Chocolate Banana Plant Protein Drink, 12 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this 12 fl oz KOIA Chocolate Banana plant-protein drink in the refrigerated grab-and-go or plant-milk section—a convenient on-the-go option for mornings, gym trips, or a quick snack. It has a nostalgic chocolate-banana shake vibe while being marketed as protein-forward and healthful; the long ingredient list (proprietary protein isolates, emulsifiers, prebiotic fibers, gums, natural flavors and added sweeteners) and smooth, stable texture point to industrial ultra-processing.
