Our take

CleanPlate review

Oats and soy, sweetened with sugar and artificial chocolate flavour

MuscleBlaze MB Fit High Protein Oats Dark Chocolate is instant oats (47.9%), textured soy protein (22%), raisins, chia and pumpkin seeds (13.5%), raw sugar, cocoa solids, artificial chocolate flavouring, pink salt and the antioxidant BHA.

CleanPlate scores it [L]BB3. The B for nutrition reflects 22 g protein and 12.5 g fibre per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by instant oats, texturized soy protein and fruit & seeds), with additives that cost points: BHA and flavouring. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: chocolate is named on the pack, but a chocolate flavouring is listed and the real chocolate is not among the first three ingredients. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (11.1 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (3.53 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Dark Chocolate”

    Misleading

    Cocoa solids are present, but an artificial chocolate flavouring is listed and the pack name does not say "flavoured".

  • On the pack

    “High Protein (22 g)”

    Holds

    22 g per 100 g; 11 g in a 50 g serve.

  • On the pack

    “High Fibre”

    Holds

    12.5 g per 100 g.

  • On the pack

    “Trans Fat Free”

    Holds

    Under 0.01 g per 100 g; no hydrogenated fat listed.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Instant oats (47.9%), texturized soy protein (22%), raisins, chia and pumpkin seeds (13.5%), raw sugar, cocoa solids, artificial chocolate flavouring, pink salt, antioxidant 320 (BHA).

Per 100 g: 377.6 kcal, 8.29 g fat of which 3.53 g saturated, 13.9 g sugar of which 11.1 g added, 12.5 g fibre, 22 g protein and 69 mg sodium.

Ingredients to watch

  • Artificial flavourWorth watching

    Artificial chocolate flavouring and BHA.

  • Added sugarWorth watching

    11.1 g per 100 g, 5.5 g in a 50 g bowl; about 12% of the calories.

  • Protein and fibreFine

    22 g protein, 12.5 g fibre per 100 g.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "25 g protein means a protein shake in a bowl"

The 25 g is per 100 g; a 40 to 50 g serve gives 10 to 13 g, about a quarter of a day's need, before milk.

Myth: "Soy protein is low quality"

Soy is one of the better plant proteins. Textured soy is scored a notch below isolate and whey, but well above oats alone.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA few times a week, 50 g
  • ChildrenOccasionally, a smaller serve
  • Diabetes or prediabetesMeasured serve; 11 g added sugar per 100 g

Smarter ways to eat it

Mix with plain oats

Half a scoop of this with plain rolled oats keeps most of the protein boost and halves the sugar or salt per bowl.

Sweeten with fruit

Banana, berries or chopped apple on top add sweetness and fibre without more jaggery or sugar.
