Sparkling Protein

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Genius Gourmet Sparkling Protein scores 30/100 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.

Genius Gourmet Sparkling Protein lists 10 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Whey Protein Isolate, Bovine Collagen Peptides, l-Malic Acid and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 30/100 Genius Gourmet Sparkling Protein scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is VitaLife Sparkling Energy at 100/100.
