Good Housekeeping has recognized Elmhurst Pistachio Crème Clean Protein as the Best Protein Drink in its 2026 Snack Awards. Each product considered for the awards was carefully assessed for flavor, ingredient quality, nutritional value, convenience, innovation, and more. Good Housekeeping's team of dietitians, culinary pros, and more than 2,000 at-home testers tasted, compared, and evaluated every contender before selecting the snacks and beverages that rose to the top.
Best Protein Drink
In its roundup of award-winning beverages, Good Housekeeping praised Elmhurst Clean Protein Pistachio Crème for delivering indulgent flavor alongside strong nutritional credentials. Naming Elmhurst Best Protein Drink, Good Housekeeping wrote:
“Elmhurst is redefining what a premade protein shake can taste like. With real pistachios and premium vanilla extract in its Pistachio Crème flavor, the shake delivers 27 g of plant-based protein without gums, stabilizers, or artificial ingredients.”
Additionally, Good Housekeeping’s nutrition director, Stefani Sassos called it her favorite protein shake yet, comparing the flavor to that of a pistachio almond cookie and recommending that it be served well chilled: “It strikes the perfect balance of sweetness without the lingering aftertaste that’s so common in shakes like this.”
Made with a pistachio milk base, Pistachio Crème is part of Elmhurst’s Clean Protein line, a collection of ready-to-drink plant-based protein beverages made for consumers seeking convenient nutrition that still feels smooth, creamy, and indulgent. Each bottle delivers 27g of complete plant protein from peas and mung beans, with 4g sugar or less and no gums, seed oils, artificial sweeteners, or artificial flavors.
