Kiala Greens vs. Bloom Greens vs. Live it Up Super Greens: What’s Best?

While Kiala, Bloom, and Live it Up are tastier than your average greens powder, a nutrition expert finds that Super Greens wins out with its veggie-dense, all-natural formula.

Kiala Greens vs. Bloom Greens vs. Live it Up Super Greens: What’s Best?

In recent years, greens powders have become one of my top recommendations to help clients supplement their everyday nutrition. But taste and texture are often the biggest obstacles stopping people from sticking with a greens supplement long enough to see the benefits.

With that in mind, I decided to compare Bloom Greens and Kiala Greens—brands known for their wide variety of flavors—with Live it Up Super Greens, my go-to daily greens powder. After looking closely at their respective Supplement Facts and trying each greens blend, Super Greens still gets my vote as the greens powder with the more comprehensive formula, all-natural ingredients, and excellent taste and drinkability.

In this comparison, I’ll discuss everything I learned about Kiala, Bloom, and Live it Up, so you can decide whether a daily glass of greens could help support your wellness goals.

Kiala Greens Overview

Let’s take a closer look at the pros, cons, price, and bottom line for these greens and its manufacturer, Kiala Nutrition. 

What Is Kiala Nutrition?

Kiala Greens, a blend of 34 ingredients including superfoods, fruits, and vegetables, is the only product sold by Kiala Nutrition, a supplements company founded by Jack Szymczak and Pete Christel in 2021.

The company successfully partnered with wellness influencers to promote their greens powder, which is marketed almost exclusively to women. In countless videos, TikTok creators praise Kiala’s taste and discuss the positive effects they’ve noticed in bloating, energy levels, and skin appearance. 

Read the full Kiala Greens review.

Pros
  • Sweet taste could appeal if you don’t like eating vegetables
  • Coconut water powder may provide some electrolytes
  • Contains an organic greens blend
  • Available in five creative flavors
  • Free U.S. shipping on all orders
  • Made in the USA without added sugars, gluten, soy, or dairy
Cons
  • Sweetened with sucralose
  • No probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, or dietary fiber 
  • Includes maltodextrin
  • The most popular flavors aren’t always available
  • Contains some caffeine, which may not be suitable for some

Price: A 30-serving subscription costs $39.97 per month ($1.33 per serving), billed every 30 days and cancelable anytime. A one-time, 90-serving supply costs $149.85 ($1.67 per serving).

Bottom Line: Kiala Greens could be a good choice for those looking for a very sweet, flavored greens powder made with fruit and vegetable extracts and minimal extras. However, it lacks probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber, components that many greens powders include to provide comprehensive gut health support.

Did You Know?

Underline

Approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar, sucralose is widely sold under the brand name Splenda. Even with its popularity, some people try to avoid this artificial sweetener.

Bloom Greens Overview

Like Kiala, Bloom Greens takes its TikTok and Instagram presence very seriously and is widely available at retailers like Target, Walmart, and GNC. Here’s what you should know about Bloom’s formula, price, and taste. 

What Is Bloom Nutrition?

Bloom Nutrition is a supplements company founded by the husband-and-wife team Mari Llewellyn and Greg LaVecchia. Llewellyn, a fitness influencer, was inspired to create a line of female-focused nutritional supplements after embarking on a weight loss and wellness journey. Greens & Superfoods is the company’s flagship product, though Bloom also sells colostrum and collagen peptides, energy drinks, whey protein, creatine, and pre-workout supplements.

Pros
  • Includes some organic greens and grasses
  • Contains probiotics, a prebiotic, digestive enzymes, and a fiber blend
  • Made with numerous fruit and vegetable powders, plus adaptogens
  • Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities 
  • No added sugars or artificial sweeteners
  • Third-party tested for quality
  • Comes in five fruity flavors
Cons
  • Some customers find the taste overpoweringly sweet
  • Amount of probiotics isn’t specified
  • Certain flavors are often out of stock
  • Doesn’t mix smoothly without a blender or frother
  • $5 shipping fee unless you subscribe or spend $50
  • Contains maltodextrin and trace amounts of caffeine

Price: A 30-serving container of Bloom Greens & Superfoods usually costs $33.99, or $1.13 per serving. For subscribers, the price is $28.89, or $0.96 per serving.

