Nutritional Summary
The product is rated 'POOR' primarily due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 80g serving contains 32g of added sugar, which accounts for 64% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. While it has a good protein content (9.3g), the excessive sugar level makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Balanced Shrikhand Breakfast Bowl
To reduce the intense sweetness, mix half a tub of the passion fruit shrikhand with an equal amount of plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt. Spoon the mixture into a bowl. Top with fresh berries, a tablespoon of toasted pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of honey if needed.
Health Benefits
This preparation balances the high sugar content with extra protein and probiotics from yogurt and adds fiber and healthy fats from seeds.
Protein-Boosted Passion Fruit Smoothie
In a blender, combine half a tub of the shrikhand, one frozen banana, a cup of unsweetened almond milk, and a handful of spinach. Blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Creates a nutrient-dense smoothie with added potassium, vitamins, and fiber while using less of the high-sugar product.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including stabilizer (440), acidity regulators (330, 331(iii)), and natural colours (160a(iii), 150d), are permitted by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption. The primary health concern stems from the nutritional profile, not the additives themselves.

Marketing Claims
The claim '9g protein' is accurate. 'Made with Real Fruit' is technically true as it contains fruit juice concentrate. However, the claim 'Only Natural Ingredients' is questionable. The product contains 'nature identical flavouring substances' which are synthetically produced, along with processed additives like stabilizers and acidity regulators. This could mislead consumers seeking genuinely all-natural products.
