Common questions

Is Clean Simple Eats Cake Batter Protein Powder healthy?

Clean Simple Eats Cake Batter Protein Powder scores 11/100 on Tallow — our avoid band.

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.
