Common questions

Is Basic Whey healthy?

Basic Whey scores 38/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Basic Whey?

Basic Whey lists 3 ingredients, starting with Whey Protein Concentrate, Maltodextrin and Artificial Sweetener (Sucralose). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Basic Whey contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Basic Whey’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Basic Whey?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Basic Whey yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Basic Whey compare to other protein powders?

At 38/100 Basic Whey scores worse than most protein powders we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein powders is Truvani Plant Based Protein, Unflavored & Unsweetened, 19.75 oz at 100/100.
