Our take

CleanPlate review

Fermented yeast protein, 68 g per 100 g, sucralose added

Yoga Bar Fermented Yeast Protein (Chocolate) is a 500 g tub of yeast protein isolate (80.8%) with cocoa (10%), inulin, flavouring, sucralose, probiotic strains and an enzyme blend. One 38 g scoop gives about 26 g of protein. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it BC3. The B for nutrition reflects 68 g protein and 6.26 g fibre per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by yeast protein isolate, cocoa powder and inulin from chicory root), with additives that cost points: sucralose and flavouring. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (456 mg per 100 g) and calories (364 kcal per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • On the pack

    “26g Protein per scoop”

    Holds

    68 g per 100 g in a 38 g scoop is 25.8 g of protein.

  • On the pack

    “With No Added Sugar”

    Holds

    Added sugar is 0 g on the panel and no sugar is listed.

  • On the pack

    “No artificial flavours and colors”

    Be careful

    The list has "nature-identical flavouring substances", which are made in a factory to copy natural flavours, so the claim depends on how you read artificial.

  • On the pack

    “1B CFU Probiotics”

    Be careful

    The probiotic strains are listed, but the CFU count is not on the nutrition panel and cannot be checked.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Yeast protein isolate (80.8%), cocoa (10%), inulin, flavourings, Himalayan pink salt, Bacillus coagulans, sucralose and the ProAbsorb enzyme and probiotic blend.

Per 100 g: 364 kcal, 6.1 g fat of which 1.5 g saturated, 12.7 g fibre, 68 g protein, 456 mg sodium. The Blinkit listing carries a second nutrition block (36 g carbohydrate, 9 g fat, 1,520 mg sodium) that does not fit the pack; the pack panel is used. Total sugars are printed as under 1 g, so no sugar figure is entered.

Ingredients to watch

  • SucraloseWorth watching

    A non-sugar sweetener (INS 955), which costs 4 points in the additives score.

  • Flavourings and enzymesWorth watching

    Nature-identical flavouring and an enzyme blend (papain, bromelain, protease) cost another 3 points.

  • Isolated proteinWorth watching

    Yeast protein isolate is an industrial extract, which is why the ingredients grade is a C.

  • SodiumWorth watching

    456 mg per 100 g, about 173 mg a scoop, is the largest part of the risk grade.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Yeast protein is the same as brewer's yeast"

It is a protein isolate made by fermentation, not the whole yeast, so it is graded as an industrial protein.

Myth: "No added sugar means no sweetener"

The sweetness comes from sucralose, a non-sugar sweetener.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA scoop a day at most, if food protein falls short
  • ChildrenNot needed
  • Diabetes or prediabetesFine in moderation

Smarter ways to eat it

One scoop

A 38 g scoop is about 138 kcal with 26 g of protein and 173 mg of sodium.

Mixing

The pack says the enzymes start working when mixed and the drink turns bitter if left to sit, so drink it soon after mixing.
