Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 3/5 green leaf rating, the Rebbl drinks Protein Coconut Macaroon is a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food products. The drink is certified organic and uses non-GMO ingredients, which contributes to its favorable aspects. However, its score is impacted by the inclusion of added sugars and potentially harmful additives.
The product’s base is organic coconut milk, combined with organic pea protein, which serves as its primary source of protein. The inclusion of organic coconut sugar and stevia as sweeteners leads to a deduction in its score, as added sugars are a concern for many health-conscious consumers. The product also incorporates a blend of organic adaptogens and extracts, including ashwagandha, maca, and reishi mushroom, which are sought after for their purported health benefits.
Despite these positives, the presence of organic natural flavor and gellan gum—ingredients that are often scrutinized for their potential health effects—has resulted in a significant score reduction. The use of natural flavor is a common practice in food manufacturing for taste enhancement, but its vague definition and the potential for it to encompass a wide range of substances is a point of contention. Gellan gum, a thickening agent, while generally recognized as safe, is still treated with caution due to its processed nature.
The product also contains zinc gluconate, an added mineral that can be beneficial to consumers’ nutritional needs. The overall composition of the Rebbl drinks Protein Coconut Macaroon positions it as an option that balances the benefits of organic and non-GMO ingredients with the drawbacks of added sugars and certain additives.
This beverage offers a compromise for those navigating the complex landscape of healthy eating. It aligns with certain dietary values while falling short in other areas. The 3/5 green leaf rating reflects this equilibrium, suggesting that while the product has commendable features, there is room for improvement in its formulation to meet the standards of the most stringent health food advocates.
