What to know about Yoga Bar Almond Drink Unsweetened
A clean, light almond drink, mostly water and fortification
Yoga Bar Almond Drink Unsweetened is a 1 L carton of plant-based drink made from water, almonds (4%), sunflower seeds and salt, with a vitamin and mineral premix. It is bought by people who avoid dairy or lactose, and by coffee drinkers who want a milk-style pour without sugar.
A 250 ml glass, the pack's serve, gives about 66 kcal, 3 g protein, 0.5 g saturated fat and 63 mg sodium. Per 100 ml that is 26.5 kcal, 1.21 g protein, 0 g sugar and 25.2 mg sodium. It is a light drink: low in everything, protein included.
The pack says unsweetened, lactose free and added vitamins, and the label backs all three. The weaker point is the almond: it is 4% of the drink, and the rest is mostly water. The line about doing everything milk can do goes further than the numbers. CleanPlate scores it [F]CA1.
Why Yoga Bar Almond Drink Unsweetened scores [F]CA1
Nutrition is a C only because of added vitamins and zinc; without them it would be an E. Ingredients are an A on a five-item list, and risk is a 1 with 0 g sugar per 100 ml.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 1.2 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- 6 declared
- Energy
- 27 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 1.21 g per 100 ml and energy is 26.54 kcal, so the core nutrition score is zero. The grade comes from the added vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B12 and zinc, which are worth 2 points in the micronutrient bonus.
Without that fortification the grade would be an E. A 250 ml glass has about 3 g protein and 66 kcal.
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
The list is short and plain: water, almonds, sunflower seeds, salt and a vitamin premix. No additive of concern is listed, no sweetener and no hydrogenated fat.
The one deduction is a small label point, because the almond in the name is only 4% of the drink. That costs ingredient points but leaves the grade at an A.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Saturated fat
- 0.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 1
Sugar is 0 g per 100 ml, saturated fat is 0.2 g and sodium is 25.2 mg, so each part of the risk number is small. Trans fat is 0 g and energy adds nothing.
That puts risk at the lowest level, a 1. One 250 ml glass has 0.5 g saturated fat and 63 mg sodium.
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.
