Sometimes, greens powders aren’t all…green. Brickhouse Nutrition’s Field of Greens — in addition to the leafy goodness offered by the best greens powders — also contains a unique blend of reds (a fruit supplement), prebiotics and probiotics (which both support digestion and gastrointestinal health), and a blend specifically designed to boost your metabolism.
Here at BarBend, we’ve put our supplement testing methodology to determine the goods, bads, and in-betweens of over 40 greens powders, including Field of Greens. We think this supplement offers a unique twist on typical greens powders, even though our team of fitness and nutrition experts — like me, a certified nutrition coach — are disappointed that it’s not third-party tested. Read on for our full Field of Greens review.

Brickhouse Nutrition is a relatively new supplement company created in 2016 by two brothers. They used their own experience in sports nutrition to create high-quality supplements. Field of Greens is Brickhouse Nutrition’s superfood powder which consists of a 5-in-1 blend of greens, reds, prebiotics, probiotics, and a metabolism boost all in one. Brickhouse Nutrition claims their superfood powder is packed with organic ingredients that provide support for your digestion, metabolism, immunity, and inflammation.
The nice thing about this green powder is that the inclusion of a reds blend makes the overall taste less grassy green and more green apple fruity. One of our testers is thrilled by this, noting: “The taste was surprisingly sweet. I was expecting a bitter or earthy taste, but it was almost fruity instead.”
Field of Greens’s formula is a proprietary blend of real, freeze-dried fruits and veggies. This means it’s filled with vitamins and nutrients like iron, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, and vitamin C which all come straight from the fruits and veggies.

However, all of the ingredients are proprietary blends, which is a big source of frustration for me as a certified nutrition coach. Proprietary blends mean you can’t tell how much of which ingredients you are actually getting in each serving. I’d prefer a lot more transparency in my supplements, especially because Field of Greens isn’t third-party tested.
There are definitely cheaper greens powder options out there and without the exact amount of each ingredient, we can’t be sure if the price of Field of Greens is worth the value you’re getting. But it is important to note that with only 10 calories and a serving size of 10 grams, one serving of this greens blend won’t even make a dent in your daily calorie expenditure.
I do like the versatility here, though, because this product offers a lot of “extra” features that other greens powders just don’t typically have. Field of Greens comes in a “Raw” option that doesn’t include stevia; “Charged,” which contains caffeine; and, “Insight,” a cognitive blend that contains a proprietary blend of super mushrooms. Unfortunately, “Charged” doesn’t list the amount of caffeine in each serving, which can be dangerous. Consuming over 300 to 400 milligrams of caffeine in a day can cause unwanted side effects like decreased quality of sleep, stomach discomfort, and heart issues.
Who Should Use / Who Shouldn’t Use Field of Greens
Not every supplement is right for each individual. Here at BarBend, we aim to provide you with the information you need to decide if each supplement fits your needs. To make it easier, we’ve made a short and sweet list to help you determine if Field of Greens is right for you.
Recommended for:
- Those who struggle to get their daily dose of vegetables
- Anyone looking to add more antioxidants to their diet
- Individuals wanting a green, red, and prebiotic, probiotic, and metabolism-boosting combo — with the option to add caffeine or a mushroom blend
Not Recommended for:
- Those who already consume enough fruit and veggies in a day and/or take multivitamins
- People who prefer their supplements to be third-party tested and not include proprietary blends
- Individuals that are extremely sensitive to caffeine, as it contains an unspecified amount of green tea extract
Our Experience Using Field of Greens
Upon first glance at the Field of Greens canisters, our testers already have a lot to say. One of our expert testers notes, “The container is clear, so you can see the green powders in the bottle.” As a certified nutrition coach myself, I also like that you can see the coloring of powder from the outside before using it. It’s almost like they are letting you know ahead of time “Hey, this greens powder doesn’t have all these unnecessary frills and fillers.”
