What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the chilled grab-and-go or refrigerated plant-based drinks section — an easy single-serve dark chocolate shake for busy mornings, between meetings, or after a workout. It reads as a health-forward yet slightly indulgent convenience product: chocolatey comfort framed as protein nutrition. The presence of protein isolates/blends, emulsifiers and stabilizers (sunflower lecithin, guar gum), added sweeteners and "natural flavors" signals industrial formulation for smooth texture and shelf-stability, typical of ultra-processed drinks.