Bottom Line: Many customers enjoy Bloom’s fruity flavors and blend of ingredients, though the stevia aftertaste and excessive sweetness can be off-putting to those looking for a more traditional greens powder. Bloom also doesn’t disclose its probiotic CFU count, making it difficult to gauge how much gut-health support the probiotic blend provides.

Live it Up Super Greens Overview

Live it Up’s mission is to support customers’ everyday nutrition with tasty, easy-to-drink supplement powders that make the world’s best superfoods more accessible. Here’s the lowdown on Live it Up. 

What Is Live it Up?

Haim Nigri’s inspiration to create Live it Up came while working in New York City in 2021. He wanted to incorporate the fresh produce of his native Brazil into tasty and convenient all-natural superfood powders that make it easy for even the busiest customers to support their health and wellness.

In addition to Super Greens, Live it Up makes Vital Minerals, an electrolyte powder made with coconut water powder, sea salt, and vitamin C to support hydration throughout the day. The brand also offers Feel the Beet, a vitality blend featuring beet root, ginkgo, and adaptogenic mushrooms to support endurance, energy, and focus. Golden Hour, Live it Up’s evening recharge blend, is made with organic spices, ashwagandha, and coconut milk powder to promote calm and relaxation. 

Pros
  • Each serving contains 16 all-natural superfoods
  • Made with organic vegetables and no GMOs
  • Supports gut health with 5 billion CFU of probiotics and 4 digestive enzymes
  • Sweetened with monk fruit (no stevia or sucralose)
  • Customers praise the refreshing, naturally sweet taste of both flavors
  • Mixes well with water for a smooth, grit-free consistency 
  • No added fillers, sugars, caffeine, dairy, soy, or nuts
  • Free shipping on all U.S. orders
Cons
  • Fewer flavor options than some other brands
  • Does not contain adaptogens
  • Only available online

Price: A one-time purchase of Live it Up Super Greens is $59.99 for a 30-serving container, or $1.99 per serving. Subscribers save 33% and pay $39.99 monthly ($1.33 per serving). 

Bottom Line: With 16 all-natural superfoods, plus vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and digestive enzymes, Live it Up Super Greens offers affordable daily wellness support and nutrients derived from whole foods in each scoop. Customers enjoy both flavors, which are lightly sweetened with monk fruit and blend easily with water or any other beverage.

Potential Health Benefits

Before recommending a green powder to my clients, I always look into the science behind the manufacturer’s claims. After closely investigating all three supplements, here are my findings on whether they might deliver the potential benefits. 

#1. Aid Digestion and Bloating

Supporting your gut health with powdered fruits and vegetables is a good reason to add a high-quality greens powder to your diet. Greens like dandelion, peppermint leaf, ginger root, alfalfa, wheat grass, and barley grass provide essential nutrients that may support a healthy microbiome, promote nutrient absorption, and encourage digestive regularity. 

When choosing a greens powder, look for one that also contains gut-supporting ingredients like fiber, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. These three brands have notable differences in their formulas regarding gut health.

  • Kiala Greens does not contain any of these ingredients.
  • Bloom contains digestive enzymes, a fiber blend (only 2 grams), prebiotics, and several strains of probiotics. However, the CFU amount of probiotics is not specified, leaving customers to hope that it’s enough to benefit their gut health.
  • Live it Up Super Greens contains 3 grams of dietary fiber and multiple digestive enzymes, specifically fruit-derived papain, bromelain, and a protease blend. A serving of Super Greens provides 5 billion CFU of dairy-free probiotics. This aligns with the suggested amount that many nutrition professionals recommend to support digestion and help manage bloating.

#2. Support Immunity

Numerous leafy greens, herbs, fruits, and vegetables in Live it Up, Kiala, and Bloom may contribute to a healthy immune system. For example, Live it Up Super Greens contains nutrient-dense foods like barley grass, nopal cactus, broccoli, spinach, and kale that have been linked to immune support, thanks to high levels of antioxidants, vitamin C, and beta carotene.

Kiala and Bloom contain antioxidant-rich powdered fruits and vegetables like camu camu, acerola, green tea, acai, spinach, kale, elderberry, goji, and bilberry to support normal immune function by neutralizing free radicals, combating oxidative stress, and potentially helping with inflammation.

#3. Maintain Energy Levels

Many people find that a daily greens powder can help support normal energy levels. Some blends, like Bloom and Kiala, contain small amounts of caffeine from coffee and/or green tea extract. However, this is far less than the amount in a cup of coffee and isn’t likely to be noticed by people with a typical reaction to caffeine. 

