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

Delicious and mixes well. Seriously the best protein I’ve ever mixed with water and I’ve tried a lot of whey protein. Excellent price per serving. $62 for 60 servings.

This is an excellent protein powder. Good flavour and mixes smoothly. It doesn't have any gelling agents, which makes it much easier to get down. Makes a fantastic milkshake, too!

I had previously purchased Sports Research Creatine, so I was curious about the protein powder offerings. This protein blends well, has a generous scoop size, and a list of clean ingredients. The dutch chocolate flavor is tasty and doesn't have an artificial aftertaste to it. There are a few cons for certain individuals. CONS: -Contains milk and tree nuts -Noticeable amount of sodium. Those with allergies or on a low sodium diet should probably opt for another product. We all know that the average consumer of protein powder has multiple servings a day, so sodium intake will be moderate to high.

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.

It’s a good chocolatey flavor. Quality of whey is also great. No complaints!

This is honestly the best tasting protein powder that I have ever had. Im also already seeing results after using it for a month. Although it mixes easier than other protein powders you still need a shaker bottle or whisk to get it to dissolve quickly.

I have been using it for a couple of weeks, in my opinion it is a very good product and tastes really good.

Good: it’s isolate and low in lactose, so it doesn’t cause a lot of gas Up front taste is pretty good Blends decently Bad: A lot of filler (36g scoop only has 25g protein) Aftertaste is chemically. I realized this is just the flavoring, but it is lingering and doesn’t taste good. No issues like this when I use ON Leaves my stomach feeling upset for a few hours after consumption. Not in a gassy way, but just something doesn’t feel quite right.
