PEScience Select Protein Chocolate

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

PEScience Select Protein Chocolate 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.

PEScience Select Protein Chocolate lists 14 ingredients, starting with Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate 80%, Leucine Peptides, Cocoa Powder and Cocoa Butter. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 PEScience Select Protein Chocolate 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.
