What is California Gold Nutrition Sport Whey Protein Isolate?
Whey protein isolate is whey that has been filtered further than a standard concentrate. California Gold Nutrition says this isolate is produced using a multi-stage ultra and micro-filtration process with state-of-the-art membrane technology. The label describes it as a low lactose food and states that the milk comes from cows not supplemented with rbST.
The ingredients are whey protein isolate (from bovine milk), organic cane sugar, cocoa powder (non-alkalised), natural flavours, sea salt, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin and stevia leaf extract. The label states it is formulated without artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners, and without fillers or gluten.

How it fits into your routine
A dark chocolate flavour tends to taste richer and less sweet than a standard milk chocolate protein. Many people have it after training, blended with milk and a banana, or stirred through oats and yoghurt. If you prefer a lighter taste, the same range includes Very Vanilla, and you can compare other options in our protein powder range.
How to use
Mix 1 slightly rounded scoop daily with 6 to 12 oz (about 180 to 360 ml) of cold water or the beverage of your choice. For best results, add the liquid to a blender bottle, shaker cup or blender first, then add the powder. The brand notes it can also be blended with a spoon if necessary.
