What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the grab-and-go refrigerated aisle or alongside plant-based milks and ready-to-drink protein shakes — a convenient pick for a quick breakfast, post-workout sip, or travel snack. The smooth, creamy texture comes from added oils, lecithin and gums, while isolated proteins, "natural flavors" and stabilizers point to industrial formulation and processing consistent with ultra-processed products.
