Chocolate shake mix

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Nesquik Chocolate shake mix scores 36/100 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.

Nesquik Chocolate shake mix lists 15 ingredients, starting with Whey Protein Concentrate, Soluble Corn Fiber, Modified Food Starch, Sugar and Cocoa Processed With Alkali. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 36/100 Nesquik Chocolate shake mix scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is Clean Simple Eats Energy + Focus Energy Drink, Lava Tropic, 12 fl oz at 39/100.
