Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Smooth Chocolate Plant Based Protein Shake scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Organic Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Sugar Alcohols (Organic Erythritol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Organic Acacia Gum, Gellan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Organic Alkalized Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Organic Natural Flavor, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Protein Shakes & Meal Replacements, this product is more processed than about 17% of the 2,287 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
