What are the top green powders for energy, detox, & weight management? We found the answers.
Why You Need A Green Powder
Better Than A Multivitamin
The nutrients within multivitamins are artificial. As a result, your digestive system will only absorb a fraction of its nutrients because it doesn't recognize it the same way it would with food or a high-quality green powder (derived from food). Typically, green powders are more easily absorbed than multivitamins.
Nourish Your Body
Superfoods, like matcha, are high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help support immune function, promote energy levels, and aid in weight management, all while reducing signs of aging.
Supercharge Your Diet
Previous generations ate a wider variety of foods than we do — approximately 20 different species per day, leading to more micronutrients and phytonutrients. If you're not eating 20 different foods per day, a nutritious green powder can help you get there.
Combat Declining Nutrients
Over the last several decades, modern farming methods (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) have depleted the nutrients from the topsoil, producing less nutritious fruits and vegetables than in our grandparent's time, but green powders can help fill these gaps.
How To Use A Green Powder
Green powders are the best way to cover all your nutritional bases in one simple scoop. Many people enjoy mixing it with their morning glass of water, tea, or smoothie.
The combination of superfoods and gut-boosting probiotics can elevate your health and meet your food diversity goal. This simple morning ritual helps customers stay consistent with their green powder intake, producing the best results.
What To Look For In A Green Powder
- Chlorella: Powerhouse Algae
Nutrient-dense algae containing high iron and protein content. Chlorella also supports normal blood pressure levels. - Rhodiola: Resilience Boost
An adaptogenic plant with energy and mood-boosting properties and helps promote resiliency in stressful situations. - Matcha: Think Clearer
Matcha contains both caffeine and l-theanine to promote energy without the jitters. It's loaded with antioxidants, tastes great, and supports heart, liver, and brain health. - Pre+probiotics: Gut Health
Gut health plays a powerful role in immune health and weight management. Helps promote the spread of good bacteria in your gut. - Lion’s Mane: Brain Health
Lion's Mane is used to help strengthen the connection between existing brain cells to support focus and memory. - Functional Mushrooms
Functional mushrooms have many benefits – ranging from being used to help strengthen the connection between existing brain cells to support focus and memory, boosting exercise performance and physical stamina.
What To Avoid
- Skip Cereal Grasses
Many top brands use cereal grasses to add more quantity to their servings, however, cereal grasses such as wheatgrass, barley, oat, or rye cannot be properly digested by our stomachs. These grasses contain lectins that can cause occasional digestive issues, particularly for people who are gluten-sensitive. - Bypass Fruit Powder
Fruit is usually high in sugar. Consuming too much of it in a green powder without fiber can cause your blood sugar levels to spike. Not to mention coming off a sugar high can leave you feeling drained
What Else To Consider
- Quality Over Quantity
The more ingredients in a formula the higher the chance those ingredients could counteract another ingredient. In which case, you'll be paying for extra ingredients that don't have much impact. When it comes to ingredients it's usually better to have quality over quantity. - Real Results Take Time
It's important to know that dramatic changes to your health won't happen overnight. It can take months for significant effects to take place. Month three is when many people report seeing a “night and day” difference in their energy levels, immunity, and digestion. So if you want the full effect of a green powder then stick with it for at least three months to feel real results. - Great Taste, Zero Sugar
One of the best parts about high-quality green powders: they taste great! Find one with rich, robust natural flavors from xylitol, monk fruit, or stevia. These sweeteners taste good and have zero sugar. - Satisfaction Guarantee
On top of letting you shop around for the perfect detox blend, a full satisfaction guarantee demonstrates a company’s faith in its product. The longer the guarantee, the better. Look for satisfaction guarantees for at least 90 days.

- Mushroom complex
- Adaptogens
- Chlorella
- Tastes like matcha
- Reasonably priced at $39.99
- Displays ingredient dosages
- 365-day money-back guarantee

Beyond Greens contains 14 superfood ingredients but the stars are matcha to help with energy and overall health, the patented probiotic lactospore® for optimal gut health, Rhodiola Crenulata for energy, and fighting stress. It also includes 4 different kinds of mushrooms for overall health.
This was one of the only products that we could verify had no hidden additives, fillers, or artificial ingredients, while everything that's in there is highly bioavailable. It was also one of the only green powders that had their product third-party tested.
They have a reasonable price point at $39.99. Additionally, their return policy was topnotch — a comprehensive, 365-day, risk-free, money-back guarantee, proving the company stands behind its products. This was a huge advantage versus the competition, along with total effectiveness projections that rivaled any other powder we found.

OVERALL GRADE
PROS
- Probiotics
- Mushroom complex
- Adaptogens
- Chlorella
- Pleasant taste
- 60-day Refund Policy
CONS
- Contains cereal grasses
- Too many ingredients
- Proprietary blend (can't see dosages)
- High price point at $132
Bottom Line
Athletic Greens formulated their product with a whopping 75 ingredients to nourish with the essential micronutrients you need to feel great. This includes milk thistle to detox, a probiotic for gut health, and adaptogens — including Rhodiola Rosea, chlorella, reishi & shiitake mushroom powder.
They have a lot of other great ingredients, but it's difficult to know if any of them are in the correct dosages since they are behind a proprietary blend. Most customers have said that it has a pleasant taste.
Like Live Conscious, they check all the boxes, however, they fall just shy of being great because of their high price point of $132.
Beyond that, Athletic Greens offers a comprehensive 60-day return policy so that everyone can try their products completely risk-free.
For all these reasons, Athletic Greens ranks number 2 on our list.

PROS
- Prebiotics
- Functional mushrooms
- Reasonably priced at $45
CONS
- No chlorella, rhodiola, or matcha
- Contains cereal grasses
- No probiotics
- Proprietary blend
- 8 grams sugar
- 30-day return policy
Bottom Line
Grüns is formulated with a proprietary blend that includes prebiotics and a few functional mushrooms. However, it does contain cereal grasses, 8 grams of sugar, and lacks key ingredients like matcha, rhodiola, & chlorella.
While some customers do enjoy Grüns, many have issues with gummies because of the added fillers, less bioavailable nutrients, unreliable dosing, and synthetic vitamins.
Many users do enjoy the taste and the convenience of a prepackaged gummy, but do wish they could get a higher dose to meet their daily greens needs.
Potential customers should also take into account that Grüns has a short 30-day refund policy on unopened items.

- Antioxidants
- Reasonably priced at $39.96
CONS
- No matcha or probiotics
- Contains cereal grasses
- Proprietary blend
- 15-day return policy
Bottom Line
While customer do enjoy Kiala Greens, its formula does lack key ingredients we would want in a green powder. Since it doesn't include matcha, rhodiola, pre & probiotics, or cordyceps, we couldn't place this higher on our list.
Many users do enjoy the taste and felt this product elevated their health and contributed to their weight management.
Potential customers should also take into account that Kiala has a short 15-day refund policy on unopened items plus a restocking fee.

- Probiotics
- Adaptogens
- Chlorella
- Reasonably priced at $39.99
CONS
- Contains cereal grasses
- No mushrooms
- Proprietary blend
- Contains fruit powder

Bottom Line
Coming in at number 5 on our list is Greens & Superfoods by Bloom. This product is formulated with probiotics, chlorella, adaptogens, and loads of fruit and vegetable extracts.
However, this formula hits its ceiling very quickly due to some key missing ingredients like rhodiola or any sort of mushrooms.
It's reasonably priced at $39.99 but their refund policy leaves much to be desired at just15 days.
