Bloom Greens and the Bloating Blame Game

Reading the label, this psyllium husk powder is a clean slate: zero sugar per 100g and a near-perfect score. The ingredients list is still updating, so I can't speak to additives, but the core fiber profile looks solid. Texture-wise, pure husk can be gritty and thick; mixing it into a glass of water creates a viscous gel that some people find soothing. It's not a flavor-forward product, so think earthy and neutral. A practical use: stirring a spoonful into your morning coffee or smoothie to keep things moving during a desk-heavy workday. The trade-off is texture—getting it down fast is key before it gels. If you're chasing ketosis, this is a zero-carb fiber helper.

This USN whey lists 16g of sugar per 100g, which pushes it toward a sweeter, faster-refueling profile. The score is solid, but the ingredients list is still updating, so I can't confirm emulsifiers or flavorings. Expect a creamy shake with a pronounced sweetness—pleasant after a hard lift, but potentially too sugary for strict keto. A real-life fit: tossing it in your gym bag for a quick post-session shake to pair with carbs. The trade-off is sugar: if you're watching glucose, you may prefer a lower-sugar option. On flavor, it reads as dessert-like rather than purely clean protein. Texture should blend smoothly in a shaker, but the sweetener load can leave a slight syrupy note.

With zero sugar per 100g and a top-tier score, this vitamin-mineral-amino powder looks like a clean daily driver. The ingredients list is still updating, so I can't speak to flavor systems or fillers, but the macro picture is very low-carb friendly. Expect a neutral-to-slightly-mineral taste; texture may lean light if it's a fine blend, or slightly chalky if it leans heavier on minerals. A smart use: stir into sparkling water at your desk for an afternoon pick-me-up without spiking insulin. The trade-off is flavor complexity—without a full ingredients list, some people may notice bitterness from certain vitamins or minerals. If you're tracking ketosis, the zero sugar is a win, but taste may vary by batch.

This creatine monohydrate powder shows zero sugar and a top-tier score. The ingredients are clean and readable: Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Monk Fruit Extract. That suggests a tart, slightly lemony profile—think lemon-drop candy without the sugar. Texture should dissolve fairly well with a vigorous shake, though creatine can leave a faint grit if under-mixed. A perfect real-life use: pre-lift scoop mixed into cold water for a routine that doesn't break ketosis. The trade-off is acidity—citric and malic acids can sting if you're sensitive to sour notes. It's not a flavor bomb, but the monk fruit keeps it palatable without carbs. If you prefer unflavored, this may read as too zesty.

Organic cacao powder, zero sugar, and a stellar score—this is a straightforward, label-clean pick. The ingredient list is just organic cacao powder, so you're getting pure cocoa with no sweeteners or fillers. Expect a deep, bitter chocolate note with earthy undertones; texture is fine and dusty, which can absorb moisture in batters. A classic use: whisk into keto brownies or blend with hot water and a pinch of salt for a late-night cocoa that keeps carbs in check. The trade-off is bitterness—without added sugar, it can taste intense if you're used to sweetened hot chocolate. It's fantastic for fat-forward recipes, but some people may need a sweetener to round out the edges.
