Quick answer
Enjoy in Moderation
Trader Joe's non dairy-oat beverage is rated enjoy in moderation overall, with a Longevity Score of 72 out of 100 and a Food Integrity Score of 75 out of 100.

Strengths include short ingredient list with mostly recognizable items, oat base provides some fiber per serving, and low saturated fat and no added oils, while main considerations include cane sugar adds notable sweetness per serving, low protein for a beverage this calorie-dense, and natural flavors and gellan gum.
