Blue Bonnet 100% Natural Whey Protein Isolate Powder, Chocolate, 1 Pound

A little background...I'm a competitive cyclist who is on a calorie-restricted diet to lose fat prior to the racing season. I was getting lots of nutrition in the form of fruit and vegetable smoothies (primarily strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas and spinach) but I didn't feel like I was getting enough protein in my diet because between the smoothies and a salad with a moderate amount of chicken on it for lunch, I was not getting the recommended 120+ grams of protein for someone with my profile. I figured supplementation with a no-nonsense protein powder was the way to go. I looked at a bunch of nutrition information and ingredients. It's amazing how many carbohydrates, saturated fat grams, and even cholesterol are in some of these protein drinks. This one has none of that. If you figure out the calories, each scoop is 95% protein calories with none of that bad stuff. They even use Stevia (IMO one of the better sweeteners health-wise) to sweeten things. I ordered the chocolate to have aside from my smoothies and I ordered the vanilla to have mixed in with my fruit/veggie smoothies (I already use Vanilla yogurt in them with Vanilla Almond Milk). I first tried the recipe for a chocolate, banana and peanut butter smoothie after a training race. Mmmm, mmm good. 1 Banana, 1 cup of vanilla almond milk, 1 tbsp of peanut butter and a scoop of the Bluebonnet Chocolate Whey Protein powder. Really good. Dump the peanut butter and you save 100 calories, but I like peanut butter and chocolate, what can I say? Whey Protein Isolate French Vanilla - 2 lbs - Powder

I love this brand and only Chocolate flavor. The original stuff, and I hope it continues the same.

Excellent taste.. I use it personally with cold almond milk and it gives me a nice chocolate milk that I actually enjoy drinking.

Let me start off by saying that besides the great benefits this protein powder has and what it's made of, I have NEVER found a good tasting protein powder until now! I'm even taking the time to write a review. I am the most picky yucky person when it comes to strange and disgusting tastes. This has been by far the best shake I've tried. It's not granny, its not too thick or too watery. It's thinner in consistency than others that I've tried but the taste of it makes everything else not matter.

My trainer recommended whey isolate powder, and I was skeptical of the taste. After reading hundreds of reviews from this product and others, I settled on Bluebonnet and couldn't be happier. It doesn't have the smell other protein powders have, it tastes very chocolate-y and it blends down really easily. I like to mix mine with almond milk and two tablespoons of PB2 (also known as peanut flour). It's a great treat after the gym. The smaller container goes quickly, so if you drink shakes daily I recommend splurging on the larger option.
