Ascent Native Fuel Whey Protein Powder - Chocolate チョコレート - 4 lbs（1.8kg） 海外直送品

I'm impressed with the ingredients, both the types and quantities. Just a handful of ingredients vs. 20+ with other proteins. The product smells like cocoa, a very faint cocoa, but it just smells like a real food. As weird as it probably sounds, I like that it doesn't have sand in it, like most protein mixes. I know the sand used in other protein mixes is safe to consume, but I never really enjoyed the thought that I was drinking sand. I drink this type of stuff for sustenance, so I'm not too picky on the taste, but it actually has a decent taste. With 8 ounces of water, it's too thin to taste like much. 6 ounces of water and you can taste the chocolate a little more, it's good enough, but certainly not great. With 4 ounces of water, it just tastes like a hot chocolate drink that has cooled. This is the first protein powder I've tried where it actually tastes good with just 4 ounces of water. The less liquid I have to drink to get the protein I'm looking for, the happier I am. Others have more sugar or sugar substitute added so that it tastes better based on the 8 ounce standard. This has less sugar and so it can't support that much liquid and still taste good. I don't see it as a problem though because now it's just like a quick shot of chocolate protein and I'm good. Not some drink that I'm trying to choke down. My only complaint is the packaging. I can't stand these bags that some protein manufacturers use. Maybe it's more environmentally friendly, I don't know. I ended up pouring it into a large tupperware type container that's used for storing flour. Protein needs to be shaken up every now and then and it's risky to do so with these types of bags because they are very hard to seal. So put it in a solid contain so you can shake it up without flinging protein dust everywhere. Good stuff though. After 10 years of consuming maybe 30 different brands of protein, I think I've found a good one here.

I’d like to see the bag seal improved. About every other bag I get won’t close properly, so I have to use a clip to keep it sealed.

The protein itself is decent. The problem is seal for the bag it comes in is nearly impossible to actually seal. As you can see in the picture, the powder is stuck in the seal and will not close. This is inevitable from the moment the bag is shipped. By the time I got to the end of the 4 lb bag, it tasted stale. I would not recommend buying this protein unless you have a large airtight container you can keep it in.

Great flavor!

Great product and shipment was quick. Will order again
