Beef Protein Isolate Powder, Chocolate - Dairy Free with Natural Collagen for Keto, Paleo, Bone Broth & Low Carb Diets, 2 Pound

This is by far the best tasting protein shake I’ve had. Great chocolate flavor, and the stevia does its job to keep it keto approved. I also appreciate the type of protein and the minimal ingredient list since I do my best to stay away from highly processed foods and chemicals.I have been preparing with unsweetened hemp milk and ice in my vitamix and the texture comes out smooth. Also great with a scoop of peanut butter powder added.

This protein powder is my favorite! The chocolate is so rich and tastes good in everything. I used it in smoothies and add to my yogurt for more protein and it blends well. I don't do well with Whey so this protein powder works for me and doesn't upset my stomach. I think the company is a great one and they were super responsive when I had an issue that was not their fault.

For someone who is lactose intolerant, I love this protein. Easy on my stomach no bloating afterwards and taste great. I mix mine with a little bit of cinnamon and water. Shake it up and let it sit for about five minutes before drinking. This protein reminds me of the adaptogen beef protein that is no longer on the market.

This is my favorite chocolate protein! Mixes smoothly without clumping and no weird chalky taste. I mix it with a milk frother into hot water or milk (or peppermint tea!) for a protein hot chocolate - it's delicious! I stock up whenever it goes on sale.

I have not had a whole lot of luck being able to drink protein powders... I have issues with dairy and most protein powders are made with whey & dairy. While I recognize that there are other dairy-free protein powders out there, most are made with plant proteins (which I believe to be of lesser quality than animal proteins) and a lot of them are high in carbs, so I was pretty stoked when I found this dairy/whey free & low carb beef protein powder. I have been using the Active Stacks Chocolate protein powder for a month now, and here are the pros and cons that I have found so far.PROS1. Dairy Free: I have an allergy to dairy, it makes my eczema flare up so I avoid it as much as possible. I also cannot consume whey protein because it causes the area around my mouth to break out in acne. I have not experienced any issues with this protein powder as I have with other whey protein powders.2. Contains animal proteins: Animal protein is far superior than plant protein. Proteins from plants are less bioavailable than proteins from animals, as suggested by the Food and Agriculture Organization and United States FDA. The protein in this protein powder comes from beef and also contains collagen.3. Minimal Ingredients: I am picky about what goes into my food and I prefer the ingredient list on food products that I buy to be kept short. Other than the beef protein, there are only 2 other ingredients listed as being in the protein powder and that is Cocoa powder & stevia.4. Low Carb: There are only 2 net carbs per scoop. I can easily fit this into my daily carb allowance.CONS1. Stevia: I'm not a fan of the stevia aftertaste and as a matter of fact, this is really the only major con for me about this protein powder. I wish they would go with a more forgiving low carb sweetener like erythritol or allulose or a blend of both.2. Blendability: Not a big con, but just thought I'd throw it out there. If you are thinking you will be able to throw this in a blender bottle with cold water or milk and have it blend easily, then you're mistaken. Most of it will dissolve, but you will be left with a few chunks of unblended lumps that did not dissolve. Not a major con, since I use an immersion blender to blend it all together and it works well. It also mixes well if you're using this to make hot chocolate in a sauce pan, just use a wire whisk.In conclusion, I will likely keep buying this product because it is exactly what I have been looking for. The price is OK and comparable to another low carb protein powder that I was buying and the flavor of this protein powder is good, but I will have to learn to tolerate the stevia aftertaste for now until I can find a similar product with a different sweetener.

It is not value for the money. The texture is still clumpy and too sweet. Thought the price wood we set when I sighted up for the monthly but it went up the next month. Not worth the 2 lb. Try something worth it. Quality not worth it.

This stuff is expensive for what you get, but it tastes great and is by far the best non-whey protein I've ever tried. Since I'm sensitive to whey I'll probably continue to get this.The downside is that it does not blend easily in a shaker bottle and needs a good whisk or blender.Also the seal on mine wasn't full sealed when it arrived.

Taste is decent, especially considering how healthy & clean this stuff is and that its beef based. Use a blender/shaker style bottle. That ball will mix this stuff right up. I only have tried the chocolate and is is the version with no sugar, so I am staying with it. The bone & joint health benefits are a great bonus. I use this mostly for meal replacement my way. I will pair this with say an organic bagel/toast or just a pile of veggies, all the sudden I have a high quality, clean, beef based protein to go with it. Making it a fine quick meal, or hold over. Did I mention this is paleo friendly. My only negative to say is, at times the price is a bit too much. That would be the only reason I stopped using this product, is the price.
