What to know about Cavin's Badam Milkshake

A sweet milk drink with 0.6% almond

Cavin's Badam Milkshake is a sterilised, flavoured toned milk drink in a 170 ml can. It is built from toned milk and sugar, with almond bits (0.6%), cardamom powder (0.1%), a stabiliser, a sequestrant, an emulsifier, iodised salt and an artificial condensed-milk flavouring. It is bought as a cold, sweet sip after a meal or as a quick treat.

Per 100 ml it has 113.5 kcal, 3.1 g protein, 15.4 g total sugar (10.4 g of it added), 2.8 g saturated fat and 63 mg sodium. The pack counts the can as two 85 ml cups: one cup is 96.9 kcal and 8.8 g added sugar, and the whole can is about 193 kcal and 17.7 g added sugar. Calcium is 110 mg per 100 ml.

The name and the front promise real badam bits and real milk. The milk is real and leads the list, but the almond is a very small share, and the name itself says only that the drink is badam flavoured. CleanPlate scores it DB4.

Why Cavin's Badam Milkshake scores DB4

Nutrition is a D because protein is only 3.1 g per 100 ml and earns no core credit. Ingredients are a B despite carrageenan and flavouring, and risk is a 4, driven mostly by 10.4 g added sugar per 100 ml.

01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 3.1 g per 100 ml, almost all from toned milk, which is not enough to earn core credit. No fibre is declared. The 85 ml cup gives 2.6 g protein.

What lifts the grade is calcium: 110 mg per 100 ml, which gives a small micronutrient bonus. Nothing else is declared, so the grade stays low.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list starts with toned milk, a real food, followed by sugar. Almond bits (0.6%) and cardamom (0.1%) are the only declared percentages, and both are small.

Additives cost ingredient points: carrageenan (407) costs the most, then the phosphate sequestrants (339 and 340), the emulsifier (471) and the artificial condensed-milk flavouring. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and the label makes no hollow promise, so the grade holds at a B.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar is the biggest driver: 10.4 g added sugar per 100 ml, which is 8.8 g in one 85 ml cup and about 17.7 g in the whole can.

Energy (113.5 kcal per 100 ml) and saturated fat (2.8 g per 100 ml, 2.4 g per cup) add to it. Sodium is low at 63 mg per 100 ml, and trans fat is declared as under 0.1 g, so neither adds much.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

  • Red flag: High added sugar (10.4g per 100ml)
  • Red flag: High saturated fat (2.8g)

Does Cavin's Badam Milkshake live up to its claims?

The milk, protein and calcium claims hold, but the almond is a small part: badam bits are 0.6% of the drink, and the name only says badam flavoured.

  • On the pack

    “Badam Flavoured”

    Partly true

    This is an honest flavoured name. Almond bits are 0.6% of the drink, and an artificial condensed-milk flavouring is also listed.

  • On the pack

    “With Real Bits of Badam”

    Partly true

    The almond bits are real, but they make up only 0.6% of the drink.

  • On the pack

    “Blended with Real Milk”

    Holds

    Toned milk is the first ingredient and supplies most of the protein.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Protein”

    Holds

    3.1 g protein per 100 ml, so 2.6 g in one 85 ml cup.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Calcium”

    Holds

    110 mg calcium per 100 ml, so 93 mg in one 85 ml cup.

What's in Cavin's Badam Milkshake?

Toned milk and sugar lead the list, with almond bits at 0.6% and several additives. The added sugar and the carrageenan are the points to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Toned milk comes first, then sugar, so the drink is milk sweetened to taste like a dessert. Almond bits (0.6%) and cardamom powder (0.1%) give the badam and spice notes, and they are the only ingredients with a declared share.

The rest is texture and flavour: carrageenan (407) as a stabiliser, two phosphates (340 and 339) as sequestrants, mono- and diglycerides (471) as an emulsifier, iodised salt and an artificial condensed-milk flavouring.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    10.4 g per 100 ml, 8.8 g in one 85 ml cup and about 17.7 g in the whole can. It is the biggest part of the risk grade.

  • Carrageenan (407)Worth watching

    A stabiliser that costs the most ingredient points of the additives listed.

  • Phosphates, emulsifier and flavouringWorth watching

    Sequestrants 339 and 340, emulsifier 471 and the artificial condensed-milk flavouring each cost ingredient points.

  • Saturated fatWorth watching

    2.8 g per 100 ml, 2.4 g in one cup, from the milk.

  • Protein and calciumFine

    3.1 g protein and 110 mg calcium per 100 ml, from real milk.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre is declared on the panel.
  • Almond is only 0.6%, so the badam in the name comes mostly from flavour rather than nuts.

Who should eat Cavin's Badam Milkshake?

An occasional drink for most adults, and rarely for children. One 85 ml cup has 8.8 g added sugar, and the can holds two.

  • Most adultsOccasionally

    8.8 g added sugar per cup, and the can holds two cups.

  • ChildrenRarely

    Added sugar and an artificial flavouring in a sweet drink.

  • Heart healthOccasionally

    2.8 g saturated fat per 100 ml, 2.4 g per cup.

  • Lactose intoleranceCheck with your doctor
