Our take
CleanPlate reviewAlmond milk base with zero sugar declared
Minus Thirty Vanilla Mini is a 40 ml vegan stick made from almond milk, almond butter, French vanilla (5.2%), stevia and a dark chocolate coating made with coconut oil. The pack prints the panel per 40 ml serve, converted here to per 100 ml.
CleanPlate scores it EA1. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by almond milk, almond butter and french vanilla), with additives that cost points: steviol glycosides. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 216 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.25 g per 100 ml).
