We read the current published labels of four greens powders, and the clearest finding was how little they declare. Orgain Supreme Greens lists exactly one vitamin, Naked Super Greens lists four nutrients with none above 3% DV, and Ora Organic lists six between 3% and 10% DV. One 8 oz SaladPower pouch is 5 to 6 cups of vegetables, roughly 2x the recommended daily vegetable intake, and declares 100% DV vitamin A, 30% DV iron, 20% DV vitamin C, 15% DV potassium and 5 g of fiber, against 1 g to 2 g of fiber per scoop across those four powders.

Most articles comparing these two things compare a category to a brand and leave the labels out. Below are the actual panels, transcribed from each company's own product page, so you can see what a scoop contains before anyone tells you what it means.

Four greens powder labels, compared

These four were chosen because each publishes a complete supplement or nutrition facts panel on its own website. All figures are per one scoop as the manufacturer defines it. SaladPower is shown per 8 oz pouch, which is one serving per container.

Per serving	SaladPower (8 oz pouch)	Amazing Grass Super Greens Original (8 g)	Orgain Supreme Greens Lemon Twist (8 g)	Ora Organic Greens Powder Citrus (8 g)	Naked Super Greens (7 g)
Calories	90	30	30	30	25

Cost per serving	$6.21 to $9.00	$0.95	$1.33	$1.50	$0.91

Two things in that table are worth pausing on, because they cut against how this category is usually described.

These greens powders are not multivitamins. The common claim that a greens powder blankets you in a wide roster of added vitamins did not hold up against the four labels we read. Orgain's Supreme Greens declares exactly one vitamin, vitamin C at 27% DV, and nothing else. Naked Super Greens declares four nutrients, none above 3% DV. Ora declares six, ranging from 3% to 10%. Amazing Grass declares the most at seven, but only vitamin C reaches 100% DV and only vitamin K exceeds 20%. These are food-derived greens blends, not fortified formulas. A SaladPower pouch, which adds nothing at all, still declares vitamin A at 100% DV, iron at 30% and vitamin C at 20% because that is what six whole vegetables and fruits carry.

Fortified powders that add a broad roster of micronutrients to a scoop do exist, and the best known one is covered in detail in SaladPower vs. AG1. Fortification is a choice a particular brand makes rather than a property of the category, so you have to read the panel to know which kind you are holding.

A scoop is small. An 8 g scoop is about a rounded teaspoon and a half of dried powder. Three of the four labels break that scoop into named blends, which lets you see how little of it is what you probably picture. Ora is the most transparent about this and the most instructive: of its 8 g scoop, 4.8 g is the Alkalizing Grass Blend of barley grass, wheat grass, alfalfa and oat grass, while just 1.6 g is the Alkalizing Greens Blend that contains the spinach, kale, broccoli and cabbage. Cereal grasses outweigh vegetables three to one. Amazing Grass declares a 5.4 g Green Food Blend, and Orgain a 4 g Greens and Superfoods Blend spanning roughly seventy-five listed ingredients.

The fiber gap is the actual difference

Across the four labels, dietary fiber ranged from 1 g to 2 g per serving, with a median of 1.5 g. One 8 oz SaladPower pouch contains 5 g, which is 18% DV and a good source under FDA labelling rules. That gap is not incidental to how these products are made. Drying and milling produce shelf stability, and the scoop size that follows leaves little room for the bulk that fiber occupies.

Some of the fiber the powders do carry is added rather than intrinsic to the vegetables. Amazing Grass lists inulin from chicory root among its other ingredients and declares a separate 620 mg Fiber Blend of flax seed and apple pectin. Naked lists organic inulin directly in its ingredient statement. Added fiber is not a problem in itself, but it means the fiber and the vegetable are not necessarily arriving together.

Why this matters is well established and does not depend on anything we sell. In a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses covering 185 prospective studies and 58 clinical trials, Reynolds and colleagues found that higher dietary fiber intake was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, with the observed benefit continuing to rise up to intakes of 25 g to 29 g per day.¹ Slavin's review sets out the mechanisms, including fermentation of fiber in the large intestine and the prebiotic effects that follow.² Aune and colleagues, pooling 95 studies, found fruit and vegetable intake inversely associated with cardiovascular disease, total cancer and all-cause mortality, with reductions continuing up to roughly 800 g per day.³

Set against a 25 g to 29 g daily target, 1 g to 2 g from a scoop is a small contribution and 5 g from a pouch is a meaningful one. We go into what a good fiber contribution looks like in is SaladPower a good source of fiber.

