Analysis

The 18 g protein serving comes with 100 calories, 1.5 g of fat, and 4 g of carbohydrate. That compact profile works well for users who want a plant-based protein boost without turning the shake into a large meal.

The missing plant source and amino-acid details make protein quality difficult to assess. Potassium is only 120 mg while sodium is 190 mg, so the electrolyte balance does not strengthen its heart-health case.

The larger package provides a more practical supply for routine use than the smaller version. Its strengths are simplicity and a lean macro profile, not targeted cardiovascular support or unusually detailed ingredient transparency.

Who is it for
  • People seeking a plant-based protein powder
  • Users who prefer a low-calorie, low-fat shake
Best for
  • Everyday plant-protein intake
  • Adding protein without many calories

Pros

  • Provides 18 g of plant protein
  • Contains only 100 calories and 1.5 g of fat
  • Larger package offers practical serving value

Cons

  • Plant protein source is not identified
  • Amino-acid profile is not supplied
  • Potassium is low and below the sodium amount
  • Does not target major cardiovascular pathways

Nutrient quality

74 High impact

A lean macronutrient profile and moderate protein amount fit basic plant-protein use. Missing plant sources, amino-acid detail, and mineral forms limit quality confidence, while potassium is low.

Ingredient transparency

53 Moderate impact

The nutrition panel clearly states protein, macronutrient, sodium, and potassium amounts. The underlying protein ingredients, serving directions, and non-active ingredients are missing from the supplied details.

Customer satisfaction

46 Lower impact

The supplied average rating is mixed and is supported by small review count. No detailed feedback is available to assess repeated complaints or purpose-specific experiences.

Value for money

70 High impact

The lean plant-protein profile provides some value, but the protein amount and source disclosure are limited. Package economics are only middling for the disclosed dose.

Report overview
Sodium · 190 mg OverallScore57
D Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB+ Value

Its 190 mg sodium amount is too low for dependable replacement during intense exercise. The sodium source and supporting mineral forms are not fully identified, and no buffering mineral is shown. The protein-focused serving supplies some sodium but remains too light for demanding sweat replacement.

Potassium · 120 mg OverallScore25
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Potassium appears at a low amount, and the chemical source is not disclosed. The mineral is incidental to the plant protein, making the high serving cost poor value for potassium. A single value likely reflects elemental content, but no compound or yield detail is given.
