Have you heard of Athletic Greens?
I’ve tried a lot of powders over the years. Some tasted like lawn clippings. Others made wild claims and delivered nothing. But this one? This one stuck.
Before we get started, I want you to know that AG1 is the same thing as Athletic Greens. So if you see me use both names here, just know I’m talking about the same scoop of green goodness that’s sitting in my kitchen right now.
If you’re on the fence or just wondering if the hype is real, here’s my honest take and a few things I wish someone had told me when I first hit “subscribe.”
This is the ONE supplement I actually have stuck with!

If you have any additional questions, leave them in the comments below.
Athletic Greens, Product Overview
I researched before ordering some, and I will say it’s all been positive.
There are many reviews online, and I will try just cutting out the BS and getting to the good stuff. Feel free to skip around or visit their website to learn more.
Not only are there many positive reviews, but I sent their team a few emails about additional questions I had. They were awesome!
And they even sent me a free sample of their product!
I received my sample pack within a few days. Instead of drinking it immediately, I had my first glass the next morning.
If you read their website, they suggest having it first thing and definitely before coffee.
What’s Actually in This Stuff?
If you are at all interested, you can read all about it here, but some of the stuff in every serving includes:
- Prebiotics for gut health
- Digestive enzymes and probiotics
- 75 whole-food sourced ingredients
- Functional mushrooms (yes, really)
- Adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola
- Vitamins and minerals (think C, E, B12, Zinc, Magnesium)
We will get to the cost in a minute, but just know you’re giving your body what it’s obviously craving. And with all the stuff listed above, you can stop taking other supplements.
Well, besides maybe allergy medicine during the summer, but that’s it.
How It Tastes and Mixes (No Blender Needed)
This was the biggest surprise for me, you know that AG1 actually tastes good!
It’s got a slight pineapple‑vanilla vibe going on. Not too sweet. Not too earthy. Think green juice without the weird grit.
I just shake mine with cold water and toss it back first thing in the morning. It mixes easily and goes down clean. No clumps, no sludge, no blender required.
What I Felt First (And What Took Time)
As someone who normally needs coffee first thing in the morning, I decided to give AG1 a big test. I drink it first thing in the morning and then wait an hour or so BEFORE coffee!
If you know me, you know that sounds crazy. But it’s true. I also noticed overall less brain fog (which is great in the morning because I can get some writing done before work), better digestion, and even more stable energy with no spikes or crashes
After about two weeks, my cravings were down, and I was sleeping better. Again, I don’t skip coffee, but I don’t need it like I used to.
Now AG1 is part of my morning ritual, right next to stretching and a quick walk.
Who is AG1 For?
Before anything else, I’m not a doctor. So make sure to check the ingredients and decide if AG1 is something that works for you. And yeah, this should go without saying, but don’t take it if you’re allergic to anything in it.
With all that out of the way, you might wonder if this product is for you.
Some of you out there have allergies or intolerances to nuts, gluten, sugar, dairy, and eggs. Well, rest assured, Athletic Greens are free from all of that!
I started drinking AG1 because, maybe like you, I was tired of taking multiple multivitamins daily. I also wanted a better way to get a jump start on my day (not to mention getting in my daily veggies is a plus).
You’ll love AG1 if:
-
- You don’t eat enough veggies
- You travel a lot and want simple nutrition
- You’re tired of swallowing five different pills every day
- You want to support your gut, immunity, and energy naturally
You might skip it if:
-
- You already eat a super‑clean, whole‑food diet and love your supplement routine
- The price feels steep (we’ll talk about that below)
- You’re not into subscription models
With everything I review, I want to share everything I see (the good and the bad).
AG1 doesn’t show exact dosages for every ingredient, which is common with proprietary blends. That said, they publish every ingredient on the label, it’s third‑party tested, and their team is upfront about what’s inside.
Some Things To Keep In Mind
There are always both good and not-so-good aspects to every product. And AG1 is no different.
As I like to always share my honest opinions and reviews, here are some additional things to remember.
Some of the stuff I enjoy about Athletic Greens
The taste is unmatched
If you are like me, you have tried other green mixes on the market.
As I stated above, many of the other green drinks don’t taste great, leaving a grassy (or mint) taste in your mouth for hours on end.
Athletic Greens is far from it. It has an almost sweet taste that I enjoy every day. I now look forward to drinking my Greens every morning.
Easy to use
Not only does this product taste great, but it’s so easy to use.
This is what I do:
-
- Grab the AG1 shaker
- Add in about 10-12 oz of cold water
- Take a scoop of the Green powder and dump it into the shaker
- Screw on the lid
- Then shake it up
As you shake it up, you will see how fast this powder mixes with the water.
It’s nice because I’ve used other powders in the past that do not mix this well, and you get clumps while you are trying to drink it.
Communication
They are called the Athletic Greens’ customer happiness team, and I think they do an outstanding job.
When I originally called, all my questions were answered, and they even shipped me travel samples for FREE!
Customer service is essential for any business, especially when you pay a lot for a product. But this team is amazing, as when I first called, I wasn’t even a paying customer yet!
Yep, nothing is perfect, but it can be close
It’s sometimes difficult to find negative things about a product. Especially when you really like it and decide to subscribe.
If I had to pick two things, the first would be that this product is pricy. I do have an offer for you (if you’ve already clicked the link above, you might already know, but just wait, it’s a good one!)!
The second thing is only if you travel and enjoy going on adventures. That leads me to say that the Greens must be refrigerated after opening.
As you can imagine, this is generally easy, but if you are on a road trip, plane, or backpacking trip, this will not be easy. The solution I have found would be purchasing the travel packs.
You can purchase the individual packets (the same ones you get when you get your free sample), but they cost a bit more per serving.

