What You Should Know

You'd spot this 12 fl oz Cookies n' Cream plant-based protein drink in the grab-and-go cooler or plant-based beverage aisle when you want a quick, ready-to-drink snack or post-workout boost. The flavor and packaging aim for a nostalgic, indulgent cookie-and-milk vibe while signaling health-forward ingredients like pea and pumpkin seed protein and a greens blend. The ingredient list — protein isolates, emulsifiers (lecithin), gums, natural flavors and added sweetener — points to a highly processed, uniform-textured product typical of ultra-processed formulations.
