ON vanilla whey is nutritionally superior to choc. (and a better value) --

[BuffaJoe]

Although a minnimal diffrence I thought this was interesting and worth sharing.
I just swicthed to choc. flavor and was comapring the labels.
both 5 lb jugs:

Vanilla: 80 servings, 81% "unadalturated" protein content
Choc. : 77 servings, 79% "unadalturated" protein content

Also, the choc. flavor has 1g more carbs in it.

Now, I understand the protien content could depend on the flaoring ingredience, but the servings?? both have the same net weight and serving size.

-- I guess its not a big deal, IMO the choc. tastes way better.

Oh well, the tatse of the chocolate is worth it

The reason for that is because they add cocoa powder to flavour it. Cocoa powder isn't a super-concentrated flavouring like vanilla or artificial strawberry (it's basically cocoa beans that have been roasted and stripped of their fat). This is why it takes up more volume/mass than an artificially-produced, super-concentrated vanilla flavour. What I do is I get some vanilla (or even plain), and add 1/2-1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to it myself (I also add sweetener if it's plain.) It's cheaper and more effective, as a jug cocoa is like 3$ at the store, and you don't need much of it to flavour a shake.

Try adding peppermint extract to your chocolate shakes, as well... It's heavenly!

I'm a very good cook, and I have a good knowledge on how to make shakes taste damn good. If anyone wants info, PM me and I'll try to help you.


Take care!
