Eating healthy has always been a challenge for me.
But as I get older, Im becoming more committed to taking better care of my body.
What makes Athletic Greens powder, called AG1, such an attractive product is how nutrient-dense it is.

The formula includes over 75 vitamins and minerals as well as prebiotics and probiotics.
Thefull list of ingredientsrange from spirulina and apple powder to spinach leaf powder and pea protein.
The brand promises:
And according to TikTok, AG1 delivers.
Because of the product name, I mistakenly thought that it could be a replacement for vegetablesits not.
But it did reap some small benefits.
How I Incorporated AG1 Into My Lifestyle
I had Athletic Greens every day for a month.
I tried to drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, as the brand suggests.
You simply shake and drink.
Another great aspect of AG1 is that it is so easy to make.
I was grateful for that because it wasnt a chore or big disruption to my daily routine.
But my daily AG1 drink helped improve my mood in the morning and sustain that energy throughout the day.
I also noticed the immune system benefits AG1 promises.
The positive effects were most noticeable to me after I took an international trip mid-experiment.
I felt a positive difference in energy levels when I came home and started my regular routine again.
Some users say they felt less bloated and had better digestion, but I didnt really experience that.
I also didnt love the taste.
Is Athletic Greens Actually Worth It?
As someone looking to improve their eating habits, Im glad I tried AG1.
But unfortunately, the effects werent as pronounced as I was hoping for.
