Not a great choice for everyday, despite its wholesome-looking ingredients.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains whey powder, an industrially processed protein ingredient, and rice starch, an extracted and isolated starch used in formulation. Fruit juice concentrate is also an industrially concentrated ingredient. Although the dates, nuts, coconut, and fruit-based ingredients are otherwise relatively simple, these processed ingredients make the product an industrial formulation under the stated criteria.
