This is a review. Click here to visit Athletic Greens

Athletic Greens has been touted as the be all and end all of green superfood drinks. So much so that the guys at Athletic Greens are convinced that simply calling it a kind of ‘Greens Formula’ does not do justice, that it should be treated as ‘The Ultimate Nutritional Insurance’.

I noticed one thing though, many Athletic Greens ‘reviews’ are more like endorsements, with only a few true, honest ‘reviews’.

Now, I’m generally healthy with no serious ailments like gout or diabetes (thank goodness!). So while I can’t make claims about recovery from such ailments, I appreciate quality and as always, want to put all the confusing information available out there into perspective.

I hope that by doing a proper review and comparison I can help you make an informed decision.

Here are the stars for today:

Healthforce Vitamineral Green
Green Vibrance
Amazing Grass: Green Superfood
Athletic Greens
The products used for this comparison were mentioned in my other post, Top 3 Athletic Greens Alternatives. They were chosen because of their generally popularity and reputation for being some of the best green drinks in the market.

There’s one thing I won’t do however, which is to go into a ingredient by ingredient comparison as it would confuse and overcomplicate things because of the sheer number of ingredients and overlaps. I’ll do a general feel for it instead and highlight certain aspects when it’s called for.

Let’s get to it then. I’ll break the whole review down into these categories:

Overall Conclusion

1. Ingredients

Dosage

Vitamineral Green
1 table spoon per serving, though there’s no indication of how many grams that is. I’d expect this to be about 9-12grams per tablespoon because it feels like the 12grams of the other products and is very finely ground, the finest amongst the 4 I believe. I don’t know what came over me one day but I decided to take it without mixing it in water. I choked for about 2 minutes because it was up my nose and down my throat. So, yea, it’s very fine. Not as palatable as milo powder, straight from the can though.

Green Vibrance
1 tablespoon per serving at 12grams each. A measured spoon is provided for convenience.

Amazing Grass: Green Superfood
1 tablespoon per serving at 8grams each. This has the coarsest powder amongst the 4, probably explains why you get less per tablespoon. A measured spoon is also provided.

Athletic Greens
1 tablespoon per serving at 12grams each.
