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

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.

The price is worth it !!! Do not buy any other chocolate protein powder ever again. I’m super picky — dairy and gluten free… milk proteins break me out like crazy, and plant proteins always taste like chalk… I use 1 scoop , 1.5 cups cashew or almond milk, ice, 1 date.. blend together and you have a macro friendly milkshake …. If you wanted an actual milkshake… I can only imagine what adding chocolate ice cream would do.. Might send you to Heaven tbh. It’s that good. I was skeptical at first bc they don’t offer sample packs.. I’m so glad I bought this, going to sign up for subscription. I’ve only used it twice and I already have bad acne due to AI disease. I haven’t noticed any unusual breakouts , will monitor and update

I've been trying several different types of protein recently, and have settled on this one! I just ordered it again! It's kind to my stomach and doesn't cause any inflammation. The best thing about it is the flavor, the chocolate is so rich and creamy. You can even add a scoop to a cup of hot water and it makes the most delicious protein hot chocolate! I'm a big fan!

My autoimmune issues have caused me to develop a slew of food allergies and sensitivities that I didn't have years ago, so I'm now allergic to dairy, soy, eggs, rice, and peas (among many other things), which leaves like 95% of protein powders unusable to me. I was SO happy to read about hydrolyzed beef protein recently in a Hashimoto's book.After digging around Amazon for beef protein, this fit the bill. Only a few ingredients, so it's super clean. Very chocolately, a little on the sweet side for my tastes but I can't detect the Stevia like I can in most products. I only need half a banana in my smoothie instead of a full or else it gets too sweet. It does NOT taste like beef or "animal" whatsoever, so please don't be afraid of that! I would equate the taste to whey.It doesn't blend as well as some protein powders, so that's my only gripe, but it doesn't bother me. If you're one of those folks who uses a blender bottle, you might have a harder time. But I use a Nutribullet and put tons of other things in there, so I don't care much. Overall, a solid choice and I'm really impressed.

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.

I have tried so many protein powders, but THIS is by far the best!! The best chocolate flavor. Makes the yummiest protein shakes, you don’t even have to add anything in to, it just tastes good. It’s also dairy free which I love. Easy on my stomach too!!

Tastes really delicious but not worth the fact that your stomach will hate you after consuming it. Worst gas ever!
