What You Should Know

You'd spot this single-serve vanilla protein drink in the refrigerated grab-and-go section or the plant-based milk aisle, grabbed for a quick breakfast or gym-side refuel. It gives a modern, health-forward vibe — creamy and lightly sweet — while the long ingredient list and proprietary protein/fiber blends signal industrial processing for texture, stability, and shelf-life.
