Our take
CleanPlate reviewProtein is real; the double chocolate barely is
Yoga Bar 26 g Protein Milkshake is a 250 ml dairy shake of milk solids (85.4%), milk protein concentrate (7.7%), maltitol and steviol sweeteners, cocoa powder (1%), chocolate (0.2%), carrageenan and flavours. The panel is per 100 ml with a 250 ml serve.
CleanPlate scores it [L]BB1. The B for nutrition reflects 10.4 g protein and natural calcium per 100 ml. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by milk solids, milk protein concentrate and cocoa powder), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, flavouring, steviol glycosides and maltitol. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: chocolate is named on the pack but makes up only 1.2% of the product. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 110 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.5 g per 100 ml).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- On the packHolds
“26G Protein Shake”
The panel gives 26 g of protein per 250 ml serve, 10.4 g per 100 ml.
- On the packBe careful
“No Added Sugar”
Added sugar is 0 g, but the shake is sweetened with maltitol and steviol glycosides; 5.3 g of total sugar is milk sugar.
- Product nameMisleading
“Double Chocolate”
Cocoa powder is 1% and chocolate 0.2%, with nature-identical flavouring for the rest of the chocolate taste.

Ingredients to watch
- Chocolate named, barely presentConcern
Cocoa and chocolate total 1.2%; this sets the label-integrity mark.
- CarrageenanWorth watching
A stabiliser (407) that costs 6 points on the additive scale.
- Two sweetenersWorth watching
Maltitol (a polyol) and steviol glycosides replace sugar.
- Protein and calciumFine
10.4 g protein and 140 mg calcium per 100 ml, with 0.5 g saturated fat.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "A protein shake is a meal replacement"
At 210 kcal a bottle it is a snack with protein, not a meal.
Myth: "No added sugar means sugar free"
5.3 g of milk sugar per 100 ml remains, and maltitol is a sweetener with calories.
