The formula is packed with organic fruit and vegetables, although the formula itself is not actually USDA certified organic, and several digestive enzymes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>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\u2019t have to worry about cramming tonnes of fresh vegetables into their diet.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m keen to take a closer look at this formula, especially because it\u2019s created by the fitness and wellbeing online sensation, Drew Manning (of whom I am a big fan). <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-tub.jpg\" alt=\"Complete Greens tub\" width=\"450\" height=\"467\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-tub.jpg 450w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-tub-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-tub-20x20.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"greenb\"><strong><em>I tried over 40 brands: check out my <a href=\"\/best-greens-powders\/\">best complete greens powder<\/a>!)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What is Complete Greens?<\/h2>\n<p>One of the first things that I will say about the Complete Wellness website is that it\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>For example, on the Complete Greens product page, a lot of what\u2019s said in about 20 paragraphs could be said in 5 sentences.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, the formula looks good and the brand looks busy and exciting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb\">\n<h3>Other Keto Greens<\/h3>\n<p>Many super greens are suitable for keto-based diets, but some brands position themselves as \u201cketo greens\u201d supplements. I have reviewed a few other Keto greens brands on my site, you may wish to check these out too:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/perfect-keto-greens-review\/\">Perfect Keto Greens<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/ketond-super-greens-review\/\">Ketond Super Greens<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Background on Complete Wellness<\/h2>\n<p>Complete Wellness is founded by businessman, author, and Instagram sensation, Drew Manning. <\/p>\n<p>Manning released his book, \u201cFit2Fat2Fit\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drew-manning-fit-fat-fit.jpg\" alt=\"Drew Manning Fit to Fat to Fit\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drew-manning-fit-fat-fit.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drew-manning-fit-fat-fit-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drew-manning-fit-fat-fit-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drew-manning-fit-fat-fit-20x11.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>I assume a lot of people buying this formula are following Manning\u2019s book and trying to get fit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bb\">\n<h2>Complete Greens Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The brand also claims to support the digestive system and support nutrient absorption. Apart from that, the brand doesn\u2019t actually make any other individual health benefit claims. <\/p>\n<p>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.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Complete Greens Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>The Complete Greens formula contains 23 ingredients, all of which are in proprietary blends. Proprietary blends make it <strong>impossible for the consumer to figure out how much of each ingredient they\u2019re consuming<\/strong>, and therefore no one but the brand knows what the formula\u2019s make-up is and if the \u2018benefits\u2019 will actually work.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>But, as always, I\u2019ll be taking a much closer look at the formula\u2019s blends and trying to figure out whether the formula will actually work or not, a little later on! <\/p>\n<div class=\"gb\">\nHowever, first, let\u2019s take a look at those ingredients. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Organic Greens &#038; Fruit Complex (5,500mg)<\/strong> \u2013 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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digestive Enzymes Complex (500mg)<\/strong> \u2013 Bromelain, Lipase, Protease, Amylase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other Ingredients<\/strong> \u2013 Natural Flavor, Malic Acid, Stevia, Cinnamon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can see the Complete Greens label that's on the tub here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-label.jpg\" alt=\"Complete Greens label\" width=\"430\" height=\"277\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-label.jpg 430w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-label-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/complete-greens-label-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How does Complete Greens Taste?<\/h2>\n<p>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\u2019re sweet and refreshing and mask the grassy super greens taste well.<\/p>\n<p>The formula doesn\u2019t mix very well and therefore it <strong>can taste slightly gritty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yb\">PRO TIP: If the taste is a big factor in your buying decision for greens supplement then please check out the brands <a href=\"\/best-tasting-greens-powders\/\">I like the most here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<h2>Side Effects<\/h2>\n<p>There aren\u2019t any health warnings on the Complete Greens formula tub, but there is one thing that really confuses me, as a brand that\u2019s supposed to be ketogenic friendly. There\u2019s an allergen \u2013 milk. Milk isn\u2019t supposed to be consumed on a keto diet, so this is really confusing!<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, if you\u2019re allergic to dairy, lactose intolerant or you\u2019re on a vegan diet, you\u2019ll want to avoid this formula! However, as long as you\u2019re ok with dairy and lactose, you shouldn\u2019t have any adverse effects.