If you’re a wellness junkie and follow TikTok health trends, then these wellness drinks from Dirtea and Athletic Greens (AG1) most likely haven’t passed you by.

Athletic Greens’ AG1 is a superfood powder with 75 vitamins and minerals (the green powder has amassed nearly 250 million views on TikTok) with videos covering its benefits – which are said to be more energy, better skin and increased focus – and various ways to make it.

Meanwhile, mushroom powders like Dirtea are becoming the next best thing in wellness, with Megan Markle and Stella McCartney being fans of the powders that can be added to coffee, smoothies and hot chocolate. Their benefits include everything from having more energy to glowing skin and improved immunity.

If your interest has been piqued by the prospect of wellness powders, the questions still stand of whether these two brands are the best on the market, and whether one is a better choice, with better health benefits, than the other. And most importantly, are they worth their price tags?
