Analysis

An 18 g protein serving supports snacks, meals, and lighter training needs. Fat remains low, while the modest carbohydrate amount should fit many diets.

Vitamin C and iron broaden the nutrition profile. The supplied label does not identify the protein source or amino acid balance, which limits assessment of protein quality.

The larger container offers acceptable value and convenience. Sodium is modest rather than replenishment-focused, and its source is not provided.

Who is it for
  • Plant-based users who prefer vanilla
  • Adults with moderate protein needs
  • People wanting a lean flavored shake
Best for
  • Protein-rich snacks
  • Meal supplementation
  • Light training support

Pros

  • Useful 18 g protein serving
  • Low fat content
  • Provides vitamin C and iron

Cons

  • Protein source is not identified
  • Lighter protein amount than many sports powders
  • Amino acid profile is missing

Warnings

  • Unknown protein sources make allergen checks incomplete
  • Added iron can accumulate with other fortified products
  • Plant protein may cause digestive discomfort

Nutrient quality

78 High impact

A useful protein amount and lean profile support routine supplementation without obvious excess or padding. Missing source details and moderate protein yield limit formula strength.

.

Ingredient transparency

70 High impact

Nutrition amounts are explicit and no hidden blend is shown. Generic protein naming, missing directions, and absent flavor and excipient details limit full transparency.

.

Customer satisfaction

70 High impact

The aggregate rating is favorable, but it provides no specific experience evidence. The large review count gives the aggregate signal a stable volume base, while no detailed feedback is supplied to assess taste, mixability, tolerance, or recurring complaints.

.

Value for money

65 High impact

A lean profile and larger supply provide acceptable value without low-value active extras. Moderate protein yield and missing source details keep competitiveness limited.

Report overview
Sodium · 140 mg OverallScore58
D Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB+ Value

The sodium amount is too low for demanding athletic replenishment, and its source form is not disclosed. No supporting potassium or magnesium form strengthens the electrolyte profile. The carbohydrate load is moderate, and the serving value is reasonable for the category.

Iron · 4 mg OverallScore46
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value
The iron compound is not disclosed, preventing a meaningful judgment of absorption or tolerance. No complete set of absorption and blood-cell cofactors is present at the required levels. The elemental dose is clearly disclosed but is too low for a targeted iron need. The serving is expensive relative to its iron contribution. The broader protein powder may still provide benefits beyond iron alone.
