick from a nutrition standpoint was also my kids' favorite flavor!
I also wanted to ensure the powder was easy to make and compared prices in the most effective way possible (per serving). Not all powders have 30 servings.
Below are the nitty-gritty conclusions I made during my experiment. I’ll give more information on the greens powder I ended up choosing and why. Dive in and feel free to leave any comments of your own if you’ve tried any of these brands!

Top 3 Digestive & Health Benefits
- Probiotic Blend (5 billion CFU, 4 strains) helps balance the gut microbiome, aid digestion and nutrient absorption, reduce bloating, and support healthy bowel movements.
- Fiber Blend with Prebiotics (3g per serving) feeds beneficial gut bacteria and promotes regularity without causing cramping or discomfort.
- Digestive Enzymes help break down food efficiently, reducing gas and supporting smooth digestion from start to finish.
Favorite Feature
The comprehensive digestive support. As someone who values gut health above all else, having probiotics, prebiotics, fiber, AND digestive enzymes in one formula is exceptional. Most greens focus on micronutrients alone, but Live it Up recognizes that a healthy gut is the foundation of overall wellness. Since starting this product, I noticed improved regularity, less bloating after meals, and more comfortable digestion throughout the day.
Digestive Support: 10/10
The combination of 5 billion CFU probiotics, 3g fiber, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes makes this a powerhouse for gut health.
Taste: 10/10
The minty taste is very refreshing and easy to drink daily—no "chugging" required.
Texture: 10/10
No grittiness. Mixes very well and quickly.
Smell: 8/10
Better than greens powder usually smells. The minty scent really helps.
Price for Value: 10/10
With a monthly subscription, Live it Up is one of the most affordable greens powders on the market, coming in at $1.33/serving.
Runner Up: AG1 Next Gen
Subtle pineapple-vanilla sweetness with grassy finish.
Pros
- Formula includes superfoods and adaptogens
- Non-GMO ingredients
- Digestive enzymes, probiotics (10 billion CFU, 5 strains), and prebiotics
- Free of gluten and dairy
- Four flavors
- NSF-Certified for sport
Cons
- Contains soy, stevia, caffeine, and silica
- Synthetic nutrients
- Some vitamins and minerals exceed daily recommended values
- Only a handful of organic ingredients
- Pricey
Top 3 Digestive & Health Benefits
- Probiotics (10 billion CFU, 5 strains) support gut health by promoting a balanced microbiome and regular bowel movements.
- Prebiotics and Digestive Enzymes work together to optimize digestion and minimize bloating.
- Functional Mushrooms like reishi, chaga, and cordyceps support immune function and reduce inflammation.
Favorite Feature
The high-dose probiotic content. With 10 billion CFU and 5 strains, AG1 delivers serious gut support. During testing, I noticed consistently comfortable digestion and predictable morning routines—a clear sign of a well-functioning digestive system.
Biggest Miss
Cost. Although the digestive formula is robust, at nearly twice the price of competitors like Live it Up, it may not be sustainable long-term for many consumers.
Digestive Support: 9/10
Strong probiotic content, though it has only one digestive enzyme compared to Live it Up's broader enzyme blend.
Taste: 7/10
Mild and tolerable
Texture: 7/10
No thickness issues, but settles at the bottom if you don't drink quickly.
Smell: 10/10
Mild and not off-putting.
Price for Value: 3/10
At $2.63/serving with a monthly subscription, it's the most expensive option tested.
Grüns Gummies
Fruity, candy-like chewables; zero greens taste.
Pros
- Includes fruits, vegetables, algae, adaptogens, and mushrooms
- Organic ingredients
- High in fiber
- Convenient to consume on the go
- Tastes good
- Free of gluten and dairy
Cons
- High sugar content
- Unreliable nutrient content
- No probiotics or digestive enzymes
- Synthetic ingredients
- Contains fillers (pectin)
- Pricey
Top 3 Digestive & Health Benefits
- Spirulina supports immune function and may reduce inflammation.
- Chlorella provides immune support and cellular health.
- Shiitake mushrooms may support immune function.
Favorite Feature
The gummy delivery is innovative and convenient for those who struggle with powder drinks.
Biggest Miss
No digestive support ingredients. Without probiotics, prebiotics, or digestive enzymes, these gummies won't provide the gut health benefits most people seek from greens supplements. The high fiber content from pectin can help with regularity, but it's not the same as a comprehensive digestive formula. During testing, I didn't notice improved digestive comfort or consistency compared to probiotic-rich formulas.
Digestive Support: 3/10
Fiber only, without the probiotics or enzymes needed for comprehensive gut health.
Taste: 6/10
Middle of the pack.
Texture: 9/10
Like other vitamin gummies but sticks to teeth.
Smell: 9/10
No poor or strong smell.