What a proprietary blend does and does not tell you

When a label groups ingredients under a single blend weight, you learn the total and not the split. A 4 g blend listing seventy-five ingredients could be almost entirely the first one. The FDA permits this, and the notation on all three blend-based labels we read is the same: daily value not established.

It is worth being precise about who does what, because the category is not uniform:

Product	Panel type	Ingredient disclosure	Flavors or sweeteners
Naked Super Greens	Nutrition Facts	Plain ingredient list, no proprietary blend	None listed
Ora Organic Greens Powder	Supplement Facts	Three named blends with separate weights, grasses split from greens	Natural lemon and orange flavor, monkfruit extract
Amazing Grass Super Greens	Supplement Facts	Four named blends with weights	Fructose, natural flavor
Orgain Supreme Greens	Supplement Facts	One 4 g blend covering roughly 75 ingredients	Natural flavor, stevia extract, monk fruit extract
Bloom Greens & Superfoods	Not published on the product page	Ingredient categories described, no panel shown	Six flavor variants offered
SaladPower	Nutrition Facts	Six named whole ingredients, no proprietary blend	None. Nothing added

Naked is the clearest counterexample to the stereotype. It uses a Nutrition Facts panel with an open ingredient list, no proprietary blend and no added flavoring, and at $0.91 a serving it is the cheapest product in this comparison. A blanket claim that greens powders hide behind blends would be wrong, and Naked is the reason.

Bloom is the other end. Reviewing its Greens & Superfoods product page, we could find pricing, flavor options and ingredient categories, but no supplement facts panel. That is a documented observation about one page on one day, not a claim about the product's contents, and Bloom is therefore priced but not tabulated above.

What the label-accuracy research actually shows, and what it does not

Dietary supplements in the United States are regulated differently from food. Manufacturers are responsible for the safety and labelling of their products, and the FDA does not approve them for safety or effectiveness before they go on sale. SaladPower is regulated as a food.

Two analyses published in JAMA Network Open tested how well supplement labels match contents. Cohen and colleagues bought 63 sports supplements and analyzed 57 of them for five botanical ingredients marketed for performance. Only 6 of 57, about 11%, contained the labeled ingredient within 10% of the stated amount. In 23 of 57, about 40%, the labeled botanical was not detectable at all. Seven products, about 12%, contained at least one ingredient prohibited by the FDA.⁴ Crawford and colleagues analyzed 30 immune-support supplements bought from a single online retailer and found 17 of 30 inaccurately labeled, with 13 containing listed ingredients that were not detected and 9 containing substances not declared on the label.⁵

Neither study tested greens powders. One tested botanical sports supplements and the other tested immune-support products, and neither included any of the five products discussed on this page. They are adjacent evidence about labelling accuracy in the wider supplement market, not findings about this category, and we could not locate a comparable published analysis of greens powders specifically. Read them as a reason to prefer clear labels and independent testing, not as a claim about what is in anyone's tub.

What 1,566 customers actually said

We analyzed 1,566 published SaladPower customer reviews collected through Okendo. The average rating is 4.83, 96.1% would recommend, and none was incentivized. Coding them by theme:

Theme	Share of 1,566 reviews
Convenience, speed, no prep	35.8%
Taste, positive	22.1%
Daily habit or subscription	18.5%
Ingredients, organic, clean	14.8%
Price or value	11.0%
Energy	4.7%
Kids and family	4.5%
Digestion or regularity	4.3%
Taste described as earthy or acquired	3.3%

The most useful number is in the negative reviews. Of the 61 reviews rated three stars or below, 43 are about taste, 15 about price and 6 about texture. Taste is far and away the reason people do not get on with this product, and it is worth knowing that before you buy rather than after. It tastes like the vegetables in it, because that is what it is. Flavored powders exist partly to solve exactly this problem, and for some people they solve it well.

Usage patterns from the same set: 15.2% drink it very cold or over ice, 10.1% blend it into a smoothie, 8.8% treat it as a meal, and 2.0% mix it into a sauce or soup. Serving it cold is the single most common adaptation people report.

Which one fits you

The two products are good at different things, and the panels above make the split legible.

