AG1 Review 2026: Is It Actually Worth the Hype (or Just Good Marketing)?
AG1 Review
9/7/20265 min read
Okay mama, let's talk about the greens powder that's basically taken over every wellness influencer's morning routine.
You've seen the ads. You've seen the podcast reads. You've probably wondered — is AG1 actually worth $79 a month, or is this just really good marketing wrapped in a cute canister?
Full transparency:
I'd only tried AG1 a handful of times before — but I just picked up their new flavored Berry and Citrus greens powder sticks, so I'll actually be drinking this regularly now.
This post has my honest first impressions plus the long-term take from my husband and mom, who've both been drinking AG1 on and off for years. I'll update this as I go. Not the podcast-ad version.
What Is AG1, Actually?
AG1 (formerly Athletic Greens) is an all-in-one greens powder that packs vitamins, minerals, probiotics, adaptogens, and prebiotics into one scoop.
The pitch: replace your multivitamin, probiotic, and greens supplement with one drink a day.
For a mom running on four hours of sleep and dry shampoo, "one thing instead of five things" is very appealing.
My First Impressions of the New Berry & Citrus Flavored Sticks
AG1 recently launched flavored powder sticks (I grabbed the Berry and Citrus), which is a big deal if you've heard people complain about the taste of the original greens powder.
Here's my honest take:
They taste exactly like you'd want — a berry-flavored greens powder and a citrus-flavored greens powder. Not candy, not weird, just a pleasant, drinkable way to get your greens in. The stick packets are also super easy to toss in a bag for on-the-go days.
I'll be honest — I'm not someone who notices dramatic effects from most supplements I try, and that's been true with AG1 too. But that's exactly why the next part of this review matters more.
What My Husband & Mom Say After Years of Drinking It
This is honestly the more useful part of this review — my husband and my mom have both gone in and out of an AG1 habit for years, and they've always said it makes them feel better when they're on it. That kind of long-term, keep-coming-back loyalty tells you more than any one-week trial could.
What they like:
They notice a difference in how they feel when they're drinking it consistently
It's an easy way to cover a lot of nutritional bases in one step
What made them hesitate or stop at times:
The price — $79/month is a real line item, which is usually why they go "on and off" instead of subscribing forever
Life just gets busy and the habit falls off, like with any supplement
Is AG1 Worth the Price?
Here's my honest math:
A decent multivitamin + probiotic + greens powder bought separately can run you $40-60/month anyway once you add it up — and you're taking three or four pills/scoops instead of one. If convenience and quality sourcing matter to you, AG1 closes that gap. If you're on a tight budget or already have a supplement stack you love, it's a harder sell.
My personal take:
I'm not the person to tell you it's changed my life, because I've only just started drinking it regularly. But my husband and mom have paid full price for it, on and off, for years — and people don't keep re-buying a $79/month product out of habit alone.
Who AG1 Is Actually For
Moms who keep forgetting to take 5 different supplements
Anyone dealing with low energy who wants one simple daily habit
People who travel a lot and want something portable (the individual packets are clutch)
Who Might Want to Skip It
If you're already happy with a cheaper, targeted supplement stack
If you're sensitive to stevia (it's the sweetener used)
My Verdict
I'm sticking with the Berry and Citrus sticks — they taste good, they're easy to toss in my bag, and it's one less thing to think about in the morning. I can't personally tell you it gave me more energy or changed how I feel, because I'm just not someone who notices that with most supplements.
But my husband and mom have kept coming back to AG1 for years, and that kind of long-term loyalty (from people who aren't getting paid to say so) means something.
If you want to try it, AG1 is currently doing a free gift for new customers through my link — no code needed, just use that link at checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AG1 worth the money?
It depends on what you're comparing it to. If you'd otherwise be buying a multivitamin, probiotic, and greens powder separately, the math works out pretty close — and you get the convenience of one scoop or stick instead of several.
How long does it take to notice a difference with AG1?
Effects vary person to person — my husband and mom have both said they feel better when they're drinking it consistently, but "consistently" for them has meant weeks to months, not days.
Can I take AG1 while breastfeeding / pregnant?
Always check with your doctor before adding any new supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
What does AG1 taste like?
The new Berry and Citrus flavored sticks taste exactly like you'd expect — a berry-flavored greens powder and a citrus-flavored greens powder. Nothing weird, nothing overly sweet, just an easy way to drink your greens without choking it down.
