The catch

Each bottle has 30g of sugar from agave nectar and cane sugar, which roughly matches its 30g of protein. (source)

The honest take

Protein Plus is a refrigerated dairy shake that packs 30g of protein and 21 added vitamins and minerals into a 15.2 oz bottle, which makes it a genuinely convenient option after a workout or a skipped meal. The catch for a health minded shopper is the sugar. Each bottle carries 30g of sugar with agave nectar and cane sugar sitting near the top of the ingredient list, so you take in about as many grams of sugar as protein. It is a real low fat milk shake rather than a sugar free formula, and it leans ultra processed with soy protein isolate and gums like carrageenan, so it fits best as an occasional convenience rather than a daily staple.
