The Best Greens Powder (2024)

Ingredients: Plant Protein Blend (Organic Pea Protein, Organic Hemp Protein, Organic Pumpkin Protein), Super Greens Blend (Organic Spirulina, Organic Wheatgrass, Organic Barley Grass, Organic Chlorella), Organic Coconut Milk Powder, Organic Vanilla Powder, Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Stevia Leaf Extract

Claimed Benefits: Sakara aims to combine plant protein and greens in one scoop. It derives its protein from USDA organic pea, hemp, and sesame seeds, and combines it with a blend of greens like chlorella, spirulina, and wheatgrass. The brand promises the concoction will help “detoxify your body, support healthy tissues, and keep you satisfied and energized.”

Form: Powder

Why We Love It: The greens blend in this one isn’t as “robust” as some of the others, Shapiro says. Still, she appreciates that Primal Greens includes a variety of ingredients, like “deep purple fruits and vegetables to promote circulatory health and cognitive function.” The product also contains pre- and probiotics to promote gut health, Shapiro says. And the adaptogenic mushrooms might help boost overall immunity and reduce stress. According to the product label, this greens powder is also very high in vitamins C, E, B12, and zinc. But Davis says not to “expect miracles”; the powder doesn’t offer enough of most of these ingredients to have any sort of major impact.

Taste + Texture: If you think the best tasting greens powder is one that doesn’t taste like green vegetables at all, Primal Greens might be the drink for you. This stuff was so sweet it reminded some reviewers of diet soda. That’s because it’s made with stevia, which is at least 50 times as sweet as sugar. The greens tasted almost imperceptible in this one; a boon for drinkers with a sweet tooth and the vegetable-averse but not so much for those who like their spinach to taste like spinach. Primal Greens would also be great in a smoothie made with more acidic fruits, like plums, pineapples, or citrus.

Claimed Benefits: Primal Harvest’s Primal Greens powder is made using an extensive blend of fruits and vegetables, like carrot, spinach, banana, beet, brussels sprouts, maitake mushroom, and wheatgrass. The brand says the product is good for “energy, immune support, and digestion.”
