The 10 Best Greens Powders of 2025, Tested, Chosen, and Approved by a Dietitian

Prebiotic Greens is one of the best prebiotic supplements among greens powders. Prebiotic fiber helps nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promoting improved gut health. (6) Some greens powders may not contain sufficient dietary fiber and other prebiotics, but this one has good prebiotic content — a huge plus in its flavor.

Registered dietitian Chelsea Rae Bourgeois rates this formulation a stellar 4.5 out of 5. She explains: “I’m a huge fan of the nutrition facts for Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens. The greens powder contains a list of health-promoting vegetables that provide 6 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein per scoop. And there are no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives — you’re paying for high-quality ingredients, not fluff! And it’s Informed Choice certified.”

It’s not just great ingredients and third-party testing — it tastes awesome, too. “I really enjoyed the Peach Mango flavor,” says our product tester, who rates the taste a 4 out of 5. “The flavor is definitely sweet but not too much and still a little earthy.” However, another product tester thinks it tasted “too grassy,” so it really comes down to personal preference. The product is naturally sweetened with stevia. (7)

Our testers haven’t experienced any difficulty mixing this product with water, so they rate solubility a 4.5 out of 5. “I didn’t have a problem with the powder clumping up, and I didn’t need to constantly remix it as I sipped my drink,” says our tester.

When it comes to actual value and price, the 30-serving container costs $45.99, or $1.53 per serving, which isn’t particularly expensive. However, you can find cheaper products with comparable formulations.

While we love the fact that Transparent Labs has added prebiotic fiber, we know that not everyone wants additional fiber in their greens powder. If you’re looking for a great option that’s lighter on fiber, we recommend Legion Genesis, which only contains 1 gram of fiber per serving.

AG1 is packed with superfoods, herbs, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, and probiotics. Combined, these ingredients work to improve gut health, immunity, mood, and energy delivering 2 grams of dietary fiber, 2 grams of protein, and quantitative servings of vital micronutrients. Just one scoop mixed with 8 ounces of cold water delivers a powerful dose of nutrients to help your body thrive. 

“The grassy flavor you get with most greens powders is mild here,” our tester says, rating this a 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.”

AG1 has an impressive nutrient profile. One serving provides more than 100%of the daily value of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B12, and zinc, which support the immune system, red blood cell production, energy metabolism, and healing. (1)(2)(3) It also contains a digestive enzyme blend to aid in breaking down food for better absorption, as well as a probiotic supplement blend to support a balanced gut microbiome, which may improve gut health and immunity. (4)

Furthermore, it’s dairy-free and has no fillers, artificial colors, preservatives, or animal byproducts. (5) Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, RD, notes: “AG1 provide a concentrated source of nutrients, along with beneficial probiotics. It gets a 3 out of 5 for its formulation, with major deductions for its proprietary blends and cost. For many, the cost doesn’t match the purported benefits.”

In terms of user experience, our tester notes, “As with other popular greens powders, like Bloom Greens, 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.” They rate solubility a 3.5 out of 5.

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.”

Each container is $79.00 and includes 30 servings, which each cost $2.63. Most other greens powders are just over $1 per serving, so we give AG1 a 1 out of 5 for price per serving. However, this greens powder contains a lot more ingredients than most others on our list, so it may be worth the extra cost. 

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option among the best greens powders, you may want to check out our next pick instead, Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens.

It’s no secret that greens powders don’t always taste great. Many have an earthy, grassy flavor that isn’t particularly favored by many. Luckily, that wasn’t our experience with Live It Up greens powder, which had a much more pleasant taste and was kinder on the taste buds. After using this product for six months, our tester gives the overall flavor a 4.5 out of 5.

“The Original flavor is kind of like mint,” our tester says. “I’d say it definitely tastes as described. At first, I thought the flavor was a little overwhelming, but I actually think it’s one of the best greens drinks I’ve had.”

The formula is another win. Live it Up contains more than 20 natural superfoods, including chlorella and spirulina, which are bursting with antioxidants. (13) You also get over 50 percent of the daily recommended value of vitamin A and B vitamins — B1, B9, and B12. It also features digestive enzymes and probiotics for improved digestion. (6)(8)(9) That said, we wish the brand didn’t use proprietary blends, which don’t specify the exact amount of each ingredient.

“Live It Up Greens scores a 2.75 out of 5 in the formulation category,” according to Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, M.S., RDN, LD. She also highlights it as a good vegan protein source. “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.”

