"Finding functional ways to meet your daily protein needs can be a bit tricky - especially if you're going for big gains and great taste. Luckily, here at Tasting Table, we recently ranked protein snacks and drinks at Aldi based on both nutrition and flavor. Ranking low at 10 out of 12 products, the worst out of the protein beverages was the Protein20 Wild Cherry Protein Hydration Drink."
"The flavored protein water format and the fact that each 16.9 fluid-ounce bottle contains 15 grams of protein and no added sugar are enticing at first glance. But in a crowded market of the best and worst protein sodas, drinks, and waters, the flavor needs to be on point. However, the cherry drink just didn't cut it. The product, also offered at other retailers like Walmart and Amazon, is sweetened with erythritol, and the sugar alcohol likely contributes to "that hard-to-miss Stevia flavor""
Protein20 Wild Cherry Protein Hydration Drink is a flavored protein water offering 15 grams of protein per 16.9 fluid-ounce bottle with no added sugar. The beverage is sweetened with erythritol, producing a pronounced sugar-alcohol aftertaste similar to Stevia. Included electrolytes aim to provide hydration but create a noticeable salty flavor that clashes with the intense artificial cherry profile. The overall taste is described as salty, syrupy, and reminiscent of Pedialyte and fake cherry candy. Flavor preferences vary by person and by product variety, so trying other flavors or different protein beverages may be advisable.
