Primal Kitchen Primal Fuel Chocolate Coconut Whey Protein Powder, Gluten and Soy Free, 1.94 Pounds

I usually get the vanilla and was hesitant to try the chocolate. I will use it in shakes, in coffee, on its own either almond milk, and it always tastes great. You can taste some of the coconut, but it’s ever so slight and not at all dominant. I like the healthy dose of fats included, since I never seem to get enough. It’s slightly sweet (like cuts the bitterness of coffee) without being overwhelming and with no added sugar. It blends smoothly in cold and hot liquids, without a lot of stirring or shaking required. It’s not at all gritty like some powders I’ve tried. I’m a big fan!!

I've tried many protein shakes over the past 15 years and this is by far my favorite! I mix it in my Vitamix with water on low for a minute to get the powder fully dissolved. Then I add some ice and turn it on high. It truly is creamy and delicious. Two caveats: I love coconut and this does have a coconut flavor, so that is a plus for me, might not be for everyone. I use stevia in my coffee, so I don't notice a stevia aftertaste with this. If you don't like coconut or stevia this may not be your favorite. So many shakes I have tried need milk to make it good, not this one! Very creamy when blended in vitamix. Many I've tried are gritty to varying degrees. As I mixed it, it is not even remotely gritty or lumpy. When I'm on the go I've also used a blender bottle with the metal whisk ball in it. That does a good job too. Many shakes leave me hungry after an hour or two, but in all fairness they are fat free or very low fat. The coconut milk fat in this sustains me until lunch. This is the only protein shake that I feel is a true treat for me! Highly recommend!

Love this. No nasty aftertaste from the protien.

My biggest concern is that the container isn’t completely filled. The picture I added was immediately after opening, the canister wasn’t filled to the top. I’m sure I’ll still get the labeled amount of servings (I will be counting) but for now it’s kind of disappointing to buy a product and have it come 3/4 of the way full. This is decent tasting, it won’t make you gag, but I’d be hard pressed to say its delicious. But that’s really not an issue since I use this as a supplement not as a replacement for food AND it fits in with my paleo/primal food plan.

I had been buying this for my morning protein shakes for about 6 months before they changed the formula. It was great! Smooth and tasty and dissolved perfectly in almond milk. I felt full all morning and liked the recyclable packaging. When my latest tub arrived in April, I contacted customer service because it was inedible. I thought I had gotten a bad batch or it was a mistake. There were white chunks that didn't dissolve and made it disgusting to drink. Customer service said this was not a mistake, this was their new formula, and recommended putting the powder in a food processor to break up the chunks. Not wanting to waste my money, I put some in my Magic Bullet blender since I don't own a food processor to try to break down those rock-hard chunks so I could at least use what I'd bought. It didn't make one bit of difference. This company has ruined what was used to be a great product and lost my business.

I just recently purchased both flavors and have started with chocolate. This is the best I have ever tasted in my life. It is light, not gritty, no weird tastes (I love healthy and eat organic but don't like yukky tasting shakes) with low carbs and good protein amount. I add chia seeds, ice cubes and collagen for a really healthy drink what is also extremely delicious. It may have stevia but it tastes like sugar to me. I normally do not like whey and yet I love this. I plan to buy some organic peaches, freeze them, and add to the vanilla. I purchased two containers at $37.95 and the next day it went up to $47.95. I was not happy about that.

Had my first shake this morning. I mixed 2 scoops with 1 cup of almond milk, 10 coffee ice cubes and 1-2 inch piece of frozen banana. The shake was very filling- no obtrusive after taste and a super whipped creamy texture-- with the other ingredients added in it. I also tasted the product with just unsweetened almond milk and the primal fuel-- it also tasted very good--but felt a bit on the light side/texture wise. I mixed it in the blender. I've been doing a lot of fruit smoothies but wanted to cut down on the sugar factor so I thought I'd try this product. $6+ product at Jamba--- versus $2.10/2 scoop serving of this with $.75/serving almond milk, piece of banana $.50... approx total $3.50 for the meal. Pretty good trade off. Hopefully it will give me the energy I need to get me through most of my day.

Primal has become my go to for protein powders since there are SO MANY that have sucralose in them that I just cannot handle. The chocolate has a great flavor and blends well in smoothies and high protein ice cream. I recommend this product and will purchase again.

Great taste, clean protein!

You have to like the taste of coconut, delicious!

Good and not too sweet! Not too thick\ Great!
