ICONIC Protein Powder, Chocolate Truffle

I have been receiving about 2 bags a month for years. I love the taste, it blends well and is also good hot. I use it in my oatmeal for breakfast, in yogurt, bake with it, and sometimes just make it into hot chocolate. The calorie to protein ratio is good and the ingredients list is short. I also like the vanilla but the chocolate one is my favorite.

Love the vanilla. Chocolate is good too. Vanilla is better to me and I wanna know if you can tell us when you’ll be getting more vanilla in?

Wow! This is a great protien powder. I hate most protien powders because of the chalky strong taste. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the price but a friend kept recommending it. It’s delicious. All I taste is a hint of chocolate and no chalky taste. It’s a great addition to my shakes. I highly recommend.

Very fine powder - good overall taste with almond milk. It could be less sweet but overall the best brand I've found so far.

I have been lactose intolerant sine my mid 20's, I am 45 and have been taking plant protein powders forever. I have always heard that whey is superior to plant powders but couldnt take it due to digestive issues. Then I came across info that told me whey isolate usually has most of it's lactose removed naturally from processing. Why have I not heard this before? Anyway, I decided to try some isolates out but would not settle for anything less than grass-fed, non gmo with minimal additives if any at all. I came across this and gave it a try. It has been wonderful, in my opinion it mixes easily, tastes ok, typical whey pro powder taste, and best of all, I can digest it. I have also started taking Blubonnet grass fed whey isolate and have had the same results with that. I am now on my second order of both of these. I will say at first, and sometime still at random, I notice a little bit of gas which I attribute to these products, but it is minimal and sometimes not present at all. It is so minimal that I really dont even care about it as it is not bothersome, not like drinking a pure glass of milk, If I did that, God help whoever is standing next to me in an elevator an hour later lol...but from what I understand, not all lactose can be removed in the whey isolate creation process so this is understandable. Since beginning taking both of these powders two or three times a day I have started making some gains so I feel great about that, although I have also started taking dextrose powders with these in my protein shakes right after workouts which is supposed to help drive the shake into your muscles better, seems to be working for me. For those interested, right after a workout I take one or two scoops of these powders, about 1/2 serving dextrose, about 30g carbs according to label, (you can also use glucose powders), and some creatine, 3-5 grams, and i really feel it gets in me. Hope this review helps I will def be continuing this product and also Blubonnet's powder. I will be submitting this same review for the BB protein powder so if you read them both and it sounds identical that's because it mostly is--cheers. Update: 6-26-2020 My second batch of this does not mix as well as the first, everything else seems to be the same but it froths really bad whether blending or shaking...because of this I will be staying away from it for a while and may give it another try in the future.

What I Like: - no digestion issues - safer compared to plant-based (lead) - sugar-free and low carb What Could Be Better: - chocolate truffle doesn't taste at all like chocolate; tastes like vanilla; i actually add a heaping teaspoon of Dutch cocoa - powder is so excessively fine and difficult to scoop without spilling; wouldn't be an issue if this wasn't so expensive and every lost spoonful can add up - can be difficult to mix manually (i put mine in a mason jar and shake, but this takes a lot time and strength) Bottom Line: for this price, i'm going to keep shopping because there's got to be something better...

This is a little pricey compared to other protein shakes out there but you can’t beat the macros and the clean ingredients. I buy this specifically because it doesn’t contain any additives. The powder is really soft, think powdered sugar, so it does get everywhere but I just store in a mason jar. Much simpler than leaving in the bag. If I could change one thing about this it would be the packaging. I wish it came in a jar but I will still continue buying.

I was really bummed when my local store stopped carrying this product and so happy I found it in stock on Amazon. This protein is not your average protein because it is finely milled like flour. It can make a mess so just know that when you purchase it and be careful when opening. I use a clean fork to find the scoop. The slight mess it makes sometimes is minor because it blends so well because of the fine milling. have tried both vanilla and chocolate and both are equally delicious. The ingredients are minimal and no added junk. I have been supplementing my diet with protein for over 20 years and have yet to find one that taste and mixes as good as Iconic. I don’t suffer any gastro effects from this brand either while some whey proteins make me bloated. If you are in the market for a clean protein that actually taste good I would give it a try!
