Sports Research Whey Protein - Sports Nutrition Whey Isolate Protein Powder for Lean Muscle Building & Workout Recovery - 5 lb Bag Bulk Protein Powder 25g per Serving - Dutch Chocolate, 56 Servings

Very pleased with product: packaging, taste, blend ability and - the type of protein used.

It’s a great tasting and overall product. You can feel the difference if taken consistently and working out. The only downside is the cost compared with similar products, but can’t beat the taste or quality.

Blends well, tastes great, and I feel like it's helped my hypertrophy goals.

This is the first time I’ve tried this powder as I’ve been looking for one I like at a reasonable cost with good protein:calorie ratio. With protein being about 4cal/g, that means this is around 67% calories from protein per scoop (100/150). Much of the extra calories come from the added MCTs since fats are close to 9cal/g, but in the limited research I’ve read, the benefits of MCTs are unclear. That said, this powder is DEFINITELY rich chocolate—it mixes thick in milk (which I then pour coffee into), almost like a shake, and is about as sweet as hot chocolate made by dissolving a chocolate bar instead of using powdered mix. The flavor is good, but many will definitely find it too sweet. I use a handheld milk frother to mix mine and very rarely have any clumps unless the whole scoop dives in at one time: it is a LARGE scoop at 106cc and even my frother struggles to mix it all at once. I’ve included a comparison pic to Rival Whey’s scoop (67cc) and Optimum Nutrition Whey Isolate’s scoop (70cc) for reference.I really like the fact that this brand is transparent about being third party-tested through the Informed Sport process and it is displayed prominently on the packaging. Not every company does this step so it gives peace of mind that what is on the label is in the product: so many companies skip the is step because of costs, or if they do test, they’re secretive about who does the testing, what they test for, and what the results are and that makes me wonder if the contents actually match what’s on the label (studies have shown that some powders contain less than HALF of the claimed protein amounts). That’s not the case here, so even if this isn’t the BEST protein, the cost is reasonable (~$1 per serving when I bought it) and I definitely feel like I can trust what is in it. Honestly, the testing is why I rated it 4 stars instead of 3, because it was a little bit too sweet for me (though perfectly drinkable) and the MCTs probably contributed to the “bubble gut belches” I experienced for about 10 minutes after drinking it if I wasn’t drinking it in my coffee throughout the morning.I may buy it again in the future, but for now I’m sticking to isolates with better than 80% of their calories coming from protein.

It has a good chocolate flavor, not bitter or chalky. Good macros and quality, digestibility. No bad bathroom breaks, thumbs up.

My boys have a protein shake every morning. As do 2 of my daughters. They say this stuff is amazing. We have tried so many other kinds. This is by far their favorite. They say it is delicious!

Tastes really good and I was surprised at the size of the bag you get!! It’s very large lasts a month and I’m a big guy usually do two shakes a day. Very happy with this purchase

As another reviewer noted, mixes easily with water without clumping. I appreciate the added amino acids, including L-Leucine which decreases appetite, potassium, iron, calcium and Vit D3. The Dutch Chocolate flavor is delicious. I like the sturdy packaging that eliminates the problem of disposing heavy duty gallon size plastic jars in which other protein products I've tried are shipped. This gluten free product has no carageenan seaweed thickener/emulsifier/preservative that irritates my digestive tract. 60 scoops per bag. I'm blending 1 scoop with 12 oz water, 2 T whipping cream, and 4 ice cubes. 16 fats, 4 net carbs, 25 prot. An affordable, easily stored, long-lived addition to food storage supplies.