Price for Value: 6/10
At $1.71/serving, it's more expensive than better-formulated powders.
Huel Daily Greens
Creamy, vegetal, banana-like—divisive.
Pros
- Diverse blend of greens, fruits, adaptogens, and mushrooms
- No artificial sweeteners or flavors
- Free of gluten
- Plant-based, non-GMO ingredients
- Three flavors
- Affordable
Cons
- Contains caffeine
- Includes fillers (silicon dioxide, guar gum, and tapioca starch)
- Some vitamins exceed daily recommendations
- No digestive enzymes
Top 3 Digestive & Health Benefits
- Spirulina supports immune function and may help reduce inflammation.
- Blueberry fruit contains anthocyanins for cognitive health.
- Lion's mane mushroom may support brain health and cognitive function.
Favorite Feature
The superfruit blend is fantastic for overall health.
Biggest Miss
Minimal probiotics and no digestive enzymes. While Huel includes some gut-supportive ingredients, its probiotic content is minimal or absent compared to AG1 (10 billion CFU) or Live it Up (5 billion CFU). Since digestive support is a primary reason for taking greens powders, this is a significant drawback. During testing, I didn't experience the same digestive comfort or regularity as with the top two products.
Digestive Support: 4/10
Lacks the comprehensive digestive support of top competitors.
Taste: 6/10
Minty but not as pleasant as Live it Up.
Texture: 6/10
Requires more mixing than average.
Smell: 9/10
Minty smell masks greens well.
Price for Value: 8/10
At $1.50/serving with a subscription, it offers solid value.
Morning Kick
Zesty and lightly spicy; energizing, almost effervescent.
Pros
- Blend contains algae and cereal grasses
- Probiotics and prebiotics
- Adaptogen and bovine collagen
- Pleasant taste and smell
- Affordable
Cons
- No vitamin or mineral transparency
- Contains stevia
- Low dose of greens (500mg)
- Underdosed adaptogens and collagen
Top 3 Benefits
- Prebiotics and probiotics support gut health and regularity.
- Greens Blend provides nutrient-dense superfoods.
- Bovine collagen may support skin and bone health.
Favorite Feature
The combination of digestive support with cognitive benefits from ashwagandha.
Biggest Miss
Extremely low greens dose at 500mg compared to 5-7g in competitors. This significantly limits the digestive and detoxification benefits you'd expect from a greens powder. While it does include probiotics and prebiotics, the low concentration of fiber-rich greens like spirulina and chlorella means less fuel for your gut microbiome. During testing, I noticed minimal impact on digestive regularity compared to higher-dosed formulas.
Digestive Support: 5/10
Includes probiotics and prebiotics but lacks sufficient greens for optimal gut health.
Taste: 10/10
Strawberry lemonade flavor is universally appealing.
Texture: 10/10
Very smooth, no clumping.
Smell: 10/10
Best smell of any powder tested.
Price for Value: 8/10
At $1.67/serving, it's affordable but less potent.
Factor Form Daily Greens
Light citrus with a mild bitter edge.
.avif)
Pros
- Includes greens, fruits, mushrooms, and adaptogens
- Prebiotics and probiotics
- No added sugars
- Majority of vitamins and minerals at 100% DV
Cons
- Contains fillers (xanthan gum)
- Includes stevia
- Synthetic vitamins and minerals
- No digestive enzymes
- No organic ingredients
Top 3 Benefits
- Probiotics and prebiotics support balanced gut microbiome.
- Ashwagandha may help with stress and cognition.
- Lion's Mane supports cognitive function.
Favorite Feature
Strong cognitive enhancement focus alongside gut support.
Biggest Miss
No digestive enzymes. While probiotics and prebiotics are present, the absence of digestive enzymes means less comprehensive digestive support. Enzymes help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, making nutrients more available and reducing gas and bloating. During testing, I experienced adequate regularity but more post-meal bloating than with enzyme-rich formulas.
Digestive Support: 6/10
Probiotics and prebiotics present but missing digestive enzymes for complete gut health.
Taste: 8/10
Fruity sweetness masks greens well.
Texture: 9/10
No clumping or grittiness.
Smell: 8/10
Nice fruity and minty smell.
Price for Value: 5/10
At $2.30/serving, it's premium-priced without matching formula comprehensiveness.
IM8
Almost unflavored; faint tea notes.
Pros
- Includes superfoods, greens, fruits, mushrooms, and herbs
- Digestive enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics
- Electrolytes, adaptogens, and amino acids
- No artificial sweeteners or added sugars
- Non-GMO ingredients
- Free of gluten
- NSF-Certified for Sport
Cons
- Many vitamins and minerals exceed daily recommendations
- Ingredients may be underdosed
- No organic ingredients
- Synthetic ingredients
- Expensive
Top 3 Benefits
- Complete digestive support with enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics for gut health and regularity.
