What Is in Bloom Greens? Blends, Allergens & More

Bloom Greens & Superfoods contains over 30 ingredients organized into seven proprietary blends, including greens, fruits, vegetables, probiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, and adaptogens. The total serving size comes out to roughly 5 grams of powder, and the product is marketed as gluten-free, plant-based, and dairy-free. Here’s a closer look at what’s actually inside each scoop.

The Seven Blends

Rather than listing individual ingredient amounts, Bloom groups everything into blends and only discloses the total weight of each one. The largest is the fiber blend at 1,606 milligrams, built around chicory root fiber and organic flax seed powder. Next is the green superfood blend at 1,367 milligrams, which includes organic barley grass, spirulina, wheatgrass, alfalfa leaf, and chlorella. These are common “greens powder” staples that provide chlorophyll and trace minerals, though the amounts of each individual ingredient aren’t specified.

The remaining five blends are smaller. The pre and probiotic blend (648 milligrams) contains blue agave as a prebiotic alongside three bacterial strains: Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The fruit and vegetable blend (572 milligrams) packs in carrot, beet, kale, blueberry, spinach, broccoli, ginger, cranberry, strawberry, raspberry, and sour cherry. The antioxidant blend (550 milligrams) features elderberry, acai, goji, moringa, grape seed extract, and matcha green tea. A digestive enzyme blend (150 milligrams) includes enzymes like amylase, protease, cellulase, and lipase, which help break down starches, proteins, fiber, and fats. Finally, the adaptogenic blend is the smallest at just 100 milligrams total.

The Adaptogen Blend

Bloom includes six adaptogenic herbs: licorice root extract, rhodiola root powder, American ginseng root extract, ashwagandha root powder, astragalus root powder, and eleuthero root powder. These are plants traditionally used to help the body manage stress, and several of them have some clinical evidence behind them. Ashwagandha, for example, has been studied at doses of 300 to 600 milligrams per day for its effects on cortisol and stress levels. Rhodiola is typically studied at 200 to 400 milligrams.

The problem is that the entire adaptogen blend totals only 100 milligrams, split six ways. That means each individual herb likely contains somewhere around 15 to 20 milligrams, which is well below the doses used in clinical research. This doesn’t mean you won’t notice anything, but it’s worth knowing these are present in trace amounts rather than therapeutic doses.

The Proprietary Blend Problem

The biggest criticism of Bloom Greens from nutrition professionals centers on transparency. The label tells you what’s in each blend but not how much of each ingredient you’re getting. A blend listing spirulina first and chlorella last tells you there’s more spirulina than chlorella (ingredients are listed in descending order by weight), but it doesn’t tell you whether you’re getting 500 milligrams of spirulina or 50.

This matters because many of the ingredients in Bloom have studied effective doses, and without knowing the individual amounts, there’s no way to evaluate whether a serving delivers enough of any single ingredient to have a meaningful effect. The fruit and vegetable blend, for instance, contains 572 milligrams of powder spread across 11 different fruits and vegetables. For reference, a single medium carrot weighs about 60,000 milligrams. The blend isn’t replacing whole produce in your diet.

No Third-Party Testing

Bloom Nutrition products are not third-party tested. This means they haven’t been independently verified by organizations like NSF International or Informed Choice, which screen supplements for heavy metals, contaminants, and label accuracy. A lifestyle medicine expert quoted in Healio specifically flagged that Bloom has not been screened for toxins such as cadmium or lead, both of which can accumulate in greens powders due to the soil conditions where the plants are grown. Third-party testing isn’t legally required for supplements, but many competing greens powders do carry these certifications.

Dietary Labels and Allergens

Bloom lists the product as gluten-free, plant-based, and dairy-free on its official site. However, it does contain wheatgrass and barley grass. While the grass form of these grains is generally considered gluten-free (gluten is concentrated in the seed, not the grass), people with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity sometimes still react. The product also contains maltodextrin, a common filler derived from starch that helps with mixability and flavor but has no nutritional benefit.

What You’re Actually Getting Per Scoop

Adding up all seven blends gives you roughly 5 grams of active powder per serving. The largest components by weight are fiber (chicory root and flax) and greens (barley grass, spirulina, wheatgrass). Everything else is present in sub-gram amounts. The probiotics are there but the label doesn’t specify colony-forming units (CFUs), which is the standard measure of whether a probiotic dose is large enough to colonize your gut. The digestive enzymes and adaptogens are present in very small quantities.

Bloom Greens is best understood as a light supplement that adds some fiber, a small dose of greens, and trace amounts of several other functional ingredients to your daily routine. It is not a replacement for eating vegetables, and the individual ingredient amounts are too low and too opaque to compare directly with standalone supplements like a dedicated ashwagandha or probiotic product.
