Core Power High Protein (26g) Shake, Chocolate, 14 fl oz

I depend on Core Power Chocolate shakes for post-workout recovery and quick meals. The flavor is rich yet balanced, never overly sweet or bold like some brands. What stands out is the exceptionally smooth texture and its thin enough to drink easily, with zero chalky or weird aftertaste that plagues so many others. 26g of protein keeps me full without blood sugar spikes. I love the grab-and-go convenience over blending my own, and the 12-pack is great value. They’re so tasty I sometimes have two or three daily. Bonus: a dash of cinnamon takes it to another level. Solid choice.

I’m picky about vanilla. This one is completely different. It actually tastes like real vanilla cream, and it’s smooth enough that I don’t have to psych myself up before drinking it. The vanilla is clean, creamy, and not overly sweet. No weird chemical taste, no gritty powder floating around. Honestly, the texture reminds me more of a bottled vanilla latte (minus the coffee) than a protein drink. I can drink one of these for breakfast and not feel hungry again until late morning. The protein hits without weighing me down or making me feel bloated. It’s been perfect for days I’m running kids around and don’t have time to cook anything. Super convenient, no mixing, no clumps, no blender bottles to wash. I just keep a few cold in the fridge and grab one on my way out the door. They’re also shelf-stable until they’re opened, which is a lifesaver for stocking up! If you’re normally a chocolate-only person because vanilla protein drinks usually disappoint, this one might actually convert you. It’s the first vanilla shake I’ve found that tastes good and keeps me full. Definitely staying on my reorder list.

I’ve been really impressed with the Fairlife Vanilla Protein Shakes. The flavor is smooth and creamy without that chalky or overly sweet taste a lot of protein shakes have. It honestly tastes more like vanilla milk than a “protein drink,” which makes it easy to enjoy. The vanilla flavor is versatile too; it’s good on its own or blended with espresso for an iced coffee. Overall, if you’re looking for a protein shake that actually tastes good and is easy to grab on the go, this one is definitely worth it. I’ll be repurchasing!

Such a good deal. These are so expensive when you buy them in the store, but if you do subscribe and save you save so much money! These are the best when it comes to protein drinks! My daughters love them after practice. Such a good tasting protein drink. Athlete must have.

These Core Power Protein Shakes, Chocolate flavored are not only delicious but also is a good meal replacement for me. Often times, I am not able to stop and eat a fork and spoon meal at work. But I can fit in the time, to drink one of these great tasting drinks! The shakes have health benefits and 26 grams of protein to help keep me feeling fuller, longer.

A little on the pricier side for many of us, but you get what you pay for here. This is honestly the absolute best vanilla protein "shake" type of drink I've been able to find - and I've tried quite a lot of different brands. Core Power has zero aftertaste, its not chalky in the least; in fact, there's no weird tastes to it at all, just plain old fashioned vanilla - not overly sweet and not too thick, just a smooth and silky mouthfeel full of goodness. These are pretty great for diabetics - low in sugar and high protein. I usually purchase two 12 packs each month to keep on hand when I need something on the go, or when my blood sugar gets too low or just as a simple meal replacement. Only 4 stars because nothing is perfect. They could up the size to a full pint (16 oz) and keep the price the same, which I think may curb some of the complaints about cost/value.

I was honestly surprised by how good this chocolate protein shake tastes — it’s smooth, rich, and genuinely tastes like chocolate milk, not a chalky protein drink. I’ve used it in the Ninja Creami and it spins up beautifully into a creamy, dessert-like treat with no weird aftertaste. What really sold me is that even my football players will drink it after practice without complaint, which says a lot. It’s an easy way to get protein in for recovery without feeling like a “supplement.” Great flavor, great texture, and very versatile whether you drink it straight or use it frozen. Definitely a repeat buy in our house.

I have tried them all, most have that chalky taste but the Vanilla is by far my favorite. I actuallyt use half a bottle with my cereal in the morning because I know I am getting the protein with my cereal and not the sugar from regular milk. They are my go to grab and go when I am on the run and need a balanced snack/meal replacement. Buy this flavor! My second favorite is the Strawberry Banana then Chocolate flavor.
