I have been buying protein powder for many years and thought I finally found the best product by far with the Solimo brand, but they stopped making it in the 5lb tub so I thought I would try this. I won’t be trying it again. Why? First, the container is only 2/3 full, but since I don’t have a food scale, I have to trust that it contains the weight on the label. Second, you’ll have more success getting sand to dissolve than this stuff – I just don’t get how folks claim it does other than never using a product that really does. I’ve posted photos of what it looks like after a minute of vigorous stirring and of what’s left in the glass after you drink it. Third, while the flavor is ok, it leaves you with that bitter aftertaste from the artificial sweetener, they simply use too much of it. I’m sitting here 15 minutes after I drank it and I still have that taste in my mouth-yuck!

I started using this for a protein boost. The flavor is a rich chocolate with none of that grainy texture. I will definitely keep this product as my go to protein boost!

If you need to get a cheaper protein for like a month or so, i would say yes. Not recommended for extended periods nor permanent. It will do the job for you like a quickly fix, but it is sweet and quality is not great. For the money you are paying, it is in fact a good protein powder so, if we are talking about money, you should definitely give a try.

It’s a big jug but only half filled. Still tastes really good and has everything I want for before, during and after workouts.

This tates so great. I love how well xtend products dissolve. If you have any issues with this dissolving, I would recommend getting a cheap milk frother. Just hold it at the bottom on your milk so it doesnt froth and it will help mix all of the remaining clumps out.

By far one of the best protein powders ive ever tasted. I am very picky when it comes to protein powders and this one is truly amazing. The taste and the consistency is amazing and i find that it really helps with my muscle. Will definitely buy this again

Mixes great and tastes great with just water. I really love this flavor and prefer it over every other brand I have tried in a chocolate flavor.

This is the protein that science would have you believe to take for muscle growth. Whey Isolate, BCAA, etc are all in this protein and it’s NSF certified all for a good price.
So, not much to rate here other than the taste. And the taste is pretty good. It is a sweeter than I would like it to be granted it only has 1 gram of sugar but because it’s sweetened with Sucralose you get that over sweetness taste.
Other than that this is a good protein to price ratio to consume.

This is one of the best-tasting proteins I’ve ever bought. I blended one scoop of the chocolate lava cake flavor with 1/2 of a frozen banana, 1T peanut butter, 8oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk, some ice, and a little bit of water and it’s very good. I don’t think it tastes like a protein shake (although it’s not quite a milkshake either). It’s very sweet so I may add more water going forward, but I like my shakes to be a little thinner anyway (think somewhere between slim fast and a milkshake).
I can’t speak for whether or not it upsets my stomach yet, so if I have problems with that as I drink more I will update my review.
So far, for the money (approx 70 cents per scoop at the larger size) it seems like this is a really good deal. That’s much better than I do at GNC.

This is one of my absolute favorite proteins. For awhile I was using Progenex protein powder and recovery & even though I loved it – it was definitely a little pricey compared to other protein powders out there. That being said, I still have some progenex left and the other day I had to take some after my work out because I ran out of my Xtend protein powder before I remembered to order more and I prefer Xtend’s chocolate lava taste far more than Progenex Belgian-Chocolate.
There are a lot of reviews on here about how it’s very thick, I just add a little more water than they recommend if I feel like it is too thick, but it’s not to the point where it’s unbearable to drink. I love that there are BCAA’s in it, and 25G of protein. I’ve been using this protein powder for almost 6 months now and I still love it.
I drink mine with water. I’ve tried it with unsweetened almondmilk which is still good, but I’m always on the go after my work outs so water works just fine for me and it tastes delicious.

Chocolate lava tastes like chocolate milk! This is the only protein shake I can actually drink without holding my nose or gagging from the taste. I have ordered this twice now and will continue to purchase. The only complaint is the canister size. It looks like you are getting more than you actually are. When you open the container it’s only half full so that’s disappointing.

My workouts tend to be very intense (Crossfit) and I was looking for a protein and BCAA blend that tasted good, blended well, and helped speed up my recovery process. I had seen a few promotions on Instagram by Crossfit athletes and thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did!
There has been a noticeable difference in my recovery time, which I have been excited about. This is a quality product and it does not break the bank, compared to other high end protein blends. I highly recommend giving this product a try.

I usually use a flavor-free whey powder for my protein shakes. But I received free sample of this chocolate lava cake flavor and it was delicious.
Jorge –
You need to work on the flavoring of this one. Leaves a strange after taste.
Shelli Anstine –
I love this protein powder! It mixes so well in Greek yogurt, water, pancakes whatever you mix it in you wont be disappointed. I’ve tried so many brands of protein powder and they always seem to clump up, or taste grainy and I haven’t really found one I love, hence why i’m always trying a different one, but I will not buy anything else! This stuff is so yummy!
Sabrina Simpson –
I started a low carb diet, but I couldn’t say goodbye to chocolate. This protein powder has 2 net carbs per serving and is absolutely delicious.
JPax –
I like that this contains BCAA’s and a good amount of whey protien, but it doesn’t taste very good. It is incredibly sweet and very artificial tasting. It is hard for me to stomach a 8 oz glass because of the taste.
Jayehawk –
I received a sample of this in the mail. After having that one protein shake I was hooked. This is the only brand I will buy. Great flavor. Mixes easily. No chalky texture. YUM and YUM.
Kari M Overheim –
Delicious! Rich, not chalky at all. Mixes well with just water. Will continue to buy
Collin –
Great flavor
