Quest Nutrition Chocolate Protein Shake carton

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Quest Nutrition Chocolate Protein Shake carton scores 22/100 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.

Quest Nutrition Chocolate Protein Shake carton lists 15 ingredients, starting with Water, Milk Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Isolate, Cocoa Processed With Alkali and Sunflower Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 22/100 Quest Nutrition Chocolate Protein Shake carton 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.
