Iced Caramel Protein Matcha
How we scored it
The product contains beneficial ingredients like whey protein isolate and ground green tea, but is penalized for the presence of caramel syrup and added sugar. The use of sunflower lecithin is a minor concern, but overall, the formulation is moderately processed with some redeeming qualities.
