Hy-Vee 100% whey protein blend

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Hy-Vee 100% whey protein blend scores 15/100 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.

Hy-Vee 100% whey protein blend lists 15 ingredients, starting with Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein, Whey Protein Isolate, Sunflower Oil and Corn Syrup Solids. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Hy-Vee 100% whey protein blend 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.
