• Other Additives (Go Energy Protein Blend (Egg White Protein, Organic High Fiber Coconut Flour, Organic Sunflower Lecithin, Almond Flour)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
