Ingredients and Benefits
Bulk Complete Greens contains a blend of the following ingredients:
- Spirulina: Known for its high protein content and rich source of vitamins and minerals.
- Chlorella (Broken Cell Wall): A type of algae that's believed to support detoxification and boost the immune system.
- Broccoli: Packed with vitamin C and K, folic acid, and fibre.
- Pumpkin Seed Protein: A plant-based protein source that is rich in antioxidants.
- Spinach: High in iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C.
- Natural Flavouring: Added to improve the taste of the mix.
- Alfalfa: Known for its high nutrient content, including vitamins A, C, E, and K.
- Acid (Citric Acid): Used to enhance the flavour.
- Moringa: Often referred to as a superfood, packed with over 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants.
- Kale: High in fibre, antioxidants, calcium, and vitamins C and K.
- Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides from Stevia): A natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant.
It’s important to mention that Bulk uses proprietary blends in their formulation, meaning the exact quantities of each ingredient are not disclosed. This lack of transparency can be a concern if you want to know precisely what you’re getting. For comparison, Verve V80, a competitor, boasts an impressive 80 ingredients with full transparency on dosages.
The problem with proprietary blends is that companies can hide the amounts; meaning nothing is stopping them from including the expensive ingredients that are most beneficial to you in tiny amounts while filling the mix high with sweetener, acid, and flavouring to perform well on taste, and keep costs down.
Furthermore, Bulk only provides macronutrient information, rather than disclosing micronutrients such as vitamins - so you don’t know how close you are to hitting your vitamin intake either.
Taste
Taste is a significant factor when choosing a greens powder, and Bulk Complete Greens has received mixed reviews, but the majority is positive.
Some reviewers appreciate the natural flavour profile and find it palatable.
However, some reviewers call it ‘revolting’, but we can’t really knock Bulk here, because almost every greens powder on the market has mixed reviews on taste.
Pricing & Serving Size
Bulk Complete Greens is available in two sizes:
- 100g option: Priced at £9.99, providing only 11 servings.
- 500g option: Priced at £34.99.
At first glance, the pricing appears budget-friendly, especially when compared to other greens powders in the market. However, the value proposition becomes less clear when you consider the lack of transparency on ingredient quantities and the limited variety of ingredients. Without knowing the exact dosages, it's challenging to assess the true nutritional value of the product.
Though, what we do like is that the entry price point is quite low compared to the rest of the market.
