Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Muscle Milk Pro Series – Knockout Chocolate falls short of the cleaner food options recommended by our website. This product is not organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients. It includes added sugars such as Acesulfame potassium and Sucralose, which are considered harmful. The presence of potentially harmful additives like natural and artificial flavors and diglycerides further detracts from its score. Known harmful additives such as artificial flavors and Maltodextrin are also part of its composition. Moreover, it contains Canola oil, which is viewed unfavorably due to its processing methods.
The product’s ingredient list starts with Milk Protein Isolate and Calcium Caseinate, both protein sources. Maltodextrin, a thickener and filler, is also prominent, raising concerns due to its potential impact on blood sugar levels and overall health. The inclusion of Alkalized Cocoa Powder and Whey Protein Concentrate is overshadowed by the presence of Non-dairy Creamer, which contains various compounds like Mono- and Diglycerides and Tocopherols. Soluble Corn Fiber, Potassium Chloride, and Medium Chain Triglycerides are also part of the mix, with the latter being a type of fat that is digested more easily than others.
The product contains additional elements such as Magnesium Oxide and Potassium Bicarbonate, which serve as mineral sources and pH stabilizers, respectively. However, the presence of artificial sweeteners and flavor enhancers like Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose, along with Lactoferrin, a milk protein with various health benefits, does not compensate for the overall negative assessment. Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Concentrate is another protein source included.
Given these considerations, the Muscle Milk Pro Series – Knockout Chocolate is rated poorly on our scale. Its composition, which includes several ingredients deemed harmful, positions it at the lowest end of our rating system, leading to the advice to avoid this product for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options.