Instead, many of the energy-supporting benefits of greens powders come from the greens themselves. For example, kale, broccoli, and spinach are rich in a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, vitamin D, iron, magnesium, and zinc. 

Kiala, Bloom, and Live it Up all contain dark leafy greens that are nutrient-dense in their natural form. Unlike Kiala and Bloom, though, Live it Up's blend is naturally caffeine-free, which is worth considering if you're trying to avoid caffeine altogether, even in trace amounts.

Formula Breakdown

Let’s discuss the similarities and differences in the Kiala, Bloom, and Live it Up formulas to determine how each greens powder provides nutrition support. 

Organic Superfoods

Unlike some greens powders that contain dozens of ingredients and added vitamins, Live it Up, Bloom, and Kiala have more manageable ingredient lists. 

For example, Live it Up Super Greens contains just 16 superfoods, each carefully chosen for nutrient density and potential health benefits. Live it Up ensures that its formula contains concentrated amounts of each superfood, rather than overstuffing with tiny amounts of many ingredients. 

While all three formulas are non-GMO and made with organic vegetables, there are a few key differences. 

  • Kiala has organic coconut water powder, which provides electrolytes to help with fluid balance and muscle function.
  • Bloom contains an adaptogen blend with ashwagandha, eleuthero, Rhodiola, and astragalus to support a balanced stress response. 
  • Live it Up Super Greens focuses on nutritional powerhouses like spirulina, chlorella, kelp, and wheatgrass. The green superfood blend also features nopal cactus, ginger root, and alfalfa, which provide fiber and polyphenols, known for their antioxidant effects.

Sweeteners

There are no added sugars in the green powders made by Kiala, Bloom, and Live it Up. However, each brand uses a different sweetener to make their greens tastier. 

  • Kiala Greens uses sucralose, an artificial sweetener made by chemically modifying sucrose (table sugar). 
  • Bloom Greens contains stevia leaf extract. It’s a natural sugar substitute, though some dislike its distinctive aftertaste. 
  • Live it Up uses monk fruit extract, a plant-derived, no-calorie sweetener widely considered to have a more natural taste than many sugar substitutes. Though additional research is needed, compounds in monk fruit known as mogrosides may offer antioxidant properties. 

Manufacturing and Quality

Kiala, Bloom, and Live it Up have thorough quality certifications. Each company’s greens powder is:

  1. Made in the USA
  2. Produced in Good Manufacturing Practices-compliant facilities
  3. Third-party tested to ensure they are free from heavy metals and other contaminants. 

All three greens powders are non-GMO and free from dairy, nuts, and soy.

Kiala Greens contains coconut water powder, so those with coconut allergies should avoid it. It’s also worth noting that Kiala and Bloom both contain the additive maltodextrin, presumably to improve the consistency or shelf life of the powders, though some people may try to avoid it.

Taste, Texture, and Mixability Review

A greens powder can be an excellent way to support your overall health and nutrition. However, enjoying the taste is essential if you want to stick with this healthy habit – and some greens powders are far more drinkable than others.

Kiala Greens

Kiala Greens comes in five sweet and blended flavors–Watermelon Slush, Tropical Splash, Mixed Berry, Miami Vice, and Birthday Cake–which are undoubtedly one of the brand’s biggest selling points. After trying some, I found that Kiala does a good job of hiding the earthy and sometimes bitter taste of green superfoods.

One user described the Mixed Berry flavor as “sweet and delicious,” while another customer shared that the Watermelon Slush taste was “even better” than advertised, as well as “refreshing.”

Personally, I prefer a lighter touch, so the heavy use of sucralose in Kiala was a definite downside. Some users felt similarly, with one stating that the Watermelon Slush blend was “excessively sweet.”

Additionally, although Kiala isn’t as gritty as some supplement powders I’ve tried, it has a distinctly chalky texture. Another user agreed, also stating that even after using a frother, “there were still tons of clumps that never dissolved.”

Bloom Greens

Like Kiala, Bloom Greens boasts five fruit flavors, including Mango, Citrus, Orange Passionfruit, Berry, and Strawberry Kiwi. Many customers enjoyed these flavors, with one user saying that Bloom doesn’t have “that overpowering ‘grassy’ flavor” like some greens powders, while another shared that the Orange Passionfruit variety tastes “legitimately fruity” and “yummy.”

