Our verdict

Amazing Grass is the sensible budget pick: a real dose of dried greens, a named probiotic strain and a price that undercuts premium powders by two-thirds. It will not replace a multivitamin, its blends are proprietary, and it lacks a sport or contaminant certification. Choose it if you want an inexpensive greens boost for smoothies and can live with an earthy taste.

Best for

  • Budget shoppers who want a simple greens powder
  • Smoothie drinkers who can mask an earthy taste
  • People who prefer greens from food rather than added vitamins

Skip it if

  • Anyone wanting a full multivitamin in one scoop
  • Athletes who need NSF or Informed Sport certification
  • People on warfarin without clinician guidance (57% DV vitamin K)

Our review

Amazing Grass Super Greens The Original, sold for years as Greens Blend Superfood, is a straightforward greens powder rather than an all-in-one multivitamin. Each 8 g scoop provides 30 calories, 2 g of fiber and 2 g of protein, with 100% of the Daily Value for vitamin C and 57% for vitamin K coming from the plants themselves rather than added vitamins.

The core is a 5.4 g Green Food Blend of organic wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spinach, spirulina, chlorella and broccoli, plus a 1.4 g Antioxidant Blend (acerola, rose hips, goji, acai, beet root and others) and a 620 mg fiber blend of flax seed and apple pectin. Unlike many rivals, it names its probiotic strain and dose: Bacillus subtilis DE111 at 1 billion CFU, a spore-forming strain with published human research. The blends are still proprietary, so individual amounts are unknown, but the greens blend is larger than in most flavored competitors.

Quality signals are mixed. The brand says its Super Greens are Kosher certified, gluten testing is confirmed by a third party and products are made under GMP standards, but there is no NSF or Informed Choice certification, and the Amazon listing carries a California Prop 65 warning for lead.

Value is the standout: $28.49 for 30 servings from the brand (about $0.95 a scoop) and often less, where it has more than 50,000 ratings averaging 4.5 stars. Buyers praise the price and mixability; taste is the main split, with some finding it mild and others grassy or unpleasant in water.

Questions buyers ask

Is Super Greens the same product as Amazing Grass Greens Blend Superfood?
Yes. Amazing Grass says Greens Blend Superfood is now called Super Greens. The current label lists a 5.4 g Green Food Blend, a 1.4 g Antioxidant Blend, a 620 mg fiber blend and Bacillus subtilis DE111. Older Amazon listings still describe digestive enzymes and a different probiotic, so check the panel on the tub you receive.
Does Amazing Grass contain lead?
The Amazon listing carries a California Prop 65 warning that the product can expose you to lead, a warning several greens powders in our database also carry. Amazing Grass does not hold a named third-party contaminant certification such as NSF, so pregnant users and anyone minimizing heavy-metal exposure should discuss it with a clinician.
How should I take Amazing Grass to make it taste better?
The brand suggests one 8 g scoop in 8 to 12 fl oz or more of water, juice or a smoothie. Reviewers generally find the Original mild but grassy in plain water and much easier to drink blended into fruit smoothies or juice; flavored versions such as Berry and Chocolate are sweeter alternatives.
