tera's Simply Pure whey Protein Powder, Dark Chocolate Flavor

I hadn't exercised in years when I decided that I was going to get fit and I wanted a lifestyle change, meaning I was going to build muscle. I chose this protein powder. This was instrumental for me to successfully get into the habit of exercising.For me, working out is not always enjoyable, but drinking chocolate milk always is. So I decided that I would drink chocolate protein milk ONLY after a workout. After I perfected my recipe, I came to crave the chocolate milk so much that I would work out in order to drink it. If I didn't work hard enough, i'd deny myself the privilege of drinking chocolate milk and revert to less appealing protein sources. This encouraged me to work harder and longer to get my reward. The gratification was insane.The reward method helped me get into incredible shape and achieve my dream body. I unfortunately became extremely ill and lost a lot of weight. I was emaciated, meaning I had to focus on gaining weight and not exercise for months. I am now within a healthier weight range and am working out again. Unfortunately, I got a different whey protein on a whim and it's frankly quite disgusting so I'm finding it harder to get back in the habit. Since I used reward as a motivation to achieving results and my reward right now isn't good, I'm grudgingly finishing up that tub of protein so that I can open up my new tub of tera's and return to the proper reward system.This protein is more expensive than other wheys but the ingredients (whey concentrate, organic cocoa, organic stevia, and sunflower lecithin) are much less offensive than what other protein powders have. The whey comes from family farms with artificial hormone free, grass-fed cows. Whey is then extracted from the cheesemaking process by artisan cheesemakers. (Paraphrased from the tera's whey website) Additionally, whey concentrate is superior to whey isolate, which is whey concentrate that has been stripped of its other beneficial nutrients. Other protein powders are not likely to have even a few organic ingredients. Given the cleaner sources of the ingredients and the incredible flavor, this is a guiltless source of protein. $20 is a fine price to pay for your fitness if it consistently motivates you to work even harder.Lastly, my recipe. I do not like thick chocolate milk so it might not suit some people, but I loved it.-1 level scoop of protein-60 g milk (1/4 cup)-40 g water (fill up 1/4 cup two-thirds of the way up)

I’m glad I found this on Amazon. I used to be able to buy it in my local Kroger or Whole Foods but it looks like they don’t sell it anymore and this is a protein powder that I really like the taste of. It doesn’t have a weird after taste and you don’t have to hide the taste with fruit or juice or a sweetener. It’s good with just milk as well as in a smoothie (I also buy their bourbon vanilla and same goes for that). It’s one of the best chocolate powders I’ve had. It is costly for the size though - it’s much smaller than other canisters of protein. The shipping time was super quick! I chose standard delivery for free shipping and it came as fast as two day would - GREAT job on that part!

I used to work at a supplement store that sold dozens of protein powders, most of which were whey based. I sampled at least 10-11 brands and multiple flavors in each brand. This is unquestionably the best tasting, easiest digesting whey I have ever tried.This is also the easiest digesting and most natural whey I have found. Everyone's tastes and digestion are different, but this is the first in years that I was 100% pleased with. I will absolutely buy more and I will try the other flavor, too. This is a delicious whey (pun intended) to get more protein while dieting.I mix two scoops (1 serving) with unsweetened almond milk (8 oz) and two tablespoons PB Fit peanut butter powder. This was actually a treat to drink. I also mix it in cold water at work in a shaker cup and that works well, too.

I'm a big fan of Tera's for a lot of reasons. After 26 years of being a vegetarian (not the good kind who balances beans and stuff to get complete protein, the kind that just picks around the meat on the table and eats too much bread) I found myself critically anemic and had to go back to animal products. An animal-lover, rescuer, and conscious consumer, this was horrifying to me, and I immersed myself in finding local ranchers whose methods and product I could support. I'm super particular, but it saved my life. So getting enough protein has always been a huge issue for me and a nutritionist I really respect suggested this. I researched the crap out of it, I contacted the company, they were friendly and transparent and responsive. I tried the organic goat whey plain, and I'm obsessed. I add it to everything, particularly yogurt, and the added protein had made a tremendous overall impact in the food choices I make all day because it's more filling. My roommate rolls his eyes at most anything I consume but I got him this chocolate one and he was instantly hooked. Suddenly this mid-west farm boy who grew up on cream was making delicious pudding with almond milk and this chocolate whey powder. He won't admit it to me (!) but I notice the container is very low and I discreetly replaced it for him. It now goes into smoothies, homemade ice cream, everything. It is NOT cloyingly sweet. It's cocoa, not processed chocolate. It has a touch of stevia and I don't happen to like sweet drinks so for me I prefer the plain, but I did add to a yogurt / chia seed "pudding" one night meant for breakfast and it was a damn fine dessert. Would be good in coffee if you're one of those who put 50 things into your Starbucks types. Dissolves easily.

Tastes delicious. No whey taste to it like the other products. Love this protein!Best part is it doesn’t stink up my shaker bottle.

This product was a huge disappointment. The Stevie aftertaste was more than I expected. I wish I could return it.