“This powder doesn’t totally dissolve, and I need to remix it if I let it sit for too long,” says our tester who gives solubility 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 do. A blender might help, but not everyone wants the hassle of making a smoothie every time they need their greens powder fix.

At $1.99 per serving ($59.99 per bag), this is a more expensive 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 if you’re looking for something easier on the wallet, Jacked Factory Green Surge is our pick for the best affordable greens powder.

If you’re looking for a greens supplement with a simple, effective, clinically-dosed list of ingredients, it’s hard to beat Legion Genesis. This potent greens formula only contains five types of greens, carefully chosen to provide a variety of scientifically proven health benefits.

One dose of Legion Genesis boasts an impressive five grams of organic spirulina, a blue-green algae packed with iron, beta-carotene, and B vitamins. (13) Spirulina is also rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation and cell damage caused by free radicals. (14) Furthermore, research has linked consistent spirulina intake with improved health outcomes related to weight, blood pressure, and endothelial function. (15)

Alongside the spirulina, this super greens powder includes maca root extract, dong quai root, reishi mushrooms, and astragalus root extract, earning this powder a 4 out of 5 for formulation. (16) These ingredients may support a variety of functions, including boosting immunity, regulating blood sugar levels, and promoting heart and kidney health, yet more research is needed. “Plus, it’s third-party tested, giving you further peace of mind when adding the greens powder to your supplement routine,” says Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, M.S., RDN, LD.

“We specifically like Legion as one of the best super greens powders 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 says, giving the flavor a rating of 4 out of 5. “I finished the whole scoop and actually enjoyed it.”

What’s more, it blends easily without any clumps or floaties, earning a solubility rating of 4.5 out of 5. “It takes a bit of stirring to get it to all dissolve, but it blends great,” says Meier.

The 30-serving container costs $41.99, which is about $1.40 per serving. We rate the price per serving a 4 out of 5. While there are cheaper options for those shopping on a budget, this cost is pretty reasonable. 

The minimal ingredient list is simple and effective, but if you prefer a larger spectrum of ingredients in your greens, AG1 is another great choice that’s packed with a variety of superfoods.

Pro Health Longevity Greens contains prebiotics, probiotics (500 million CFUs from seven bacterial strains), and digestive enzymes to help bolster digestion. This potent formulation includes several blends designed to support cellular health, enhance liver detoxification, and strengthen the immune system.

The prebiotic and probiotic blend helps nourish and diversify beneficial gut bacteria that support digestion, boost immunity, and promote overall gut health. Digestive enzymes aid digestion by breaking down the food we eat into smaller molecules, allowing the body to absorb nutrients for energy and muscle growth. (6)(8)(9) “I didn’t experience any bloating or GI issues,” says BarBend editorial member Matt Cummings, a potential testimony to this greens powder’s gut-supporting blend.

Cummings rated its flavor a 4 out of 5. “It was pretty sweet, but not overwhelming,” he says. “I thought it tasted somewhat like an apple, but I didn’t register much banana.”

Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, M.S., RDN, LD, considers this formulation fairly standard, giving it a 3 out of 5 rating for its category. “If you’re deficient in vitamin B12, Pro Health Longevity Greens Powder may be a valuable addition to your treatment under the guidance of your healthcare provider,” she adds. “But it’s important to remember that the body doesn’t store unused vitamin B12, so any of the 1,500 milligrams that go unused will just be excreted.” (2)

Bourgeois points out that Pro Health Longevity Greens contains proprietary blends, which she dislikes because it reduces transparency about the actual doses of each ingredient. If you’re looking for more exact servings of ingredients like maca root, spirulina, moringa leaf, ashwagandha root, and others, it may be best to avoid powders featuring proprietary blends.

Finally, Pro Health Longevity Greens Powder is somewhat expensive when compared to the average costs of other greens supplements. “You’re paying a little more than $2 per serving to get anywhere from 3 to 50 percent of your daily value for various nutrients, with the exception of vitamin B12,” says Bourgeois. Still, for those wanting the extra digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics, it may be worth it. 

If you’re looking for a more affordable option that still provides additional prebiotic fiber to support digestive health, Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens is a good choice that only costs $1.53 per serving. 

