Build up, powder, shake, assorted flavours

Build up is a powdered shake mix. These figures describe the dry powder, not a prepared drink, and are based on the manufacturer’s average for chocolate, strawberry, banana and vanilla flavours. Per 100g, it provides 63g of carbohydrate, including 62g of sugars, alongside 21g of protein and 8.2g of fibre. It also contains a range of vitamins and minerals.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. Sugars account for most of the carbohydrate, which is relevant when monitoring sugar intake. The nutrient content of a prepared shake depends on the amount of powder and the liquid used to make it. Full nutrient figures for the powder are in the tables below.

About these figures
