Organifi green juice vs. Athletic Greens (AG1)

Sharing a full blog post showcasing the differences between Organifi green juice and AG1 and how I use them in my routine. 

Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re having a wonderful week. It’s been a good one over here, except for the fact that half of the family is sick with colds. I’m knocking on wood, eating whole cloves of garlic, and following my usual immune boost protocol (when family members are sick or I’ve been exposed). Some of the things I do are in this post – I need to update it!

I also have to give credit to a couple of things that I use in my routine that I think have helped keep my immune system strong: Organifi green juice and Athletic Greens (aka AG1). I use and love both of these, so I thought today I’d share some of the benefits of these amazing products, the differences, and compare them.

Organifi green juice vs. Athletic Greens (AG1)

Benefits of drinking a daily greens powder:

TBH, it can be really hard to get the nutrients we need from food alone. You have to be strategic about it, and this can be especially challenging if you’re juggling a lot of other things. A majority of us aren’t calculating our B2 needs throughout the day and if we’ve hit it, you know what I mean? A powder can help us fill in the gaps, especially with certain vitamins and minerals.

I LOVE greens powders like this because they often contain a mix of vitamins, minerals, superfoods, probiotics, and adaptogens, which can help our bodies to fight off damage from toxins and environmental exposure, improve immune health, restore gut function, and improve stress response.

The downside:

A majority of greens powders are disgusting. I’ve tried SO many, and a majority of them taste like you’re chewing on a tree. They’re bitter, earthy, chalky, and unpalatable. This can discourage so many people from adding green powder to their routine.

Here are two that I absolutely love! They source high-quality ingredients and put an extreme amount of care into creating these superfood powders.

They serve different purposes, they taste different, and you can choose which one you want to try, based on your goals and preferences. *As always, talk with a doctor before adding any new supplements to your routine. I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advice.

Organifi green juice features:

Organifi Green Juice is a blend of 11 superfoods, including chlorella, spirulina, and wheatgrass. It’s designed to help detoxify your body and boost your immune system, all while providing a burst of energy. This powder is perfect for busy women who need a quick and easy way to get their greens in on the go. Simply mix it with water and drink up!

Nutrients in Organifi:

Taste of Organifi green:

Sweet, a little minty with a hint of lemon. They also have a Crisp Apple flavor, which tastes like a real apple; not a Jolly Rancher. I like it, but prefer the original.

AG1 details:

AG1 is a superfood powder created by Athletic Greens. It contains 75 whole-food-sourced ingredients, including probiotics and digestive enzymes. This powder is designed to support gut health, aid digestion, and provide a natural energy boost. It’s perfect for women who want to optimize their overall health and wellness.

Ingredients in AG1:

Taste of AG1:

Not as sweet as Organifi Green, has more of a light pineapple flavor, and the texture is a little thicker (more like a vitamin/supplement drink than a juice). Use a frother to mix it up!

The main differences between AG1 and Organifi Green Juice:

So which one should you choose? It depends on your specific goals and needs. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of greens and boost your energy levels, Organifi Green Juice is a great choice. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a comprehensive superfood powder that supports gut health and overall wellness, AG1 is the way to go.

Both Organifi Green Juice and AG1 are great options for women who want to prioritize their health and fitness. They’re easy to incorporate into your daily routine and can provide a host of benefits. I love the taste of both of them and have noticed a positive difference in my energy levels since I added them to my routine.

How To Use Organifi Green Juice

I only take AG1 every 3-4 days or so. This is because it has SO MANY vitamins and nutrients and some I think would be a little too excessive to take every day. (It’s worth mentioning here that I did take it every day for about a month when I was first trying it out, and I felt AMAZING. I just don’t think it would be a good idea for me to do it for the very long term.) The thing with vitamins and supplements is that you need to phase them in order to feel the effects. It can also help to “teach” your body what it needs without depending on the supplement forever. Some supplements will lose their effectiveness over time. (I learned this the hard way lol. If you’re curious about more details, check out the book Dirty Genes; he does an excellent job of explaining this.)

On the other days, I take Organifi Green. This way, I’m rotating the nutrients a bit.

I drink both of these mixed into water, on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before breakfast.

Does Athletic Greens Have Caffeine?

So, is there caffeine in Athletic Greens? The answer is yes, but don’t sweat it just yet!

Athletic Greens contain a small amount of natural caffeine from matcha green tea, which is used to enhance energy and focus without the jittery feeling that can come from synthetic sources of caffeine. This means that you can still enjoy the many benefits of Athletic Greens, such as being a great source of vitamins sourced from organic ingredients and containing 7.2 billion probiotics, without worrying about overdoing it on the caffeine. Plus, it’s important to note that Athletic Greens also contain other ingredients such as coconut water and monk fruit, which can provide natural sources of energy and sweetness without caffeine. So don’t worry, you can still get your green superfood powder fix without having to sacrifice your caffeine preferences.

In comparison to Organifi Green Juice, Athletic Greens offer similar benefits with the added bonus of being made in a GMP-certified facility and having FDA approval. Additionally, Athletic Greens have a unique taste that many users prefer over the typical “green” Organifi taste. So there you have it- a little bit of caffeine from matcha green tea in Athletic Greens shouldn’t be a worry for you.
