Anyone who has landed on this page probably heard of AG1 by Athletic Greens, right? This powder is rather expensive, so you are probably considering buying it or not. Okay, you probably already know that AG1 by Athletic Greens combines some of the most nutritious ingredients in just one scoop / shake. But what is it really? And is it really that healthy, or again just one of those “superfood marketing statements”? We take a closer look at the AG1 nutritional values by Athletic Greens!
This is one of the many benefits of the superfoods powder, which we ourselves are very excited about. But let’s look further, how it looks overall with the nutrients and the ingredients.
Greens Powder summary:
Athletic Greens nutritional values for AG1
First, we look at the calories and nutritional values of a daily AG1 dose of Athletic Greens.
12 grams of AG1 contained:
- 50 calories
- 6 g of carbohydrates
- 2,0 g protein
- 0,0 g fat
This is not yet a very exciting read. “Unfortunately” there is no fat in it, because this means that the ingredients are not always optimally absorbed. We asked the inventor of Athletic Greens:
Why is Omega 3 included in Athletic Greens? Here is the answer of Chris “The Kiwi” Ashenden: Athletic Greens Omega 3
AG1 ingredients
AG1 ingredients such as cocoa, green tea extract and carrot root powder make the Athletic Greens shake a natural energy supplier with a surprisingly sweet taste. These ingredients do not sound exciting at first, do they? I think I just found that in my kitchen… Well, not root extract, but carrots.
You have to try the taste of AG1 yourself, because it’s hard to describe and it’s not comparable to any other shake or powder! But to be clear: The taste of AG1 by Athletic Greens is really yummy! But to be honest: I can’t taste any of the ingredients. Cocoa or green tea? I can’t taste out of it. But as I said, AG1 has simply a new delicious taste! Read more about AG1 Athletic Greens taste
But that was only 3 of 75 ingredients of the AG1 powder. So what else is in it?
Coenzyme Q10 (for more energy and anti-aging)
This important vitamin-like substance is already contained in your body. It plays an important role in stimulating your cells and providing you with energy. Have you already included in your body? Huh?
Yes, but the older you get, the less your body can produce this coenzyme Q10. Surely you have held one of these Q10 face creams in your hand and told yourself that you don’t need it yet… At least I always have. The great thing about Q10 is that your body is already used to Q10 production. With the additional Q10 intake from Athletic Greens, the internal memory knows exactly how to store it for later times when you just feed it to it. So unlike other vitamins or minerals, the body can store the extra coenzymes very well, so you can get a good cushion. That sounds good, doesn’t it?
AG1 Spirulina by Athletic Greens
Spirulina (The secret star among the “strong superfood foods” for your health)
Spirulina seaweed and chlorella (also within AG1 by Athletic Greens) is unfortunately becoming more and more expensive due to the ever-increasing demand. Many process only minimal doses, just to keep the term in their ingredient list. This is not the case with AG1. Spirulina is the number one ingredient within each AG1 shake! In one shake portion you have all the relevant nutrients of Spirulina to supply you for the day! That’s how it should be and that’s the only way Superfood Greens makes sense for you!
But was Spirulina discovered only recently or is it an ancient and hitherto unrecognized food? What is spirulina anyway? It is a blue-green freshwater algae. Hmm… okay…
As is often the case, spirulina has been around for a very long time, and we have simply misjudged the power in this food. Many ancient cultures, like the Mayans, used it as one of their main food sources. Well, they are still extinct, but we don’t want to attribute this to spirulina…
Spirulina nutrients
If you look at all the nutrients that spirulina contains, you will understand why so many people think it is the “perfect food”:
Spirulina is about 60% protein. Otherwise, it contains many minerals like:
- Calcium
- magnesium (More information about AG1 magnesium
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Iron
- Chrome
- Copper
- Manganese
- Selenium
- Sodium
- Zinc
Not bad, huh? Then Spirulina contains vitamin B group, C and E in a composition ideal for the human body!
That’s it? Nah, it’s got essential fatty acids and amino acids, botanicals, chlorophyll. All in all Spirulina is a detox miracle, which fortunately is not used sparingly in AG1 by Athletic Greens!

acerola cherry is also contained in the wonder powder. Again such a thing which one has already heard however nevertheless does not know exactly what it is actually… Here in the point what you must know about it:
The acerola cherry contains the most natural and for humans the most usable form of vitamin C that exists. Do you already get enough vitamin C?
A recently published study has shown that today you would have to eat 8 oranges a day to get enough vitamin C. For our grandparents one more orange a day was enough! But we do not want to talk about the consequences of globalization and overpopulation now?
In your opinion, does it still matter because vitamin C is added to all food?
WRONG again!
The so-called “vitamin C” that you find in supermarkets is an industrially produced chemical substitute that cannot be compared to natural products because your body cannot use it as well.
As I said, the acerola cherry is pumped full of good vitamin C and botanicals to turn your body’s immune system into a tank!
It’s true, one serving of AG1 is equivalent to 12 servings of fruit and vegetables a day!
But what does that mean for the body? That’s what we’ve been looking at in the AG1 side effects by Athletic Greens.

Athletic Greens Vitamin D3?
There is one small point of criticism after all. The vitamin D and K content in the body cannot be optimized with the Greens powder. Reason: Vitamin D and K are fat-soluble vitamins and can therefore not be integrated in a powder.
If possible, you should therefore make sure that you integrate foods with vitamin D into your everyday life or you use a specific supplement just for that.

AG1 Beard by Athletic Greens
A little story by the way, which I don’t want to withhold from you: My son has already pointed out to me several times that I have an “Athletic Greens beard”… that means two green spots on my upper lip…But honestly: I think a Hulk beard is cooler than a milk beard or what do you think? I always give my son a small portion of the shake. But not too much: He is in kindergarten and has never been sick. Whoever has children knows how almost impossible that is.
NOT included in AG1
Here is a short note about what is NOT included in Athletic Greens:
No harmful chemicals, artificial colours, artificial flavours, preservatives, artificial sweeteners and no added sugar.
The list goes on.
Athletic Greens also contains NO GMOs (genetically modified organisms), alcohol, herbicides, pesticides, wheat, dairy products, gluten, corn, lactose, sucrose, dextrose, egg, cholesterol, yeast, salt, peanuts or animal products.
It’s sad, but you can see from this that even the omission of ingredients is something very special these days. Athletic Greens fortunately feels all these conditions! In other words, AG1 by Athletic Greens is suitable for just about everyone!
AG1 best price
Since I have been convinced of Athletic Greens for quite some time now, I highly recommend AG1 by Athletic Greens because it is the best product I have ever tried!! Even if the price seems high at first, it is cheaper than a cup of coffee a day… And coffee contains only roasted coffee beans in case of doubt… And how much healthier this shake is in comparison to coffee, I don’t think we have to question now, do we?
