Great taste and mixes well, this protein is a Champion!, June 10, 2007
Protein is a Hugh factor after having Gastric Bypass Surgery. This has all the nutrition needed and has the BEST taste. My friends and I have tried them all, and this is the winner. They also have lots of great flavors. I give this a well needed Five Star rating, because good Protein is a big priority in my life and taste is important.

Best Tasting Protein Around by Far!!!!!!!!, March 30, 2007
I had Gastric Bypass surgery on Oct 06 so I've been through many protein drinks. This one is by far the best tasting I've had. Very smooth, mixes very easy and no after taste. You can't beat it...

Great protein shake plus a couple suggestions for others, November 27, 2010
This review is from: Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Protein Stack, Chocolate, 80-Ounce Jar (Health and Beauty)
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.
