Bloom Nutrition’s Greens & Superfoods powder is a sweet alternative to grassy-tasting greens powders but lacks proven results and clinical research support. Key Features
Bloom Nutrition launched in 2019, founded by married couple Mari Llewellyn and Greg LaVecchia. As a woman new to the fitness scene, Llewellyn felt there was a need in the supplement industry for “health supplements with high-quality ingredients that tasted delicious,” according to Bloom’s website. The Greens & Superfoods powder is the company’s best seller and has gone viral on TikTok, according to Llewellyn. Bloom Nutrition also sells collagen, pre-workout, protein and vitamin supplements. Bloom products are available nationwide online and at Target stores.
The Bloom Greens & Superfoods powder is a fine green powder that is meant to supplement, or add to, your existing intake of greens and “superfoods” (foods that are naturally packed with crucial nutrients) like berries or broccoli. Packaged in a plastic tub with a mostly green-colored label, the product includes one plastic scoop inside for proper measurement of each serving. One scoop of the Original flavor is 5.05 grams, which equals one serving. Bloom suggests one to two servings per day. It’s recommended to blend one scoop of the greens powder with 8 to 12 fluid ounces of water or your favorite drink with a high-powered mixer. Bloom’s Greens & Superfoods powder is plant-based and free of soy, gluten, dairy and GMO products, according to its label.
One tub of Greens & Superfoods powder with 30 servings, in any flavor, costs $39.99. A tub with 60 servings costs $79.99. There is an option to “Subscribe & Save” on Bloom’s website where you can opt for delivery of the product every 30, 60 or 90 days and receive a 10% discount. This subscription plan can be modified, paused or canceled at any time. Additionally, by subscribing to these regular deliveries, Bloom claims you will also have access to exclusive deals, surprise gifts and guaranteed delivery during times of low inventory. Shipping is free for U.S. orders $50 and over.
On the whole, one serving (or scoop) of Bloom Greens & Superfoods powder contains 15 calories, 3 grams of carbs, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 0.6 milligrams of iron and 5 milligrams of sodium. There are also 57 milligrams of stevia leaf extract to give the product a sweeter taste. The label also breaks down its dozens of ingredients into specific blends, including fiber, green superfood, pre and probiotic, fruit and vegetable, antioxidant beauty, digestive enzyme and adaptogenic blends. The powder comes in five flavors, including berry, coconut, citrus, original and mango.
On its front label, Bloom Greens & Superfoods claims to aid in digestion, bloating and immunity, although acknowledges on the back label that these claims have not been evaluated by the FDA. The product is manufactured in a cGMP (Certified Good Manufacturing Practices) facility, which must operate by standards set by the FDA. The facility also processes nuts and dairy products, according to Bloom’s FAQ page.
Jaclyn London, a registered dietitian and certified dietician-nutritionist in New York, hopes customers will be wary before diving into Bloom Nutrition products. “The biggest problem from a nutrition standpoint is that because it’s presumably produce [fruits and vegetables] in powdered form, you’re automatically losing out on the fiber, antioxidants, water and key mineral benefits that you would otherwise be getting if you were to eat a whole food in any form,” she says. London also questions where Bloom sources its ingredients, especially since Bloom doesn’t provide third-party testing results on any of its ingredients. Without such testing, “they could be contaminated [with external ingredients like cadmium or lead] without us having any idea,” she says, which could be harmful on their own or in conjunction with medications or foods a person already ingests. While the amount of each particular ingredient may not be enough to provide any therapeutic (e.g truly healing) effects, the combination of ingredients “may provide some antioxidants, adaptogens, enzymes, and prebiotic fiber,” explains Nichole Dandrea-Russert, M.S., a registered dietitian nutritionist and author of The Fiber Effect. Both Dandrea-Russert and London stress that the powder should not be used as a replacement for whole foods, but rather as a supplement to support a healthy diet.

Bloom Nutrition presents itself as an upbeat and trendy supplement brand, which makes it easy to buy into its products and promises. I was especially hopeful about its decreased bloating and aided digestion benefits. I took the Greens & Superfoods powder in the Original flavor daily for one week, trying it both with water and in a smoothie (with frozen berries, carrot juice and a protein powder). The label instructs using a high-powered mixer to whisk the powder in with liquid, which works, but shaking with a blender ball works just as well when I tried it with water. The Original powder tastes a lot sweeter than other greens powders I’ve tried; one scoop in water is actually too sweet for my taste. One scoop in a smoothie also noticeably sweetened the smoothie compared to the same ingredients blending without the Greens & Superfoods powder. Contrary to Bloom’s claim that its Greens & Superfoods powder helps with bloating, I thought drinking one serving with water actually caused a bit of bloating. This side effect was enough to prevent me from continuing to use the product past one week. I am also wary of consuming more of a supplement that has not been chemically tested by a third party to indicate the quality of its ingredients, so I won’t finish the tub past this trial. The product has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon based on more than 20,000 global ratings, with 75% of those being 5-star ratings.

