Chocolate flavor is disgusting - get vanilla
**Please first read my extended review on this protein powder in the Mercola Vanilla Pure Power Protein user reviews for a more complete review of this brand of whey concentrate powders.**<br /><br />This is a review specifically of the chocolate flavor of Mercola's Pure Power Protein. I raved about the vanilla flavor in my previous review (the banana was just ok), and said I would make an update when I tried chocolate. Well, I am most of the way through my tub of chocolate powder, and I detest the flavor. It's the worst chocolate-flavored protein powder I've ever tried. It has a disgusting aftertaste and really nothing about it is good. I have tried it both with skim milk and water and both ways it tastes terrible. It shocked me because the vanilla flavor is so darn good. All of the other good qualities of this protein powder still hold true, but really there is absolutely no reason to get the chocolate flavor over the superior vanilla. This is the last time I will order chocolate, and my next order will be purely vanilla.<br /><br />I'm still giving giving the chocolate flavor 2/5 stars because I still believe this is one of the best protein powders on the market, but it's clearly inferior to the vanilla flavor of the same product and you should avoid chocolate if at all possible.
