You've decided to add a daily greens to your routine — now there's one more choice: caffeinated or not? At dailyRU, both give you the exact same greens. The only real difference is whether you want a little lift with them. Here's how to pick. (New to greens? Start with the benefits of daily greens.)
What's the same in both
This is the important part: whichever you choose, you get the same Daily Greens foundation — the organic greens blend (spirulina, chlorella, barley, oat, and wheat grasses, kale, and more), the antioxidant blend (broccoli sprout, spinach, carrot, Brussels sprout), a digestive enzyme blend, and soluble fiber — all at just 10 calories and sweetened with stevia. You're not trading away any nutrition either way.
The one real difference: caffeine
Our Caffeinated Daily Greens adds 120 mg of caffeine — about the same as a cup of coffee — paired with 240 mg of L-theanine, an amino acid known for making that energy feel smooth and focused instead of jittery.* Non-Caffeinated Daily Greens gives you the same greens with none of it.
Choose Caffeinated if you…
- Drink your greens in the morning and want a clean lift
- Want to replace or cut back on coffee
- Like a little energy and focus with your routine*
- Aren't sensitive to caffeine
Choose Non-Caffeinated if you…
- Are sensitive to caffeine or trying to cut back
- Drink your greens in the afternoon or evening
- Already get your caffeine from coffee and don't want more
- Are pregnant or nursing (always check with your physician first)
Can you have both?
Absolutely — plenty of people keep both on hand: caffeinated to start the day, non-caffeinated for an afternoon refill without the second-cup jitters. Same greens, your call on the caffeine, moment to moment.
The bottom line
There's no wrong answer here — the greens are identical, so it comes down to one question: do you want caffeine with them or not? Morning person chasing a clean lift? Go caffeinated. Caffeine-sensitive or drinking them later? Go non-caf. Either way, you're building the same healthy habit.
Frequently asked questions
How much caffeine is in Caffeinated Daily Greens?
120mg per stick — roughly a cup of coffee — plus 240mg of L-theanine for smoother, more focused energy.
Do caffeinated and non-caffeinated have the same greens?
Yes — identical greens, antioxidant, and enzyme blends. The only difference is the caffeine.
Can I drink greens at night?
Go with the non-caffeinated version if you're drinking greens later in the day, so the caffeine doesn't affect your sleep.
Will the caffeine make me jittery?
The 120mg is paired with L-theanine, which is known for smoothing out caffeine for a calmer, more focused feel — but if you're caffeine-sensitive, the non-caffeinated version is the safer pick.
Which should I choose if I already drink coffee?
If you're already getting caffeine from coffee, non-caffeinated greens let you enjoy the routine without doubling up.