- Coenzyme Q10 may improve endurance and reduce fatigue.
- Greens and Fruits Complex provides antioxidant support.
Favorite Feature
The inclusion of postbiotics. This is rare in greens powders and represents the next frontier in gut health. Postbiotics are beneficial compounds produced when probiotics ferment fiber, and they support immune function and intestinal barrier health.
Biggest Miss
Although comprehensive, the lower concentration of core greens like spirulina and chlorella means it's not the ideal choice if your sole focus is digestive health and regularity.
Digestive Support: 7/10
Comprehensive with postbiotics, but lower greens concentration limits fiber benefits.
Taste: 7/10
Unique mixed berry taste with mild aftertaste.
Texture: 7/10
Smooth but slightly gritty in the mouth.
Smell: 9/10
Fruity and pleasant.
Price for Value: 2/10
At $2.96/serving, it's premium-priced.
Bloom Greens & Superfoods
Pineapple-mango sweetness with a stevia finish.
Pros
- Contains fruits, veggies, and adaptogens
- Non-GMO ingredients
- Many different flavors
- Probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes (7 strains), and fiber blend
- Free of gluten, soy, and dairy
- No added sugars
- Affordable
Cons
- Contains fillers (xanthan gum)
- Includes stevia
- Synthetic vitamins and minerals
- No digestive enzymes
- No organic ingredients
Top 3 Benefits
- 7 different digestive enzymes—significantly more than most competitors for comprehensive food breakdown.
- Inulin/chicory root fiber supports beneficial gut bacteria and may relieve constipation.
- Spirulina provides antioxidant and immune support.
Favorite Feature
The impressive enzyme diversity. With 7 digestive enzymes compared to AG1's single enzyme, Bloom offers broader spectrum support for breaking down various food types. This means less bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort after meals.
Biggest Miss
Lack of transparency around probiotic CFU count and specific nutrient amounts. While the enzyme profile is excellent, not knowing exactly how many probiotics you're getting makes it hard to gauge true digestive efficacy.
Digestive Support: 8/10
Excellent enzyme diversity and fiber, but transparency issues prevent a perfect score.
Taste: 8/10
Sweetness masks greens well.
Texture: 7/10
Slight grit throughout.
Smell: 6/10
Nothing off-putting but earthy.
Price for Value: 9/10
At $1.05/serving, it's affordable with strong digestive support.
Kiala Greens
Fruity, acai-berry aroma; sweet but drinkable.
Pros
- Includes cereal grasses, algae, and antioxidants
- Electrolytes
- Many different flavors
- Free of gluten, soy, and dairy
- Affordable
Cons
- Contains maltodextrin
- Includes artificial sweetener (sucralose)
- Contains caffeine
- No prebiotics, probiotics, or digestive enzymes
- No vitamin and mineral transparency
Top 3 Benefits
- Spectra® Antioxidant Blend reduces free radical production.
- Spirulina offers antioxidant effects and immune support.
- Quercetin provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Favorite Feature
The clinically studied Spectra® antioxidant blend is unique and well-researched.
Biggest Miss
Complete absence of digestive support ingredients. No probiotics, prebiotics, or digestive enzymes means Kiala won't help with gut health, bloating, or regularity. If your main goal is digestive wellness—which it should be with a greens powder—this is a deal-breaker. During testing, I noticed no improvement in digestive comfort or bowel consistency.
Digestive Support: 1/10
Zero digestive-specific ingredients makes this unsuitable for gut health goals.
Taste: 5/10
Citrus smell doesn't help the taste—"chug it" category.
Texture: 4/10
One of the grainiest products tested.
Smell: 8/10
Citrusy smell masks greens well.
Price for Value: 7/10
At $1.17/serving, it's affordable but lacking in digestive benefits.
Zena Organic Supergreens
Bold spirulina and kale earthiness; natural but heavy.
Pros
- Includes greens, vegetables, fruits, and herbs
- Non-GMO, certified organic ingredients
- Free of gluten, soy, and dairy
- Prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes
- Affordable
Cons
- Only 4.5g of superfoods
- Only 4 minerals listed, no vitamins
- Contains stevia
- Includes some caffeine and coconut
- Gritty texture
- Unpleasant taste
Top 3 Benefits
- Probiotics and digestive enzymes support gut health and nutrient absorption.
- Inulin supports beneficial gut bacteria and regularity.
- Ashwagandha may help with stress reduction.
Favorite Feature
Well-balanced all-in-one wellness powder with solid digestive support components.
Biggest Miss
Minimal nutrient transparency and only 4.5g of superfoods. While digestive ingredients are present, the low overall greens content means less fiber to feed your gut microbiome. The gritty texture and unpleasant taste also make it harder to consume consistently—and consistency is key for digestive health.
