Protein

I love my core power chocolate protein drinks. I love how it has a balance between thick and thin texture. And how it can last me a few hours rather than drinking all at once. Often my chocolate, I have a sick stomach and the string is good at keeping it settled down.

Great flavor

Great product. I think one of the best protein drinks I have tried. It taste just like chocolate milk to me. Definitely does not taste chalky or have that protein powder taste. I also like that it is not overly sweet like most protein shakes. It is a 5 star product for me.

Not perfect, but good enough

I wouldn't say that this is the most fantastic protein drink ever. The elite had a smoother taste, and I do miss that one, but it wasn't five stars either. Practically every protein drink I have had, has some sort of aftertaste. But this one is better than most. I add a little bit of ice to a blender cup, some PB2 and the shake and blend. Then I add it back to the bottle for easy drinkability. It's the best taste it's going to get, but like I said, better than most

Tastes great and shelf stable.

The chocolate tastes very good. I refrigerate before consuming. I have lactose issues but this isn't dairy so no issue.

Greate Taste!

Great taste! Doesn’t have that protein taste like other protein shakes. Tastes similar to chocolate milk. I always drink it after it’s been refrigerated for a while and shake it well.

New Formula 42g Elite Choc to Gray bottle Yuck

I have been using FairLife Elite Chocolate 42g for 5-6 mts. About a month ago change in formula, the once creamy smooth Dark Chocolate now is same as the 26g Milk Chocolate with an after taste. It’s not as Sweet, yummy tasting; my Coworkers work in a hospital and kept these on hand for our team “our #1” We all have nots the change sadly. It’s NOT The same, bring back the Elite Creamy Dark Chocolate. Please

Yummmm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stuff. Lactose free and no added sugarrrr perfect. The chocolate flavor isn't too sweet or rich, which I appreciate. Not thick or chalky at all. I'll definitely be buying these again.

Delicious but too expensive 😋💸

Really good taste with high protein but the price is too steep for this little bottle. 5 bucks per bottle is crazy work.

Highly recommend because of the taste and the amount of protein

Fairlife protein shakes are tasty and high in protein. I usually drink one as soon as I finish a weight lifting workout or a run. Some times I drink one to get my protein intake for the day. The chocolate flavor mixes well with my vanilla collagen and my vitamins. Would highly recommend the chocolate Fairlife protein shake to anyone that works hard in the gym and to anyone needing that extra protein.

Favor Protein Shake

Huge thumbs up to Fairlife for the Core Elite 42g protein shakes. I drink them daily as a protein boost between meals. All of the flavors are tasty, but I do wish they would come out with a coffee flavor.
