Organifi Green Juice Review: An In-Depth Look

By Lydia Noyes

Updated on: Jun 22, 2020

Organifi Green Juice is a powdered supplement that promises to give you plant-based nutrition without requiring you to shop for and prepare fresh ingredients.

The company’s primary goal is to help customers make healthy living a priority through convenient juices and supplements that can substitute for fresh food at their convenience.

Organifi sells multiple products, but we’re going to focus on the powdered Green Juice. Our analysis of this product will help you decide whether it is the right choice for your health.

Possible Benefits and How to Take It

Organifi Green Juice comes powdered in a shelf-stable canister. You are meant to dissolve one scoop in water for an instant drink. The company suggests taking one serving in the morning, though you can also take it around your workouts or as a mid-day boost.

The company claims that this organic drink blend hydrates and revitalizes you while naturally balancing your hormones, helping your body deal with the effects of stress, boosting your immune function, and supporting mental clarity.

Though it’s possible to add any ingredients you choose to Organifi, the powder’s intended purpose is to be taken alone.

A single-scoop serving size includes the following nutrients (30 scoops per container):

  • Total Carbohydrate: 6g
  • Protein: 2g
  • Calcium: 31mg
  • Iron: 3mg
  • Sodium: 10mg
  • Alkaline Greens Proprietary Blend: 5.1g
  • Super Food Proprietary Blend: 1.45g

Analysis of Ingredients

All Organifi ingredients are certified organic and non-GMO verified. The product isn’t FDA-approved but is manufactured in FDA-approved facilities.

Most of the ingredients are contained within two proprietary blends, called the “Alkaline Greens Proprietary Blend” and “Super Food Proprietary Blend.”

This means that the company does not disclose how much of each ingredient is contained within the powder. This makes it difficult to comment on whether there is enough of the active ingredients to provide the suggested health benefits.

Acknowledging this limitation, here is the medical research for each ingredient:

Moringa

This North Indian tree has long been used in traditional herbal medicines. Almost every part of the tree can be used, though the leaves are most often ground and used as a powder in dietary supplements.

Moringa is high in antioxidants and often considered a wonder food, though you need to consume about a cup of the leaves to get the full benefits. The amount likely contained in a serving of green powdered juice like Organifi Green Juice often makes the nutrient content negligible.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a nutrient-dense form of algae that will purportedly rid your body of toxins and improve your cholesterol levels. This single-celled organism is 50–60% protein and contains a wide range of antioxidants.

Though large doses can provide you with lots of fiber, most supplement serving sizes will contain less than one gram per dose.

There’s also evidence that chlorella will bind to heavy metals to remove them from your body, but most existing studies have only been conducted on animals.

Mint

This fragrant herb is added to Organifi Green Juice to give it a refreshing taste. Even so, the plant has one of the highest antioxidant capacities of any food, and it has stomach-soothing properties that can help prevent gas and indigestion.

Spirulina

Spirulina, another name for blue-green algae, is considered one of the healthiest supplements available.

One tablespoon (7 grams) contains four grams of protein, 21% of your daily copper requirements, and decent amounts of vitamins B1, B2, and B3. However, that’s far more than you’re getting in a serving of green juice.

Beets

When this root vegetable is powdered and added to green juices, its compounds can work to reduce swelling and cholesterol as well as increase your levels of nitric oxide. This affects your blood vessels in ways that potentially improve your blood pressure and potentially improve your exercise capacity.

Matcha Green Tea

This powdered green tea is designed to be dissolved in water and drunk as is. This gives you the full nutritional value of the tea leaves, providing more than 100 times the antioxidants of regular green tea and ten times the nutritional content of regular tea.

Wheatgrass

Popular as an ingredient in green juices, wheatgrass is made from sprouted leaves of the wheat plant. The compound is high in nutrients, especially antioxidants, and one study from 2006 found that wheatgrass successfully reduces oxidative damage done to cells.

However, most research thus far has been conducted on test tube cells or animals, so more studies are needed to verify these benefits for humans.

Ashwagandha

This versatile plant is considered an adaptogen, which means that it helps the body better deal with daily stress. Some people also take it for its purported benefits for arthritis and cognitive abilities.

However, you might need to take up to 600mg a day to experience any benefits, which is likely more than is contained in the 1.45 gram “Super Food Proprietary Blend.”

Turmeric

Turmeric is a spice known for its curcumin content. This compound is an anti-inflammatory agent that shows benefits for relieving the symptoms of arthritis, clogged arteries, and similar conditions.

It’s also been used for centuries to treat digestion problems, and preliminary evidence shows that it might reduce inflammation associated with weight gain.

Key Takeaways

Organifi Green Juice contains a wide variety of plant-based ingredients that promise to deliver profound health benefits. However, for most of them, you would need to take a larger serving size than a scoop of Organifi Green Juice to experience the benefits.

