Vanilla Bean Protein Beverage, 12 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated plant-based milk and ready-to-drink protein section or in a grab-and-go cooler at a gym, café, or workplace fridge—an easy pick for a rushed morning or snack. It projects a health-forward yet slightly indulgent vibe: creamy vanilla sweetness with a protein boost. The ingredient list (proprietary protein blend, prebiotic fibers, gums, emulsifiers and natural flavors) signals industrial formulation for smooth texture, stability and shelf-life, classic cues of ultra-processed products.
