PLANT-BASED PROTEIN SHAKE chocolate natural flavor with other natural flavors
HERBALIFE
Overview
The Herbalife Plant-Based Protein Shake delivers a solid 20g of protein per serving, primarily from organic pea and rice protein, which are effective for general protein supplementation. While it includes various beneficial organic ingredients like chia, flaxseed, and pumpkin seed, their specific quantities and thus their contribution to their research-backed benefits like blood pressure reduction, lipid profile improvement, or antioxidant effects are not disclosed and likely below effective doses for therapeutic impact. The product primarily functions as a protein source with added nutritional elements.
The Good
High protein content (20g per serving) supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.
Utilizes a blend of organic plant-based proteins (pea, rice, pumpkin seed) suitable for vegans and those with dairy/soy allergies.
Contains organic chia and flaxseed powders, providing omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber for digestive and cardiovascular health.
The Bad
Protein blend may not be optimal for muscle synthesis compared to a complete protein source like soy or animal protein alone due to lower lysine and methionine in rice protein.
Inclusion of Organic Coconut Flower Nectar despite having 0g added sugars, which is still a form of sugar and offers minimal nutritional benefits for a 'protein shake'.
Organic Alfalfa Sprouts and Organic Quinoa Sprouts are unlikely to provide significant benefits due to likely low concentration in the blend and limited clinical evidence for these forms.
