Three ingredients. Here is why each one is in there.

  • Grass-fed Australian whey

    The protein. 23 g a serve, from Australian grass-fed dairy. Whey concentrate rather than isolate, so more of the milk is left in it. This is the reason the product exists.

  • Organic cacao

    The flavour. Actual cacao, not a blend bought in from a flavour house. It is why this tastes like chocolate instead of a milkshake sachet.

  • Coconut sugar

    The sweetness. Sap from the coconut palm, dried and ground, and that is the whole process. Unrefined, low GI, and one ingredient doing one job.

So what are the other twenty ingredients doing in there?

Sucralose, acesulfame potassium

Artificial sweeteners, hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. A few grams will sweeten an entire tub, which costs the manufacturer next to nothing. That is the appeal.

Xanthan gum, guar gum

Thickeners. They make a thin shake feel creamy in the mouth. Cheaper than putting more real ingredients in the bag.

Soy lecithin

An emulsifier. It coats the powder so it mixes without clumping. It solves a texture problem, not a nutrition one.

Silicon dioxide

An anti-caking agent. Keeps powder free-flowing through the factory line and loose in the bag. Another manufacturing problem, solved on the label.

“Natural flavours”

A catch-all. Under the labelling rules a flavouring can be declared as one word, no matter how many compounds sit behind it. You are not told what you are drinking.

So are they dangerous?

No, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. They are all approved for food use. They are just not in there for you. They are in there to make protein powder cheaper to produce and easier to run through a factory. We would rather spend that money on what goes in the bag.

Made by two of us, on the Sunshine Coast

Yellow Bee is not a supplement company with a marketing department. It is a husband and wife who got sick of reading twenty-ingredient labels, so we sourced grass-fed Australian whey, organic cacao and coconut sugar and started mixing it ourselves. We mix it, we bag it, and we pack every order that leaves here.

Three ingredients. No Bull.

Whey, cacao, coconut sugar. Turn the bag over and check for yourself.
