Ingredient Score:
Garden of Life’s Dr. Formulated Keto Fit Weight Loss Shake Chocolate Powder earns a 2/5 green leaves rating on our website, reflecting its position towards the lower end of our clean food spectrum. This product has made efforts to include non-GMO ingredients and incorporates a blend of organic elements, but falls short due to the inclusion of certain components that detract from its overall purity.
The protein shake incorporates organic grass-fed butter and nonfat milk, alongside Truly Grass Fed™ Whey Protein Isolate, which aligns with cleaner, more natural dietary choices. However, it’s not entirely organic, leading to a deduction in its clean food score. The presence of Stevia as an added sugar substitute further reduces its rating, as we prioritize products free from any added sweeteners, natural or otherwise.
Beyond the sugar content, the product includes ‘organic chocolate flavors’ and ‘organic fair trade cacao’, which, while being organic, the term ‘flavors’ raises concerns due to potential ambiguity around their source and composition. Moreover, the mention of ‘Rum’ is perplexing, as it is not listed in the provided ingredients, and could be a misinterpretation or error that needs clarification.
The weight loss blend component of the shake is an attempt to target those looking to manage their weight, featuring ingredients like decaffeinated green coffee bean extract, ashwagandha, and coffeeberry extract. To support digestive health, Lactobacillus plantarum is included, a probiotic strain beneficial for gut flora.
Despite these positive aspects, the shake’s deviation from a fully organic formula and the addition of sweeteners and ambiguous ‘flavors’ diminish its standing as a clean, healthful option. Consumers seeking the cleanest food products would find this protein shake lacking in several areas, as it does not meet the highest standards set forth by our rigorous evaluation process. Our rating reflects the need for improvement in its formulation to achieve a cleaner, more wholesome profile that consumers can trust.
