LEGION Whey+ Protein Whey Isolate from Grass Fed Cows (Chocolate, 60 Servings) - Whey Protein Isolate Powder, Low Calorie, Non-GMO, Sugar Free, Lactose and Gluten Free, All Natural Protein Powder

See the recent new coverage on the massive amounts of heavy metals and other contaminants in various popular protein powders? Yeah... don't go cheap on your protein powder. Legion is a very good brand, and checks all the boxes (mixes well, good flavor, great protein to calorie ratio, etc).

I was in need of a whey product (I needed the added protein) and though there were several other whey products, including Shakeology, in my home, I didn’t like them as the amount of carbs was too high. Still, I wanted a good tasting product. So, I decided to try Legion Athletic’s Dutch Chocolate Whey+. There are 30 servings to a container (each serving = 1 rounded scoop). Inside the container is a blue colored scooper, but sometimes it’s lost inside the whey, so you may need to look around for it. Here’s how Legion Athletics Whey+ stacks up to Shakeology’s Whey Blend at the macro nutrient level. Legion’s Dutch Chocolate Whey+ serving (100 calories) 22g protein 3g carbs 0.5g fat Shakeology’s Chocolate Whey Blend serving (160 calories) 17g protein 17g carbs 2g fat I love the taste of the Legion Athletics Dutch Chocolate Whey+! It’s sweet with no bitter aftertaste and no heavy feeling. And, I get to save my carbs for regular food! I drink the Whey+ primarily after my morning weightlifting routine along with my oatmeal breakfast, but also sometimes during the day when I have a sweet tooth. All ingredient information about Legion Athletic products are openly disclosed on the website. I also use their Phoenix Fat Burning supplement as well as their Forge Pre-Workout Fat Burning Supplement. The Legion Whey+ is a high quality product that I’m very pleased with and one that I’ve incorporated into my daily nutrition to meet my daily protein needs without excess carbs. I can’t wait until Legion Athletics comes out with a peanut butter whey! Pros: -Low carb -Great tasting -100% whey isolate -High quality product -All natural stevia sweetened -Lactose-free -100% satisfaction guarantee -Reasonably priced Cons: -None I hope this review will help you determine if this product is right for you. If you want to know more about my weight loss story, here it is. Mike Matthews has helped me lose the last 10 lbs that I’ve never been able to do for 30 years! For years, I was at 125 lbs, at 25% fat. Sometimes, I was able to diet and exercise and get to 115 lb / 20% fat by myself. Then, I’d regain the weight within 3-6 months. In January, 2016, I was sick and tired of being overweight and vowed to make a change for the rest of my life. I started looking for ideas and came across Mike Matthew's podcasts and started listening to them. Today, I hover at 102-105 lbs and am in the best shape of my life at about 15% fat, and guess what? I’m in my early 50’s! Thanks to Mike, I have figured out how to be healthy and fit - I lift heavy weights 5-6 days a week, walk leisurely, and most importantly I carefully monitor my calorie and macro-nutrient intake, in addition to taking my supplements. I want to be clear, it's all of these things put together, not just this Whey+, that has given me the keys to being fit and healthy. I am not a spokesperson for Legion Athletics nor for Mike Matthews.

Great flavor, mixes good.

Update 1/18/26 The initial review was off of mixing the protein powder with unsweetened cold brew coffee. My original review still holds for this mixture. However, I have since tried this with water and separately with just non-fat milk. Both of those options worked well and the stevia taste was reduced. I enjoy drinking it with milk now. Their customer service was also good. They initially offered a refund, but I have declined since I’m able to use the product. For these reasons I’m raising my review from 2 to 4 stars. Initial Review I generally like stevia but this has an Overwhelming stevia/artificial taste that lingers and Distracts you so much you can barely taste the chocolate. It also doesn’t mix that well in cold liquid. When trying to fix it in a blender (for about 5 seconds) it becomes very frothy. I’ll probably throw this out. I will not buy again & do not recommend. Only giving 2 stars because of its clean ingredients and healthy nutritional profile.

Great protein power I like to have it with milk. It doesn’t make me feel bloated as compared to other protein powders. And Iove this company, also using their casein+

high quality, great taste, will buy again

Chocolate taste was good, but the stevia has a weird aftertaste to me. And I was diluting it with other whey to reduce the sweetness. And turns out I am one of those with gastrointestinal sensitivity to stevia. So not a fan of this product.

It doesn’t blend well in a shaker cup it has to be blended in a blender. The chocolate flavor is really good! It doesn’t bother my stomach like some proteins do.
