Alpro Nature aux Amandes - Soja & Amande — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Alpro Nature aux Amandes - Soja & Amande by alpro OKAY — score 60/90.
A soy-based yogurt alternative with real plant protein and added vitamins, but it's sweetened and lightly processed with stabilizers and flavourings.
Why this verdict
- Real soy base delivers actual plant protein (~3.9g/100g)
- Fortified with calcium and vitamins B12, D2, E
- Sugar is the #2 ingredient, ahead of the almond it's named for
- Added flavourings, stabilizer and acidity regulators make it NOVA 4
- Almond content is only 1.5% despite 'aux Amandes' branding
Ingredients (11)
- Soy base (water, dehulled non-GMO soybeans 9.8%) (safe) — Whole-food soy protein source; the legitimate backbone of the product.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- Almond (1.5%) (safe) — Real almond, but present in token amounts despite the name.
- Calcium (tricalcium citrate) (safe) — Added calcium to match dairy; well-tolerated form.
- Pectin (stabilizer) (safe) — Plant-derived fibre gelling agent; harmless but a sign of processing.
- Acidity regulators (citric acid, sodium citrates) (safe) — Standard pH/preservation agents; benign.
- Sea Salt (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance.
- Antioxidants (tocopherol extract, ascorbyl esters) (safe) — Vitamin E and C-based freshness protectors; benign.
- Flavourings (moderate) — Non-specific flavour additives; vague labelling despite a 'no artificial flavours' claim.
- Vitamins B12, D2, E (safe) — Fortification that plant eaters actually benefit from, especially B12.
- Yogurt cultures (S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus) (safe) — Live cultures that ferment the base; a genuine positive.
