Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate Protein Shake, 35g Complete Protein, Ready to Drink and Keto-Friendly, Excellent Source of Calcium, 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

Absolutely the BEST protein shake in existence! I've tried them all, and 99% suffer from the same problem—unpleasant taste, even a little: chalky taste, bitter taste, chemical taste, etc. These Pure Protein ones do not. At all. The "frosty chocolate" flavor ones I get are the absolute best of all the flavor varieties, and there is not one bit of an aftertaste or anything other than rich, sweet, delicious chocolate taste. Trust me on this; you'll love them! The other major reason I give these a 5-star review is because they have 35g of protein, more than any other protein drink of the same size. Most 12-oz or even 16-oz protein drinks range from 10 to 28g of protein, give or take. Not these—they're a nice, healthful 35g of protein, which is why they make excellent outright meal replacements & not just supplements like a snack or similar. I have been ordering these for over 6 years, at least, and love them! You will too. They're perfect as that protein boosting drink, or you can even use them as a meal replacement. UPDATED FEBRUARY 2023 I used to get this via monthly Subscribe and Save for around $22 to $28 per 12-pack. However, around late summer/early fall 2022, Amazon removed this product from its Subscribe and Save program. The sole reason for this action was due to the price of a 12-pack skyrocketing to just under 50 bucks! To say I was shell-shocked would be an understatement. As a result, I no longer purchase this product from Amazon, which really disappoints me, because as I've stated earlier, this is the best-tasting protein shake out there AND the one with the highest amount of protein at 35 grams. Why its price literally doubled here on Amazon is baffling. Because of that, I have had to purchase it elsewhere. It's still expensive where I now buy it, but it's at least less than Amazon's cost. UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2023 Within the last month, the price of this 12-pack has increased THREE times, skyrocketing to its current $95. It went from $78 to $89 to its current price on Aug. 2nd of $95, all in the last 4 weeks alone. That's absolutely insane! Factor in the sales tax, and who the heck is going to pay a hundred bucks for a 12-pack of protein shakes? I'm tempted to order the 12-pack of similar protein shakes advertised here and fortunately made by the same company, Pure Protein, to see how THOSE taste. Those come in the cardboard or paper-based, individual containers and are advertised here in a "rich chocolate" flavor option. Granted, they contain 14% less protein (30g compared to 35g) than the ones in the cans here, but that shouldn't be a major issue.

I recently purchased these Pure Protein 35 milligram shakes in the frosty chocolate flavor. I replaced a morning coffee and bagel with this shake and have noticed a resulting weight loss. The flavor is fairly good, as is the consistency. My only issue with these shakes is the added strength that they've given me. It's superhuman, really. I was at the gym doing my normal set of weight lifting when I somehow managed to lift triple my normal weight. My personal trainer was shocked. I attempted to lift the weights with my normal stance, and when they were so much lighter I mistakenly threw them up at the ceiling, damaging several ceiling tiles and knocking a light fixture loose from the wall. Wires were dangling everywhere. It was like a scene from a movie. “Whoa!” my personal trainer exclaimed. “Where the heck did you get all that strength from?!” “I… I don’t know,” I stammered. “I just had a new protein shake this morning. That’s the only thing I did differently. Wait a minute… The protein shakes! What’s in those things?!” The answer is that the Pure Protein shakes have 35 milligrams of protein as well as 80% of your daily calcium intake. They also contain some iron and potassium. “I’ve been a trainer for 20 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” my personal trainer remarked with her eyes widened. “We need to go on the road with this! We’ll enter you in every strongman contest there is. We’ll be rich! Filthy rich!” “That’s the best idea I’ve ever heard!” I exclaimed. What will I call myself?” I asked her. “Why, Pure Protein Princess!” she replied. “I love it. Let’s talk and iron out all the details,” I responded. By this time a crowd had gathered around to watch my superhuman feats of strength. They all watched as my personal trainer added more and more weights, and I was able to lift them every time. “Oohs” and “aahs” were heard coming from the captivated crowd. People kept asking how this was possible, and my only answer was Pure Protein shakes! People started going on their smartphones and ordering shakes by the case. Within minutes, the site was sold out of every case! Pure Protein should give me stock in these things! Needless to say, I learned my lesson and only drink half a can at a time now. Although superhuman strength is appealing and all, I want to actually put the work in at the gym to lose weight and tone my muscles.

I tried these but I think I prefer bottles or something better. These are very convenient, however, they have a slight metallic taste from the can (which I think is common for most things in cans or metal, so no big deal imo). Also, this SPRAYS a lot when I open it. Every single can I have opened has sprayed me or my surroundings. The whole point was that I wanted to take this to work, or on the go, and I was kind of embarrassed to open and drink this since it just sprays/spits on me. the flavor is fine, the value is fine. But I am realizing I am disliking canned drinks as a whole and I am preferring bottled drinks (sodas, waters, protein shakes) because they're resealable and better for travel and tend to spray less, and no slight metallic taste. If you like canned drinks and shakes, then these are for you! But if you think you already like bottled protein drinks, then stick with the bottles and pass on these.

