Beyond Greens™ vs AG1®
Battle of the Brands: Which Product Deserves a Spot in Your Routine
I’m always on the hunt for simple health hacks that actually work—because let’s be real, between work, errands, and life, it’s hard to hit every mark on the nutritional checklist.
I decided to try and compare AG1® and Beyond Greens™, to see which one would be my new go-to. I’ve done the homework—so you don’t have to.
I narrowed it down to 3 main areas that were the most important to me when deciding which product to stick with.
✅Benefits & Ingredients
✅Price
✅Taste & Texture
Taste over everything?
Benefits & Ingredients
What You'll Get From Both Products
✅ Superfood nutritional support
✅ Energizing adaptogens
✅ Immune system benefits
✅ Detoxification support
✅ Gut health benefits
✅ Probiotics & prebiotic fiber
✅ Functional mushrooms
AG1®
Pros:
✅ Comprehensive multivitamin blend
✅ Includes fruits & vegetables
✅ Contains digestive enzymes
Cons:
❌ Uses a proprietary blend to keep ingredient dosages hidden
❌ Contains synthetic vitamins & minerals
❌ 50 calories per serving
❌ Too much vitamin E and other nutrients (exceeds recommended daily amounts)
❌ Contains soy
AG1 adds a wide range of vitamins and minerals to their formula, making it a great multivitamin. However, one thing that irks me is that due to their “proprietary formula” they don’t disclose specific amounts of each ingredient. For example, I knew I wanted chlorella in my daily drink but AG1 doesn’t say how much you are getting in each scoop.
I even tried to estimate how much of each ingredient could be in every dose. Once you do the math, it’s likely a lot of them are included in very small, possibly insignificant amounts.
Beyond Greens™
Pros:
✅ Comprehensive, nutrient-dense blend
✅ No hard to digest cereal grasses
✅ Doesn’t contain synthetic vitamins or minerals
✅ Only 10 calories per serving
✅ Doesn’t include any major allergens
✅ Provides herbal immune support
✅ Easy to digest, bloat-free formula
Cons:
❌ Not a multivitamin formula
❌ Contains caffeine (5 mg)
One thing I noticed right away is that the makers of Beyond Greens are open and transparent about their dosages and the exact amount of each ingredient you get in every scoop. They rely on whole foods such as chlorella and functional mushrooms to deliver benefits rather than the synthetic nutrients that are found in AG1.
They also emphasize the digestibility of their formula, which is really important to me because I don’t want to end up bloated and miserable!

It’s no secret that AG1 is pricey.
I’m all for going premium when it comes to supporting my health, but with their hidden dosages and synthetic ingredients, it makes me wonder if it’s really worth the expensive price tag.
Beyond Greens is obviously a more affordable option, and since you can return it for up to a year if you don’t like it, there’s no risk in giving it a try.
Taste and Texture Breakdown: Which One Tastes the Best?
This is really what it’s all about, right? If you don’t enjoy it, you won’t stick with it, and it won’t do you much good!
This is my take on the flavor but everyone’s taste buds have their own opinion, so hopefully my experience can help you find the right choice for you.
AG1®
Flavor & mixability highlights
- Grassy and earthy
- Sweet and fruity
- Requires vigorous stirring
- A bit gritty
If you like super sweet, fruity flavors, this one’s for you.
When I first tried AG1, I wasn’t sure what to expect flavor-wise, but it definitely leans toward earthy, with fruity undertones. It’s a bit grassy and too sweet for me. It’s not the worst, but it’s not exactly something I’d crave every morning either. As for dissolvability, even with vigorous stirring, there was still a gritty texture that made it less enjoyable to drink. It quickly settled to the bottom and I kept having to stir it as I was drinking it.
Beyond Greens™
Flavor & mixability highlights
- Matcha flavor with notes of cinnamon
- Not grassy!
- Mixes easily
- Smooth texture
- Many ways to enjoy
If you enjoy matcha and want something versatile, you’re going to love this one.
I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of Beyond Greens. It’s got a subtle matcha taste with notes of cinnamon, which is a combination I found very delightful. It’s not grassy at all, and not overly sweet, with a smooth and balanced flavor profile. It mixes easily and dissolves without leaving clumps or grit behind. I tried it with some whipped oat milk like a matcha latte and it was divine!
I also saw on their website that you can bake with Beyond Greens, make smoothies, add to pancakes and cookies, or sprinkle it into yogurt, oatmeal, and chia pudding. I like the idea of mixing it up in different ways to get some variety!
The clear choice in my book? Beyond Greens™
Beyond Greens hits all the right notes without the overwhelming complexity—or the extravagant price tag. It’s a gut-friendly way to pack in powerful nutrition, delivering the targeted benefits I know my body craves.
Plus I will take a delicious matcha flavor over the taste of grass and grit any day of the week! A matcha latte and wellness all at once? Yes, please!
