Ascent100% Whey Protein Powder - Post Workout Whey Protein Isolate, Zero Artificial Flavors & Sweeteners, Gluten Free, 5.5g BCAA, 2.6g Leucine, Essential Amino Acids, Chocolate 2 lb

This is a great tasting (vanilla) easy to mix, dose of protein that seems to have improved every muscle in my body. I’m an older man and lost a lot of muscle. Before I started this, I could barely feel muscles when I flexed. It was mostly squishy. Within a couple of weeks I noticed a big difference. I’m not ripped, don’t get me wrong but it’s a big, noticeable difference so yes, it’s effective. I must have been deficient in protein. I will be purchasing more of this and use it regularly. BTW, I don’t like anything with an aftertaste. This product doesn’t have that, it just tastes really good. I use 4-5 oz of water, I tried 8 but prefer it a little creamier.

I love this protein! The chocolate flavor is delicious and not too sweet. It blends easily and doesn’t upset my stomach. I like that it has no artificial ingredients and helps with recovery. Definitely one of the best I’ve tried!

This is a great product. Tastes good and mixes well in a smoothie, coffee, or water. However, I would not buy it from Amazon because it’s over priced (74.99). You can get the same 4lb bag at Costco for 54.99 regular price and sometimes on sale there for even less.

Ascent vanilla seems to be a very good protein. Mixed my first with 8oz water, will be trying with less water next dose. Also plan to use with a "triple zero" style yogurt (fun fact: great value low fat Greek is exactly the same as oikos) for a 40g+ protein snack. No funny aftertaste either and has a lot of versatility with its mild vanilla flavor

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.

We've tried a lot of protein powder (my husband is a gym junkie), and I have to day this is one of our favorites. It's on the more affordable end for protein powder, but also doesn't taste cheap. It's been fine on my gut, which tends to feel not so great on certain protein powders. I like mixing it in with Greek yogurt, or with hot milk or water like hot chocolate. It's one of our staples.

Love the dose of protein in this as well as the flavor. I like that there are not many ingredients except the protein powder. I typically throw it in at the end of blending up fruits and veggies in the Vitamix. If you throw it in early, it definitely will froth a bit too much for my liking.

This protein powder is amazing. At first I would just mix it with almond milk and the taste was pretty good but I could kind of taste the stevia. Now I blend it with frozen bananas and almond milk and it is SO GOOD. It seriously tastes like ice cream and I love it. It’s my first protein powder as I’m new to working out, and it keeps me feeling full and my muscles are growing so I would assume it’s helping with that as well. The ingredients seem pretty good compared to other protein powders which have less protein and more sugar. I love the mocha cold brew flavor (not a super strong coffee taste though)