And, as these ingredients come in proprietary blends, it’s hard to know what their ratios are in the juice blend.

Possible Side Effects

Though there are few side effects associated with Organifi Green Juice’s ingredients individually, you may potentially run into problems from taking them in concentrated form as a green juice.

Extreme juice cleanses are associated with adverse side effects like diarrhea, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. To fall within this category, though, you would need to drink nothing but green juice for days in a row.

You might also experience stomach problems if you don’t usually eat much produce as your stomach adjusts to the higher fiber content. So long as you stick to Organifi’s recommended serving sizes and have fewer than three servings a day, any stomach issues you experience will likely be temporary.

Organifi products are manufactured in California. This means the company must comply with Proposition 65 and post a warning that the ingredients in the product might contain enough carcinogens to cause health problems such as cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

All California-based companies that sell products with ingredients that are on this list must legally post this warning, and it doesn’t indicate that the supplement is any more dangerous than that of a non-California-based competitor.

Will Organifi Green Juice Help You Lose Weight?

Many people who purchase products like Organifi Green Juice do so with the goal of losing weight.

These drinks tend to be low in calories but high in nutrients. This makes them a viable option for meeting your daily fruit and vegetable intake requirements, but they won’t leave you satiated as a real meal should.

In other words, you might find yourself reaching for a snack soon after finishing a serving of this juice because it is lower in fiber than fresh fruits and vegetables. This might cause you to sabotage your diet plans without meaning to.

Likewise, a 2015 analysis of the effects of chewing on appetite found that chewing decreases self-reported hunger and increases overall satisfaction and satiety.

So to summarize, taking a green juice drink like Organifi Green Juice will give you nutrients that are essential for good health, but the beverage won’t leave you feeling like you just had a meal, and consequently won’t deter you from compensating with unhealthy choices.

For this reason, it’s best to consider a green powder drink as a supplemental nutritional resource for a healthy diet, rather than a way to curb your cravings.

You’ll fare better in most cases if you reach for whole fruits and vegetables instead. Not only do they give you lots of water, but they contain filling fiber that prevents you from overeating and makes it easier to stick to calorie limitations.

If you want to feel fuller while using Organifi Green Juice, we suggest incorporating it into a smoothie with nutrient-rich ingredients like yogurt, bananas, and possibly protein powder.

Organifi Green Juice is sold for:

  • 1 Bottle: $69.95 (30 servings)
  • 3 Bottles: $178.38
  • 6 Bottles: $356.75

Analysis of Customer Reviews

On our website, over 50 customers have reviewed this product for an average rating of 2.7-stars out of five. Here are some of their key takeaways:

Positive Health Benefits

Many Organifi Green Juice users noticed physical benefits from using this product. Several stated that they used the juice as a caffeine-free way to wake up in the morning, that it kept their digestive system regular, and that it helped them get off gout medication.

Others mentioned that they started feeling the health impacts of the juice a few hours after the first glass and that it reduced their need for a mid-afternoon nap.

Great Taste

Lots of reviewers seem happy with Organifi’s taste, especially compared to other powdered green smoothie brands. Many mentioned that the powder dissolved quickly in water and left a smooth texture.

Billing and Customer Service Issues

Not all Organifi users seemed to receive the products they ordered. A few reported that they were shipped empty boxes from the company without any products inside.

Others stated that they struggled to get a refund from the company for products that they weren’t happy with. They wrote that Organifi contested their 60-day return policy or stopped responding to messages, leaving them without their refund.

Not Fans of the Taste and Texture

Some reviewers noted that the Organifi Green Drink didn’t blend well in a glass and had a too-sweet taste that was off-putting. Others didn’t like the mint flavor combined with the greens.

Key Takeaways

Overall, some think the flavor and benefits are incredible, while others find the drink too sweet, hard to dissolve in a glass, and devoid of health benefits.

We think you will have a better experience with this beverage if you already know that you like powdered green juice drinks.

The Bottom Line

Oraganifi Green Juice contains promising ingredients with high nutritional content. Many have been the focus of clinical studies that prove their efficacy.

However, you will potentially need to take far more than a serving of Organifi to match the results from these studies.

Another concern is that a powdered green juice like Organifi is lower in fiber than the nutritional equivalent of fresh produce, which means that it won’t leave you feeling as full after a serving. That’s not ideal for weight loss.

While it’s almost always better to choose real fruits and vegetables instead, a drink like Organifi Green Juice can help you fill in the gaps on days when you know you won’t meet your daily requirements.

