What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated dairy-alternative aisle or fridge section, often chosen as a protein-forward swap for smoothies, cereal, or coffee. It gives off a healthy, practical vibe—plant-based and low-sugar—while the ingredient list (pea protein isolate, emulsifiers, gums, added vitamins) reveals industrial formulation. Those processing choices explain the creamy, stable texture, added protein boost, and extended shelf/handling properties typical of ultraprocessed drinks.
