The catch

It relies on an artificial sweetener, fine for some, a pass if you keep labels clean. (source)

The honest take

It is a solid protein source for the category. The label lists 24g protein, 120 calories, 0mg sodium per 1 scoop (31 g).

Here is the tradeoff. It is sweetened with an artificial sweetener, so it is not a clean-label pick.