I was excited to try Bloom, yet was a bit disappointed. Although I like that the fun flavors are helping people get more vegetables into their diet, the drink itself wasn’t particularly palatable when mixed with water. I noticed a bitter stevia aftertaste and a grainy residue. Some customers agreed, with one saying the blend was “way too sweet and artificial,” and another describing the texture as “very gritty.”

Quite a few reviewers mentioned that both the taste and consistency could be improved by blending Bloom into a fruit smoothie or mixing it with milk. However, this somewhat negates the convenience of greens powders, which should be easy to prepare in a glass of water.

Live it Up Super Greens

Live it Up has been my favorite greens powder for several years, and the enjoyable taste is a major reason why I drink Super Greens every morning. The powder dissolves easily when stirred into water, so I don’t need to use my hand frother or make a smoothie just to enjoy an extra serving of greens. Like many other customers, I like that monk fruit is the only sweetener in Live it Up, with no added sugars, sucralose, or stevia. 

Super Greens is available in two flavors, each with a distinctive taste. While Original is lightly sweet with a hint of peppermint, Wild Berry has a somewhat tart taste, almost like drinking a fruity tea.

In verified Super Greens reviews, one user described the mintiness of the Original as a “big plus,” while another shared that the Wild Berry flavor is “far better than any other greens powder.” Many other users agreed with the latter sentiment, but about the brand overall, stating its greens taste better than similar products they’ve tried.

That said, others were less enthusiastic than I am about Super Greens’ taste, with one describing it as "okay" and another saying the minty flavor as “too intense.”

Taste is subjective. Some users have a higher tolerance for artificially sweet drinks, while others gravitate toward the more earthy and natural varieties. If you are looking for something in the middle, I feel as though Live it Up Super Greens falls into that bucket.

Cost Comparison

To make a daily nutrition habit sustainable, it has to fit with your lifestyle and budget. Here’s how Live it Up, Kiala, and Bloom compare in terms of subscription costs, shipping, and returns. 

Loyalty Perks

  • Kiala’s one-time purchase option is a 90-serving supply for $149.85 or $1.67 per serving. With a subscription, customers pay $39.97 per month for a 30-serving supply ($1.33 per serving).
  • A 30-serving container of Bloom Greens & Superfoods usually costs $33.99, or $1.13 per serving. Subscribers pay $28.89 ($0.96 per serving) every month.
  • A one-time order of Live it Up Super Greens is $59.99 for a 30-serving container, or $1.99 per serving. With a monthly subscription that can be paused, adjusted or canceled at any time, customers save 33% and pay $39.99 ($1.33 per serving).

Shipping

  • Kiala and Live it Up both offer free U.S. shipping for all one-time orders and subscriptions.
  • Bloom offers free shipping for subscribers, though one-time orders have a $5 delivery fee unless you spend over $50 in a single transaction.

Return Policies

One of the best ways to make sure a greens powder is right for you is by taste-testing, but that’s not feasible if companies lack a strong risk-free guarantee. 

  • Kiala offers a 45-day satisfaction guarantee.
  • Live it Up offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on initial orders for customers who aren't happy with their purchase for any reason.
  • Bloom customers may send back unopened containers for a refund within 15 days of receiving the product.

Why Choose Live it Up Super Greens

While there’s no substitute for a healthy diet full of whole fruits and vegetables, a comprehensive greens powder may help to bridge the gaps in your nutrient intake. Ingredients and micronutrients matter, which is why I choose Live it Up Super Greens as my daily greens powder supplement. 

Although both Bloom Greens and Kiala have high manufacturing standards, a wide variety of non-GMO ingredients, and fun flavors, they fall short when it comes to gut health support. Kiala completely lacks gut-supporting ingredients like fiber, probiotics, and digestive enzymes, while Bloom includes them but doesn't disclose its probiotic CFU count, making it hard to gauge how much gut-health support its blend actually provides. Live it Up’s smooth texture and naturally derived flavors also win out over the excessive sweetness of sucralose and stevia in Kiala and Bloom.

Of course, everyone has unique taste preferences and wellness goals. However, when it comes to an affordable greens powder that’s easy to prepare, delicious to drink, and full of nutritious ingredients, look no further than my personal favorite, Live it Up Super Greens.
