Complete Wellness Complete Greens Review: Ingredients, Dosages, Serving Costs

Complete Greens by the health and wellbeing ketogenic friendly supplement brand, Complete Wellness. The formula is packed with organic fruit and vegetables, although the formula itself is not actually USDA certified organic, and several digestive enzymes.

Complete Wellness markets the formula as a kind of health insurance, providing the consumer with all of the essential vitamins and minerals for daily optimum health so that they don’t have to worry about cramming tonnes of fresh vegetables into their diet.

I’m keen to take a closer look at this formula, especially because it’s created by the fitness and wellbeing online sensation, Drew Manning (of whom I am a big fan).

If you’re also keen to take a closer look and find out if this formula really could be your nutrient insurance, please read my Drew Mannings' Complete Greens review below.

What is Complete Greens?

One of the first things that I will say about the Complete Wellness website is that it’s not lacking in information. In fact, I think the information almost overwhelms a lot of the pages, especially because a lot of it is actually not that relevant.

For example, on the Complete Greens product page, a lot of what’s said in about 20 paragraphs could be said in 5 sentences.

However, apart from that, I think the website looks good and it operates well. The Complete Greens formula itself is boldly and clearly branded, making it look appealing to potential customers.

Overall, the formula looks good and the brand looks busy and exciting.

Other Keto Greens

Many super greens are suitable for keto-based diets, but some brands position themselves as “keto greens” supplements. I have reviewed a few other Keto greens brands on my site, you may wish to check these out too:

Background on Complete Wellness

Complete Wellness is founded by businessman, author, and Instagram sensation, Drew Manning.

Manning released his book, “Fit2Fat2Fit” in 2012 and it made the New York Times Bestseller list. Due to this, and the fact Manning has successfully produced an online fitness and wellbeing community, Complete Wellness is a successful supplement brand.

Drew Manning Fit to Fat to Fit

Although Complete Greens is a popular product of the brands, a lot of the Keto-friendly formulas also sit on the most popular list, especially Keto Meal Replacement.

I assume a lot of people buying this formula are following Manning’s book and trying to get fit.

Complete Greens Benefits

Complete Wellness claims that the formula will provide the consumer with nutritional insurance by providing the essential vitamins and minerals that they could be missing out on if solely relying on their diet.

The brand also claims to support the digestive system and support nutrient absorption. Apart from that, the brand doesn’t actually make any other individual health benefit claims.

So this leads me to believe either the formula has no other health benefits, or the team behind the formula have slacked when creating this product page on the website.

Complete Greens Ingredients

The Complete Greens formula contains 23 ingredients, all of which are in proprietary blends. Proprietary blends make it impossible for the consumer to figure out how much of each ingredient they’re consuming, and therefore no one but the brand knows what the formula’s make-up is and if the ‘benefits’ will actually work.

If you have read any of my greens reviews, you will know I am not a fan of proprietary blends as they can easily disguise the ingredients used and weights within a formula.

But, as always, I’ll be taking a much closer look at the formula’s blends and trying to figure out whether the formula will actually work or not, a little later on!

However, first, let’s take a look at those ingredients.

  • Organic Greens & Fruit Complex (5,500mg) – Organic Kale, Organic Wheatgrass, Organic Spinach, Organic Chlorella, Organic Spirulina, Organic Alfalfa, Organic Moringa, Organic Acacia Fiber, Organic Coconut Water Powder, Organic Pineapple, Organic Turmeric, Organic Acerola Cherry, Organic Cranberries, Organic Pomegranate, Organic Goji Berry.
  • Digestive Enzymes Complex (500mg) – Bromelain, Lipase, Protease, Amylase.
  • Other Ingredients – Natural Flavor, Malic Acid, Stevia, Cinnamon.

You can see the Complete Greens label that's on the tub here.

How does Complete Greens Taste?

Complete Greens is naturally flavored and has stevia extract to sweeten it. The formula is available in either Apple Cinnamon or Peach Mango. Both flavors taste good and they’re sweet and refreshing and mask the grassy super greens taste well.

The formula doesn’t mix very well and therefore it can taste slightly gritty.

PRO TIP: If the taste is a big factor in your buying decision for greens supplement then please check out the brands I like the most here.

Side Effects

There aren’t any health warnings on the Complete Greens formula tub, but there is one thing that really confuses me, as a brand that’s supposed to be ketogenic friendly. There’s an allergen – milk. Milk isn’t supposed to be consumed on a keto diet, so this is really confusing!

