Performance Whey Protein Blend (Chocolate)

This is a chocolate whey protein blend delivering 22 grams of protein per serving from a mix of whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate, sweetened with stevia leaf extract instead of artificial sweeteners, with Solnul resistant potato starch added as a fiber source. It's for anyone training regularly who wants a straightforward way to hit daily protein intake, post-workout or between meals. Mix one serving, two scoops, into 8 to 12 oz of cold water and shake or blend.

Whey protein isolate costs more to produce than whey concentrate because it's filtered further to strip out more fat and lactose, so a lot of "performance" blends quietly go concentrate-only and lean on the word "whey" to do the marketing. This is isolate blended with concentrate, not concentrate alone.

More on how we spec ingredients like this at the ingredient standard.

A whey isolate and concentrate blend built with Solnul and stevia instead of inulin and sucralose normally costs more than $55 once it's in a name-brand tub. Almost none of that gap is the formulation. It's retail margin, a wholesale cut for stores, a celebrity face on the label, and a warehouse of unsold stock somebody has to pay for. We sell direct and make to order.

• 22g protein per serving from an isolate and concentrate blend, not concentrate alone
• Solnul® resistant potato starch instead of gut-irritating cheap inulin
• Stevia leaf extract, no artificial sweeteners
• Pink Himalayan salt instead of plain table salt
• Rich chocolate flavor that actually mixes smooth
• Made in the USA

Add one serving, two scoops, to 8 to 12 oz (240 to 355 ml) of cold water and blend or shake thoroughly. Post-workout or between meals both work, consistency matters more than exact timing.

A common target for people training regularly is roughly 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day, though needs vary by activity level and goals. Most people can hit this through food alone, and a whey protein shake like this one is simply a convenient way to close the gap on busy days, not a requirement.

Whey isolate is filtered further than whey concentrate, which strips out more fat and lactose and pushes the protein percentage higher, and that extra filtering step is why isolate costs more to produce. Whey concentrate is less filtered and slightly cheaper, and a lot of budget blends use concentrate exclusively while still marketing themselves generically as "whey protein." This formula uses a blend of both.

Solnul is a branded resistant potato starch used as a source of dietary fiber, included here to complement the protein-forward formula. It's a different ingredient than the inulin fiber many cheaper protein powders use, which is a common cause of gas and bloating for a lot of people.

Bloating from whey protein usually comes from lactose sensitivity or from cheap fillers and fiber sources like inulin, not from the whey itself. This blend uses Solnul resistant potato starch instead of inulin for that reason, though anyone with a dairy sensitivity should still introduce any whey product gradually.
