Product Reviews of Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Protein Stack, Chocolate, 80-Ounce Jar
Product Review: Great protein shake plus a couple suggestions for others
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been drinking the chocolate Pure Whey Stack for over four years now. Ever since I had a Lap Band installed it has been a daily part of my life. In fact my doctor made me buy a jar before I even went for the surgery so I'd have it at home during recovery. So I can speak with some confidence about this product.
First, it takes a little getting used to. I didn't like it the first time I tasted it, and most don't. But after a few tries I really started to enjoy it. The use of cold vs. warm water makes a big difference, not only in the texture but in the taste. It really tastes different, and in my opinion better, when cold. Others swear by it warm or even a little hot (don't add hot water, it destroys the protein).
The energy I get from it is fantastic. The chocolate also helps satisfy sweet cravings and keeps me feeling full. It really does work. And my doctor tells me (your mileage may vary) that I simply can't drink enough. If I'm hungry, no matter how many I've already had, have another one.
My job requires lots of travel. I usually just fill a ziploc bag with enough Pure Whey Stack powder to make 4-5 shakes a day during the trip. I also remember to put a spare measuring cup (kept from a previously emptied jar) in the bag as well as a battery hand mixer like BonJour Café Latte Frother, Battery Powered, White/ Gray. Get this one, not the one with the spring-like blade. It is weak. This one mixes shakes quite well and is fantastic for travel. Just remember to take the batteries out - from personal experience, a vibrating suitcase gets more snickers and sneers than you can imagine.
I tend to treat myself. I usually make this mix in a high-walled glass:
2 level scoops of chocolate Pure Whey Stack
1 packet of Splenda
1 teaspoon of chunky peanut or cashew butter
I mix that concoction up with my KitchenAid KHB100OB Hand Blender, Onyx Black and it takes about 8 seconds to mix thoroughly. It tastes like a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake. Plus the fat in nut butter supposedly helps with protein absorption. Its worth a couple of carbs and a little salt for the flavor and fullness.
Buy the 5 lb. jars - they're far more economical.
Product Review: Great tasting and mixes well - excellent value

I've not tried other protein shakes recently, so this review is pointed specifically at the Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Protein Stack.
I chose the chocolate flavor as the vanilla flavors tend to make me gag and are overly sweet.
I mix the protein powder with a bit of hot water to help dissolve better and then add nonfat milk to top it off. It comes out smooth with very few lumps and if you allow it to sit for a minute, it actually gets a bit creamy. Tastes good and goes down smooth. I actually look forward to a shake after workouts now.
In the month that I've been using it combined with my workout, I've noticed an increase in size in the shoulders and arms. How much of this can be attributed to the shake, I can't say, but it sure takes the edge off my hunger after a workout. After drinking this I'm satisfied but not stuffed and it helps me to not snack on junk which defeats the purpose of my working out.
I still have more than half a jar left which is a great value considering the cost. I plan to continue buy this product after I run out.

Summary: 5 Stars
I had WLS so I need a high protein intake. I have had difficulty finding a protein powder that Packs in the protein AND has a great taste! This product does. It is thinner than most when mixed with water. Not thick and chalky. It gives me 23grams of protein of course you can always do a double scoop shake! Mixes well with out clumps. I recommend this to anyone with a need for high protein and good tasteProduct Review: great flavor
Summary: 5 Stars
Champion Nutrition's whey product is the best tasting whey protein that I have found. I would like to see the protein % even higher but it is a good buy for the money.
