Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Ensure® Max Protein Creamy Peach Nutrition Shake falls short of the standards for clean food options on our website. This product is not organic and contains GMO ingredients, which detracts from its overall health profile.
The shake includes non-nutritive sweeteners like Acesulfame potassium and Sucralose, which are considered harmful added sugars. The presence of artificial flavors, alongside other potentially harmful additives such as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, further diminishes its score. More concerning is the inclusion of known harmful additives like Carrageenan and Red 3, which are flagged for their negative health implications.
While the product aims to provide a high-protein nutritional option, it is marred by the use of Sunflower oil, which is not an ideal choice for health-conscious consumers seeking cleaner food alternatives. Additionally, the product’s use of artificial flavors is at odds with the pursuit of natural and wholesome ingredients.
The Ensure® Max Protein Creamy Peach Nutrition Shake does not align with the values of those seeking cleaner, healthier food products. Its composition of various non-organic, GMO, and potentially harmful ingredients reflects a departure from the clean eating philosophy. The product’s heavy reliance on artificial additives and sweeteners, coupled with the inclusion of controversial ingredients like Carrageenan and Red 3, make it unsuitable for our recommended list of food options. Consumers are advised to opt for products with a higher green leaf rating that prioritize natural, organic, and non-GMO ingredients for a healthier dietary choice.
