Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Vital Proteins Jennifer Aniston™ Protein And Collagen Bar Cold Brew Coffee falls short of the clean food standards set by our website. This product is not organic, which immediately subtracts from its potential score. Moreover, the absence of non-GMO ingredients further reduces its standing in our assessment.
The bar contains maltitol, a sugar alcohol, which is counted as an added sugar and detracts from the product’s healthfulness. Additionally, the presence of ‘natural flavors’ and glycerin raises concerns due to their classification as potentially harmful additives. These ingredients contribute to the product’s low score, reflecting a need for improvement towards a cleaner composition.
Breaking down the ingredient list, the protein blend includes bovine collagen peptides and various forms of whey protein, which contribute to the product’s protein content. The dark chocolate coating, involving maltitol and vegetable fat, along with cocoa powder, may appeal to those looking for a sweet taste, but it’s important to note the use of a sugar substitute.
Other components such as almond butter and whey protein crisps add texture and nutritional value. However, the use of sunflower oil, while a common ingredient in many bars, is not ideal due to its potential for high omega-6 fatty acid content, which could be problematic in excess.
The inclusion of superfood ingredients like cordyceps mushroom powder, decaf coffee powder, and maca root powder is notable. These elements are often associated with various health benefits, from energy support to adaptogenic properties. The bar also incorporates monk fruit extract, a natural sweetener that does not impact blood sugar levels as significantly as traditional sugars.
Despite these redeeming qualities, the overall composition of the Vital Proteins Jennifer Aniston™ Protein And Collagen Bar does not align with the high standards of cleaner, healthier food options. The product requires significant reformulation to eliminate additives, include organic ingredients, and avoid GMOs to achieve a more favorable rating.
