Deluxe Green Tea Latte Powder — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Deluxe Green Tea Latte Powder by Deluxe DUMP — score 20/90.
An instant 'green tea' latte where the tea is an afterthought: maltodextrin is the #1 ingredient, sugar is #2, and actual green tea powder is only 10%. It's a sweetened refined-carb powder wearing green tea's health halo.
Why this verdict
- Maltodextrin is the #1 ingredient — a refined starch that spikes blood sugar as hard as pure glucose
- Added sugar is the #2 ingredient, on top of the maltodextrin
- Actual green tea powder is only 10% — the tea is a minority player, not the base
- Refined vegetable oils add creamy fat to an already sugar-heavy powder
- Reads like a sweetened latte mix, not the healthy green tea it's positioned as
Ingredients (5)
- Maltodextrin (concerning) — Highly refined carbohydrate with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; listed twice here.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- Green Tea Powder (10%) (safe) — The one genuinely beneficial ingredient — carries antioxidants (catechins) and a little caffeine. But at only 10% it's a minor part of the formula, not the base.
- Vegetable Oils (Coconut, Rapeseed) (moderate) — Refined oils added to create a creamy latte texture. They pile extra fat calories onto a powder that's already mostly sugar and refined starch.
- natural flavouring (moderate) — Undefined flavour additive tuning palatability.
