SlimFast High Protein Meal Replacement Shake Mix — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates SlimFast High Protein Meal Replacement Shake Mix by StamEat DUMP — score 20/90.

A lab-built meal-replacement powder: refined protein isolates, refined oil, maltodextrin, four gums, sucralose and artificial flavors, all dosed with synthetic vitamins. NOVA 4 through and through.

Why this verdict

• Maltodextrin plus dextrose and sucralose stack three sweetener/refined-carb sources into one powder
• Four-plus gums and stabilizers (gum arabic, cellulose gel, xanthan, carrageenan, guar) build fake shake texture
• Sucralose and artificial flavors despite a '100% natural' label tag
• Over 30 ingredients, NOVA 4 ultra-processed
• Refined protein isolates and refined oil, zero whole food

Ingredients (20)

• Whey Protein Isolate (safe) — High-quality, fast-digesting protein with a complete amino acid profile; the legit core of this product.
• Soy Protein Isolate (moderate) — Cheap processed protein extender to bulk out the meat.
• cocoa processed with alkali (moderate) — Dutched cocoa for color and mellow flavor; alkali processing strips most of the beneficial flavanols.
• high oleic sunflower oil (moderate) — Refined oil; more stable than most seed oils but still a processed fat with no whole-food value here.
• gum arabic (safe) — A plant-derived fiber/gum used as a binder. Generally harmless in these amounts.
• Cellulose gel (moderate) — Microcrystalline cellulose, a processed bulking/anti-caking agent with no nutritional role.
• Buttermilk Powder (safe) — Dairy solids for flavor and body; fine in moderation.
• Maltodextrin (concerning) — A refined-starch filler with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; pure processed carbohydrate with no nutritional upside.
• Xanthan Gum (moderate) — Lab-produced stabilizer for texture; mild gut effects in large amounts.
• Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
• Natural & Artificial Flavors (moderate) — Lab-made flavoring standing in for real black cherry and cream — no actual fruit or dairy.
• Carrageenan (moderate) — Stabilizer linked to gut irritation in some studies.
• Dextrose (concerning) — A second added sugar (pure glucose) that hits the bloodstream even faster than sucrose.
• Guar Gum (safe) — Plant-based thickener from guar beans. Safe in these small amounts; can cause gas in large doses.
• Sucralose (moderate) — Intense artificial sweetener; calorie-free but keeps you chasing sweetness and may affect gut bacteria.
• Sodium phosphate / potassium phosphate (moderate) — Phosphate salts used as buffers and emulsifying aids.
• Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
• Calcium carbonate / magnesium oxide / calcium phosphate (safe) — Synthetic mineral fortification; fills the '24 vitamins and minerals' claim.
• Sodium ascorbate / vitamin E acetate / niacinamide (vitamin blend) (safe) — Added synthetic vitamins; nutritionally useful but a sign of a fortified, not whole, food.
• Zinc oxide / ferric orthophosphate / trace mineral blend (safe) — Synthetic trace minerals rounding out the fortification.
