Red Pepper Dust on a PB&J

Reading the label, this is brutally simple: just Red Pepper. That means zero sugar, which is a relief if you're trying to keep insulin spikes in check for clearer skin. The score is 9.9, suggesting high purity. I can picture shaking this into a weekend omelet for a clean kick without sweet fillers muddying the ingredients. The trade-off is obvious—it's a single-note product. If you're expecting a complex, smoky blend, this isn't it; it's pure heat. For someone like me, watching for inflammatory triggers, that simplicity is appealing, but it won't replace a multi-spice rub in your cabinet.

The label shows Whey Protein Isolate with sunflower and soy lecithin. A 9.9 score and zero sugar make this look like a clean option for muscle recovery without the glycemic hit that can stress skin. I could see mixing this into a shaker after a heavy lift, keeping it simple with water to avoid any dairy-related breakouts. The trade-off is texture and flavor; without added sweeteners, it's going to taste chalky and flat to most people. If you're used to flavored powders, this raw profile might be a struggle to choke down daily, even if the ingredient list is pristine.

Premier lists 2g of sugar per 100g, which is low but not zero. The ingredients list is vague as 'updating,' so we don't know the exact sweetener or flavoring system yet. A 9.8 score suggests it generally mixes well, likely designed for convenience. I imagine keeping this in an office desk drawer for a mid-afternoon shake when hunger hits. The trade-off is the sugar and the mystery ingredients; for someone strictly managing acne, those 2 grams and the unknown additives could be a trigger. It's a practical choice, but the label transparency isn't quite there yet for the skeptical consumer.

Dehydrated Garlic is the only ingredient here, with a 9.9 score and zero sugar. From a skin-health perspective, garlic has potential anti-inflammatory properties, and having it without anti-caking agents or added salt is a win. I'd use this sprinkled over roasted vegetables for a late-night snack that feels savory without spiking blood sugar. The main trade-off is potency; dehydrated powder can be harsher than fresh, and if you don't measure carefully, it can easily overpower a dish. It's a clean label, but the flavor intensity requires a lighter hand than you might expect.

This blend contains chili, cumin, oregano, garlic, and salt. The 9.9 score indicates a well-balanced mix, but the salt content is the variable we can't see. Zero sugar is great for keeping inflammation down. I can see tossing this with olive oil for a quick chicken marinade on a busy weeknight. The trade-off is the salt; if you're prone to water retention or sensitivity to sodium, this pre-mixed blend limits your control. It's convenient, but the salt is the hidden cost of that flavor complexity.
