- YessireeExcellent protein shake!These taste great and pack a lot of protein in them! I love that i can replace a meal or supplement my protein needs with this shake. Its creamy and just thick enough but not too thick! Its a great quality for the price! I ave them on amazon re-oreder for a little bit of savings.
- Eric GibbonsGOATBest protein shakes I've ever had. If they are warm not so great but cold it tastes like ice cream, so good. Expensive but at least it's 42 grams of protein which is more than any I've seen in one shot.
- MCProbably the bestI'm not a super meat head muscle workout guy, but I went from being very active about my nutrition and macros and then had an accident which left me disabled so my needs changed. This fits different needs, but is still really really exceptional.
If you're a gym rat just looking for *only* plain old bulk protein to take after workouts, or you reeeeeeallly take a lot of it, honestly I'd get a big giant tub of bulk powder from like muscle milk or optimum nutrition. The price is just too good to ignore, & plus you can add another scoop or two to double or triple the protein. You can't really beat it, other than taste.
Speaking of taste, whether it's a pre-mix or powders, I've never, ever ever ever tasted a protein shake that tasted as good as this chocolate one. Dozens & dozens of brands over the decades, & the only one that comes close was the OG Muscle Milk recipe in the old tetra packs from like 15-20 years ago, before they were bought by Gatorade or whoever. This has NO right tasting as good as it does, with as little sugar, calories, & fat. PLUS having artificial sweeteners like stevia & sucralose. One reason I despise pre-made shakes, zero calorie & low sugar drinks is because I have a very strong detection of artificial sweeteners, but I can barely tell these are there. On top of that, 42 grams of protein in 14floz? I don't know what magic Fairlife did, but it's incredible.
One thing I will say though, is if you're taking a protein drink for pretty much anything other than supplemental protein replacement, this doesn't offer too much else. The "vitamins & minerals" aren't too impressive, and though a high protein drink can make you feel full or satiated, calories & fat are important too. As stereotyped it is, something like Ensure has a really good blend of calories, fat, sugar, and a lot of vitamins. There is a reason it's used all over hospitals & nursing homes. Plus the Ensure "Plus" & "Complete" have 16g & 30g protein each, respectively. They don't taste as good as the Fairlife does, but they're actually not too bad, since they use actual sugar. However, those really are meant for convalescing & true meal replacement, not bulking & training.
The only other downside is price really, at $40-45 for a 12 pack, these aren't cheap. However, when compared to a good alternative like optimum gold at about $25 for a 12 pack, you're getting almost double the protein in each drink from 24 to 42, and they're 14oz instead of 11oz, so you're getting 168oz compared to 132oz, which is like getting 3 more drinks worth. It's still a bit costly per bottle, as an Optimum Nutrition/Pure Protein/Premier Protein 11oz pre-made at $25 a 12pk will be a little over $2 each, & the Fairlife 12pk @ $45 is about $3.75 each. Still cheaper than if you went to pick one up at the gym or a gas station or something, a single would probably be $5-7, so there's value there in bulk. If it's worth it to you, that's up to your wallet.
Another plus is they are SNAP/EBT eligible, so that's a massive W.
If you take loads & loads & loads of protein every single day, and lugging a shaker with powder around isn't a problem, bulk powder is gonna be a LOT cheaper. However, if you only drink one every couple days, and don't want to deal with the blender/shaker hassle, and most importantly want the best tasting shake, this is it. This stuff is awesome, & I'll 1000% be trying the vanilla and strawberry as well. The chocolate is an easy 5 and worth trying. - A ThormanThe Chocolate Flavor is Delicious and Packs 42 Grams of Protein!So let me start by saying that I've purchased SO MANY different types and brands of protein shakes. I try and strive to get at least 120 grams of protein in my diet each day. This can sometimes be a challenge, but not with Core Power Elite! Each bottle contains 42 grams of protein and it actually tastes great! I easily drink two of these a day. In the mornings, I'll even replace the creamer with Core Power Elite in my coffee to get added protein. The price point is average for a quality protein drink, and considering it can serve as a meal replacement, it's a good deal! Chocolate is my favorite by far! Vanilla is okay if it's super cold. I don't really care for the strawberry flavor.
- CJKrabExcellent protein source!fairlife’s Core Power Elite Chocolate Protein Shake delivers a solid punch for post-workout or on-the-go nutrition. With 42 grams of complete protein and all 9 essential amino acids in a 14 oz bottle, it refuels muscles effectively while staying low on carbs and sugars. The chocolate flavor is rich and creamy, more like indulgent chocolate milk than a chalky supplement — smooth texture and satisfying taste make it easy to drink. It’s especially convenient when you want a quick, high-protein drink without mixing powders. Overall, it’s a dependable, tasty option for boosting protein intake and aiding recovery.
- J. WestcottDefinitely my favorite tasting high protein drink, but price is tough to swallow!So I just ordered this Core Power chocolate 14 oz protein shake today and am totally impressed by the taste and high protein content. I’ve been drinking Orgain Chocolate with 38 g of protein, and while I was satisfied with the amount of protein, it was a bit challenging to drink taste wise, especially in the beginning. I got used to it, but wasn’t a huge fan. I need the extra protein and use it to replace at least one meal a day, as I’m taking terzepitide and struggle to get enough protein each day.
The texture is really smooth, no chalkiness and it’s not sickly sweet. I don’t taste any noticeable sweeteners or obvious protein powder. I also add my collagen peptides into it and it mixed right up with no chunks, although I did use a handheld whisk to help me.
The reason I knocked a star off, is just because of the price. I don’t really understand why these drinks cost so much. All in all, if you can afford this and you need the protein, I’d say go for it. - Christina CPSurprisingly delicious protein shakeI’ve tried a lot of chocolate protein powders, and this one is honestly one of the best. The flavor is smooth, not chalky, and actually tastes like real chocolate. It mixes easily—no clumps—and works well with both water and milk. I love that it keeps me full without feeling heavy. Overall, a great protein option that I actually look forward to drinking each day!
