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.

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.

I’ve tried a handful of brands, this one is the best. Please don’t ever change the taste, quality, &price. I’ve struggled and spent so much money on trying to find a brand that checks all of the boxes. It’s very affordable. Ascent knows exactly what they are doing. It is very good quality.

Best product for pre and post workouts. Enjoy the early/on time delivery.
