Orgain Clean Grass Fed Protein Shake, Creamy Chocolate Fudge — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Orgain Clean Grass Fed Protein Shake, Creamy Chocolate Fudge by Orgain OKAY — score 58/90.

A protein-first ready-to-drink shake with clean dairy protein and no added sugar, but propped up with a stack of stabilizers and gums that push it into ultra-processed territory.

Why this verdict

• 20g complete dairy protein with basically no added sugar
• Sweetened with monk fruit and stevia, not syrups or artificial sweeteners
• But carries three texture agents (cellulose gel, cellulose gum, gellan gum) plus lecithin
• Refined sunflower oil and 'natural flavors' add processing with no nutrition
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) despite the clean-label positioning

Ingredients (15)

• Filtered Water (safe) — Base liquid, no concern.
• Milk protein isolate (safe) — Additional high-purity milk protein.
• milk protein concentrate (moderate) — Processed dairy protein used to boost body and mouthfeel cheaply.
• ORGANIC ALKALIZED COCOA (safe) — Dutched cocoa for flavor; alkalizing strips some antioxidants but harmless.
• organic high oleic sunflower oil (moderate) — Refined oil, used for fats.
• Sunflower Lecithin (safe) — Emulsifier; benign.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
• Monk fruit extract (safe) — Natural non-nutritive sweetener stacked with allulose.
• Reb M stevia extract (safe) — Natural non-caloric sweetener; second sweetener source but both benign.
• sodium citrate (moderate) — Emulsifying salt in the process cheese.
• Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
• Cellulose gel (moderate) — Processed cellulose bulking/texturizing agent.
• Cellulose Gum (moderate) — Thickener adding to the multi-gum stabilizer system.
• calcium chloride (safe) — Firming salt that keeps the dice from turning to mush; trace amount, well tolerated.
• gellan gum (moderate) — Stabilizer that keeps almond solids suspended; generally well tolerated.
