Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus Chocolate naturally flavored protein shake



Wandering around the store, I spied this chocolate flavored protein drink from Bolthouse Farms. If you don't know Bolthouse Farms products, they tend to be delicious. Now that they have a chocolate shake, protein or not, I grabbed a bottle.

The ingredient statement is a little intimidating at first glance, but it's basically milk, water, sugars, proteins, chocolate and vitamins:

Ingredients: low-fat milk, filtered water, agave nectar, cane sugar, whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, cocoa powder, natural flavors, dipotasium phosphate, acacia gum, gellan gum, ascorbic acid, carrageenan, vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), vitamin B1 (thiamin mononitrate), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacinamide), vitamin B5 (calcium pentothenate), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCL), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin V9 (folic acid), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), vitamin E (alpha-tocopheryl acetate), calcium (tricalcium phosphate), phosphorus (tricalcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate), magnesium (magnesium phosphate), chromium (chromium chloride), iodine (potassium iodide), iron (ferric orthophosphate), zinc (zinc oxide), copper (copper cluconate).

Check out what that does for you per serving:


The first sip was sort of odd -- certainly chocolately, but with a distinct whey aftertaste. That didn't stop me from chugging half the bottle in the truck before I even left the store parking lot.

Available from Henry's Market for $3.99 in a 32 oz bottle.