Obviously, if you’re allergic to dairy, lactose intolerant or you’re on a vegan diet, you’ll want to avoid this formula! However, as long as you’re ok with dairy and lactose, you shouldn’t have any adverse effects.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication, you should consult a doctor before consuming any supplements.

Does Complete Greens Work?

The Complete Greens formula is made up of proprietary blends (read what's wrong with proprietary blends), and as you’ll already know if you read my reviews regularly (you should by the way!), it’s impossible to find out how much of a particular ingredient exists within a formula when it’s included in a proprietary blend.

This means that it's also pretty impossible to work out whether a formula will work or not.

However, we can still find some estimated findings from the ingredients list that we have available to us.

Let’s start with the good news – the ingredients in the Digestive Enzymes Complex probably hit the daily recommended dosage and therefore provide the consumer with benefits such as aiding the digestive system, boosting the immune system, and reducing inflammation.

The entire Digestive Enzymes Complex amounts to 500mg, and the recommended daily amount of each ingredient roughly 80mg – 300mg (WebMD), meaning there should be an adequate amount of each.

…some of the ingredients may have the correct amount and may provide benefits, but others won’t.

Looking at the Organic Greens & Fruit Complex, it’s difficult to say if each ingredient will reach the daily recommended dosage because there are so many and the entire blend only amounts to 5,500mg.

For example, Wheatgrass is the second ingredient listed and therefore it holds a heavier weighting than the others after it, but the recommended dosage of Wheatgrass daily is between 3,000-5,000mg per day (Healthline), meaning it’s unlikely that this amount exists in the formula, at least for the high end of this recommendation anyway.

Overall, because it’s impossible to figure out 100% whether this formula will work or not, it has to be said that some of the ingredients may have the correct amount and may provide benefits, but others won’t.

Complete Greens Reviews

Unfortunately, Complete Greens isn’t available on Amazon, and on the third-party sites that it is available on (for example, eBay), there are no customer reviews.

Therefore, I’ve had to use the reviews on the Complete Wellness website for this formula (3). Obviously, these reviews might be biased, so just keep that in mind! For example, there are only 14 reviews with only 5 of them being less than 5-star.
Let’s take a look at a selection of the product reviews below.

Love how this product keeps me regular and takes away the bloating at my belt line. I wish there were more flavors, the apple cinnamon is gross tasting very quickly after the 3rd or forth time consuming it!5-star review

4-star review: I think it tastes great but also think that it’s a little pricey. Would definitely buy more if it wasn’t so expensive. $7.00 for standard 5-7 day shipping is ridiculous especially when you’re already paying almost $50 bucks for the product.4-star review

The taste is very good, and it’s great mixed with vanilla meal replacement! Just the texture of greens ar#]-e something I have a hard time with (that's why I mix with something else). But that's with any greens from any company I've tried – its a greens thing. But I know they are so good for me, so I drink them anyway…lol.4-star review

Money-Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

There’s contradicting information on the Complete Wellness website, with a sticker saying there’s a 365-day money-back guarantee, and an information point saying that Complete Wellness offers a100% ‘no-risk’ 60-day money-back guarantee on all of its products.

Where to buy Complete Greens?

You can purchase Complete Greens on the Complete Wellness website, as well as from a small selection of third-party sites. However, Complete Wellness products should be purchased off the company’s direct website to ensure authenticity.

Is It Worth The Price?

One tub of Complete Greens from the Complete Wellness website contains 30 servings and costs $44.95, meaning the cost per serving works out at $1.50.

If you’re looking to save money and you already know that you like the formula, you can order packages with 2 and more of the tubs for a discounted price.

Shipping costs depend on where you are in the world, but if you spend over $99, shipping is free, although it’s not specified if this is just within the US.

My Final Verdict

Initially, I was so keen to take a closer look at this formula because I really hoped that it was going to live up to its expectations. However, I have figured out that unfortunately, for me, it doesn’t live up to my expectations.

This is really disappointing as I follow Drew's health and fitness journey.

Obviously, I struggle to get past the proprietary blends that make up the formula, but then I also don’t understand the milk allergen warning (keto diets shouldn’t contain milk), and I honestly just feel like there’s a lot of confusion with this brand.

I have to say that I don’t recommend this formula as I know there are super greens formulas out there with full disclosure labels from honest, well-organized brands that actually provide the benefits they claim.
