Greens powder and a sensitive stomach

Looking at the label, this Strawberry Whey blend packs 6g of sugar per 100g, which is noticeable but not wild. The mix of concentrate and isolate suggests decent absorption, though the inclusion of maltodextrin bumps the carb count. It scores a 9.4, which is solid. I imagine this shaking up pretty smooth, maybe a bit sweet for some palates, but the beet powder adds a natural color which is a nice touch. It's the kind of thing you keep in your gym bag for a quick protein hit after a heavy lift when you're craving something that doesn't taste like chalk.

This Seasoning Garlic Powder keeps it incredibly simple with just Garlic Powder and Ajo en Polvo. It scores a perfect 9.9, and with 0g of sugar, it's basically a zero-guilt flavor bomb. It's likely a very fine grind, perfect for dusting over popcorn or mixing into a late-night pasta sauce when you're too tired to chop fresh cloves. The only real trade-off here is the lack of info on sourcing or processing—it's pure garlic, but you don't get details on the grind or potency. Still, for the price point usually associated with these, it's a no-brainer for the pantry.

Straight up, this Garlic Powder lists only 'GARLIC' and hits a 9.9 score. No sugar, no additives, just the good stuff. It's probably a bit more pungent than the seasoned version, maybe with a slightly coarser texture depending on the grind. I'd throw this into a marinade for chicken thighs or a cheap stir-fry to make it taste expensive. The trade-off is that without any anti-caking agents mentioned, it might clump up if your kitchen gets humid, so you'll need to keep it sealed tight. It's the ultimate minimalist seasoning for anyone watching their labels closely.

The label for this French Vanilla Protein Powder is updating, but with a 9.9 score and 0g sugar, it's clearly aiming for the top tier. It's likely a lean formula, maybe a blend or isolate, designed for mixability. I can see this being the late-night staple—stirred into oatmeal or shaken with water when you're too broke for takeout but need the macros. The 'updating ingredients' status is a slight red flag for transparency, but the zero sugar is a huge win. The trade-off might be flavor depth; zero-sugar vanilla can sometimes taste a bit artificial or thin compared to sweetened versions.

Creatine Monohydrate is the gold standard, and this one scores 9.9 with 0g sugar. The 'Ingredients updating' label is annoying, but assuming it's just pure creatine monohydrate, it's doing exactly what it needs to do. It's not going to taste like much—maybe a slight chalkiness if you don't mix it well—but it's purely functional. I'd toss this in a shaker with my pre-workout. The trade-off is the lack of flavor options or fancy blends; it's raw powder. If you're looking for a tasty treat, look elsewhere. This is for results, not enjoyment.
