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, 60 Servings

This is a good protein. They taste is great and it mixes well in water. The $30 price fluctuations occurring in 2025 are incredibly frustrating and leading me to try other protein powders when the 5lb bag is over $60.

Great protein powder with quality ingredients without any added junk.Tastes great and dissolves easily.I highly recommend it.

Best Chocolate tasting Protein powder I have ever had. I drink this protein every day. when i cant find it on sale i mix this protein with other ISO proteins to improve the taste of the other brands.

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.

Great protein, dissolves easy without clumps and tastes great !

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

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

Love the flavor and it doesn’t come out chalky! My husband likes to use it every so often as well!
