Banana Creme Protein Shake, 12 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated grab-and-go cooler or near refrigerated smoothies — a banana‑creme plant-based protein shake aimed at busy mornings, post-workout refuels, or a sweet snack. Its smooth, custardy vibe feels both wholesome and slightly indulgent, and the use of emulsifiers, gums, a proprietary protein blend and natural flavors points to industrial processing that creates a uniform texture and flavor consistent with ultra-processed (NOVA) products.