<\/p>\n<p>If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication, you should consult a doctor before consuming any supplements.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Complete Greens Work?<\/h2>\n<p>The Complete Greens formula is <strong>made up of proprietary blends<\/strong> (read what's <a href=\"\/why-proprietary-blends-are-a-big-deal\/\">wrong with proprietary blends<\/a>), and as you\u2019ll already know if you read my reviews regularly (you should by the way!), it\u2019s impossible to find out how much of a particular ingredient exists within a formula when it\u2019s included in a proprietary blend. <\/p>\n<p>This means that it's also pretty <strong>impossible to work out whether a formula will work or not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, we can still find some estimated findings from the ingredients list that we have available to us.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the good news \u2013 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. <\/p>\n<p>The entire Digestive Enzymes Complex amounts to 500mg, and the recommended daily amount of each ingredient roughly 80mg \u2013 300mg (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/supplement-guide-bromelain-bromelin\">WebMD<\/a>), meaning there should be an adequate amount of each.<\/p>\n<div class=\"standout-box\">&#8230;some of the ingredients <strong>may have the correct amount and may provide benefits<\/strong>, but others won\u2019t.<\/div>\n<p>Looking at the Organic Greens &#038; Fruit Complex, it\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>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 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/food-nutrition\/wheatgrass-benefits#possible-sideeffects\">Healthline<\/a>), meaning it\u2019s unlikely that this amount exists in the formula, at least for the high end of this recommendation anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, because it\u2019s 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\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wheatgrass-glass-greens.jpg\" alt=\"Wheatgrass greens drink\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wheatgrass-glass-greens.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wheatgrass-glass-greens-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wheatgrass-glass-greens-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/wheatgrass-glass-greens-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Complete Greens Reviews<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, Complete Greens isn\u2019t available on Amazon, and on the third-party sites that it is available on (for example, eBay), <strong>there are no customer reviews.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I\u2019ve 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.<br \/>\n Let\u2019s take a look at a selection of the product reviews below.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>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!<cite>5-star review<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>4-star review: I think it tastes great but also think that it\u2019s a little pricey. Would definitely buy more if it wasn\u2019t so expensive. $7.00 for standard 5-7 day shipping is ridiculous especially when you\u2019re already paying almost $50 bucks for the product.<cite>4-star review<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>The taste is very good, and it\u2019s 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 &#8211; its a greens thing. But I know they are so good for me, so I drink them anyway&#8230;lol.<cite>4-star review<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Money-Back Guarantee \/ Returns Policy<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s contradicting information on the Complete Wellness website, with a sticker saying there\u2019s a 365-day money-back guarantee, and an information point saying that Complete Wellness offers a100% \u2018no-risk\u2019  60-day money-back guarantee on all of its products.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to buy Complete Greens?<\/h2>\n<p>You can purchase Complete Greens on the <a href=\"https:\/\/completewellness.com\/products\/complete-greens\">Complete Wellness website<\/a>, as well as from a small selection of third-party sites. However, Complete Wellness products should be purchased off the company\u2019s direct website to ensure authenticity.<\/p>\n<h2>Is It Worth The Price?<\/h2>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p>Shipping costs depend on where you are in the world, but if you spend over $99, shipping is free, although it\u2019s not specified if this is just within the US.<\/p>\n<h2>My Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<p>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\u2019t live up to my expectations. <\/p>\n<p>This is really disappointing as I follow Drew's health and fitness journey.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, I struggle to get past the proprietary blends that make up the formula, but then I also don\u2019t understand the milk allergen warning (keto diets shouldn\u2019t contain milk), and I honestly just feel like there\u2019s a lot of confusion with this brand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have to say that I don\u2019t 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-greens-box\"><h6>LifeHacker Guy Greens Recommendation<\/h6><div class=\"internal-wrapper\"><a href=\"\/supergreen-tonik-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/cdn.lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/themes\/lhg-theme2\/images\/adam-sgt-new-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"SuperGreen TONIK tub\"\/><\/a><p><strong>Some Call This An \"Extreme\" Step...<\/strong><\/p><p>Most super greens supplements are disappointing.<\/p><p>I learned this the hard way.
