Nurri Chocolate 30g Protein Ultra-Filtered Milk Shake — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Nurri Chocolate 30g Protein Ultra-Filtered Milk Shake by Nurri ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
Real 30g dairy protein, but the 1g-sugar promise is bought with three stacked non-nutritive sweeteners (sucralose + acesulfame-K + monk fruit).
Why this verdict
- Three distinct sweeteners stacked: sucralose + acesulfame potassium + monk fruit extract
- Two artificial sweeteners (sucralose, acesulfame-K) do the heavy lifting behind '1g sugar'
- Vague 'natural flavor' and added potassium phosphate mark it as a lab-built formula
- NOVA group 4 ultra-processed despite the clean-sounding milk base
Ingredients (14)
- Ultra Filtered Skim Milk (safe) — Concentrated real dairy protein and calcium; the legitimate backbone of the drink.
- Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
- cream (safe) — Real dairy adds richness.
- cocoa processed with alkali (safe) — Dutched cocoa for chocolate flavor and color.
- POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE (safe) — pH buffer and mineral fortificant used in small amounts.
- Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
- Natural flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor blend; minor but not fully transparent.
- Lactase enzyme (safe) — Breaks lactose into digestible sugars, making it tolerable for the lactose-intolerant.
- Pectin (safe) — Fruit-derived gelling agent.
- Sucralose (moderate) — Artificial sweetener; unexpected in a bakery pie and a second sweetness source.
- Acesulfame Potassium (caution) — Second artificial sweetener stacked with sucralose.
- Monk fruit extract (safe) — Natural non-nutritive sweetener stacked with allulose.
- Vitamin A palmitate (safe) — Standard fortification to replace vitamin A lost when fat is removed. A nutrient, not an additive of concern.
- vitamin D3 (safe) — Routine fortification that aids calcium absorption. Beneficial, not a red flag.
