Shopping Guide
Who this is for
ESSENTIAL True Strawberry is a daily protein supplement for shoppers who want strawberry flavor from freeze-dried strawberries, with zero added sugar and stevia among its main ingredients.
It is not the right fit if you avoid stevia, or if you avoid milk entirely: milk is one of its main ingredients. It is listed as less than 2g lactose per serving, not as lactose-free.
How to choose
Three criteria decide whether this is the right pick:
- Sweetener: stevia is listed among the main ingredients, with zero added sugar. Monk fruit is not among the listed main ingredients, so look elsewhere if monk fruit is a must-have.
- Dairy: it contains milk and is listed as less than 2g lactose per serving. If you need to avoid milk entirely, it is not the right pick.
- Dietary notes: it is listed as formulated without gluten-containing ingredients and made from non-GMO ingredients.
Spec highlights
- Main ingredients: freeze-dried strawberries, milk and stevia.
- Sugar: zero added sugar.
- Lactose: less than 2g lactose per serving.
- Milk sourcing: the whey comes from pasture-raised cows in the French Alps.
- Intended use: daily protein supplement.
- Listed benefits: maintains lean muscle. This is the listing's own stated claim.
Common questions
Is it sweetened with stevia, or does it use monk fruit? It uses stevia. Stevia is listed among its main ingredients, alongside freeze-dried strawberries and milk, and the product is listed as zero added sugar. Monk fruit is not among the listed main ingredients. If you want to avoid stevia, this is not the right pick; if stevia is fine for you, it meets that need.
Is ESSENTIAL True Strawberry formulated without gluten-containing ingredients and made from non-GMO ingredients? Yes, it is listed as formulated without gluten-containing ingredients and made from non-GMO ingredients. It is also listed as less than 2g lactose per serving, which is not the same as lactose-free. If you avoid dairy entirely, note that milk is one of its main ingredients, so this is a milk-based product.
What is in it, and where does the milk come from? Its main ingredients are freeze-dried strawberries, milk and stevia. The whey comes from pasture-raised cows in the French Alps. The listing also states zero added sugar and describes the product as a daily protein supplement. Those three are the main ingredients the listing names, so nothing else is claimed here.
