Cacao Bean Protein Beverage, 12 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this chilled on the refrigerated shelf next to other ready-to-drink protein and plant-milk beverages — a grab-and-go chocolate almond protein drink aimed at breakfast or post-workout moments. The vibe is 'healthy-indulgent': marketed as plant-based and protein-forward but tasting creamy and dessert-like. The ingredients (isolated protein blends, prebiotic fibers, gums, emulsifiers and natural flavors) point to texture and flavor engineering typical of highly processed products.
