In fact, they may even contain unlabeled ingredients. Despite this lack of transparency, the health supplement market is booming. To help pin down the best, most trustworthy green powders that do what they claim and also taste good, I've spoken with dietitians and tried options from popular brands. While greens powders aren’t harmful, they’re also expensive and not a silver bullet for pristine health. The dietitians with whom I spoke agreed that green powders won’t replace a healthy, varied diet. You need to eat your greens, plain and simple. But if you’re someone who doesn’t eat enough fruits and veggies, you and your health care provider may determine that certain greens powders may help bridge the nutritional gap. Your doctor can help you determine which nutrients you're lacking and assess whether a specific greens powder may help to supplement. After trying many greens powders (with my doctor's approval!), I have noticed better, smoother digestion; heightened energy levels; and a general sense of wellness. Is there a greens brand you want WIRED to try? Do you have one you swear by? Let me know in the comments below. Updated June 2026: I’ve added new greens powders from AG1, Daily Elements, and Nuzest. I’ve also removed some older picks and checked for accuracy throughout.

WIRED editor Kat Merck also drank Bloom for a long time. I’ve tried a few flavors of Bloom greens, including Strawberry Kiwi (a hit!), Mango (a huge miss!), and Pineapple (somewhere in the middle). I didn’t find it to be too sweet until I started trying powders from other brands for this guide. Only at that point did I find the flavors to be saccharine, leaving me with an artificial taste in my mouth, even if I dilute the powder with more water than the mixture calls for. It includes pre- and probiotics, fruits and veggies, antioxidants, adaptogens, and digestive enzymes. I did notice that Bloom’s powders helped me feel less bloated, and they helped regulate some of my digestive issues. I also like the tub packaging, which doesn’t take up too much room on my counter and is easier to use than bulky bags. Ultimately, if you don’t want your greens to taste like greens, Bloom is worth checking out.

Even so, I enjoyed the Wild Strawberry Kiwi flavor (fresh, sweet, bright) and the Ginger Peach flavor (spicy, sweet). Mixing the drinks did require some annoying cleanup because the scoop design has a little groove on the back that collects powder. To avoid a mess, I recommend storing the scoop outside of the powder bag. There are superfoods, vitamins, minerals, fiber (a nominal amount, but it’s there), antioxidants, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. The brand touts Alpha GPC (a form of choline), freeze-dried coconut water, and superfoods like various grasses and spirulina. I experienced higher energy levels, improved digestion, and less bloat after drinking Groove than I did with other greens powders I tried. These greens don’t taste like fruits or veggies at all, really. If you want your greens to taste more green, another brand might be a better option.

It’s almost unflavored, both the plain version and the Wild Berry version. The instructions aren’t super clear—the packaging says to add a scoop to juice, water, or milk. I mixed mine with 10 ounces of water and it was fine. It didn’t taste great and it didn’t taste bad. It’s vaguely earthy, a little sweet, but mostly neutral. Because of that, I think this is the best candidate for mixing into other drinks. You’ll get