Digestive Support: 6/10
Includes key digestive ingredients but low greens content limits fiber benefits.
Taste: 6/10
Fruity addition didn't mask greens well.
Texture: 5/10
One of the grittiest textures tested.
Smell: 7/10
Earthy smell develops quickly.
Price for Value: 10/10
At $0.80/serving, it's a bargain if you can tolerate the taste and texture.
Amazing Grass Green Superfood Blend
Authentic spinach-wheatgrass flavor; very green.
Pros
- Includes fruits and veggies
- Fiber blend with prebiotics
- Organic and non-GMO ingredients
- Free of gluten
- Four flavors
- Affordable
Cons
- Contains fructose
- Includes fillers (silica)
- No digestive enzymes
- Low dose of probiotics (~1 billion CFU, 1 strain)
Top 3 Benefits
- Organic wheatgrass offers fiber for digestive regularity and antioxidant support.
- Spirulina supports immunity and modulates inflammation.
- Chlorella supports immune and cellular health.
Favorite Feature
Whole-food-based ingredients grown on their family farm in Kansas—great for those seeking "farm to bottle" products.
Biggest Miss
Severely underdosed probiotics at only ~1 billion CFU with a single strain. This is far too low to provide meaningful digestive benefits. Compare this to Live it Up (5 billion CFU, 4 strains) or AG1 (10 billion CFU, 5 strains). The probiotic dose here is essentially a marketing add-on rather than a functional feature. During testing, I didn't notice improved digestive comfort or consistency.
Digestive Support: 3/10
Prebiotics and fiber present, but critically low probiotic dose limits gut health benefits.
Taste: 7/10
Chocolate flavor helps with earthy notes.
Texture: 8/10
No grittiness or mixing issues.
Smell: 6/10
Strong earthy scent partially masked by chocolate.
Price for Value: 9/10
At $0.90/serving, it's one of the most affordable options.
Field of Greens
Tart-sweet lemonade with green undertones.
Pros
- Blend includes fruits, veggies, and algae
- Offers vitamin and mineral transparency
- USDA-certified organic ingredients
- Free of gluten and sugar
- Four flavors
Cons
- No probiotics or digestive enzymes
- Synthetic vitamins and minerals
- Contains stevia
- Unpleasant taste
- Allergen warnings
Top 3 Benefits
- Organic Greens Blend offers antioxidant support and may help with detoxification.
- Organic Metabolic Blend (ginger and turmeric) supports digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Organic Antioxidant Reds Blend provides recovery support for active individuals.
Favorite Feature
The inclusion of beetroot and tart cherry offers unique recovery benefits for athletes.
Biggest Miss
Complete absence of probiotics. While ginger and turmeric can support digestive comfort, the lack of probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes means Field of Greens won't provide the comprehensive gut health support most consumers seek. This is a critical gap for anyone prioritizing digestive wellness and regularity.
Digestive Support: 2/10
No probiotics severely limits gut health benefits despite some digestive-friendly herbs.
Taste: 3/10
Earthy and watery—definitely "chug it" category.
Texture: 9/10
No thickness or clumping issues.
Smell: 7/10
No masking smell but not off-putting.
Price for Value: 5/10
At $2.69/serving, it's expensive for limited digestive support.
Primal Greens
Gentle herbal aroma, slightly grassy.
Pros
- Includes fruits, veggies, herbs, mushrooms, and adaptogens
- Prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes
- Vitamin and mineral transparency
- Free of gluten, soy, and dairy
- Non-GMO ingredients
Cons
- Includes stevia
- Contains nuts
- Gritty texture
Top 3 Benefits
- Probiotics support balanced gut microbiome and digestive comfort.
- Digestive enzymes aid nutrient breakdown and absorption.
- Adaptogenic mushrooms (reishi and maitake) support stress management and immunity.
Favorite Feature
Solid multi-system wellness with greens, probiotics, enzymes, and adaptogens in one convenient formula. The inclusion of adaptogenic mushrooms sets it apart from basic greens powders
Biggest Miss
Lack of transparency around probiotic CFU count and enzyme dosing. Without knowing exactly how much digestive support you're getting, it's hard to compare effectiveness to competitors. The gritty texture also makes daily consumption less pleasant, which can impact consistency—critical for digestive health.
Digestive Support: 6/10
All the right ingredients but unclear dosing and poor texture limit effectiveness.
Taste: 6/10
Earthy without masking flavors.
Texture: 5/10
Fairly gritty, not easy to drink.
Smell: 6/10
Not off-putting but not exciting.
Price for Value: 7/10
Middle to low-end at $1.33/serving.

After sampling a whopping 13 green supplements, Live it Up Super Greens stood out as the clear winner for comprehensive digestive support and overall wellness.
