What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the chilled grab-and-go section or refrigerated beverage shelf next to other ready-to-drink protein shakes — a convenient single-serve chocolate-peanut butter option for busy mornings or a post-workout pick-me-up. It feels like a health-forward indulgence: familiar dessert flavors packaged as a functional protein drink with a smooth, uniform texture. The long ingredient list (proprietary protein blend, prebiotic fibers, emulsifiers, gums, sweeteners and "natural flavors") and stabilizers point to industrial formulation and processing typical of ultra-processed products.
