BrickHouse Nutrition Field of Greens vs. Live it Up Super Greens Compared

Live it Up Super Greens is a relative newcomer in the greens powder space, and its approach is fairly straightforward: pack in a lot of leafy greens, keep the ingredient list clean, and appeal to the health-conscious crowd. But how does it stack up to Field of Greens by BrickHouse Nutrition, a brand built around real, organic produce and daily usability?

We sat down with Dr. Mike Kim, DO, MBA, Head doctor & formulator at BrickHouse Nutrition, to take a closer look at how the two compare.

Live it Up Super Greens: What’s Inside?

Live it Up goes hard on the “greens only” positioning. It’s an 8g scoop that consists almost entirely of vegetables, with very little to no fruit content.

“It’s just purely greens. It’s mostly leafy vegetables — wheatgrass, barley grass, spirulina, kale, parsley, oat grass… that sort of thing,” Dr. Mike explained.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with that approach, but it comes with trade-offs. You’re not getting the diversity of nutrients found in fruits, and you’re missing out on some of the natural sweetness and flavor balance that fruit-based ingredients provide.

Field of Greens: A Broader Spectrum

Field of Greens uses a 12g scoop — 50% larger than Live it Up — and contains a balanced blend of fruits and vegetables, all desiccated (not extracted), organic, and designed to mimic real food as closely as possible.

“We’ve got fruits, we’ve got vegetables, we’ve got antioxidants, prebiotics, fiber — all from whole sources,” Dr. Mike said.

Live it Up uses only vegetables, making it a narrower formula nutritionally. That doesn’t necessarily make it bad — it just means it’s less well-rounded.

The Taste Test

One of the biggest differences between the two products?

Taste.

“Live it Up probably tastes like grass,” Dr. Mike said bluntly. “Like a wheatgrass shot from Jamba Juice.”

Because it’s all vegetables and no fruit, Live it Up relies on stevia to sweeten things up. And while stevia helps, there’s only so much you can do when the bulk of your formula is raw greens.

Field of Greens, on the other hand, was built with taste as a core priority.

“It just flows and tastes pretty smooth. You don’t feel like you’re drinking a greens product — especially with our wild berry flavor,” Dr. Mike noted.

If drinking greens is part of your daily routine, taste becomes a big deal. And Field of Greens simply makes it easier to be consistent.

Probiotics & Additions

Live it Up includes a 5 billion CFU (Colony Forming Units) probiotic blend and a light digestive support mix — solid, but typical. Dr. Mike noted they use a similar natural multivitamin blend to BrickHouse’s, but the total dose is lower.

Field of Greens includes prebiotics and fiber, but avoids stuffing the product with “a little of everything.” The focus stays on delivering meaningful amounts of fruits and veggies first, with light support from antioxidants and gut-friendly ingredients.

Variety & Formulation

Live it Up comes in one or two flavor options, but they’re relatively limited. With a product built entirely around leafy greens, it's hard to expand into variety without the flavor becoming an issue.

Field of Greens offers 7 options:

• Original

• Wildberry

• Strawberry Lemonade

• Lemon Lime

• Raw (no sweeteners)

• Charged (with caffeine from coffee berry)

• Insights (with mushrooms & adaptogens)

This approach gives customers flexibility depending on their goals, without compromising the core formula of fruits and vegetables.

Final Take

Live it Up Super Greens is clean, minimal, and vegetable-heavy. If you want a product that gives you a pure hit of leafy greens, and you don’t mind a grassy taste, it’s a solid option.

But if you want:

• A full serving of both fruits and vegetables
  

• Better taste
  

• More variety
  

• Clearer dosing
  

• And organic, food-grade sourcing
  
  

Then Field of Greens is the more well-rounded daily greens powder — with a focus on simplicity, flavor, and function that’s hard to match.