This has a good protein to carb ratio (35 grams of protein to only 5 grams of carbs, two of which are from fiber), so if you are doing a low-carb or keto diet, it is great for that. The flavor is okay, but the stuff does settle at the bottom of the cans, so you definitely want to shake it up before you put the cans in the fridge and a few minutes before you drink it. It is not carbonated so it will not spray all over the place if you shake it before you open it, but if you do try to open the can right after shaking it, a bit may spray out the top so you want to do it over a sink. But, if you shake it and let it sit for a minute or two, that will not be an issue. I definitely recommend drinking it cold, because it tastes much better cold than it does warm.

I used to buy muscle milk pro by the case before recently finding these. The muscle milk has 40g protein at 200 calories per bottle. This Pure Protein is 35g protein at 170 calories. Pretty much even on the protein/calories ratio. However. The price of a case of muscle milk pro on Amazon seems to fluctuate drastically. I’ve paid anywhere from $30 per case to $45 per case. And sometimes they only have it from “other” suppliers at over $100 per case ! No thankya One case of PP runs about $22. Each case has 35x12 = 420g protein. That comes out to 5.2 cents per gram of protein. One case of MM runs about $39 right now for cookies and cream, the lowest price flavor. That’s 40x12 = 480g protein, so you are paying 8.1 cents per gram of protein. I’d say the MM tastes only slightly better. It’s sweeter for sure. The PP is just a tad chalky. But for slamming down after you leave the gym, these are the best bang for your buck right now.

I have ordered this product on many occasions and everything was o.k. This time, I opened up the package the a mess. A can had leaked and had to be thrown out. I went on to have a few and they were fine. Then I had one that felt like it had a foriegn substance like sand and dirt when I had finished about 2/3 of the can. It was really unpleasant and just gross. It also left a terrible wretched taste in my mouth that I could not get rid of for hours and it felt like I had sand stuck in my mouth and teeth. I had another one a couple of days later and had the same experience!!!!! So that makes at least 3 cans out of 12 that were not usable! There was another leaky can, I think, but am not sure, so I will stay with 3 unusable cans. That is 25% defective and unusable product. For the very high price of these, that is totally unacceptable. I cannot find a way to communicate this issue directly to let them know that I want a refund. That is very frustrating. The only option seems to be to request refund and send product back. Well, most of the product is gone, so what can I send back. I did drink some of the product. I tossed the damaged ones because this product will spoil and will smell disgusting. I wonder if other cans were also bad . I usually sip them and them put them in the fridge for a while and then I usually end of throwing them out before I finish them, so perhaps I missed the disgusting last 25-30% of the can. I am going to try other ways of contactng seller for refund, but buyer beware that you might get a good can and you might get one that is defective or spoiled or something. Ughhh, I feel like puking...this taste won't go away.

I've been subscribed (regular deliveries from amazon) to this product for a few months. Usually, the cans would come with some dried product on the outside, indicating that some other cans had ruptured somewhere in the supply chain. It was a bit annoying but could be washed off easily enough. The cans themselves would be overpresurized. Opening them, they would spray the product out a bit, as if carbonated (but of course, they aren't carbonated). A bit annoying but not a big deal. The deal breaker for me was when I got cans that had ruptured (presumably a combination of the overpresurization and rough shipment). The rupture was small enough that I didn't notice until I had already opened it and took a sip. The product had gone bad and I threw up. I couldn't tell from the smell when I opened the can, but when I poured it out, it had basically turned into curds at the bottom. There are some serious quality control issues going on here, which is a shame because the product would otherwise be excellent.

I am anemic in multiple ways and have Iron, B-vitamin, and protein deficiencies. I also am not able to tolerate large amounts of sugar. I also do not really enjoy breakfast in the mornings preferring breakfast foods in the evening. However, I know that having some nutrition in the morning is beneficial and a good way to start digestion and get the internal organs fired up as well as providing energy. These Pure Protein drinks really hit the spot. I have tried Banana, Strawberry, and Chocolate. Of the three, chocolate is most definitively my favorite. I did not care for the Banana and Strawberry, but find the Chocolate Pure Protein Shake to be quite good. The protein drinks are best when served very cold. Additionally, they are not high in carbs or sugar while providing a significant amount of protein. I have the chocolate on Subscribe and Save and keep them in the fridge so that they are readily available. I usually find that I drink them on the way to work each day.

I like them bust the ret of the family thinks there’s no after taste

Average taste, a bit chalky. Several cans had small dents.
