Premier Protein Shake, Cafe Latte with Caffeine — ENGINEERED

Name: Premier Protein Shake, Cafe Latte with Caffeine
Brand: Premier Protein

Munch or Dump rates Premier Protein Shake, Cafe Latte with Caffeine by Premier Protein ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

The same engineered chassis as the chocolate — cellulose gels, carrageenan, sucralose, ace-K, phosphate stack — with coffee extract and 120mg of added caffeine bolted on. The 30g of dairy protein is real; everything around it came off a formulation bench. A protein shake and an energy drink fused into one can.

Why this verdict

Triple stabilizer system — cellulose gel, cellulose gum, and carrageenan — simulating latte body
Dual artificial sweeteners (sucralose + acesulfame potassium) behind the 'no added sugar' line
120mg of added caffeine listed as its own ingredient, on top of coffee extract — a stimulant delivery system, not a latte
Natural and artificial flavors plus a four-part phosphate blend round out the lab formula
Genuine 30g of complete dairy protein and a real inulin fiber addition — the honest parts of the can

Ingredients (12)

milk protein concentrate (moderate) — Processed dairy protein used to boost body and mouthfeel cheaply.
Calcium Caseinate (safe) — Isolated slow-digesting milk protein.
Added caffeine (moderate) — 120mg per can — fine for most adults, but easy to forget it's in a 'protein shake'.
Carrageenan (moderate) — Seaweed-derived stabilizer; some people report digestive sensitivity.
Sucralose (moderate) — Artificial sweetener; unexpected in a bakery pie and a second sweetness source.
Acesulfame Potassium (caution) — Second artificial sweetener stacked with sucralose.
CELLULOSE GEL AND CELLULOSE GUM (moderate) — Paired stabilizers for engineered texture.
Natural and Artificial Flavors (caution) — Undisclosed lab flavoring - the artificial half signals engineering.
Phosphate blend (tripotassium, dipotassium, hexametaphosphate) (moderate) — Industrial protein-suspension system; adds to dietary phosphate load.
inulin (moderate) — Chicory-root fiber; boosts the fiber number but can cause bloating in sensitive people.
high oleic sunflower oil (moderate) — Refined oil for texture and a small amount of fat.
VITAMIN AND MINERAL BLEND (safe) — 20 synthetic micronutrients backing the fortification claim.