Don't get involved with this company

By Monica Begley, Verified Reviewer

I purchased this, and because I was on auto-ship I received my second can before I used up the first one. So I called numerous (10) times, left messages and emailed to have them cancel auto ship and even stated that I would order when needed. They then charged me a third time and still have not responded to any of my requests. Because of this I am going to have to go to the bank to stop any more charges to my debit card. I don't care how wonderful this product is, I will never order again, and I will tell anyone who will listen not to also. Bad business practices. Bordering on scam.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Save your money

By Dennis, Draper, UT, Verified Reviewer

My wife bought a jar for me to try. If I had know how much it costs, I would have strongly suggested that she not buy it. Anyway, when the jar of Organifil came, I thought it was quite small for the money (Something like $55 or $60 bucks). Then when I opened the lid, the jar was only half full. It is suppose to last for 30 days but I got about 25. I have finished off the jar and haven't felt any different than I did before. Be warned, you will receive a jar every month automatically charged to your credit card. My wife is returning the 2nd jar that came the other day.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Save your money

By Spring Hawkins-Scott, Winter Haven, FL , Verified Reviewer

The most upsetting thing I discovered was while drinking the juice and reading the can this is the following text: “Warning: this product may contain a chemical known to the state of CA to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.” After reading that tiny print, I was afraid to drink anymore. I paid for a one time shipment of three cans, so not worth it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Scam for sure

By Pat , NH

I placed the order to later find they mandatory put you on a subscription for three months -- like it or not. After charging my account I found this out and canceled. It's been a month, no money back and no product sent -- SCAM.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bad Smell & Terrible Customer Service

By JStover, Tennessee , Verified Reviewer

Buyer beware. This "awesome green juice" made me start feeling weird 30 minutes after drinking. DON'T SMELL IT or you can't tolerate it at all. It smells putrid! I didn't like how it made me feel, so I attempted to contact customer service to get a refund under their so called guarantee. These jokers are just a bunch of scam artists, like a lot of them out there.

The customer service is shady. I called them 3 times to cancel any future automatic shipments, and also to return what I had under the "money back guarantee". Then two weeks later, no RA# or call back from customer service, but they charged me $72 and auto-shipped me. All this AFTER I provided all the info they needed during the 3 calls.

Not only that, but this stuff is nasty. So you've been warned. Stay away.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Never received product

By kkaslp06, Indianapolis, IN, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this product on 7/29 and it was immediately charged to my PayPal account. They say that it will be shipped within in 2 days and should be received within 5-10 business days. After 10 business days, I attempted to contact the company twice and was on hold for 10+ minutes before finally hanging up. I sent an email asking when my order would be received and got a vague response about their shipping system being updated, causing delays in shipments. They gave me no information about my order. I responded to their email asking for a date, but have yet to receive a response. I have attempted to request cancelation of this order through Clickbank, so hopefully I'll get it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don't Buy Organifi

By Julia Cain, San Diego, CA, Verified Reviewer

I ordered Organifi Green Juice, mainly because it supposedly comes with a 30-day “no questions asked” refund policy. To get the address to return it to, you have to call a phone number 760-487-8587, to get an authorization number. The problem is that no one ever answers the phone. They say 'leave a message and we will call you back in one business day'. They don't call back. I have left numerous messages. I believe this place is a scam. I will file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and with my credit card company.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don't do it! Terrible experience, not getting my money back ever

By Susanna Haberle, Florida, Verified Reviewer

In good faith, I purchased the product.

Problem #1. It does not dissolve like it is supposed to, and most of it sticks to the cup or glass.

Problem #2. It does not taste good.

Problem #3. When I tried to return it, NOBODY answers the phone, calls you back, or just "isn't taking calls."

Problem #4. If you call your bank to not allow them to charge your account, they will use a slightly different name to charge you anyways.

Problem #5. The product did not help me to feel different in any way, at all, whatsoever.

Problem #6. This was a complete hassle, I will never get my money back, and they are an amazing scam company that only cares about making money.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Scam artist all the way

By Yvonne McMullen, Glendale, AZ, Verified Reviewer

What a friggin scam this is!

I signed up for the “free” 3-pack of single serving packets that they advertise here, put in my credit card info, address etc., and then the only way to continue is to order a 30-day supply and an additional subscription for this product every month after that.

You can’t order the “free” 3-pack of single servings. What a friggin scam artist they are! How about actually being true to your word?

Buyer beware!

Do not do it!

By Kasey Duvall, Georgia, Verified Reviewer

The first time I ordered the green juice, it was great. So the fitness coach Robert Golston called and asked if I would like to order more products. I said yes, and it's a month later, and I still have not received my products. I have tried calling, and they say to leave a message. Well, conveniently enough their mailbox is full. I have emailed several different people, and no one has responded. I would not recommend anyone have this experience.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Organifi has cancer causing ingredients

By Andy Savenok, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

Organifi is too good to be true because it is. In the green juice, they don't show the nutritional content on the label because it's a placebo. I use their complete protein, which in very small print has the Prop65 warning on it, which means cancer causing ingredients. And when you try to contact them (which I have been trying to for over a month) they never reply.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
