Welcome back to episode #2 of Drinks People Love. A series where we take a deepdive into the most popular functional drinks on the market
AG1 is one of the most well-known daily greens drinks on the market. It is not positioned as an energy drink, but many people use it as a steady foundation alongside their routines, especially when they want something simple and repeatable.
If your focus is long-term consistency, AG1 sits firmly in the functional nutrition category. It is designed to support overall wellbeing through consistent use, rather than offering a quick hit.
What AG1 Is
AG1 is a powdered greens supplement that mixes with water. It is often used as part of a daily ritual, usually in the morning, because it is easy to repeat and easy to pair with other habits like breakfast, movement, or a walk.
Why People Like It
Most people who enjoy AG1 mention the same themes:
-
It feels like a simple baseline habit
-
It is convenient when mornings are busy
-
It helps people feel more consistent with nutrition, especially on travel days
This is not a product built around intensity. It is built around routine.
How It Fits Around Exercise
If you are looking for an energy drink before exercise, AG1 is not really that. It is better thought of as daily support that sits behind training rather than driving the session itself.
A simple approach:
-
Take AG1 daily, ideally at the same time each day
-
Use a separate pre exercise drink if you want caffeine or a more noticeable lift
-
Keep the routine sustainable so it supports training over time
Aila Note
Aila is built on the same idea: clean ingredients, thoughtfully formulated functional nutrition, and a daily ritual that supports balanced energy and calm focus over time.