If this is your constraint	The better tool	The number behind it
Closing the vegetable gap	SaladPower	5 to 6 cups of vegetables per pouch, roughly 2x the recommended daily intake
Fiber per serving	SaladPower	5 g, 18% DV, against 1 g to 2 g per scoop
Vitamin A, iron and potassium	SaladPower	100%, 30% and 15% DV, against 10% DV or less on every powder that declared them
A label you can read end to end	SaladPower, or Naked	Six whole ingredients, no proprietary blend
Cost per serving	A greens powder	$0.91 to $1.50 against $6.21 to $9.00
Luggage and shelf life	A greens powder	One tub holds thirty servings and needs no refrigeration
Calories and carbohydrate	A greens powder	25 to 30 calories and 1 g to 2 g sugar, against 90 calories and 21 g carbohydrate
Vitamin C per calorie	Amazing Grass	90 mg, 100% DV, in 30 calories, against 16 mg, 20% DV, in 90

Buy SaladPower if the gap you are closing is vegetables and fiber. Per third-party testing commissioned by our manufacturer, one 8 oz pouch is 5 to 6 cups of vegetables. Against a recommended 3 servings a day, that is roughly 2x the recommended daily vegetable intake, arriving as 100% DV vitamin A, 30% DV iron, 20% DV vitamin C, 15% DV potassium and 5 g of fiber, from a six ingredient organic label you can read end to end: carrot, spinach, apple, kale, broccoli and lemon, commercially processed, sealed and shelf stable, with nothing else in it.

Buy a greens powder if cost per serving, luggage, calories or one concentrated nutrient is the binding constraint. If you choose one, favor a plain ingredient list over a large proprietary blend, and look for independent third party testing. SaladPower carries 21 g of carbohydrate and 11 g of naturally occurring sugar per pouch, so it is not a product for a ketogenic diet.

On price plainly: SaladPower runs $6.21 per pouch on the 30 pack subscription and up to $9.00 per pouch at the smallest size, and 11.0% of our own reviewers raise price or value as a theme. The comparison is not really cost per serving though, it is cost per gram of what you are buying: an 8 oz pouch of pressed produce and a 7 g to 8 g scoop of dried blend are different quantities of material. We set out our side of that trade in why SaladPower costs what it does.

Neither replaces eating vegetables. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030 set the target at 3 servings a day at 2,000 calories, where a serving is 1 cup raw or cooked or 2 cups leafy greens, and only 10.0% of US adults met the vegetable intake recommendation in 2019.⁶ If you want the underlying targets, see how many servings of vegetables per day, how many different plants per week, and what happens if you don't eat vegetables.

Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in a greens powder compared with SaladPower? Across the four greens powder labels we read, dietary fiber ranged from 1 g to 2 g per scoop: Amazing Grass Super Greens 2 g, Ora Organic Greens 2 g, Orgain Supreme Greens 1 g, Naked Super Greens 1 g. One 8 oz SaladPower pouch contains 5 g, or 18% of the Daily Value. Some of the fiber in powders is added, such as inulin from chicory root, rather than intrinsic to the vegetables.

Are greens powders multivitamins? Not necessarily, and most of the ones we read are not. Of the four labels we read, Orgain Supreme Greens declared a single vitamin, Naked Super Greens declared four nutrients none above 3% of the Daily Value, Ora declared six between 3% and 10%, and Amazing Grass declared seven with only vitamin C reaching 100%. Some brands do fortify heavily, but that is a decision by a particular manufacturer rather than a feature of the category, so check the panel.

How many vegetables are in one SaladPower pouch? One 8 oz pouch is 5 to 6 cups of vegetables. Against a recommended 3 servings a day, that is roughly 2x the recommended daily vegetable intake in a single pouch. It comes from six whole organic ingredients, carrot, spinach, apple, kale, broccoli and lemon, with nothing added, and declares 100% DV vitamin A, 30% DV iron, 20% DV vitamin C, 15% DV potassium and 5 g of fiber.

What does a proprietary blend on a greens powder label mean? It means the manufacturer discloses the combined weight of a group of ingredients but not how much of each one it contains, and the panel will note that a Daily Value is not established. Ora Organic splits its scoop into a 4.8 g grass blend and a 1.6 g greens blend, which shows cereal grasses outweighing vegetables roughly three to one. Not every brand uses blends: Naked Super Greens publishes a plain ingredient list with no proprietary blend.

Do studies show greens powders are inaccurately labeled? No study we could verify has tested greens powders specifically. Two analyses in JAMA Network Open examined adjacent categories: Cohen and colleagues found that 23 of 57 sports supplements contained no detectable amount of the labeled botanical, and Crawford and colleagues found 17 of 30 immune-support supplements inaccurately labeled. Neither tested greens powders, so treat those findings as general context about supplement labelling rather than evidence about this category.

Is a greens powder cheaper than SaladPower? Yes, substantially. The powders we priced ran $0.91 to $1.50 per serving: Naked $0.91, Amazing Grass $0.95, Bloom $1.13 at list price, Orgain $1.33, Ora $1.50. SaladPower runs $6.21 per pouch on the 30 pack subscription and up to $9.00 at the smallest size. The two are different quantities of material: a 7 g to 8 g scoop of dried blend against an 8 oz pouch that is 5 to 6 cups of vegetables.
