Common questions

Is Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g healthy?

Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g scores 0/100 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, Core Power Vanilla & Fruit Shakes. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 26g protein and 5g sugar. 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 Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g?

Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g lists 12 ingredients, starting with Filtered Low Fat Grade a Milk, Natural Flavors, Monk Fruit Juice Concentrate, Stevia Leaf Extract and Carrageenan. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

How many calories are in Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g?

170 kcal per serving, or 41 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

Does Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g’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 Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g?

Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.

How does Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g compare to other milk?

At 0/100 Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g scores worse than most milk we have scored. A higher-scoring option in milk is Organic Valley Grassmilk Organic Whole Milk Ultra Pasteurized at 97/100.

Is Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g organic?

Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g is not certified organic in our data.

Has Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g been lab tested?

Yes. 31 substances in Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g have a laboratory result on file — see the Contaminants section above for each reading and the limit it was measured against. Other products in its family (Core Power Vanilla & Fruit Shakes), which share its base recipe, were lab tested too. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Their results are in the family's Contaminants section above.

Does Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g contain phthalates?

Yes. A lab detected DEHP at 8 ppb against a 6 ppb limit, dibutyl phthalate at 8 ppb against a 120 ppb limit and DBP at 4.7 ppb in Core Power Protein Shake Vanilla 26g. It tested for 16 other phthalates and found none above its detection limit. Each reading is in the Contaminants section above. Other products in its family, which share its base recipe, were tested too: a lab detected DEHP at 6.2 ppb in Elite High Protein Milk Shake Vanilla, DBP at 6.6 ppb in Elite High Protein Milk Shake Vanilla and dibutyl phthalate at 9.6 ppb against a 120 ppb limit in Elite High Protein Milk Shake Vanilla. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests.