Like all the best organic protein powders, multivitamins, and greens powders, finding a formula with certified organic ingredients can be a challenge. Nested Naturals Super Greens hit this mark perfectly, as it’s made with organic, non-GMO, vegan-friendly ingredients designed to promote overall health and wellness. 

This formula has a probiotic blend with 1.67 billion colony-forming units (CFU), digestive enzymes, and a fiber blend, all of which are helpful for digestion. (6)(8)(9) Probiotics may reduce gas and bloating, digestive enzymes aim to improve nutrient absorption, and fiber is great for bowel regularity and managing blood sugar. 

“Nested Naturals Super Greens contains multiple proprietary blends,” says Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, M.S., RDN, LD. “So, while they may offer many purported health benefits, you can’t be sure exactly how much of each ingredient you’re consuming.” Still, she likes the whole foods aspect of the product: “Each serving contains 20 whole foods, providing the gut with many different nutrients that support energy, mood, and digestion.” Ultimately, she gives the formula a 3.75 out of 5, deducting points because it contains proprietary blends and a relatively low CFU count.

And while it does contain fiber and probiotics, they’re not in potent doses. The 2 grams of fiber provide 7% of the daily value, offering only a small contribution to your overall fiber goal, which is usually about 25-30 grams per day, depending on individual needs. And the 1.67 billion CFU is beneficial but some probiotic supplements contain as many as 50 billion CFU or more per dose. (10) This gut support is evident by our tester, who says, “I didn’t experience any GI issues or bloating.”

This supplement comes in two flavors, Original and Chocolate. “I had the Original, and it tasted like a lot of other greens powders I’ve sipped,” our tester says, rating 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.”

Each package costs about $24.99 for 30 servings, which is about $0.83 per serving, making this one of our budget-friendly options. We rated the price per serving a 4.5 out of 5. 

Nested Naturals has added a variety of superfood-containing blends. This ensures you’re getting a wide variety of nutrients, but if you prefer a simpler approach, Legion Genesis Greens is a good choice that only includes five types of greens.

Huel Daily Superblend is loaded with ingredients that promote satiety, which could reduce overeating and support the best weight loss programs. As our expert reviewer Gabrielle Fundaro explains in her article about calorie deficits, reaching your weight loss goals requires taking in fewer calories that you expend. “Your body requires a certain amount of energy — measured in calories — to stay alive and perform all of your daily activities,” she says. “When you’re in a calorie deficit, you will usually lose weight because your body has to release the energy stored in your body fat in order to meet your energy needs,” Fundaro adds. 

This greens powder has 250 calories, which is higher than most. However, these calories come from added protein and fiber. The 25 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber in this powder can help you build and maintain muscle, while keeping you fuller between meals, supporting weight loss efforts. Diets higher in protein and dietary fiber may help support healthy weight maintenance. (22)

For registered dietitian Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, this formulation is pretty impressive, earning a 4 out of 5 for its formula. “The proprietary blends and sodium and saturated fat content influence the score deductions. But the impressive vitamin and mineral profile support a pretty impressive formulation score.”

When certified personal trainer and BarBend expert reviewer Kate Meier tried it out, she wasn’t sure what to expect. “This was my first protein and greens blend, and I liked it a lot more than I thought I would,” she says.

When it comes to taste, Meier rates the Chocolate flavor a 4.5 out of 5. “If you’ve ever put cacao nibs in your smoothie, this tastes like that,” she says. “The cacao was quite strong, but in a good way. And there was just a slight green-y taste at the end.”

The high levels of protein and fiber, along with hearty dosages of vitamins A, B12, C, D, E, and K are impressive, but Meier dislikes the high price tag. “If it wasn’t for the insane price, I’d totally use this myself, but $3 per serving is a lot,” she says, rating the price per serving a 2 out of 5. “Unless you’re constantly on the go, I think there are better options out there.”

With such a high rating for the flavor, don’t be discouraged by the high price. If you want to try a different great-tasting greens powder that won’t break the bank, Live It Up Super Greens is our pick for the best-tasting greens powder. 

Worrying about how to prevent bloating when using a greens powder can be a major concern for some people. Ora Organic Greens features all-natural ingredients, including prebiotics, that may support digestion and help reduce gas and bloating. (6)

BarBend editorial member and certified personal trainer Kate Meier rated its potential side effects — like bloating — a 5 out of 5. “I felt zero bloating or really any side effects at all,” she says. “And that’s saying something for a greens powder.”

