EAS 100% Pure Whey Protein Powder, Chocolate, 2 lb (Packaging May Vary)

I purchased this product after drinking EAS pre-made protein shakes (yummy too and high in protein!). Prior to choosing this protein I was taking Optimum Nutritions 100% Gold Standard in a variety of chocolate based flavors. I do my typical 2 scoop shake post-workout. This protein is SO smooth and it is possible to limit the clumps to little to none, unlike ON's like I was used to. It isn't too heavy, the taste isn't bad. I can easily sip this down in a short amount of time meanwhile my old protein I would end up nursing it for a little bit due to the thickness and taste. Not to mention you don't need to mix this with a bunch of water for a smooth taste and texture, even with 2 scoops. The best part? NO DIGGING FOR THE SCOOP!! They have a little hook inside in the lid that the scoop is slid onto upon arrival, so whenever you get your scoops just slide it back onto the hook and you don't have to worry about any powder being wasted due to a mess from digging it up. This is a great protein, with a high amount of protein, for an amazing price. I was paying $50-$60 for ON's.

I put the 5lbs tub on subscription as part of my plan for weight loss surgery. I've tried these shakes from a local store before, and knew that the flavors were tolerable for me, so the cost-efficiency of the 5lbs tub on a monthly subscription is great. It guarantees that I have enough shake mix to have at least 2 shakes a day. Personally, I stick to the chocolate, because the chocolate flavor will mix well in both milk and water. Vanilla does okay in water, but it is not nearly as satisfying to my personally... I think a lot of people use a milk base anyway, but I figured I would let people know that of the two, the chocolate fairs far better for adding to ice water. I've seen others talk about the "fillers" and concerns about all that, but the fact of the matter is, for me, that even if there ARE fillers, they don't constitute enough of a carb impact to make this non-viable for a WLS plan, and these ingredients also are likely why it can mix very well in water. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it has held up... I haven't found myself tired of it yet, and am currently waiting on my 4th tub.The one thing that I'm seriously wondering about is, since they improved the formula and increased the smaller containers to 30g of protein per serving, when will the larger container contain the same formula? I realize that the 5lbs tub is probably not bought as often, and thus they are not producing it yet, but I'm sad that they also have not put it on temporary clearance so that we can catch up :( A formula that is 30g per serving would be much easier to fit into my WLS plan, the 26g set up is a little awkward for macro counting.

I purchased the 2lb jug in Chocolate. I used to get this at Wal-mart but they recently stopped selling it at the location I go to in Chicago. For the price it's a very good protein powder. The suggested serving is 2 scoops but I honestly think that's overkill especially if you only add 10 oz. of fluid. I use this more for meal replacement then a post workout. If you make it with milk it 's very filling. I can usually go 4-5 hours without getting hungry. For a post workout I'd recommend using water. It still has a great flavor. I usually add a banana and some frozen berries to bulk it up. However, the flavor is still delicious on it's own. It has a low sugar content as well which I like. Overall, very satisfied and would highly recommend.

I’m on my second tub of this EAS protein and I like it a lot. For this price, you can’t beat 2lbs of 30 grams of protein and only 5g of sugar (zero added sugar) per serving. I guess the body doesn’t necessarily care what kind or brand of protein you give it so I can’t say definitively that my body responds to this better than other protein powders. But this seems to be some good stuff.I love the vanilla flavor. Very tasty. It has a milkshake taste but with a thinner consistency and not too sweet.I recently ordered the chocolate flavor and it was almost undrinkable at first. I guess I got used it after the 3rd or 4th shake but it’s not my favorite. I added some peanut butter to make it more bearable. It has sort of a juice/candy flavored + chocolate chalky taste. Safe to say I’ll be ordering the vanilla again from now on. Other than that, this is great protein powder and my favorite brand so far.

There are definitely pros and cons to this protein powder:Pros: The price. Extremely well priced for a decent quality 100% Whey protein. This is straight ahead, no-frills muscle builder. The taste. When mixed properly, and not diluted with too much water, this has a tremendous chocolatey taste.Cons: Mixing. This stuff drives me crazy trying to mix it in a standard wire-wisk Blender Bottle. You have to shake the absolute $#@& out of it for quite a while to get it to mix reasonably well. Even after that, I still have pockets of unmixed powder, ugh. Make sure you experiment with finding the right balance of enough water to mix it properly, but not too much or you will dilute the taste down to a watery, flavorless blend.Overall, for the price I would probably buy this again and just accept the fact that I'm going to have to mix it like an absolute crazy person and still have some gross blobs of dry powder in the mix. It is an excellent quality protein for the money and definitely helps to lead you out and build muscle.

This protein powder from EAS is fantastic - not only does it taste great and is fairly inexpensive, but it also is very low in carbs and fat, while maintaining a very high protein content. This is something very hard to find in a protein powder. To make my Chocolate Protein Shake, I use 2 Scoops of EAS Chocolate Whey powder, 1-1.5 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 9oz of milk; ice is optional. I find that the extra milk and especially the cocoa powder really adds to the flavor - the cocoa makes it nice and chocolaty, and is very low in calories. With this recipe, I find that the shake legitimately tastes like a chocolate milkshake; I look forwards to getting home and drinking my shake. I would highly recommend this powder from EAS; it is low carb/fat, high protein, tastes great (especially with cocoa), and is priced very reasonably!
