I signed up for free samples again 🙂 I can’t help it. I’m a free stuff addict. This time Power Crunch sent me two single serving packets of their Proto Whey protein powder in vanilla crĂ©me and cookies & crĂ©me flavors (notice the accent in the word crĂ©me… very fancy).
I actually had won a free box of Power Crunch protein bars through one of their Instagram contests a few months ago so I was excited to try their protein powder.
Cookies and Créme
I tried the cookies and creme flavor first and I was pleasantly surprised by the cookie taste! It wasn’t as sweet as the Eat the Bear protein I reviewed previously but it is definitely sweeter than my usual protein powder, Xendurance. At first I was a little skeptical because when you open the packet the powder has a slight yellow color but you could see the “chocolate chips” of the cookies in there!
I don’t know if my shaker is just a failure or what, but there were little chunks in the shake after I’d shaked it for a while. Usually if there are chunks left in my protein shake I try to avoid them because they taste gross but this wasn’t a problem for the Power Crunch protein.The little unmixed pieces actually tasted like cookie dough! Yum!
Vanilla Créme
After trying the vanilla crĂ©me flavor I realized that the chunks thing was probably not intentional, but just a property of this brand of protein. The flavor was really good and light, not overly sweet but I encountered the same chunks that I did with the cookies and creme flavor. If you can’t handle chunks in your protein this will definitely be a problem for you but I didn’t mind the chunks too much.
Overall this is a good tasting protein and I would definitely try it again. I don’t know if I would commit myself to a whole tub though.