We’re often asked; What’s the best time of day to drink my Macro Greens and Miracle Reds?
There’s no magic time here as to when you should drink your greens. My rule of thumb is to do it when you’re the most consistent. Start your day off right, by drinking a glass of Macro Greens first thing in the morning before breakfast, it will rehydrate your liver, balance blood sugar and energize you. For me, it’s a big glass of greens when I get to the office. I mix 1oz apple juice, a heaping scoop of greens/stir, add 10oz water plus a couple ice cubes and sip away. Provides me with mental clarity and helps me focus.
Miracle Reds is a rainbow of 19 superfruits, herbs, extracts, plant sterols, and probiotics that goes beyond any other blend of its kind. Each serving surpasses the raw food nutrition of FIVE servings of fruits and berries and contains the widest spectrum of antioxidants. Fortified with plant sterols that research studies have shown to lower cholesterol, and may even reduce the risk of heart disease. Plus Hydrating phytonutrients & enzymes, that may helpreduce muscle soreness. Miracle Reds® the ultimate post-workout recovery formula – perfect for active people.
Same holds true for Miracle Reds® best time is when you’re going to be the most consistent. I like to drink my Miracle Reds in the afternoon a few hours after lunch for an afternoon pick me up. Keeps me away from coffee and snacks. For many folks it’s the opposite, reds in the morning and greens in the afternoon. There’s no set schedule.
When you’re working out; the Bromelain, Turmeric, Aloe Vera and active Antioxidants in Miracle Reds help to repair tissues and make it a great workout recovery formula!
How many servings of Fruits and Veggies should I get a day?
Although the recommended is 5 servings of fruits and veggies per day (each recommended serving is only 1/2 cup) – this really isn’t sufficient. Personally, and professionally, people do much better with more fruits and vegetables. Experts say 10 servings a day! Research has shown over and over the power of vegetables; because the fiber, vitamins, minerals work synergistically with the phytonutrients and antioxidants. One way to squeeze in more is with MacroLife Macro Greens & Miracle Reds SuperFoods. One scoop contains 5 full servings of fruit and vegetables. Both make delicious smoothies – mix with your favorite non-citrus or non-dairy milk, bananas, frozen strawberries – Add MacroMeal protein powder and you have a complete meal!
Gut health is key to immune health and Greens are really important part of your digestive system. In short, they are loaded with fiber. Fiber helps us regulate our blood sugars, it keeps us regular, it reduces cardiovascular disease. Fiber also supplies the good guys in our digestive system. Macro Greens® contain a great source of natural fibers, that work synergistically with the 18-Billion Probiotics and all the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. So for optimum health it’s great to get your GREENS in….Macro Greens that is!
Vitamins C, E and B-12 Immune Boosting Properties
As more people learned about the importance of building immunity to stave off strains like COVID-19, internet searches for immunity-boosting supplements skyrocketed. Some suggested adding zinc and vitamins C, D, B12 to one’s diet, yet others recommended chewing on elderberries, echinacea, among other herbs. What we have been missing hearing about is a more holistic and complete approach to building immunity that an ancient healing system that Ayurveda promises, versus a piecemeal approach that we’ve been hearing about. What we can strive for is, to combine healthy lifestyle practices. We can begin with eating a wholesome diet, taking natural herbal supplements to load up on nutrients that fill in nutritional gaps your daily meals may not provide, good sleep, mind-body practices to keep stress at bay. All of these can help us have strong immunity. Your immune system is basically your body’s first line of defense against infection and illness-causing pathogens. It includes a network of immune cells and tissues that fend off pathogens from attacking your body. There are lifestyle triggers like improper sleep, stress, nutritional deficiency, the buildup of toxins, pollution, that can weaken your defense system. One way that people have been trying to strengthen their immune system is, relying on individual supplements like zinc, elderberries, garlic, Andrographis, among others. If only there were a way to have this range of supplements in the form of a cohesive immunity kit, to take total care of our immune system, wouldn’t that be great!? MacroLife’s Macro Greens/Miracle Reds immunity pack fulfills this purpose for you…and then some.