When our expert reviewer Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, MS, RDN, LD took a look at the formula, she was pleased to see that Ora Organic Greens is Certified USDA Organic. This means the ingredients are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. (11) “I like that it doesn’t contain added sugars, filler ingredients, or artificial sweeteners,” she adds. 

Overall, though, she rates the formula at a 2 out of 5 because it doesn’t contain as many nutrients as other competitive brands. Bourgeois also points out that this product doesn’t offer potent amounts of key micronutrients. “The nutrition facts show that each serving provides a very low percentage of your needs for the limited nutrients included,” she explains.

On the taste side, while the organic monk fruit means you won’t be taking in any artificial sweeteners, Meier is slightly underwhelmed by the citrusy flavor. (12) “It was close to the orange flavor, but it tasted a little artificial,” she says, rating its flavor 3 out of 5. “ It wasn’t bad, though, and it was way less grass-y than other greens powders.”

The main downside here is the low score for the formulation. If you’re looking for a greens powder that has clinical dosing for all of the ingredients, we recommend Legion Genesis Greens, which provides transparent labeling and plenty of research supporting the included dose of each ingredient. 

You don’t have to spend a fortune on supplements to reap the benefits. Jacked Factory’s Green Surge is a budget-friendly option that only costs $0.75 cents per serving ($22.49 for 30 servings). We rate the cost a perfect 5 out of 5. 

The formula combines whole-food superfoods ingredients with a probiotic blend to support digestive health for athletes and non-athletes alike. The spirulina and leafy greens offer a good source of vitamin A and magnesium, which boost muscle function and eye health. (17)(18) However, we had to rate formulation a 3 out of 5 due to the use of proprietary blends. “Jacked Factory Greens Surge gets a 4 out of 5 for its formula,” says Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, M.S., RDN, LD. “It includes many nutrient-dense ingredients that support gut and immune health, but the probiotic blend is proprietary.”

Unlike most other greens powders, this one comes in several 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.” 

Our tester hasn’t experienced any unwanted side effects but notes the product’s inclusion of artificial sweeteners. (19) “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.”

If you’re looking for a greens powder that doesn’t contain any artificial sweeteners, Legion Genesis Greens has a minimal ingredients list that’s free of artificial sweeteners, flavors, or food dyes.

Green Surge ships across the world and has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you’re not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it. However, given the large number of 5-star reviews on the company website, there’s a good chance you won’t need to.

1st Phorm Opti-Greens 50 combines digestive enzymes and probiotics, including amylase, protease, peptidase, and lipase, which is great for those wondering how to improve gut health. (6)(8)(9) Plus, this only has 1 gram of fiber, which is ideal if you’re concerned about bloating and you already eat plenty of fiber through whole foods, as high-fiber diets can sometimes cause extra bloat. (20)

“I’m super impressed that each serving of 1st Phorm Opti-Greens 50 contains a probiotic with 5 billion colony forming units (CFUs),” states Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, M.S., RDN, LD. “With gut health-promoting ingredients like that, bloating shouldn’t be a problem with this greens powder.”

This formula contains some whole-food sourced ingredients, like barley grass, spirulina, wheatgrass, kale, and spinach, which are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health. “1st Phorm BCAAs score 4 out of 5 for formulation with deductions for the proprietary blends,” Bourgeois says. “Additionally, the BCAA ratio falls just short of that 2:1:1 ratio for leucine, isoleucine, and valine.” (21)

Although we wish there were more than just the Natural Berry flavor, we’ve been pleasantly surprised by its taste. “I actually enjoyed how this tasted,” our tester, BarBend editorial member and certified personal trainer Rosie Borchert says, rating the flavor a 4 out of 5. “Unlike some others, it’s actually not very grassy at all, which is unique.” Also, the solubility was excellent, with no issues mixing or dissolving the product.

Borchert rates side effects a 5 out of 5, as there were no unwanted digestive or gut issues. “I didn’t experience any side effects at all,” Borchert says. “Also, it seems other customers really enjoy this product for bloating issues.” 

We give this product a 3 out of 5 for price, as it sits in the middle of the road. While it’s certainly not the most expensive option, you can also find more affordable greens powders. One bag costs $70 for 30 servings, which is about $2.33 per serving. 

If you want to support a healthy gut with a more affordable option, Transparent Labs Prebiotic Greens is another great choice. Each serving contains a blend organic prebiotics to support gut health, and it only costs $1.53 per serving.
