Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Slimfast Original Shake Mixes – Strawberries & Cream is a product that our evaluation finds falls short of the cleaner food options we advocate for. This shake mix is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which has significantly impacted its score. Additionally, the product includes an array of added sugars, such as sugar, acesulfame potassium, dextrose, and aspartame, which are detrimental to its overall health profile.
The presence of potentially harmful additives like natural and artificial flavors, silicon dioxide, xanthan gum, and Red 40 further detracts from its rating. Notably, it contains artificial flavor, carrageenan, aspartame, maltodextrin, and Red 40 – ingredients that are recognized as harmful and have been penalized accordingly in our scoring system. While the product does not list palm oil specifically, our criteria penalize harmful oils, and the inclusion of sunflower oil does not align with our standards for healthier alternatives.
Moreover, the shake mix is penalized for containing artificial flavors, which are indicative of less natural content. The product’s ingredient list also features a vitamin and mineral blend, which includes essential nutrients added to fortify the shake. However, the benefits of these added vitamins and minerals are overshadowed by the presence of the aforementioned negative ingredients.
The Slimfast Original Shake Mixes – Strawberries & Cream, with its current composition, is not recommended by our standards. It is overshadowed by the extensive use of additives, artificial flavors, and sugars that conflict with our criteria for cleaner, healthier food options. Consumers seeking healthier alternatives would be advised to consider other products that better align with the values of whole, organic, and non-GMO ingredients, free from harmful additives and excessive sugars.
