Grüns vs. AG1: I Tried Both So You Don’t Have To – Here’s My Honest Take

Start Here

Every morning I pack my kids’ lunches in cute bento-style lunchboxes. Admittedly, I’m a little extra when it comes to my kids’ nutrition, but for good reason. Turns out their behavior, attitude and energy level is directly linked to their gut health and what they eat.

The irony is that while I make my kids' nutrition a priority, the same can’t be said for my own. I know I’m not getting enough vitamins and nutrients and I’m not alone. So, when I came across two daily supplements, Grüns (a daily pack of eight tasty gummies) and AG1 (a greens-packed daily drink), I figured it was time to stop surviving on scraps and actually take care of myself to set a good example for my kids. Both Grüns and AG1 claim to support immunity, digestion, energy, and overall nutrition, but in totally different formats. I tried both. Here’s why Grüns is the one I’m sticking with.

Clean Ingredients, Clear Labels

Grüns delivers 21+ essential vitamins and minerals (including iron and D3, which AG1 skimps on), plus mushrooms, prebiotics, and whole-food superfoods. The label is clean and easy to understand. AG1 is a blend of 75+ vitamins that includes proprietary blends with unclear amounts each ingredient. Each serving of sugar-free Grüns has 20 calories, while AG1 has 40. Further, Grüns features 6 grams of dietary fiber, while AG1 has 2 grams.

Gummies > Powder

Grüns is fun and effortless: 8 tasty, pre-portioned gummies a day. No prep, no weird texture, no grassy aftertaste. Just grab, eat, go. AG1, on the other hand, requires mixing, shaking, and fridge space which not ideal when I’m racing between school drop-offs and Zoom meetings.

Actually Tastes… Good

Grüns surprised me in all the best ways. With its deeply dark green color, I was expecting the gummies to taste like eating a head of raw kale. Instead, I was happy to find that it almost tasted like candy with the familiar slightly fruity flavor and smooth texture. AG1, on the other hand, is an acquired taste. And, if you’re a newbie like me, it’s not something you’ll gulp down immediately with zeal. 

More Affordable (and Convenient)

A subscribe and save plan with Grüns will cost you $1.71 per day for their low-sugar option and $1.89 per day for the sugar-free packs. AG1 will cost you $2.63 per serving with their Subscribe & Save plan. 

The Verdict: Grüns Is the One I’ll Stick With

Between the grab-and-go convenience, delicious flavor profile, options for sugar-free and low-sugar, and impressive nutritional profile backed by science, Grüns seamlessly fit into my very busy life. AG1 may have solid benefits, but the extra prep, taste, and storage demands made it harder to stick with (or even look forward to).
