Score: 93/100

Popular with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham and Cindy Crawford, AG1 is one of the best-selling greens powders on the market – and it’s just had a revamp with upgraded probiotic strains plus added vitamin and mineral sources like magnesium.

Made up of over 70 ingredients and certified by two third party organisations to ensure purity and potency, it aims to help boost energy and mental focus, support a healthy immune system and promote gut health. According to the brand, AG1 replaces the need to take multivitamin and probiotic supplements with one simple daily scoop.

It went down well with our panellists, who noticed some improvements after taking it for a month. “I felt good taking it in the mornings and I experienced less bloating,” said one. Another told us: “My mood and energy were more consistent, especially during a week of my menstrual cycle when I can feel more disrupted.”

Thy also approved of the flavour, with one telling us: “This is probably one of the best greens powders I’ve tried”. The texture earned mixed reviews, with some saying it blended nicely while others found it a tad grainy. You can easily use an electric whisk to ensure a smooth, lump-free beverage, though. AG1 earned bonus points for its sleek packaging and handy scoop for fuss-free measurements.

The expert verdict: According to our experts, AG1’s next gen formula is a good choice for “busy people looking for an all-in-one foundational health formula”. It features a blend of essential vitamins and minerals, high-potency probiotics, greens, adaptogens and phytonutrients to help fill nutritional gaps and support gut, immune and cognitive health. It’s not suitable for those who are pregnant, and it does contain stevia while can cause gas and bloating.

Free Soul’s viral greens powder, which packs in 21 greens and superfoods, has been specifically designed to “support female wellness”. Ingredients include KSM-66 Ashwagandha and maca for hormone support, Actazin® and Livaux® kiwi powders to aid digestion and a variety of greens, from chlorella and spirulina to alfalfa and wheatgrass, for overall wellness.

It proved popular with panellists, with one saying: “It’s been game changing for me, I’ve recommended it to friends”, while another commented: “I’ve noticed a big difference in my energy levels.”

Our testers tried the peach flavour, which went down well with most. They described it as sweet and fruity, without tasting too artificial. The fine powder was easy to scoop; however, it did need a good mix to dissolve fully – we recommend using a handheld frother to make life easier.

The expert verdict: Our experts thought the NRV range of between 12 – 217% was appropriate and they liked the inclusion of vitamin C to help increase the bioavailability of iron found in greens such as spinach, spirulina and wheatgrass. The ingredients are organic and there are no added sugars or artificial sweeteners. The greens are also derived from natural sources, but it’s important to keep in mind that the powder is processed.

As the name suggests, V80 contains a potent blend of 80 vitamins, minerals and whole food ingredients – including spirulina, chlorella, barley grass, pea protein isolate, a fistful of adaptogens like ashwagandha and reishi mushroom extract, and 11 pre and probiotics.

According to the brand, it’s a convenient way to keep your energy up, your immune system strong and your gut health balanced. Sure enough, our testers felt it gave them a boost, with one saying, “I noticed a pick-up in energy when I used this product.” In terms of gut health, improvements were also noted. “My digestion has taken a turn for the better and there has been no discomfort or bloating,” one panellist told us.

Flavour-wise, our food team said it wasn’t too overpowering, but slightly earthy, with hints of sweetness and nuttiness. The texture was thin and easy to drink, although there were a few unwanted lumps, so make sure you blend well before drinking.

The expert verdict: In terms of benefits, the experts highlighted the pre- and probiotic mix, which can help facilitate an increase in positive gut bacteria. They also noted that the vitamins included complement each other; for instance, vitamin D enhances the absorption of calcium. Additionally, the NRVs aren’t too high, so you can incorporate V80 as a supplement alongside your diet, without overdoing it on vitamins and minerals.

Up your greens intake and support your skin and joint health with this multitasking powder from JSHealth, which blends a host of superfoods, vitamins and MSC certified marine collagen (note, we tested it as a greens powder; check out our best collagen supplements roundup for our top buys if that's your priority).

Panellists rated the texture – it dissolved quickly in water and juice, with no grainy residue – and flavour. “It tastes amazing,” said one at-home tester, while our food team thought it was “mild and well balanced”.

It fared well on the performance front, too, with many testers commenting on improvements to their digestion, skin, joint health and even alertness. One told us it has given them “lots of energy” and another said: “I've noted a reduction in bloating”.

The expert verdict: This powder contains a good variety of greens – which are rich in essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants – along with inulin from chicory root, a type of soluble fibre that can support gut health. Thanks to the addition of marine collagen, our experts thought this was a good pick for anyone looking to focus on their skin and joint health.

