Best Superfood Greens 2026: Spirulina and Chlorella
Our picks for 2026: Raw Revelations Spirulina for a greens powder you can mix into anything, and Raw Revelations Chlorella for organic greens in tablet form. Raw Revelations makes both. Below is how to judge any greens supplement, what to look for on the label, and how ours measure up, so you can check the claims yourself.
- A good greens supplement comes down to four things: what is actually in it, where it is grown, how it is processed, and how you will take it.
- Raw Revelations keeps its greens single-ingredient, so you always know exactly what is in the scoop or tablet.
- Raw Revelations Spirulina is 100% Spirulina platensis grown in the Sonoran Desert of California, and contains the blue antioxidant pigment phycocyanin.
- Raw Revelations Chlorella is 100% organic broken-cell-wall Chlorella pyrenoidosa from Taiwan, with no fillers or excipients.
- Spirulina is a powder for drinks and smoothies; chlorella comes as 250 mg tablets, 500 per bottle.
Why this matters
Greens supplements promise a lot of nutrition in one scoop, and many are blends of dozens of ingredients listed under one proprietary total. That makes it hard to know how much of anything you are actually getting.
Single-ingredient greens such as spirulina and chlorella are the opposite: one ingredient, fully disclosed. They are among the most nutrient-dense whole foods you can add to a routine, rich in chlorophyll, protein, minerals and antioxidants.
Raw Revelations covers ingredient education across its clean supplement lineup, and the same scrutiny applies here.
What makes a good greens supplement
- Full disclosure: you should be able to see every ingredient and how much of it there is. Single-ingredient greens make this easy.
- Growing conditions: algae take up what is in their water, so where and how they are grown matters.
- Processing: chlorella has a tough cell wall; broken-cell-wall chlorella is processed so your body can use it.
- No fillers: look for products without fillers, binders or excipients.
- Format: a powder mixes into drinks; tablets are easier to take on the go.

1. Spirulina: the easy everyday greens powder
Raw Revelations Spirulina is grown in the Sonoran Desert of California, where clean air, pure water and intense sunshine make excellent growing conditions, under stringent quality control. It is abundant in amino acids, chlorophyll, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, including the blue pigment phycocyanin. Start with 1 teaspoon and build up to a normal serving of 1 to 3 teaspoons, straight or mixed into water, juice or a smoothie; it works especially well with berry or cacao smoothies and citrus or pineapple juice.
2. Chlorella: organic greens in a tablet
Chlorella is the highest known food source of chlorophyll, about 10% by weight, and is about 40% protein, with minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids. Raw Revelations Chlorella is 100% organic broken-cell-wall Chlorella pyrenoidosa from Taiwan, with no fillers or excipients. If you are new to it, start with a few tablets and build up gradually; the label suggests 10 to 20 tablets a day for maintenance.
3. Using both
Many people take spirulina in a morning drink and chlorella tablets later in the day. Because each is a single ingredient, you know exactly what you are combining.

FAQ
What should I look for in a greens supplement?
Full ingredient disclosure, clean growing conditions, the right processing and no fillers. Raw Revelations Spirulina and Chlorella are each a single ingredient with no fillers.
What is the difference between spirulina and chlorella?
Spirulina is a blue-green algae eaten as a powder and contains the antioxidant pigment phycocyanin. Chlorella is a green algae with a tough cell wall, so it is sold broken-cell-wall; it is the highest known food source of chlorophyll.
Do greens powders actually work?
Greens add concentrated nutrients such as chlorophyll, protein and minerals to your diet. They complement a varied diet rather than replace vegetables.
Can you take greens powder on an empty stomach?
Many people do. If you are new to algae, start with a small serving, such as 1 teaspoon of spirulina or a few chlorella tablets, and build up.
Is spirulina safe to take every day?
Many people take spirulina daily. If you are pregnant, take medication or have an autoimmune condition, check with a clinician first.
Why is broken-cell-wall chlorella important?
Chlorella's cell wall is tough to digest, so broken-cell-wall chlorella is processed to make its nutrients available.
One last thing
The simplest test of a greens supplement is whether you can read exactly what is in it. Start there, then pick the format you will actually take every day.
