Key Similarities Between the Bloom & and Kiala Greens Powders

Below are listed the general similarities between both products:

Based on their websites, there are no experts involved with either brand and there are no advisory boards or other scientific backing for either brand.
Both Products seem to have some degree of solubility issues that can leave grittiness. This looks like it can be remedied by using a shaker or blender.
Both products have reviews that mention bloating after using the product. It’s not uncommon to experience bloating or minor gastrointestinal distress when starting to take a new supplement; often, your body will go through an adjustment period as it gets used to things in the ingredients list that are new to you
Use of Proprietary Ingredient Blends:
- Bloom Greens & Superfoods- 7 blends (fiber, green superfood, pre and probiotic, fruit and vegetable, antioxidant beauty, digestive enzyme and adaptogenic)
- Kiala Super Greens- 2 blends (organic greens and antioxidant) as well as organic coconut water powder, natural flavors, and other ingredients

Use of Sweetener to Make Product Taste Better:
- Bloom Greens & Superfoods- Uses the natural sweetener stevia leaf extract
- Kiala Super Greens- Uses the artificial sweetener sucralose

Product comes in Multiple Flavors:
- Bloom Greens & Superfoods- Comes in 7 flavors (berry, strawberry-kiwi, orange-passionfruit, coconut, citrus, original and mango)
- Kiala Super Greens- Comes in 9 flavors (tropical splash, mixed berry, strawberry swirl, lemon drop, carnival candy, watermelon slush, sherbet swirl, green apple and Miami vice)

Because the amounts of each ingredient in a serving is not listed for either product, it is extremely likely that all ingredients are present in quantities too small to be able to carry out the claimed benefits.

Final Thoughts

The decision to use greens powders like Bloom Greens & Superfoods or Kiala Super Greens is quite personal and can vary based on individual needs, preferences, and circumstances. Greens powders are not a substitute for actually eating fruits and veggies, no matter how popular they are on TikTok or Instagram, but they can provide some of the benefits without having to eat salads all day. However, if you choose to use a greens powder, it is advisable to choose brands that are 3rd-party verified for quality assurance. This guarantee ensures that what you’re consuming is safe, effective, and aligns with the product’s stated claims.

The biggest problem with the Bloom product is the significantly small dosage of the ingredients. It’s a red flag that there are 30+ ingredients, but only 1 tablespoon per serving. Additionally, both products fail to list the exact amount of each ingredient per serving so it’s hard to believe there is enough for the claimed benefits to be achieved.

The Kiala product lacks probiotics and adaptogens, but If you are interested in these or other ingredients there are more effective supplements with transparent doses listed, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Based on product website and Amazon customer reviews, the Kiala Greens powder rates a little better than the Bloom Greens powder and I think most of that has to due with taste.

As with any gut health supplement there may be sensitivities that can be triggered that can cause GI issues so, we recommend that you consult with a doctor or certified nutritionist before consuming. In addition, as with any other probiotic it takes time and consistency, and overall results can vary from individual to individual.
