Opportuniteas Grass Fed Chocolate Whey Isolate Protein Powder – 20 g Protein, Heavy-Metal Tested, Made with Organic Cacao & Organic Cane Sugar, Non-GMO, Hormone-Free, Sourced from Ireland, 1 lb

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

I tested 4 chocolate protein shakes. All of these have real sugar, no artificial sweeteners (including the "natural" sugar replacements). I'll be testing them for: 1. dissolvability in water, 2. taste in water when warm, 3. taste in water when cold 4. ability to prep in advance RESULTS! 1. Opportuniteas Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate Chocolate 2. Hemp Yeah! Plant Protein Blend Chocolate (ORGANIC!) 3. Vega Plant-Based Protein Dark Chocolate 4. Naked Whey Chocolate 1. Opportuniteas' mix is honestly the best of the group. It tastes like Carnation Breakfast Essentials. It doesn't taste like a protein shake. It's one that I don't mind drinking and wouldn't have to screw up my courage to do so. Gluten free, non-GMO. 2. Hemp Yeah! Was honestly the most surprising result, with similar results to Opportuniteas' mix. It was more bland, and I would be reaching for something to help the taste, such as more cocoa powder or peanutbutter powder. Really great option for people who want organic, cannot drink dairy, or are vegan. It does need to be refrigerated after opening. Highest amount of fiber of the group (4g). Organic, non-GMO, vegan, made with wind-power. Most expensive per serving. 3. Vega's mix was not great. It gelled strangely and created a ball of mix suspended in the glass if you let it sit for longer than 5 minutes. Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, protein is sources from North America. 4. Naked Whey was the one I was most excited for, and most disappointed by. It doesn't come in smaller containers, and you must buy a 5lb jar to try it (expensive try). It was salty, gritty, didn't fully dissolve with hand-shaking, and foamed oddly with mixing. Has a sulfur after-taste that was just plain bad. Highest amount of protein per serving. Dairy sources from California, non-GMO, gluten-free. Cheapest per serving.

Absolutely the best protein powder on the market. I have tried so many and this one by far is the most excellent tasting. Will continue to be buying it for years.

Update: still have not been able to return any of the bad packs. I’ve probably purchased anywhere from 30 to 40 of their protein packs of chocolate. I order two packs every couple weeks-month. I do love their small ingredient list. The chocolate flavor is the best although sometimes they come and it’s almost like static like in the powder and I just opened a new one and it has a cinnamon weird taste does not taste like normal so sometimes the flavoring is not consistent and the way the protein powder looks too, overall I continue to purchase from them even though you can’t return anything (which is not good business) when you have an issue but because of the small ingredient list which is good I take the chance and order from them. I’m a frequent purchaser of their chocolate flavor which is decently good, the vanilla is not good at all, it does not shake well it’s almost foamy like and then five seconds later is very watery. And the flavor is weird almost chemically processed flavor. I do not recommend the vanilla. It’s also VERY unfortunate that you cannot return this product to Amazon and if you try to return it to this company, you have to send a message and I still have not heard back yet, that’s very unfortunate Business behavior. I highly recommend “checking the fine print first” on returns before you purchase with them. I would like to get my money back on this vanilla. There is a lot more affordable options for protein out there but I chose this one because I like their small ingredient list but to have an issue with the protein and not be able to return it with spending so much money on it does not seem right.
