What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated or plant-based beverage aisle as a grab-and-go chocolate protein shake for breakfasts, gym trips, or busy days. It projects a health-forward, convenient vibe with an indulgent chocolate note rather than a homemade feel. The long ingredient list—protein isolates, seed oils, lecithins, gelling gums and 'natural flavors'—signals industrial processing (NOVA 4) and explains its stable, creamy texture and shelf-ready consistency.

Ultra-Processed
