Core Power Vanilla
What You Should Know
Core Power Vanilla is a ready-to-drink, 14 fl oz protein shake you’ll most often find in the refrigerated dairy or refrigerated sports nutrition aisle, shelved near other bottled protein drinks, flavored milks, and recovery beverages. It reads like a gym-bag staple: a branded plastic bottle with active-oriented copy promising 26 g of protein, electrolytes and the smooth taste of vanilla. Shoppers reach for it on mornings when they need a quick post-workout refuel, during busy workdays as a portable snack, or tucked into a cooler on road trips and training weekends. Brand positioning leans athletic and performance-driven — marketed to people who exercise regularly, lift weights, or want a convenient “recovery” option — and it carries the fairlife association of “ultra-filtered milk” that implies premium protein content. Label characteristics include health-forward claims (high protein, electrolytes, lactose-reduced via lactase), subtle “natural” language like natural flavors, and sweetener calls to action that appeal to calorie-conscious buyers; it is not marketed as organic and has no kid-focused cartoons or child-targeted branding. In plain terms, the product is processed: the milk is ultra-filtered and the formula contains stabilizers, thickeners and low-calorie sweeteners to create shelf-stable taste and texture. Sensory notes: creamy, slightly thick mouthfeel, pronounced vanilla sweetness with a smooth, milk-forward body; the thin-neck plastic bottle is grab-and-go friendly and often consumed cold right from the fridge or shaken and sipped after a workout as part of a quick recovery ritual.
