Core Power Elite High Protein Milk Shake, Strawberry
What You Should Know
Core Power Elite High Protein Milk Shake in Strawberry is a chilled, ready-to-drink protein shake you’d find in the refrigerated dairy aisle near other ready-to-drink protein shakes, flavored milks, and sports recovery beverages. Packaged in a 14 fl oz plastic bottle with a screw cap, it presents as a grab-and-go recovery drink for busy mornings or post-workout trips home. Shoppers reach for it during gym runs, after early-morning training sessions, as a quick on-the-road breakfast, or when they want a substantial protein boost between meals. The brand positions itself squarely in the fitness and recovery space — modern, performance-oriented, and aspirational — appealing to gym-goers, weekend warriors, and time-pressed adults who value measurable gains and convenient nutrition. Marketing leans on high-protein claims, “ultra-filtered” milk language, and recovery-focused messaging rather than child-friendly characters or indulgent dessert cues. Labels emphasize protein content, low sugar per serving, and added electrolytes; you will also see claims like natural flavors, but there is no organic certification. In plain terms the product is processed: the base is ultra-filtered lowfat milk that’s been modified and combined with stabilizers, sweeteners, and flavor/color ingredients to create a consistent shelf-stable chilled product. Sensory notes: a thick, creamy milkshake mouthfeel with a sweet, artificial-strawberry aroma and smooth texture from added gums and stabilizers. The ritual is straightforward — chilled from the cooler, twist the cap, sip between errands or after a lift — a pragmatic recovery moment in American grocery culture.
