Are Greens Powders the Real Deal? Separating Superfood facts from marketing hype and why.

Greens Powder Power

In this episode, Jem and Donny dive into the world of green powders—what people expect from them, what’s inside, and whether the science stacks up.

We unpack results from our Greens Survey, review key studies, and look at how ingredients and pricing measure up in the real world.

👉 The bottom line: If your diet is poor, a greens powder won’t save you. If your nutrition is solid, it might give you an extra edge—but many are overpriced and underdosed.

Before you spend big, learn how to read the label and decide whether a greens powder is worth your money.
