Ascent Protein - Native Fuel Whey Powder Blend Chocolate 2 Lbs. 174584

Unfortunately my package arrived opened. The actual package was open and the powder. This is incredibly frustrating as I live in Australia and it is going to cost $40 to return to the US.

There were patches of red colour liquid stains all over the item. The red liquid is hard to wash and and has stain my hands and furniture

I've been using Ascent 100% Whey Protein Powder for a while now, and overall, I really like it. The taste is fantastic – the chocolate flavor is rich and doesn't have that artificial aftertaste you often find with other protein powders. It mixes well too, which is always a plus for a smooth shake after a workout. I appreciate that it's gluten-free and doesn't contain artificial flavors or sweeteners, aligning with my preference for cleaner ingredients. However, I was quite disappointed to discover that the chocolate flavor contains soy. As someone who tries to avoid soy in my diet, I was really hoping this product would be completely free of it, especially given the "clean" ingredient profile advertised. While it's my oversight for not checking the ingredients more thoroughly before purchasing, I wanted to highlight this for others who might also be trying to avoid soy. Especially because some of their other flavors ARE soy free. Despite the soy content in the chocolate, the quality and taste are still top-notch. If soy isn't a concern for you, I highly recommend this protein powder. If it is, you might want to explore their other flavors or carefully check the ingredient list before committing.

really good stuff. dissolves nicely in water. very little clumping and tastes good too.

Just received today and mixed with Greek yogurt to give it a try - wonderful - no fake or artificial aftertaste and love there are no artificial sweeteners. Very pleased with the taste and quality and will be ordering other flavors!
