OWYN Pro Elite Dairy-Free Protein Shake, Chocolate — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates OWYN Pro Elite Dairy-Free Protein Shake, Chocolate by OWYN OKAY — score 58/90.
A clean-ish plant protein shake: 32g pea and pumpkin-seed protein, zero added sugar, no artificial colors or flavors. It's still an engineered functional drink with isolated proteins, two sweeteners, and gums, so it's a solid supplement rather than a whole food.
Why this verdict
- 32g plant protein from pea and pumpkin seed with all 9 essential amino acids
- Zero added sugar, no maltodextrin, no artificial flavors or colors
- Still an engineered shake: isolated proteins, two sweeteners, gellan gum, and vague 'natural flavor'
- Uses two non-nutritive sweeteners (monk fruit plus stevia) rather than one
