Kool-Aid Lemonade

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Kool-Aid Lemonade 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.

Kool-Aid Lemonade lists 9 ingredients, starting with Citric Acid, Calcium Phosphate, Maltodextrin, Salt and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin c). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Kool-Aid Lemonade scores worse than most juices we have scored. A higher-scoring option in juices is R.W. Knudsen Organic Beet Apple Ginger Juice Beverage at 100/100.
