Why So Good High Protein Soy Plant Based Beverage scores [F]BA1
Nutrition is a B on 5.5 g protein per 100 ml plus added vitamins and calcium. Ingredients are an A, held back slightly by carrageenan and flavouring, and risk is a 1 with 0 g added sugar.

- Vitamins and minerals

- Energy
- 40 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 5.5 g per 100 ml, which is 11 g in a 200 ml serve, and most of it comes from whole soybeans. Fibre is low at 0.3 g per 100 ml, and the core score on protein and fibre is modest.
Fortification adds a micronutrient bonus of 2.0 points. Calcium is 154 mg per 100 ml, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, D and folic acid are declared. That lifts the grade to a B. Without the fortification it would be a D.
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 A
Water, soybeans (18%) and soy isolate protein (1.8%) lead the list, so the base is simple. No sugar, oil or starch is added.
Carrageenan (INS 407) costs the most ingredient points, and the nature-identical vanilla flavouring costs a few more. The acidity regulator (INS 500(ii)) costs none. No label promise is hollow, so there is no [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- 0 g
- Sodium
- 59.6 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is a 1. Added sugar is 0 g and total sugar is 0.5 g per 100 ml, saturated fat is 0.3 g, and trans fat is 0 g.
Sodium is the largest part of the small risk figure: 59.6 mg per 100 ml, about 119 mg per 200 ml serve, from added salt. Energy is 39.9 kcal per 100 ml and adds nothing to the risk.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.

Does So Good High Protein Soy Plant Based Beverage live up to its claims?
The protein, no-added-sugar, high-calcium and no-preservatives claims all hold. Only the back-of-pack line about no added flavour sits oddly with the vanilla flavouring in the list.
- On the packHolds
“10g protein from soy”
5.5 g per 100 ml, so a 200 ml serve has about 11 g, a little above the 10 g printed.
- On the packHolds
“No added sugars”
Added sugar is 0 g. The 0.5 g per 100 ml is naturally occurring sugar.
- On the packHolds
“High in calcium”
154 mg per 100 ml, 308 mg per 200 ml serve. The calcium is added, as the list shows minerals.
- On the packHolds
“No preservatives”
No preservative is listed. The stabiliser (INS 407) and acidity regulator (INS 500(ii)) are additives but not preservatives.
- On the packBe careful
“No added flavour or colour”
No colour is listed, but the ingredient list includes nature-identical vanilla flavouring, and the front calls it a flavoured soybean beverage.
What's in So Good High Protein Soy Plant Based Beverage?
Water, whole soybeans and soy isolate lead the list, followed by minerals, vitamins and salt. The things to watch are the carrageenan and the nature-identical flavouring.
9 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern. 1 more entry looks like an additive we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water leads, then whole soybeans at 18% and soy isolate protein at 1.8%, which together provide the protein. Minerals and vitamins are added for calcium and the vitamin claims. Salt, a carrageenan stabiliser (INS 407), nature-identical vanilla flavouring and an acidity regulator (INS 500(ii)) finish the list.
What the additives do
Carrageenan (low concern): thickener and stabiliser. A seaweed-derived thickener used in dairy drinks and desserts. Food-grade carrageenan is approved, but its effect on the gut is debated. More on Carrageenan.
Not in our additive research yet: Acidity Regulator (INS 500(ii)).
Ingredients to watch
- Carrageenan (INS 407)Worth watching
A stabiliser that keeps the drink smooth. It costs the most ingredient points of any item on the list.
- FortificationWorth watching
Added calcium and vitamins lift the nutrition grade from a D to a B. The benefit comes from additions, not from the soybeans alone.
- Nature-identical flavouringWorth watching
Gives the vanilla taste and costs a few ingredient points.
- ProteinFine
5.5 g per 100 ml, about 11 g per 200 ml serve, from whole soybeans and soy isolate.
- Sugar and saturated fatFine
0 g added sugar and 0.3 g saturated fat per 100 ml, with no trans fat or cholesterol.
What it doesn’t have
- The list says only minerals and vitamins, without naming which ones or giving amounts.
- Fibre is low at 0.3 g per 100 ml.
What to know about So Good High Protein Soy Plant Based Beverage
11 g protein a glass, with fortification doing the lifting
A 1 L carton of vanilla-flavoured soy drink built from water, whole soybeans (18%) and soy isolate protein (1.8%), then topped up with minerals, vitamins, salt, a stabiliser (carrageenan, INS 407), nature-identical vanilla flavouring and an acidity regulator. It is sold to people who want a dairy-free drink with more protein than the usual plant milk.
A 200 ml serve, which is two to a carton, has 79.8 kcal, 11.1 g protein, 3.4 g fat, 0.9 g sugar and 308 mg calcium. Added sugar is 0 g. Sodium is 119 mg per serve, from added salt. Per 100 ml the drink has 39.9 kcal, 5.5 g protein and 154 mg calcium.
