AG1 Pineapple-Vanilla Review: What’s Really Inside This Green Drink

I picked up the AG1 travel packets from Costco — small green sachets that promise to combine seventy-five vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and plant extracts in one drink. The price was steep enough to expect something beyond marketing.

When mixed with cold water, the powder turns an opaque green. There isn’t much of a smell — but the taste is clear: pineapple first, vanilla second, with barely any bitterness. It’s smooth, easy to finish, and far lighter than most greens powders. The color looks like kale, but it doesn’t taste like it.

What’s Inside

AG1 lists four main complexes on its label:

• Vitamins and minerals — covering B-complex, C, E, zinc, magnesium, and selenium. These are aimed at supporting metabolism, immune health, and antioxidant function.

• Superfood blend — spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, and barley grass, which contribute chlorophyll and plant compounds.

• Adaptogens and botanicals — ashwagandha, rhodiola, and reishi mushroom, traditionally used to help the body manage stress.

• Probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes — Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, inulin, bromelain, and papain, included for gut support and nutrient absorption.

Per packet (based on AG1’s official data):

• 50 calories

• 6 g carbohydrates (2 g fiber)

• <1 g sugar

• 2 g protein

• NSF Certified for Sport, meaning it’s third-party tested for safety and contaminants.

  
  

Intended Benefits

AG1 is designed to act as a broad nutritional safety net. The company’s positioning is clear: one packet to simplify daily supplementation, support energy, digestion, and overall nutrient coverage. It’s not meant to replace food or targeted vitamins, but to fill small gaps.

I didn’t notice any negative effects — no stomach discomfort, no aftertaste — which is more than can be said for most greens drinks (for me, anyway). If the goal is to deliver micronutrients and probiotics in a clean, digestible way, AG1 does that efficiently.

Notable Users

The brand often references Andrew Huberman (neuroscientist and podcast host), Allyson Felix (Olympian), and Lewis Hamilton (F1 champion) as part of its partner community. Their association helps position AG1 as a performance-level product rather than a detox fad.

Verdict

The pineapple-vanilla version makes AG1 approachable: mild, light, and easy to drink daily. It’s expensive, but credible — science-aligned, functional, balanced supplement that delivers what it claims: a clean, all-in-one micronutrient drink that fits neatly into the day.
