Wellbeing Nutrition Whey Protein Isolate (Dark Chocolate) is a 1 kg tub of whey protein isolate (83%) with dates (7%), alkalised cocoa (6%), Velositol (2.82%), digestive enzymes, monk fruit and probiotics. One 35.5 g scoop gives 26 g of protein. Every ingredient carries a percentage.
CleanPlate scores it CC2. The C for nutrition is middling: 74.9 g protein per 100 g.

Dates (7%) are scored as a dried-fruit ingredient, not as free sugar; total sugars are 5.4 g per 100 g with 0 g added. Trans fat (0.1 g per 100 g) is not counted because whey isolate and lecithin are the only fat sources. Velositol is a branded amylopectin and chromium blend and is scored as an isolated starch fraction.
