Ingredient Score:

Awarded a rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Muscle Milk Gainer – Cookies ‘n Creme is a product that our evaluation process identifies as a less desirable choice for those seeking cleaner food options. The absence of organic certification and the use of genetically modified ingredients contribute to its low score. The product includes added sugars, with the presence of sugar itself, and artificial sweeteners like Acesulfame potassium and Sucralose further detracting from its nutritional profile.

The ingredient list reveals a number of additives, such as natural and artificial flavors, mono- and diglycerides, and soy lecithin, which are considered potentially harmful. Additionally, it contains maltodextrin and artificial flavors, which are identified as known harmful additives. The use of oils that raise health concerns, specifically canola oil and palm oil, also impacts the product’s rating negatively.

The product’s composition reflects a reliance on ingredients that are not aligned with the principles of clean eating. The inclusion of additives and sweeteners, along with non-organic and GMO components, positions the Muscle Milk Gainer – Cookies ‘n Creme at the lowest end of our green leaf rating scale. The emphasis on such ingredients suggests that the product may not be suitable for consumers prioritizing health and ingredient transparency.

With this assessment, the recommendation is to consider alternative products that better align with the values of clean and healthy eating. The Muscle Milk Gainer – Cookies ‘n Creme, as evaluated, falls short of these standards and is best avoided by those seeking cleaner food options.
