Grass Fed Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate Powder - 20g Protein Powder Without Artificial Sweeteners, Hormone-Free Cows, Non GMO - 1lb

I looked at the ingredients for so many whey protein isolate products which had a ton of extra BS no one asked for: Artificial surgars OR That vague "Natural Flavors" no one knows what it actually is. So I was super excited when I found this. YES, it's a little more than what I'd like to pay for about 2 weeks worth of supplies, but my OH MY!! Chef's kiss!! I drink it with my daily regular hot coffee which makes it a "profee" mocha every morning. I add the powder w/some cinnamon in a coffee cup then pour my coffee over it. I LOVE IT and look forward to it every morning- It makes my coffee creamy and All I do it stir!! No, blending or frothing needed. It does separate a Lil though. (I keep a spoon next to me to stir here & there.)10 out of 10 recommend. It's the peferct amount of chocolate and sweetness with 20 grams of protein and only 120 cal. #Winning

UPDATE: I have now tried both the Coffee and Chocolate flavors. The coffee variety tastes just like... well... coffee. It's unsweetened so if you want it sweet you'll have to add something to sweeten it up. I have found that mixing one scoop of the coffee and one scoop of the chocolate is delicious! Unfortunately the packaging has now omitted how many scoops to use. It's two scoops, loosely scooped (don't compact it). ORIGINAL: Friends, I have tried so many protein powders. Everyone seems paleo-obsessed the last few years, and so every protein powder seems targeted to that market, sweetened with things like stevia extract and monk fruit extract. I use the word "sweetened" loosely because all of these highly processed "natural" sweeteners have terrible, bitter aftertastes. These might taste good the moment you first drink them, but then the bitter aftertaste lingers and lingers (and lingers)... bleh. I had resolved to just use unflavored powder, but that was a little underwhelming. What I really wanted to find was a flavored protein powder with quality ingredients, which could satisfy my sweet cravings while supporting my workout regimen. And I am telling you, this is it. It's SO good. I mix it with some unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it's just super delicious. Only 8 ounces of almond milk with two scoops of this stuff blended really well froths up and fills up a pint glass, and after drinking that I feel super satisfied, especially if I also eat some fruit or crunchy veggies along with it. It does use sugar, a little less than two teaspoons per serving (there's more than double that in a mere half cup of ice cream), so if you're cutting out sugar totally for any reason this might not work for you, and you'll want to limit how much you have in a day if you're watching sugar intake. But for me, it's: *chef's kiss* I'm looking forward to experimenting with the chocolate flavor and adding fruit, nut butters, and other stuff to the mix. But just on its own it's a great, quick, reliably delicious shot of protein, and for me a super satisfying replacement for dessert.

I have mixed emotions, but I'm trying to be fair here and give four stars because the pros so outweigh the cons. It does mix well with a blender (ninja blast here), but it gets frothy as many have said. It also separates fairly quickly (like on my drive to work), so be prepared to give it a few shakes before drinking. The bag does not tell you how many ounces of liquid to use with two scoops, so we winged it. Tried it with water, 2 percent milk (trying to get son to try it), skim milk and even with my trusted Bolthouse Farms Chocolate Protein smoothie. The latter is what it was almost undetectable in. Skim milk to me was the best if you're going for as little additional ingredients as possible. I hate bananas, but I tolerate them for the potassium and such, so I put half in with 6 ounces skim milk, a healthy tablespoon of chia seeds, a small splash of vanilla, one teaspoon raw cacao and drank that. No you don't taste a milkshake. Anyone saying that is better than me, but it is palatable. I have another protein from Garden of Life (Lightly Sweet, the only one with just cane sugar), and it's got a lot more vitamins and minerals, but it tastes green. I use raw cacao, a tiny bit of cane sugar and fifty fifty water and skim milk in that too similar effect. The Bolthouse Farms Chocolate Protein is good in place of the milk here. Either way, if you can afford the price of this brand, give it a go. I think you'll be satisfied with your purchase so long as you don't mind using an actual blender. I believe every review here that says it doesn't blend well by just shaking.

Company emailed me third party testing results. Lead from the sample was 0.002 ppm which is equal to 2 ppb. Limit for dry infant cereal is 20 ppb so this whey is very safe. Lead is found in soil so the soil where the grass grows is good. I switched to this after finding out that the naked one was dangerously high in lead. Just email the company and they will send you test results. BTW I stopped eating 85 percent chocolate bars because they have very high lead and i felt myself getting stupider with every bite.

Y’all!!!! This is the ONE! It’s so hard to find a protein shake that doesn’t kick you in the teeth with sweetness or that weird “protein” after taste. This one is smooth with a hint of sweetness. I will say the serving size says two scoops for 30g but I measured mine with a scale and one scoop was right at 30g, so they’re a little off on that. I do pack my scoops though, so I guess it’s best to weigh it out. Either way, 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
