KOA WARRIOR Whey Protein Isolate | Performance Driven, Pure Protein Isolate with BCAAs and No Artificial Flavors or Sweeteners - Chocolate - 6lb Bag

I've bought whey isolate from these brand a few times before, and - compared to any brand I've ever tried - they're still the best tasting.They've always had a more genuine taste of chocolate compared to any brand I've tried before. This is likely because it doesn't use any extra "natural & artificial flavors" beside the cocoa powder itself, resulting in a drink that really tastes like chocolate. If there is one "potential complaint" that some may have, it's that it may taste unusual for those not used to the (natural) sweeteners, Stevia and Erythol. But aside from that, it's flawless.It mixes very easily, too. A cup of milk and a teaspoon is all you need to mix a full scoop of this powder into a drink (with little effort). No shaker required for a quick drink.From reading the other reviews, you may notice some sort of packaging issue in these bags. Good news is that it has been solved!What they did was a bit unusual: Instead of the classic air-tight seal, this bag uses some sort of plastic velcro to close it. As a result, it opens and closes very quickly and reliably! It may not be as airtight its previous version, but is comparatively indestructible.Oh, and what I think is one of the best pros of this brand:For its size and quality of ingredients, it has very good value!No BS filler ingredients like obscene amounts of added BCAAs (i.e. not naturally occurring from the whey itself), small amounts of no artificial sweeteners like sucralose, and no artificial flavors either (meaning that you get the full, real flavor of chocolate).All in all, you're getting the benefits of all of this in a drink that's only 7 cents more expensive per scoop than a Gold Standard!You may think that this all is too good to be true, but I think it's thanks to them not spending much on marketing. Optimum Nutrition, GNC, MyProtein; you may have heard these brands one way or another, and that's they spend wads of money into marketing their products. But since Koa doesn't prioritise marketing, they can spend more on the quality of the ingredients without driving their prices high.So, just because you never heard of this brand doesn't mean its bad. I myself stumbled into this brand by chance, and never regretted buying it. So trust me when I say that you will not regret trying this brand either.

The taste and mixability of this protein can not be beat. I changed from artificially flavored and sweetened protein to this and I don't regret it. The chocolate flavor is nice and mild, almost tastes like hot chocolate. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the bag is difficult to close.

Koa chocolate. The very best whey protein available. Mixes easily and thoroughly in just a little water. The best tasting chockey. Only the best sweetener, no gut problems from this one. I have tried nearly all others.

Hope Amazon restocks on this protein powder. It contains stevia, which we prefer over other artificial sweeteners.

This looks good on the surface but leaves a bad aftertaste. This is probably due to the Stevia and Erythritol they use for sweeteners. While they call these sweeteners "natural" Stevia needs to be highly chemically processed to be used and Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which is worse than sugar. They are stretching the definition of natural. For this price they should be using real organic sugar or coconut sugar.

Best protein isolate for price, number of servings , quality and nutrition. I will definitely buy again !

I am in love with this protein! I love the fact that it’s all natural and I know exactly what is in it.

The headline says it all. Surprised that the chocolate tasted great.
