sport shake

Protein per serving typically ranges from about 20 grams up to 35 grams: plant-based powders frequently list around 20 g per serving, while many ready-to-drink (RTD) options are in the ~30–35 g per serving range.

These shakes are marketed for several uses: some are positioned as meal replacements, others highlight post-workout recovery (often adding electrolytes or amino acids), and a number explicitly promote pre- or post-workout fuel.

Sugar levels vary across products: some powders list less than 1 g of naturally occurring sugar, one RTD shows 1 g of sugar, and certain plant-based RTD options advertise zero sugar and no artificial sweeteners.

Several plant-based shakes are formulated and tested to be allergen-friendly: some explicitly state they are dairy-free and free of common allergens, and a few note third-party testing or validation for the top 9 allergens.

Plant-based formulas list sources such as pea, sprouted brown rice, chia, navy beans, lentils, garbanzo beans, pumpkin seed, and flax oil. Milk-based RTDs and powders commonly use milk protein blends, including whey and casein.

Frequently listed flavors include chocolate and vanilla, with additional options such as caramel variations (including sea salted caramel) and nut-butter-style flavors.
