The catch

To hit 30g protein at 160 calories and 1g sugar it leans on two artificial sweeteners plus carrageenan and seed oils, and packs 250mg sodium per shake. (source)

The honest take

This is a grab and go dairy shake built for one job, and it does that job well: 30g of protein for 160 calories with just 1g of sugar and 0g added sugar. The catch is what makes those numbers possible. The label reads like a lab, with sunflower or soybean oil, carrageenan, and two artificial sweeteners in sucralose and acesulfame potassium doing the flavor work. If you want a convenient, filling, low sugar protein hit and you are not fussy about a long ingredient list, it delivers. If you are looking for a clean, minimally processed whole food shake, this is not it.
