The most common questions we get about how to use MTE by far are about Athletic Greens® – whether or not they can be taken together, what are their similarities and differences, if they break fasts – and that’s just a few off the top of the head. We’re here for it – anyone who’s trying to improve how we look at energy, health and wellness is a friend of MTE. So let’s talk about our daily green drink vs theirs:
Athletic Greens® (AG1) is a drink mix powder of 75 concentrated vitamins, minerals and whole food-sourced nutrients that’s meant to be taken daily. Its formulation can serve to completely replace your multivitamin and probiotics while rounding out the things you’re missing in your diet. AG1® supports every system in your body, including your skin, eyes and nerves.
Athletic Greens®’ proprietary formula is broken down into 5 complexes of clean, natural, vegan and keto-friendly ingredients:
MTE (More Than Energy) is a daily healthy energy powder comprised of an advanced blend of 12 adaptogens, nootropics and superfoods. As a part of your daily routine, MTE can replace your morning coffee, serve as a pre or post-workout drink, used to get over that 2:30 pm hump, or any other time you need a competitive edge without the jitters or crash. We offer comprehensive support for the mind and body, because what good is energy if you don’t actually feel good?
MTE can help you ditch the caffeine hamster wheel with powerhouse ingredients like:
MTE has a lot in common with AG1®, which is probably why they’re so complementary:
There are a few ingredients you’ll find in both of these plant-powered health drinks:
So not a tonne of overlap, but some! That means you’re getting different ingredients from each that help you take your nutrition game to the next level.
Neither MTE nor AG1® is meant to be a one-off. This isn’t about a quick fix; it’s about giving your body the support it needs to be well and have energy in the first place instead of chasing that 3-hour caffeine high that leaves you even more tired than you were before.
Both of these wellness drinks are meant to be taken daily. They’re working to optimize the way your body functions, so it takes a hot minute to reap the full benefits. AG1® describes cumulative benefits as reaching their max at 90 days of use, and MTE’s cumulative benefits usually can be observed after about 30 days of use.
These aren’t your average energy drink powders; they’re a convenient way to get all that good stuff you need to live your best life in just one drink. Our philosophies are about healing from the inside out: fixing your gut, shoring up your immune system, improving stress resilience, and supporting all your body’s systems at the same time.
These things add up and become more than the sum of their parts. After a few weeks of adding MTE to your daily routine, you’ll start to notice you feel better, lighter, more capable, and less angsty. When you have the resources you need, life gets better, and that daily jonesing-for-a-caffeine-kick feeling just drifts away.
Both of our companies pride ourselves on sourcing high-quality, natural ingredients. You put good stuff in it, you get good stuff out of it. AG1®’s health food drink is gluten-free, paleo, keto, dairy-free, and vegan. MTE’s formulation is plant-based, paleo, non-GMO, refined sugar-free, and comes in sustainable packaging. It’s about whole foods and whole health; you can’t cut corners in your journey to wellness.
Check out online reviews for either of these products and you’ll find that taste is last on the list when it comes to why people love them. Actually, it’s nowhere on the list. But this is just a natural part of how AG1® and MTE have disrupted the health drink market: it’s not about the taste, it’s about the performance.
Do we really care if it doesn’t taste that great if the results completely revamp our quality of life? Hope not. Seems kind of silly, right? Interestingly, MTE is described as bitter while AG1® is described as overly-sweet… so maybe they even each other out if you mix them together! Which leads us to our next question:
Sure! Why not? In fact, the 12 ingredients in MTE work synergistically with AG1®, giving you an extra dose of those absolutely key adaptogens and nootropics you need to support mind and body nutrition. Do keep in mind, if you’re an intermittent faster, that both AG1® and MTE will break a fast since they’re chocked with so many nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants – you get it. So drink them within your eating window.
Otherwise, drink your MTE in the morning and your Athletic Greens® before your workout, vice versa, or add your daily scoop of MTE feel-good powder right in your AG1® green powder. They’re like two peas in a pod! … Except only one of them contains peas.
Because neither of our products are laced with excessive caffeine, sugars, artificial or other not-so-great ingredients, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Although, while these clean energy drinks are perfectly safe and meant for anyone over the age of 18, people who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before adding Athletic Greens® or MTE to their daily routine.
If you’re not on the plant-power, biohacking train, you’re missing out on way more than energy. Caffeine is great – in small doses. But it doesn’t exactly do a lot on its own. That’s why we’ve got just a bit of caffeine in our formula; it’s like a fuse for all the really good stuff in MTE that does the real work.
The great thing about AG1® and MTE is that, since they’re basically just a bunch of plants, they have a lot to offer, and without limitations. You’ve got immediate benefits, cumulative benefits, comprehensive system support, and the ability to incorporate them into your day however you want without interaction complications you get with energy-boosting drinks that rely on caffeine.