Huel’s Daily Greens features a mega 91 vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, dairy-free probiotics and antioxidants. We’re talking spinach, cinnamon bark, cordyceps, faba bean protein, flaxseed and plenty more. The brand claims it will “fill any nutritional gaps in your diet,” helping to support a healthy immune system, maintain energy levels, promote healthy skin hair and nails and aid digestion.

Sounds impressive but how did it fare during our tests? Panellists gave positive feedback, with one saying, “I feel overall better and will continue to use this product”, and another noting that they felt better mentally, although they would need longer to confirm this was due to the powder.

Everyone liked the tropical, fruity taste, with many commenting that it was significantly nicer than other greens powders they’ve tried, so they felt motivated to keep using it. It earned bonus points for its smooth consistency and appealing green colour, too.

The expert verdict: For Foulsham and Chiltern, the ingredients list made up of mostly organic ingredients was a plus point. They also approved of the fibre content, which at 3.5g is the highest in this round-up, and noted the synergy between ingredients – vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron from the diet.

They did, however, highlight that some ingredients contain excessive amounts of NRV per serving. These are unlikely to be harmful, but they are unnecessary. The blend also contains small amounts of the sweetener sucralose, which has been shown to negatively impact gut health.

Score: 88/100

Protein Works is best known for its protein powders and pre-workout shakes, but the brand also has its very own greens blend, packed with 20 superfood ingredients to “enhance your immune system naturally while reducing fatigue and contributing to brain function.” These include spirulina, spinach and broccoli powder, match green tea, ginseng and ashwagandha, to name a few.

Unlike many greens, which only come in one flavour, this one stands out for the array of options to help mask any earthy vegetable taste. The brand recommends blending it with juice for an extra dose of sweetness. It scored highly for mixability with our panel, who also thought the flavour was fresh, sharp and sweet. Some found it a tad sickly, but you can't win 'em all.

One tester reported an improvement in their energy levels during the trial, but acknowledged this may be down to the placebo effect, while another thought it was a positive way to start their mornings but didn’t note any major health changes.

The expert verdict: Our experts rated the NRV range in this blend, describing it as “reasonable and realistic”. It will give you a boost in nutrients you may be lacking, but it’s not designed to replace a healthy balanced diet. It contains inulin, a prebiotic found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, which can help increase good gut bacteria. However, our experts noted that it also contains sucralose, an artificial sweetener that can can disturb digestion and cause bloating and gas.

Score: 87/100

Available in three flavours, including berry and original, we tried the pineapple and it was a hit with our panel. Made with a blend of eight superfoods, the brand claims it helps boost energy and support immunity thanks to key ingredients including baobab and wheatgrass.

According to our taste testers, the powder has a strong aroma, while the pineapple flavour masked any green powder taste. Whether mixed with water or blended into a smoothie, testers said it was quick to prepare, with one panel member telling us it “was easy to add to my routine”. The texture received top marks, although a couple of testers noted it took a while for the powder to dissolve, so give it a good stir before drinking.

Performance-wise, most panellists only noticed a slight increase in energy levels. However, the brand does suggest taking the green powder for six months to experience the full benefits.

The expert verdict: This green powder has no additives, which our nutritionist says makes it a very “clean formula”. The blend features spirulina, which she praised heavily, saying that the ingredient has evidence-backed health benefits, supporting heart health and helping to lower blood sugar levels. She added that it would be ideal for anyone who doesn’t eat enough greens and wants a simple, clean, organic daily top-up.

The brainchild of Aussie model Elle Macpherson, WelleCo is best known for its Super Elixir™, which packs over 40 naturally derived ingredients to deliver your daily dose of vitamins, minerals and probiotics - without any artificial colours or added sugars. The brand describes it as an “all-in-one greens powder that enhances energy, improves gut health and clears skin”.

Sure enough, some of our panellists noticed improvements to their hair, skin and nail health, while others found it helped for reducing bloating and boost energy levels. “It’s really working, and I absolutely love the product,” one satisfied tester told us, and another said: “I would highly recommend it in improving your overall health and wellbeing.” Not everyone experienced any noteworthy changes, though.

The flavour is fruity and natural – testers thought it was “refreshing” and “fantastic” – without tasting too sweet or artificial. It dissolved fairly well in water alone, but we recommend adding it your morning smoothie for best results.

The expert verdict: Not a bog-standard superfood powder, this one contains a host of hardworking ingredients, such as L-Glutamine for muscle recovery and linseed meal powder, which is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, for heart health. It also includes psyllium husk, which has gut health benefits and can help lower cholesterol. Just note, the high vitamin K content (from ingredients like wheatgrass and alfalfa) may not be suitable for those taking blood thinners. The addition of guar gum and acacia gum may cause digestive issues for some.