The same expert tester mentioned the branding, saying, “I like the holographic label. There is a lot of information on the label which is really helpful and transparent. The packaging seems male-centered.” I can definitely see what they mean. While many green powders have a stereotypically feminine softness about them with marketed benefits like hormone balancing and skin health, Field of Greens uses bold, assertive fonts and strong, solid lines on their packaging, which typically panders to men.
Ingredients and Formulation
Field of Greens is a vegan, gluten-free, superfood powder composed of 5 different proprietary blends. This makes it unclear how many servings of each ingredient you receive in each scoop. The lack of information on the specifications of the formula and the exact amount of each ingredient docks some overall points in my view as a certified nutrition coach, even though the ingredients list is impressive.
The organic greens blend contains over a dozen different veggies. Brickhouse Nutrition highlights chlorella and spirulina specifically on their website as the two greens that stand out from the pack. (1) Research suggests that foods may help with cardiovascular health, anemia, immune function, arterial stiffness, and reducing cholesterol. (2)
The reds blend packs in a ton of organic fruits, like green apples, green bananas, and a mix of berries, which are rich in antioxidants and may help prevent cardiovascular diseases and heart conditions. (3) I like the inclusion of reds because, as a nutrition coach, I know that fruits are so often overlooked in our day-to-day lives. Natural fruits are the best way to get these nutrients, but a solid reds supplement is a great secondary option. (I just wish they weren’t in a proprietary blend.)
Field of Greens only includes a single probiotic strain, which disappoints me. The strain, Bacillus coagulans, seems like it may have been added without as much deep consideration as the other ingredient. Even on the Brickhouse Nutrition Science page, they share an extensive list of the included fruits and veggies and point out the distinct benefits of each, but they provide very little explanation on why they chose this strain and why adding a probiotic to your greens powder can benefit you. (1)
[Related: Best Probiotic Supplements]
I also couldn’t find the CFU count anywhere on the website, so it’s impossible to tell the strength of the probiotics in each serving. This could potentially be tricky because taking more than your body is used to at one time could cause digestive issues.
The metabolic blend is where things get a little questionable. This blend contains ginger powder, licorice powder, turmeric, and green tea powder. Brickhouse Nutrition’s Science page claims this blend is intended to decrease inflammation and bloating (which does make sense based on those ingredients), as well as increase the metabolism. (1)
Having said that, it’s important to note that “metabolism booster” is another phrase for “fat burner.” These supplements claim to fire up your metabolism to help you lose weight, reduce fat absorption, or increase fat oxidation during exercise. There isn’t a whole lot of research to support the idea that fat burners actually help with weight loss. Generally, any metabolism-boosting effects typically come from caffeine and don’t have a long-lasting effect. (4)(5)
As a certified nutrition coach, I strongly discourage investing in fat burners and caution anyone against taking for granted the weight loss claims that different supplements lay claim to. I will give Field of Greens a bit of a pass for this, though, as it seems to be the least marketed part of what this supplement can do for you.
The color of Field of Greens sparked a lot of conversation among our testers. One of our expert testers remarks: “The powder doesn’t have a vibrant green color like many other green powders which honestly I prefer. I normally stay away from anything artificially colored.” Another expert tester describes how the powder changes color when it’s mixed with water, saying: “When dry, the powder has a pale, almost sage-green color. Once it’s added to water, it changes to a dark avocado green with a tinge of brown.”
There were mixed reviews on the side effects, though. One expert tester was surprised to find they didn’t have any discomfort, commenting: “I didn’t experience any digestive discomfort, which is surprising since I have a sensitive stomach.” On the other hand, an expert tester that had two servings in one day had a less positive experience, explaining: “I experienced a lot of bloating and gas after taking it twice in one day!”
Taste
Our expert testers overall enjoy the taste of Field of Greens. One of our expert testers says, “The drink does not have a strong aftertaste.” That’s pretty high praise for a greens powder. This taste is almost certainly thanks the to inclusion of a reds blend. I like that this adds a naturally sweet flavor and would make it a great addition to smoothies.
