PEScience Select protein frosted chocolate cupcake

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

PEScience Select protein frosted chocolate cupcake 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 frosted chocolate cupcake lists 10 ingredients, starting with Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Leucine Peptides, Natural Flavors and Artificial Flavors. 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 frosted chocolate cupcake scores worse than most protein powders we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein powders is Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Unflavored Powder at 100/100.