Bulk’s budget-friendly unflavoured blend contains just eight key greens: spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, pumpkin protein, alfafa, moringa, kale and spinach. The flavoured options also contain citric acid, natural flavourings and stevia for added sweetness.

Testers appreciated the clear instructions and said it was easy to mix. One tester noted improvements to their bloating and skin, and another said they liked knowing they were getting more veg in their diet. The consistency was good, but the taste didn’t go down so well with everyone – some thought it was too musty and difficult to drink, while others found it too sweet. On the plus side, they liked that it could be added to smoothies and soups to mask the flavour.

The expert verdict: Bulk Complete Greens is up there with the most natural options in this round-up, according to the nutritionists. It contains the fewest ingredients and the least synthetic ingredients, making it a decent way boost your green intake if necessary. It also offers a good hit of fibre (1.9g) and protein (3.2g) per serving. However, it loses points as there’s a lack of nutritional information available, including NRVs and the amount of each nutrient per serving.

Score: 84/100

This all-in-one superfood blend from Bettervits includes a variety of greens – from wheatgrass to kale – along with a healthy dose of vitamins, antioxidants, adaptogens and probiotics for gut support. It’s free from sugar and artificial sweeteners including stevia – a major plus point for our panellists.

They found the powder dissolved well in water, without clumps or gritty residue at the bottom of their glasses, and they appreciated the scoop for fuss-free measurements. They also said it tasted “unexpectedly good”, describing it as “clean and earthy without unnecessary sweetness”. If you have a big sweet tooth, though, it might not be right for you.

It fared well in terms of performance, with some noting improvements in their energy levels throughout the day. “I have certainly felt vey well and alert during the test period,” commented one panellist. Another said they found it helpful for filling the nutritional gaps in their diet.

The expert verdict: Not your basic greens powder, this one contains a nutrient-dense blend of organic greens, essential vitamins and adaptogens, plus probiotics and additions like apple cider vinegar and coenzyme Q10 to optimise nutrient absorption and digestion. Our experts described it as a “full spectrum greens product with gut health benefits.” Note, the blend contains several high fibre ingredients which could cause bloating.

Score: 83/100

Unlike most greens powders, which combine fruits and veggies, this one is made up of 100% certified-organic leafy greens – spinach, kale and spirulina and more – along with pea protein and pure stevia. Free from added sugar, artificial flavourings and preservatives, it’s a good choice if you’re after a lean, green drink to kickstart your mornings.

The flavour divided our panel - some enjoyed the “very green and natural” taste, while others thought it was a little too earthy. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. If you prefer something sweet, we recommend blending it up with some frozen fruit and yoghurt for a satisfying smoothie. This will also ensure you have a smooth, lump-free blend.

Testers noticed the benefits after consistently consuming the powder over a four-week period, with one panel member commenting: “It feels healthy and like it’s doing you good.” 33Fuel also earned bonus points for its funky packaging, which is resealable and fully recyclable. Plus, a portion of every purchase goes to One Tree Planted.

The expert verdict: The experts gave the NRV range (between 3% and 66%) their seal of approval and liked the fact that it’s made up of a handful of organic ingredients, which means it's one of the most natural options in this round-up. Along with a host of vitamins, including A, B12, E and K, the blend contains vitamin C to help absorb the iron. Just note, ingredients like chlorella and spirulina can cause bloating, gas and mild diarrhoea in some individuals.

Score: 83/100

Made with 25 green and fibre-rich foods, including wheatgrass, apple and spinach, this powder comes in pre-measured sachets for added convenience, which our panellists appreciated. The blend also includes vitamins, probiotics and prebiotics, which the brand claims will help enhance immune and gut health.

The peach flavour divided opinion, with one panel member finding it pleasant, while others found it too sweet. Some testers reported clumping when they added the powder to water, so give it a long stir or, better still, a vigorous shake in a leak-proof bottle. Many panellists said that after drinking the powder consistently for four weeks, they experienced less fatigue and felt more energised.

The expert verdict: This powder contains a “well-rounded formula that supports gut health and nutrient absorption,” according to our nutritionist. She added that the inclusion of spirulina, barley grass, kale, spinach and broccoli gives it a diverse range of phytonutrients and antioxidants. However, she explained that ingredients such as wheatgrass and chlorella, plus the addition of stevia, may “trigger bloating or other digestive symptoms in some people”.
