The Organic Protein Co. – Chocolate Organic Whey Protein Powder | Additive Free, Undenatured, Bioactive, UPF Free, Emulsifier Free, Primarily Grass Fed, Vegetarian, Gluten Free – 400g

I bought this after my usual organic protein powder company were affected by Brexit and had issues importing their European whey. This is just as good. (Note - this is also European whey but my previous go-to company was a really small independent brand and I think they just didn’t have the capacity to hit the ground running after Brexit and with the pandemic. This company seems to have had no supply chain issues).The powder is light and fluffy and isn’t flavoured. It mixes well into smoothies, giving a creamy texture without changing the favour. It’s also great for adding to porridge and yogurt for a protein packed breakfast.The company seem very responsive to feedback and as a result of what their customers have said, they don’t include a plastic scoop - cutting down on unnecessary waste and boosting their green credentials. I have a 15ml scoop that came with my previous pack from another company which I’ve kept, so I’m fine without another one, but bear this in mind if you were expecting to find one inside the packet.The protein content is just the same as my previous powder but with fewer calories. For example, I use half a scoop in my morning porridge (7.5g of powder) which is 28 calories. My previous powder would have provided 30 calories. I know this is only a small difference but over the course of a week, shaving 2 to 4 calories off each scoop of protein does add up, so I’m happy about that.Overall this is a great product and the company seem very thoughtful in terms of their approach to the environment and making the best product possible for their customers. The power is of excellent quality and you get no horrible aftertaste or odd lumpy texture. Very versatile and works brilliantly for everything I use it for. I’m looking forward to making some protein pancakes with it - it’s very easy to achieve a smooth texture with this, no lumps and bumps, so I’m sure it’ll work well.If you’re looking for a versatile powder that can easily fit into your every day diet, I’d recommend this. It’s good value for money and meets all the needs of a decent protein powder without the problems you sometimes get (weird taste, stringy or lumpy texture, hard to mix into your other ingredients). This ticks all the boxes and I like the ethos of the company in terms of the environment, their organic status and their responsiveness to customer suggestions.I was apprehensive about buying a different brand as I’m so used to my usual powder, but I shouldn’t have been and I have no reservations about recommending this to others. If you’re new to protein powders and are a bit nervous about trying this, don’t be. You won’t have any of the issues that people post about on the internet, this would be great for your first dip into world of protein powders! Highly recommended.

No bloating afterwards, and it blended easily with no clumps. It’s not sweet at all (cacao flavour) — I’d say it’s more on the bitter side, like really dark chocolate. The only downside is the price :) A bit too expensive for long-term daily use.

I mix this supplement with milk using a hand blender. I rate the taste and texture highly and am pleased with the quality of the ingredients and the company’s transparency about their sourcing. I am on my second bag at the moment.

I'm amazed so many people rate this product so highly...just because it doesn't add anything. I added this as I normally do with my protein powders to my typical morning nutriblast of banana, mango, and frozen spinach. This product made the entire shake (which usually is very tasty and enjoyable) taste like cold partially cooked beef. I forced myself to drink it to see if it got any better, but it did't. Indeed, I wished I had thrown it down the drain as it then upset my stomach and repeated on me for the next 3 hours.I'm hoping the issue was down to a bad batch... or old batch... but you have been warned. Yours too may smell like beef and taste like beef as well.In my opinion, not worth buying no matter how clean it is. Switching back to vanilla PhD whey isolate powder. Better to go with a proven provider with strict standards and testing in my honest opinion.Addendum (after reply from company reduced from 2 stars to 1) :I also complained to the company and they would not be willing in any way to offer you a refund... so be warned on that front. Indeed...they expect you to do all this just to get a replacement:"We have a strict process in place to clearly identify when buyers are unhappy with items due to personal preference or if the dissatisfaction is due to a manufacturing defect with the item.Step one• Please reply to this message with pictures of the front and back of the item• The pictures should show the barcode and best before date of the item• Please also include a short summary stating the reasons you are unhappy with your purchaseStep two• We will email the manufacturer & distributor the pictures and include your statement• We will ask them to confirm if there is a batch related issue or manufacturing defectStep three• We will reply to you with a copy of the manufacturers / distributors findings• We will replace all confirmed defective items on a like-for-like basis• We are unable to refund/replace items due to buyer personal preference"Great...yes....no thank you...I'd rather not spend the next 3 hours of my life gathering evidence for a replacement for a product that may end up being exactly the same.

My go to protein powder.. this is the only one in the market that I found without any sweeteners still low sugar. I have health issues that restrict use of sweeteners.. so this is the only option available to me atm.. I like that it is organic and traceable.. it’s slightly expensive but I am happy to pay the price for the quality and concepts as a brand.. I hear what some people say about not mixing well, but if shake it vigorously or use it in a blender it is smooth and I don’t mind if it’s a bit grainy too again looking at all the good factors it has.. please don’t change your organic simple ingredients 👌👌👌

I recommend this!! Really nice flavour - you can tell there’s nothing artificial in it just by tasting it! It tastes like rich cacao but not too rich, it’s not very sweet so I chose to add a bit of agave syrup to it as I have a bit of a sweet tooth and have been used to the artificial chocolate flavoured powders. It’s great! I mixed it with almond milk in a shaker and it blends great. I opted for this powder as I hated how all the artificial ones I tried were affecting my gut and making me bloated ALL the time, so I’m hoping this one won’t affect me! Only small downside is it doesn’t come with a scoop, luckily I already had one but just bare in mind if you don’t :)
