Jocko Greens is designed to offer nutritional support when your daily demands are high and it becomes difficult to eat healthy whole foods.
If you’re like Jock and not a fan of greens (especially broccoli) then Jocko’s Greens supplement of organic greens and superfoods may benefit you.
If you have been considering buying Jocko Greens then check out my review first as I reveal the ingredients, benefits, and ultimately if it’s worth the price.

Jocko Greens Ingredients
It’s great to see that Jocko adheres to full transparency and has a label showing the dosages of every ingredient in the formula.
The formula contains a nutritious blend of 23 superfoods and adaptogens, many of which you will find in other powdered greens.
Whilst the formula looks to be okay at first glance, I did notice a few issues with it – I go into these in the “does it work” section below.
- Organic Vegetable Blend (5400mg) – Organic spirulina (1170mg), Organic wheatgrass (900mg), Organic kale (900mg), Organic spinach (900mg), Organic beets (360mg), Organic sweet potato (270mg), Organic broccoli sprout (180mg), Organic chlorella (180mg), Organic oat grass (180mg), Organic cabbage (180mg), Organic carrots (180mg)
- Organic Fruit Blend (3600mg) – Organic banana powder (1080mg), Organic pineapple (1080mg), Organic apple powder (450mg), Organic grape (360mg), Organic goji (180mg), Organic pomegranate (180mg), Organic açaí powder (90mg), Organic wild blueberry (90mg), Organic cranberry fruit extract (90mg)
- Rhodiola extract (50mg)
- Ashwagandha extract (50mg)
- Milk thistle extract (50mg)
- S11 probiotics blend (9 billion CFU)
Here is the supplement facts label:
How does Jocko Greens Taste?
You take Jocko Greens by mixing 1 scoop (10.2 g) with 8 oz. water and drinking immediately. I find that greens drinks taste much better when using cool water, even dropping in a few ice cubes makes a difference.
I find that greens powders either use stevia leaf extract or monk fruit to balance out the bitterness of the ingredients. In some cases, both natural sweeteners are used.
Jocke Greens uses monk fruit and is flavored with “pineapple coconut”.
There is a little aftertaste of coconut but unless you really dislike these fruits then you should find it palatable.
I am a fan of both pineapple and coconut and so I don't mind the taste at all.
Side Effects
There are very few side effects from powdered greens although there is a possibility of experiencing mild bloating, especially if you're not used to consuming greens.
If you're taking any prescription medication and/or have a medical condition, the recommended advice is always to seek medical advice before taking any supplements.
Does Jocko Greens Work?
On first glance the ingredient formula looks great. At least we get to see exactly what's inside with each ingredient showing their weights.
It's important to know this so that you can know if a supplement is adequately dosed.
Going through the list of ingredients, I can see that many of them are unfortunately under-dosed which means the effectiveness of this supplement may not be quite as claimed by the manufacturer.
Vegetable Blend
The main ingredient in the formula, Spirulina is in 1180mg that is within the recommended serving per day according to Healthline. Spirulina is a nutritious algae with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it's a popular ingredient in greens powders.
The serving size of Chlorella is VERY disappointing, though. At just 180mg, there is very little of this superfood!
Adaptogens
I am a massive fan of Ashwagandha and Rhodiola and take them daily with my supplement. These adaptogens have amazing anti-stress-reducing properties along with improving mental focus and cognitive abilities.
The adaptogens in Jocko Greens is massively underdosed, though.
According to scientific research (even those quoted by Jocko Fuel) you need dosages of AT LEAST 200mg per day to experience the health benefits.
Jocko Greens contains only 50mg of Ashwagandha and 50mg of Rhodiola – way too little!
Probiotics
Whilst taking probiotics is mostly considered beneficial to health, not all health professionals agree.
Many greens powders contain probiotics even though these nutrients are very unstable and including them in multi-ingredient formulas may affect their effectiveness.
I prefer to look at separate probiotic supplements so that I can taken them at the recommended time.
Jocko Greens Reviews
Apart from my feedback, I like to get customer reviews who have tried the product. Ideally, these are from third-party sites like Amazon.
The Amazon reviews are good for Jocko Greens with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5. There are clearly Jocko fans shopping on Amazon that like the product!
Here are a few reviews to highlight the pros and cons of Jocko Greens.
This is an amazing product with a great flavor. It has spirulina minus the smell. I can tell the difference after a week, zero bloating, more energy, excellent cleansing, zero inflammation, and most important I don't feel tired.5-stars
The flavor is okay, kinda chalky, but not bad. I’ve almost finished one container and it’s as though I no longer feel the boost anymore.4 stars
I’m a huge fan of Jocko so decided to give his greens a try. I’ve used Mtn Ops and InnoGreens prior to using his. I do believe his ingredients are very high quality which I appreciate. But unfortunately, none of that matters if you can’t get past the taste. InnoGreens are far better in flavor.2 stars
Money-Back Guarantee / Returns Policy
The official website says you can “exchange new, unused and unwashed items” by completing the online form.
I couldn't find any information that outlines their policy though and so unsure how long the “money-back guarantee” is and how much money is refunded.
Where to buy Jocko Greens?
You can buy Jocko Greens from the official Origin Labs store or from their Amazon shop.
Is It Worth The Price?
Yes and no.
Each one-off tub of Jocko Greens cost $49.99 with a monthly subscription having a 10% discount making your monthly tub a reasonable $44.95.
This is very affordable as far as the average price of greens powders that I have seen after looking at over 77 greens supplements to date.
Not all ingredients are sufficiently dosed though, and so you should take this into account when looking at value for month.
The Bottom Line
Jocko Greens has a decent ingredient formula from a respected brand.
If you're on a budget, this is a cost-effective way to get some superfoods and adaptogens.
Importantly though, is that some of the crucial ingredients are under-dosed (especially the adaptogens) and so won't be as powerful as other more potent greens on the market.
Jocko Greens is a good choice if on a budget and are okay with having some ingredients under-dosed. If you're looking for a more potent greens formula, this will be top of my list.

Some Call This An "Extreme" Step...
Most super greens supplements are disappointing.
I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.
I wasn’t happy with the results so I did something you might call "extreme"....
In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:
- No hidden ingredient amounts - we have full disclosure labelling, so you know EXACTLY whats inside
- Ingredient amounts that make a difference - we include the minimum effective amounts supported by research, and most of the time, MORE
- Ingredients that help immunity, boost mental clarity and shake off brain fog - making for a much more productive and happy lifestyle
No more worrying about ineffective ingredients or too low dosages. I finally have a product I KNOW does the job it’s made to do.
I use it every day and, after years of battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I now have my energy (and my life!) back.
The good news? I made my brand available to the public so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.
