I happened to catch a CRAZY :eek: deal on the 8lb bag of the Double Rich Chocolate
a couple of weeks ago so I pulled the trigger on it because I am a huge fan of choc
so I said what the hell and I snatched up 16lbs!
The other flavor was vanilla but I figured since I'm more of a choc fan I'd go all out
with the choc BUT had it been van funnel cake then I wouldn't have hesitated and
I would have grabbed 16lbs of that flavor.;)

Ingredients
Premium Protein Blend (Whey Peptides, Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate 97%), Whey Protein Concentrate, Cocoa (processed with Alkali), Soy Lecithin, Salt, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Gum Blend (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan, Dextrose), Silicon Dioxide, Acesulfame-Potassium, Sucralose.
Ingredient profile- 9/10- It's a pretty solid profile but the only thing that raises a question to
me is that on the container it states that the primary source of protein used is isolates and
peptides but the cholesterol amount per serving is 65mg and from my experience with proteins
that seems a bit high if isolates are the primary source.
If you look at other brands such as Universal Animal Whey and Cellucor Whey they claim
high amount of isolates used and their cholesterol numbers prove it by being 35mg or less.
I mentioned the same thing when I did a review for the Funnel Cake and honestly if MT is
gonna claim higher amounts of isolates used then their cholesterol levels should be in the
same amounts that the other two companies I mentioned are in. Other than that the profile
and protein amount per scoop is pretty solid.
Mixability-9/10- I've mixed over a dozen shakes so far using this protein and I use a shaker
cup water and each time it mixes the same with a head of foam. The foam settles a bit
but not completely but the foam doesn't take away from the flavor. I noticed no clumping
and really no floaters so other than the foam it mixed well.
I drink all my shakes in water but I tested this protein out twice in unsweetened almond
milk and the protein mixed up very well but with much less foam so if your a milk drinker
with your protein then you'll probably notice a lot less foam as opposed to just water.
Taste- 7.5/10- The name of this flavor is DOUBLE RICH CHOCOLATE but after really testing
this flavor out many ways I must say the name is definitely an over exaggeration. The flavor
comes through at first very creamy as if your drinking a vanilla flavored protein then you get
that coco flavor which is more on the dark side and not milk chocolate.
I personally LOVE dark bitter choc and I like the idea of this flavor not being a milk choc
but the flavor is much too weak.I don't understand why they choose to call this double rich
because it's not that at all and it should be called creamy chocolate.
There is honestly nothing bad about the flavor and it's not bitter or it has no funny after
taste it just needs to be stronger. I've mixed this protein with cottage cheese and yogurt
and the flavor pretty much gets lost and it's barely noticeable. This is pretty much how I
consume most of my protein and usually I only need to add 1/2 scoop of whatever protein
I'm using to cottage cheese and yogurt and that does the job of really flavoring it up but
with this Double Rich Choc I found that I needed to add a full scoop just to get any real
flavor from it.
I've also tried this flavor in overnight proats and the oat flavor comes through a bit
stronger than the choc which doesn't happen usually with any of the other choc whey's
that I've used in the past so again this flavor is a bit weak.
Overall- 8/10- This is NOT a bad protein at all but if your looking at this Double Rich Choc
and your a choc fanatic like me I would suggest trying a different brand when it comes
to choc such as Cellucor Choc Molten, MY Protein Choc Brownie Batter, Animal Whey Choc
or Dymatize Choc Brownie but if you looking MT NitroTech Whey Gold then do yourself and
your taste buds a favor and grab the Funnel Cake flavor because it is one of the BEST and
most unique flavors to come out in the past year.
If you can catch the Double Rich Choc on a crazy deal like I did then by all means pull the
trigger cause as I mentioned there is nothing wrong with the flavor but it's just not strong
enough to be call Double Rich.
