Olympian Labs Beef Protein Isolate Powder, 24g Protein, BST Free, 2 Grams BCAA's, Muscle Building Amino Acids, 1 Pound, Flavored with Real Chocolate

I gradually became allergic to dairy over the last couple of years and had to stop using whey protein. This is now my go-to protein. The taste is decent, yes it's just a touch "beefy," but mostly tastes like cocoa powder. You have to mix it well by shaking (kind of a lot, with an agitator ball in your blender cup), and it mixes best when warm. Directly with ice, it will be clumpy. So I generally shake it up hard in my cup with room temperature water, with the wire blender ball in it, then I add some ice. Interestingly, you can shake it and put it in the fridge and come back, and it will have dissolved in a kind of creamy way. Most importantly--zero stomach issues. Less than I had with whey, even when I could take dairy. And much much better than plant-based proteins I've tried and egg white protein (which destroyed me). So now I take this every day without issues, I'm glad I found it.

I got this because I figured the animal protein would be better used by my body than just plant protein. I would say it is "good enough for government work"! It doesn't taste great by itself. I mix it with chocolate orgain plant protein powder and peanut butter protein powder and my drink then tastes pretty good! I am happy this wasn't too expensive as we are on a budget. There are a few clumps that dont mix but I scoop those flew up with a spoon and just eat it so I dont miss out on the protein. I've never been a premadonna when it comes to food or flavor, so as long as you're not a whimp about it, its ok!

This is the only time I've ever reviewed an item with no promptings or email requests from sellers. That's how impressed I am with this. This tastes so friggin' good!! Some time ago I developed an obssession with a certain fast food joint's chocolate milk shakes and it started to worry me. The cost for one but also the nutritional aspect. I had no idea what I was really drinking when it came to the ingredients. One day I randomly came across a guy on youtube who talked about how this protein drink was the only protein drink product he knew of that he could fully support due to the ingredients. Just for s***s and giggles I bought 2 since the price was right. As soon as I opened one, I immediately noticed that they sell by weight and not volume. These are only half full! That pissed me off quite a bit. I don't know much about shipping stuff so that was news to me...it might not be for you but FYI. I then blended a scoop with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla flavored milk and took a sip. Holy !@#^$ cow!!! (no pun intended). Since then I have become hooked to this cause it's that good! I've also tried this with Blue Diamonds Original milk and still tasted good but slightly less sweet (obviously). No more chocolate shakes that are incredibly bad for me. No more guilt when I succumb to temptation while trying to take care of myself. No more looking for the next best protein drink product in the "health" industry. I'm sticking with this item and when able am going to buy more. The half full container still irks me but the taste is too distracting for me to care long term. Eventually I will probably add comfrey to make this even healthier! I've added cacao powder to give it a stronger chocolate taste and to make it healthier and it's friggin' awesome! One thing I might also do is add 1 or 2 ice cubes to make it colder....frankly I would recommend you do the same but to each their own. A word of warning and this is purely guessing. I looked up this company's website and couldn't find this product on their site. I am thinking that they have discontinued this product which explains the relatively low price which then means that eventually these will run out. If I am right, and again I haven't bothered to verify, then you may want to hurry it up with your purchase. Final thought: the reviewer who was bashing this product is very suspect to me. I can't help but think they might be a competitor or disgruntled former employee, etc but that's just me. I checked both of my containers for a "cancer sticker" and can't find any so again, not sure why the hissy fit from that doofus. All that said, if you want a delicious and extremely healthy protein drink instead of fast food milk shakes or protein drinks that have added crap put into them which then renders them unhealthy, then buy this and buy it now!

Nutritionally, this protein powder might be great. But taste and smell wise, it is not great.

I decided to try Olympian Labs Beef Protein powder (chocolate) because I had previously used "Musclemeds Carnivor" (chocolate) which is also a beef derived protein. When I could no longer afford the Musclemeds high price for the two pound jar, I switched to less expensive whey/soy protein powders. Then along came Olympian Labs in a one pound size for less money. So I opted for it this time. Here's what I can say: 1) Olympian Labs and Musclemeds beef powders taste odd (cardboard? metallic?). Not true to their advertised flavor. I think this is precisely because the source is beef. I add flavored coffee creamer to help mask the taste. 2) Olympian Labs and Musclemeds beef powders don't dissolve completely when using a ball-whisk in a shaker cup. Again, I think this is due to the beef source. There are residual clumps. You might have better luck with a high speed electric blender. Going from beef-derived to dairy/soy-derived and then back to beef -- I think the beef is more healthful, but otherwise I see no real difference in muscular benefit. So its anybody's personal choice. As for me, I'll return to dairy/soy-derived proteins after the Olympian Labs jar is done.

Love this protein powder. No artificial - pure protein and chocolate to boot! Just wish it was more chocolately, a little weak in flavor.

容器の割に中身が少なくてびっくりした！ 笑 どこまでシェイクしてもダマが残って嫌だった！ 味は甘すぎるかな？ 肝心の性能は… ビーフプロテインはクレアチンの含有量が多いと言われてますが そのせいかな？ トレーニング前に飲んでましたが トレーニングの質は上がったかな？ 単に腹持ちが良いだけか… 取り敢えずリピはしません！ 高いし… 笑

This is the worst protein I’ve ever eaten. When you shake the protein it makes dough and can’t mixed properly.