The Offer I Wish I Had When I First Signed Up
Okay, I’m so excited to share this with you all. This is where things get good. If you use my ambassador link, here’s what you’ll get:
- One month supply of AG1
- A welcome kit with a canister, shaker, and scoop
- A 30‑day supply of Omega‑3 fish oil
- A bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 (essential if you’re indoors a lot)
- 10 FREE travel packs (perfect for camping, road trips, or your gym bag)
Also, if you decide to sign up, you will get additional discounts on subscription plans. And rest assured, you can easily cancel anytime.
Let’s be real. This is an amazing offer and I’m so happy I get to share it with you!
What Does AG1 Cost?
AG1 runs around $79/month with a subscription. That breaks down to about $2.63 a day. I know, that’s more than a Costco multivitamin, but remember:
- You’ll remember to actually take it
- You will start to feel the difference
- It replaces multiple supplements
You might even spend more than this on coffee in a week. At least with AG1, you’re investing in something that helps you show up better every day.
Quick note: If you decide to order AG1 monthly, be sure to order 60 days at a time. It’s a little cheaper as you pay the same shipping regardless of the purchase amount.
Just for fun, this is something I was sent recently, free!

Is AG1 Worth It? Final Thoughts
For me? 100 percent yes.
For many years now, AG1 has helped me stay consistent with nutrition, even when I’m on the road. It replaced a cabinet full of bottles and powders I wasn’t using. And that small morning ritual helps set the tone for everything else.
And yes, I actually look forward to drinking this in the morning, never thought I would say that.
You don’t need to overhaul your life to feel better. Sometimes, you just need a scoop and a shaker.
Try it out. See how you feel. And if you end up loving it, let me know. I’d love to hear your story.

It is clear you like this product [Athletic Greens]!
So nice to get an honest review from a “real” person.
I am not able to use this product [due to allergies with some ingredients], but I can testify watching you enjoy the flavor!
Cheers!
Considering I just woke up, and the first thing I do is make my Athletic Greens. I’d say it’s now part of my morning routine.
And yeah, have I mentioned it has a delicious flavor?
Hi Eric,
Thanks for sharing your review of Athletic Greens. I have tried a few different powdered supplements, but have always found them to have a bad taste, even after mixing them with juice, or coffee or any other flavoured beverage. It’s nice to hear that Athletic Greens can be mixed with just water! This makes it simple!
I have been taking multivitamins for years, and I would certainly be interested in trying Athletic Greens and getting away from multivitamins altogether. Thanks for your thorough review of this product, as well as how to get it a little cheaper. I will be trying out the free sample.
Thanks,
Jenny.
Hi, again Jenny!
I cannot believe how much I have enjoyed Athletic Greens. It still is funny how I look forward to them in the morning (even before my coffee). There are days I don’t even need coffee anymore! Which is genuinely mind-blowing.
You will not be disappointed with giving AG a try. After you get them, I would love to hear what you think.
Thank you for the very comprehensive review on Athletic Greens. I have used a similar product and you are correct, the taste and after taste is really disgusting. You know as you mix it up how bad its going to taste and believe me I have tried a wide variety of things to mix the greens with.
If you are still interested in trying out a “green drink,” I suggest giving Athletic Greens a try. I’m still impressed with how quickly it dissolves, and the taste is the best I have come across.
Does it contain some sort of protein and is it safe to use amongst people who compete in sports? There are many supplements today that are seen as illegal because they help you perform better in sports. I have not heard of this product before so I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.
I haven’t seen anything saying that Athletic Greens is bad for athletes. I would suggest going to their website to get a better answer. They have an outstanding customer support team there that I’m sure will be more than willing to help.
As for the protein, I have seen people mix AG with protein powder. As for me, I keep my protein smoothing separately. AG does not have any protein in it.
Overall, I would say think of AG as a way for your body to get the extra nutrients it needs for activities you are doing. I have been drinking it daily for a while now and have to say I feel a lot better overall, and there are days I sometimes forget to make coffee :-).
I first came across athletic green 6 to 7 months ago and I have been using it since then the products are amazing and I love the benefits since I have been taking athletic green I have not visited a hospital for once and my energy is consistent throughout the day it made me eat right. i Love the slight sweetness it offers and can tell a difference with my energy level.
Hi Micheal, thanks for the comment!
It’s great hearing that others enjoy Athletic Greens as much as I do. Take care.
