Chocolate High Protein Shake 42g | fairlife Core Power ELITE Milk Shakes
I have looked at the ingredient list and there's no extra protein listed, but it has 42 grams. These were BOGO at the grocery store, so I loaded up on the 42g ones.
How can 8oz of milk have so high a protein profile? They have vanilla flavor also, and like the chocolate, no extra protein is listed on the ingredient list.

Your question was asked in the FAQ on the website. They "concentrate both protein and calcium" by some unique milk filtration process. Their answer, not mine:
It comes directly from fresh milk! We ultra-filter real milk to concentrate the naturally occurring protein and calcium. So we never need to add protein or calcium powders – it’s already in the milk!
We do not add additional proteins of any kind. The proteins found in fairlife ultra-filtered milk reflect the natural whey and casein proteins found in milk: 80% casein and 20% whey. These are concentrated through the ultra-filtration process.
I have no idea what that means.
Thank you, everyone. Obviously, I didn't read the FAQ close enough.
yes, my interpretation is that basically they take out some water, leaving a more concentrated milk. I've had their shakes on occasion, and found them tasty. Some of the packaged shakes have a metallic or medicinal taste for me, maybe due to preservatives or packaging, but the Fairlife ones have been OK.
That makes sense. It's pretty good stuff, I grab it on the road all of the time.
