SlimFast Meal Replacement Shake — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates SlimFast Meal Replacement Shake by Slimfast DUMP — score 20/90.

A lab-built diet shake: maltodextrin, stacked emulsifiers and gums, artificial flavor, and sucralose engineered around isolated milk proteins. NOVA 4 from top to bottom.

Why this verdict

• Maltodextrin plus stacked emulsifiers (mono/diglycerides, soy lecithin) and gums (cellulose gel and gum) - classic ultra-processed NOVA 4 build
• Artificial flavor doing the heavy lifting instead of real cocoa or vanilla
• Sucralose - artificial sweetener your body never evolved to handle
• Isolated milk protein fractions and refined canola oil, not whole food
• Engineered for appetite control, not nourishment

Ingredients (16)

• Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.
• Calcium Caseinate (moderate) — Isolated milk protein fraction - delivers protein but is a heavily processed dairy derivative, not whole milk.
• milk protein concentrate (safe) — The protein source — a legitimate dairy protein and one of the few worthwhile ingredients.
• CANOLA OIL (moderate) — Refined seed oil added for softness and shelf life.
• cocoa processed with alkali (moderate) — Dutched cocoa for color and mellow flavor; alkali processing strips most of the beneficial flavanols.
• POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE (moderate) — Added phosphate salt for mineral fortification and stability; excess added phosphates are a concern in processed foods.
• Cellulose gel (moderate) — Microcrystalline cellulose, a processed bulking/anti-caking agent with no nutritional role.
• Mono and Diglycerides (moderate) — Emulsifier that can carry trace trans fat; marker of ultra-processing.
• Maltodextrin (concerning) — A refined-starch filler with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; pure processed carbohydrate with no nutritional upside.
• glycerin (moderate) — Humectant/sweet bulking agent used for texture in formulated products.
• POTASSIUM CITRATE (safe) — pH buffer and mineral salt; benign in these amounts.
• Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
• Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
• Cellulose Gum (moderate) — Another stabilizer layered on top of the gels and gums.
• Artificial Flavor) (moderate) — Lab-made flavoring with no nutritional value — out of place in a 'finest ingredients' bar.
• Sucralose (moderate) — Intense artificial sweetener; calorie-free but keeps you chasing sweetness and may affect gut bacteria.