Another expert tester mentions, “I tried original. It’s not bad…slightly sweet and more fruity (kind of like green apple) than vegetable-y — for an unflavored greens powder, I’m impressed.” On a scale of 1 to 5, they score the flavor 3.5 out of 5.
Certified personal trainer and BarBend editorial team member Kate Meier has this to say about the taste: “The taste almost comes off as a sweet green tea. Its not horrible to drink, but it isn’t utterly fabulous, either.“
Super important to note: regardless of how you feel about the taste, this powder might be a bit hard on your stomach. Meier notes: “The product recommends taking it twice daily, but it was aggressive on the stomach so I began with one scoop to eventually taking it twice in a day.”
Solubility
Our expert testers also like the solubility of Field of Greens. One tester says, “There were a few clumps in the drinks but they were pretty easy to dissolve with the back of my spoon.” One of our testers mentions that the powder doesn’t stay mixed when it’s left alone, expressing that it “mixes well with just a straw, [but] it does settle a little on the bottom if you don’t drink it all at once.”
Another expert tester had a similar experience with leaving the green drink to sit for a short period, saying: “I mixed one scoop of the Field of Greens powder with 8 ounces of water and left the solution on my desk for about a minute. Once I got back, about an inch of residue was at the bottom of the glass. So, I re-mixed it with a spoon and drank it immediately to prevent the powder from settling again. After finishing the drink I was so surprised that so much of the powder was still at the bottom of the glass that I ended up adding more water to the glass.”
One of our expert testers noticed a texture from the powder, saying, “The texture of the beverage was grainy. You can definitely feel the gritty residue of the solution on your throat, but it’s not as grainy as other green powders I’ve tried.” Overall, this tester scores the solubility as 4.5 out of 5.
That’s not the only grade the solubility gets from us, though. Kate Meier, a certified personal trainer and member of BarBend’s editorial team, puts it this way: “I personally do not mind having to shake the drink before consumption, but the product itself should be made to where I shouldn’t have to mix it so often. The product mixes easily without a blender, but it also settles just as quick. The overall rating for mixability is a 3 out of 5.“ One of the biggest problems for Meier was the sheer amount of powder that stuck to the sides of the cup after drinking — that’s hard-earned money going down the proverbial drain (unless you re-mix with more water, which we recommend).
Price Per Serving
At $2.33 per serving or $2.10 with a subscription, Field of Greens is about the price per serving I’d expect for a green powder that also includes reds, prebiotics, probiotics, and a metabolism booster. While it may be slightly more expensive than other greens powders, the organic, freeze-dried ingredients and the combination of fruits, veggies and a single strain of probiotics make Field of Greens a potentially more valuable greens powder than some competitors.
Third-Party Testing
Unfortunately, Field of Grains loses some credibility because it isn’t third-party tested. As a nutrition coach, I’m always cautious about products that aren’t third-party tested. It’s especially important in the case of Field of Greens because all of their ingredients are proprietary blends, so you can’t be sure exactly how much you’re getting out of each ingredient.
Additionally, there is not a lot of research on the benefits of greens powders and juices, so this makes third-party testing even more crucial to at least clarify ingredient quantities and quality.
What to Consider Before Buying Field of Greens
Here at Barbend, we’ve tested over 40 different greens powders, individually examining their formulas, evaluating their efficacy, and sampling each to bring you the full picture of what each product is like. We know that the supplement industry is inundated with options, so it can be overwhelming to narrow it down to which one is best for your specific needs. We’ve compiled a list of considerations to determine if Field of Greens is the right choice for you and your routine.
- Access to Whole, Natural Foods: If you eat a lot of fruits and veggies in your diet already, you may not need to use a supplemental greens powder.
- Desire for Reds and Probiotics with Greens: Field of Greens is especially useful if you’re looking for a greens powder with added benefits like reds and probiotics.
- Health Concerns: If you have health concerns, especially a kidney condition, or are pregnant, consult with your doctor before taking a new supplement.
