Summary

This product contains a mix of beneficial and processed ingredients. While it includes high-quality proteins like whey and nonfat dry milk, it also relies on pea protein isolate, which is a processed plant-based protein with reduced nutrient bioavailability. The product's processing level limits its score, and the presence of cheddar cheese seasoning suggests additional processing and additives.
