How to Read a Protein Powder Label (and Spot the Junk!)
Share
Picking a protein powder shouldn’t feel like decoding a chemistry textbook. But that’s exactly what happens with most commercial brands. Hidden behind buzzwords like “lean,” “zero sugar,” and “mass gainer” are ingredients that might do more harm than good — especially when you’re feeding your family.
Here’s a simple, mom-approved way to understand what you’re really putting into your body (and what to avoid):
👉 1. Can you pronounce the ingredients?
If you see names like sucralose, maltodextrin, or whey isolate — pause. These are ultra-processed, artificial additions that don’t belong in a daily diet. They often cause bloating, acne, and gut discomfort.
✅ Instead, look for ingredients like green gram, chickpeas, moth beans, jowar, bajra, coriander, and cumin — just like the ones found in the Ghar se Ghar Healthy Protein Mix.
👉 2. Look for hidden sugars
“No added sugar” doesn’t always mean sugar-free. Brands sneak in artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or syrups under confusing names.
✅ Ghar se Ghar’s mix has zero sweeteners — so you control the flavor, not a factory.
👉 3. Are there fillers and stabilizers?
If a label has more gums, thickeners, and preservatives than real food, it’s not worth it. Many of these additives serve shelf life, not your health.
✅ Ghar se Ghar makes small batches, so the mix stays fresh naturally — with no help from chemicals.
👉 4. Is it food or formula?
A good protein source should be something you can eat with a spoon, mix into your roti, or cook into laddoos. Not just dissolve in water.
✅ Our mix blends beautifully into real Indian meals. It’s not for shakes. It’s for everyday cooking — the way real nutrition was always meant to be.
👉 5. Can your child eat it? Can your dadi?
If it’s not safe or suitable for the whole family, it probably belongs in a supplement aisle — not your kitchen shelf.
✅ Ghar se Ghar Healthy Protein Mix is made with food-grade ingredients suitable for all age groups, from toddlers to elders.
When in doubt, go back to the rule your nani swore by: If you can’t say it, maybe don’t eat it.
