Common questions

Is Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla healthy?

Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla scores 33/100 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, plus lab results from its product family, Clean Simple Eats Whey Isolate (non-cocoa). 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 Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla?

Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla lists 7 ingredients, starting with Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate, Xylitol, Nonfat Dry Milk, Prebiotic Isomalto-oligosaccharide (Imo) and Coconut Creamer. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