- Caffeine Sensitivity: Field of Greens contains an unspecified amount of green tea extract. If you are sensitive to caffeine, you may want to consider a different greens supplement.
- Third-Party Testing: Especially if you compete in strength sports and need to know your supplements don’t contain any banned ingredients, it might be especially important to consider that Field of Greens isn’t third-party tested (and contains proprietary blends).
Field of Greens Product Vs. Competitors
Field of Greens is unique from its competitors in that it offers more flavor options than most and contains that reds blend. At BarBend, we like that both AG1 and Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens are third-party tested and very transparent about their ingredients and amount of each, which gives them more credibility than Field of Greens.
AG1 includes everything Field of Greens has plus protein powder, enzymes, and super mushrooms, setting it apart from Field of Greens. Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens, another greens powder we like at Barbend, costs much less and specifies the amounts of all it’s ingredients. While Field of Greens has fewer calories per serving than AG1 and Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens, each of the other greens blends contains more protein a calorically dense, essential macronutrient that most of us don’t get enough of.

Places to Buy Field of Greens
- Brickhouse Nutrition website
Customer Experience and Brand Reputation
You can only purchase Brickhouse Nutrition products from their website. They offer a subscription service, a rewards program, a 15% military discount, standard shipping, and a 60-day return policy. The catch with the 60-day return policy is that you have to initiate the return within 30 days of purchase.
It’s hard to find user reviews that aren’t on the Brickhouse Nutrition website. I typically like to browse Amazon for unbiased user reviews rather than rely on the ones from the company’s website. But, Field of Greens is not on Amazon. The website features over 7,000+ reviews, most of which are positive, but it’s possible that the reviews may be edited by the company.
Our Final Verdict on Field of Greens
I like the idea of a supplement that combines a greens, reds, prebiotics, and probiotics — but in the case of Field of Greens, it’s a jack of all trades, master of none situation. There seems to be a large variety of fruits and veggies, but there is no way to know how much of each a serving actually contains because of the proprietary blends. Additionally, the prebiotics, probiotics, and metabolism boost seem to be a secondary focus in this supplement.
Overall, our expert testers had a lot of good things to say about their experience with drinking Field of Greens. In general, most of the comments ranged from neutral to positive, the most positive remarks being about the almost fruity taste of the powder. They also mentioned the color of the powder being significantly different from competitors. While most are usually filled with artificial green coloring to make the powder look more appealing, Field of Greens has a duller green color, free of artificial coloring — which can be a big plus.
FAQs
Is Field of Greens worth it?
As a certified nutrition coach, I am always wary of proprietary blends and a lack of third-party testing — both of which apply to Field of Greens. I would personally reach for a greens powder that was third-party tested or at the very least, lists out the exact amount of all of their ingredients. But, if you’re interested in the flavor profiles, the unique presence of a reds fruit blend, and the lack of artificial coloring, you might find Field of Greens worth your while.
What does Field of Greens do for you?
Field of Greens provides lots of vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients that are essential for immune health, heart health, and aiding digestion. According to their website, it has also been suggested to help with inflammation and give you a boost of energy. The research on greens powders generally is not very extensive, however.
Do super greens really work?
There isn’t a lot of research on the health benefits of super-greens supplements. Having said that, the research shown on spirulina and chlorella is promising. As a certified nutrition coach, I like that they are incredibly nutrient dense containing high amounts of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, antioxidants, and minerals like iron and calcium. Many users have noticed positive benefits in their cardiovascular health, immune system, gut health, blood pressure, and cholesterol management. (6)(7)(8)
These super greens can help fill the gap in your diet to reach your nutrition goals in a pinch, but they should be used primarily to complement your diet rather than to replace whole vegetables or as a meal replacement.
How much does Field of Greens cost?
Field of Greens costs $69.95 or $62.96 with a subscription. They also have additional savings if you’re ordering in bulk. Plus they offer a rewards program and a 15% military discount for extra savings.
