I received A sample of this XTEND Whey isolate in the choc lava cake flavor a few days ago
with an order that I placed so I put it to the test right away and used it as my post workout
shake.

Lol me too!!!! What did you mix it with and what did you think??? You and I had the same thoughts on the cookie butter.... I will say I mixed it with water and wished I had tried it with almond milk.... I actually thought it was pretty good I placed another order and hopefully I’ll get another one in so I can give it another go.
Salty.......... like Extra salty.......

I had a chance to try and review a few months ago the Cookie Butter flavor of XTEND Whey and I was
not a fan of the taste. It was way too sweet and overly bitter and it didn't taste good in anything I
mixed it with so I used it solely as my post workout shake and slowly chocked it down. I was hoping
this Choc Lave Cake was gonna be a lot better so lets see if it was.
Mixability- 10/10- Mixed up very well in a shaker cup with virtually no foam or any particles or floaters.
Just the color of the protein mixed had me tasting lava cake with my eyes and a lot of companies
put these fancy good looking pics on the front of their tubs and the flavors never look or even taste like
the pic but this protein mixed up and looked like lava cake so big props right there.
Taste-9/10- When it comes to choc whey Cellucor Choc Molten hands down is the BEST that I've tried
and it's a rich dark choc flavor combined with almost a malted choc flavor and it's incredibly tasty and
I remember rating that flavor 10+.
This XTEND Choc Lave Cake on the first sip really hit's that dark flavor where is rich and chocolaty without
being overly sweet. Which is how dark choc is suppose to taste and I personally love 72% dark cacao and
even higher so as you can see I appreciate a RICH choc flavor without the over sweet taste. This choc lava
cake replicates that flavor very well and I sipped on it very slowly and it was enjoyable all the way to the
end but I did get a slight aftertaste at the end so I didn't give it a 10/10 because I only had that one sample
but once I pick up a tub in the future and I try it a few more times in a shake who knows the review score
might go up.
Overall if your a dark choc lover and your on the market for an isolate don't hesitate on this XTEND Choc
Lave Cake cause I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's a flavor that is completely different from all the
other milk chocolates that are flooded on the market. It's definitely unique and decadent and the flavor
really resembles the pic of lava cake on the front of the tub. XTEND really redeemed themselves with
this flavor over the one I was not a fan of which again was that Cookie Butter.

My sentiments exactly! Love anything dark chocolate, and cellucor molten choc is the closest to it. I too, received a sample of the Xtend choc, and the first sip, even though mixed with water, was a rich chocolate taste, reminiscent of cellucor. Would probably get a tub.
And my muscle beach choc is here! hope its good.

Working out is something I LOVE and supplements are something I enjoy using to supplement a good diet
so I like to give honest feedback on products so others can have an idea on how a supplement is gonna
taste or effect them so whether good or bad like you mentioned I try to keep it detailed and I'm glad you
like the way I review products.

It seems like you and me have the same taste on choc and you are going to LOVE Muscle Beach's choc.
I thought it was one of the BEST multi blend choc flavors I've had and it was just as good as Pro Jym's
choc on his weight gainer which I tried and reviewed but I read they changed up the flavor of their choc
so it's not the same anymore. I got lucky and caught that Muscle Beach on a buy one get one free sale
when I tried it and if I ever see that sale again I'll make sure to grab at least 2 tubs of the choc this time.

I got a sample too and tried it this morning. 100% agree on your flavor description. Very rich dark chocolate flavor. It might be too rich for me to buy a tub, but it was definitely a welcome surprise. Very impressed they got that strong of a flavor.

You may not be a huge dark choc fan that's why in my review I mentioned you must love dark choc
to really appreciate this flavor and totally agree with you on how impressive the strength of the
flavor came out. This is naturally flavored so the strong flavor was a plus on masking any bitterness
from the added bcaa's which I felt the cookie butter flavor was way too bitter and that was probably
from the bcaa's and sweetener which the natural flavoring wasn't able to mask on that flavor.

If you like "rich" you'd also enjoy Xtend Pro Vanilla. It's creamy and rich and works well (in my experience) with proats, pancakes, and baking (cookies).
Xtend did the flavoring pretty well for chocolate and vanilla and the shake has a nice moderate thickness to it.••• Xtend Representative •••
