100% Whey Protein Thin Mints

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Thin Mints scores 19/100 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.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Thin Mints lists 11 ingredients, starting with Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein), Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali) and Natural and Artificial Flavor. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 19/100 Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Thin Mints scores worse than most protein powders we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein powders is VEGA Pea Protein Powder Chocolate at 100/100.
