Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Carrageenan

A thickening agent derived from red seaweed. While natural, it has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation, bloating, and may worsen symptoms of IBS.

Agave Nectar

Marketed as healthy, but it is actually 70-90% fructose (higher than HFCS). Excessive fructose taxes the liver and contributes to insulin resistance.

Soy Protein Isolate

A highly processed protein. The extraction process often uses hexane (a neurotoxin). It also contains high levels of phytoestrogens.

Full Ingredients List:

Low-fat milk, filtered water, agave nectar, cane sugar, whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, cocoa powder, natural flavors, dipotassium phosphate, acacia gum, gellan gum, ascorbic acid, carrageenan, vitamin a (palmitate), vitamin b1 (thiamin mononitrate), vitamin b2 (riboflavin), vitamin b3 (niacinamide), vitamin b5 (calcium pentothenate), vitamin b6 (pyridoxine hcl), vitamin b7 (biotin), vitamin b9 (folic acid), vitamin b12 (cyanocobalamin), vitamin d3 (cholecalciferol), vitamin e (d-alpha tocopheryl), calcium (tricalcium phosphate), phosphorus (tricalcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate), magnesium (magnesium phosphate), chromium (chromium chloride), iodine (potassium iodide), iron (ferric orthophosphate), zinc (zinc oxide), copper (copper gluconate).

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Chocolate protein plus truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 55/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Carrageenan. A thickening agent derived from red seaweed. While natural, it has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation, bloating, and may worsen symptoms of IBS. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 11g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 3 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Chocolate protein plus achieves a CakeID Score of 55/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.
