Why B?

This whey milkshake provides strong protein content (21g per serving) with low sugar (1.1g) and balanced macros, making it a functional choice for athletes, weight-conscious consumers, and busy professionals. While it includes two red-flag ingredients (sucralose and vanillin), these are common in the whey milkshake category and acceptable in small quantities for flavor and palatability. The rest of the formulation is natural and purpose-driven, making this a good, although not clean-label, option.
