Fairlife Core Power Protein Shake, 26g
A ready-to-drink milk-based protein shake that can help provide protein when appetite is low or a full meal feels difficult.
Why it received this rating
Fairlife Core Power provides a concentrated source of protein in a drinkable form, which may be easier for some people to tolerate than a full solid meal. It is relatively moderate in calories and fat compared with heavier meal replacements, but individual tolerance to dairy, sweeteners, and thicker shakes can vary.
Nutrition snapshot

Portion and preparation guidance
One 14 fl oz bottle is a larger, creamier serving than the Nutrition Plan line. If a full bottle feels like too much, split it across two occasions and keep the rest refrigerated.
Symptoms or considerations
The bigger, milkshake-style serving is the most common complaint on GLP-1s: 14 ounces of liquid can create pressure fullness. It is lactose-free but dairy-based, and the 4.5g of fat is still low but slightly richer than the 30g Nutrition Plan shake.

Review current fairlife Core Power Chocolate 26g labelCommon questions
Core Power vs Fairlife Nutrition Plan: which is easier on a GLP-1?
They are close. The Nutrition Plan bottle is smaller (11.5 vs 14 fl oz) and leaner (30g protein for 150 calories vs 26g for 170), which some people find easier when fullness hits fast. Core Power tastes creamier, which can help when appetite is low but nothing sounds good.
Does Core Power have added sugar?
No. The roughly 5g of sugar on the label is naturally occurring milk sugar that survives ultra-filtration; added sugar is 0g. It is sweetened with monk fruit, stevia, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium.
