The Verdict
AG1 wins on quality (A vs C) because it is the only greens powder here carrying NSF Certified for Sport, with a published certificate of analysis and banned-substance screening. Bloom carries no independent certification at all. But you pay for it: AG1 runs $2.63 per serving on subscription versus Bloom's $1.27 - more than double. Both bury their ingredients in proprietary blends, so neither lets you verify a single clinical dose. Bottom line: if you are a tested athlete or you specifically value the NSF seal, AG1 is the only defensible choice. For everyone else, Bloom delivers the same unverifiable formula at less than half the price - but the smarter move is to buy neither and eat actual vegetables.

Why This Comparison Matters
These are the two greens powders people see everywhere. AG1 is the original premium subscription greens that built the category through podcast ads. Bloom Nutrition is the TikTok-driven mass-market challenger that undercuts AG1 on price and leans hard on flavor variety. The honest framing: both are expensive ways to not eat vegetables, and both hide their formulas inside proprietary blends.
The real question is not which has the better superfood list - neither discloses its individual ingredient doses, so you cannot verify either one. The question is what the price gap actually buys you. AG1 costs more than double per serving, so it needs to justify that with something concrete.
We scored both on the same four-factor rubric: clinical evidence, third-party quality testing, cost per serving, and label transparency. Here is where the gap is real and where it is just marketing.
Detailed Score Breakdown
AG1 (30 Servings)
AG1 (Athletic Greens)
75+ ingredients organized into proprietary blends - individual ingredient doses are not disclosed, so it is mathematically impossible to verify whether any single ingredient (ashwagandha, rhodiola, milk thistle, etc.) hits its evidence-supported dose
NSF Certified for Sport - the only major greens powder with this certification; tested annually against 280+ banned substances and screened for heavy metals, microbial contamination, and label-claim accuracy
$2.63 per serving on subscription ($79/month) or $3.30 on one-time order - the most expensive product in the category by a wide margin
Discloses NSF Sport status and publishes a certificate of analysis, but the underlying formula is grouped into named blends ('Alkaline, Nutrient-Dense Raw Superfood Complex,' 'Nutrient-Dense Extracts, Herbs and Antioxidants') that hide individual doses
Only NSF Certified for Sport greens powder on the market - genuine differentiator for tested athletes. Premium price reflects the certification more than the formula transparency.
Greens & Superfoods (Original, 30 Servings)
Bloom Nutrition
Uses multiple proprietary blends ('Super Greens & Antioxidant Blend,' 'Adaptogen Blend,' 'Probiotic & Digestive Enzyme Blend') that hide individual ingredient amounts - cannot verify clinical dosing of any constituent
GMP certified manufacturing but no independent third-party certification (no NSF, USP, or Informed Sport)
$1.27 per serving - mid-tier pricing for the category, less than half the cost of AG1
Names the included ingredients but groups them into proprietary blends; probiotic CFU disclosed (1 billion) but specific strains buried in the blend
TikTok-driven mass-market brand at less than half the cost of AG1, with similar (i.e. equally non-disclosed) formula transparency. Probiotic CFU is low (1 billion) versus AG1's 7.2 billion.
How We Compared These Products
Every product in our database is scored on four equally-weighted pillars: dosing accuracy and form quality, purity verification (third-party testing), cost per clinically effective dose (not cost per pill), and label transparency. Each pillar is worth 25 points for a total of 100.
Cost per effective dose is calculated using the clinically studied dose from published research, not the manufacturer's suggested serving. If a product requires multiple servings to reach the dose used in clinical trials, that cost is reflected in the value score.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AG1 worth the extra cost over Bloom?
Only if the NSF Certified for Sport seal matters to you. AG1 is the only greens powder carrying that certification, which screens for 280+ banned substances and verifies label accuracy. That is the one concrete thing the higher price buys. Both products hide their ingredient doses in proprietary blends, so on formula transparency they are equally unverifiable. For a tested athlete, AG1 justifies the premium. For a general wellness buyer, paying more than double for the same hidden formula is hard to defend.
How much does AG1 cost compared to Bloom?
AG1 is $2.63 per serving on subscription ($79/month) or $3.30 on a one-time order - the most expensive greens powder we track. Bloom Greens & Superfoods is about $1.27 per serving, less than half AG1's price. Over a year of daily use that is roughly $960 for AG1 versus $460 for Bloom.
Does either AG1 or Bloom disclose its ingredient doses?
No. Both organize their formulas into proprietary blends - AG1 into named complexes like its 'Alkaline, Nutrient-Dense Raw Superfood Complex,' and Bloom into a 'Super Greens & Antioxidant Blend,' 'Adaptogen Blend,' and others. In both cases you see the blend total but not the amount of any individual ingredient, so you cannot confirm whether the ashwagandha, rhodiola, or any other constituent hits an evidence-supported dose.
Which has more probiotics, AG1 or Bloom?
AG1 discloses 7.2 billion CFU of probiotics per serving; Bloom discloses 1 billion CFU. So AG1 has roughly seven times the probiotic count on the label. In both products, though, the specific strains are buried in the blend, which makes the functional benefit hard to evaluate beyond the raw CFU number.
Is a greens powder necessary if I eat vegetables?
No. A greens powder is a convenience product, not a requirement. If you already eat a reasonable variety of vegetables and fruit, neither AG1 nor Bloom adds anything you cannot get from food at a fraction of the cost. They make most sense for people who genuinely struggle to eat produce and want a hedge - and even then, a fully disclosed open-label greens powder is a better value than either of these blend-based products.
