PEScience Select Protein Powder Drink Mix, 55 Serving, 3.94 lbs, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup

I rarely write reviews, but man was this good. I've tried Ryse, Ghost, and Optimum Nutrition in the past. Pescience blows ON and Ghost out of the water, and is even marginally better than Ryse.I ordered the snickerdoodle and strawberry cheesecake flavors, and was given free additional samples for their cake flavor select protein alongside peach pump formula and pineapple/guava preworkout. Literally everything tasted fantastic.Hands down some of the best tasting workout supplements I have ever had in my life, will be coming back for more when I run out.

This stuffs blends so nicely in all milk, but I prefer almond milk and it tastes just like hot chocolate.

My favorite protein, it’s not chalky, taste good and blends well! i have used it in my coffee, shakes and more !

Let me start by saying I’m a huge fan of PEScience protein powders. Their formulas blend beautifully into everything—oats, baked goods, smoothies—without that chalky texture or artificial aftertaste many brands suffer from. I’ve tried nearly every flavor (Cookies & Cream and Cake Pop are elite!), so I was excited to try the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut. While it’s *fine*, it doesn’t quite hit the mark compared to their other offerings.**The Good:**As always, the protein powder **mixes flawlessly**—no clumps, even in cold liquids. The texture is smooth, and the sweetness level is balanced (not overly sugary). Nutritionally, it’s a winner: 24g of protein per scoop, low sugar, and no digestive issues, which matters for someone who uses protein daily. I also appreciate that it works well in recipes. I added it to protein pancakes, and they turned out fluffy and rich.**The Flavor Issue:**Here’s the catch: the **White Chocolate Macadamia Nut flavor is underwhelming**. The “white chocolate” notes are subtle, almost vanishing behind the vanilla base, and the macadamia nut flavor is barely detectable. It’s more like a faintly sweet, generic vanilla with a hint of nuttiness. Compared to PEScience’s bolder flavors—like Peanut Butter Cup or Snickerdoodle—this one lacks depth and authenticity. It’s not *bad*, but it’s forgettable. If you’re someone who loves strong, distinct flavors, this might leave you wanting more.**Final Thoughts:**I’ll keep using this tub because the quality and versatility of PEScience’s formula still make it a pantry staple. However, I’ll stick to mixing it into baked goods or oatmeal where the mild flavor blends in rather than shines. If you’re new to PEScience, I’d recommend starting with their other flavors first—this one feels like a "safe" experiment that doesn’t fully deliver. That said, loyal fans might still appreciate it for its functionality, even if the taste doesn’t wow.

I got this looking for something that would taste good in my morning protein coffee that wouldn't add a bunch of carbs or sugar to my inake. This tastes amazing and mixes well. I'm so glad they sell smaller bags to essentially sample before committing. The macros are definetly a lot better then my old protein. Really happy, will probably buy the bigger bag.

I previously wrote a review for the Cake Pop flavor and I would like to edit now that I have tried a few flavors.For every flavor: this doesn't upset my stomach, the flavors I've tried have been all drinkable, and I like that the texture is never grainy.Cake Pop: 6/10 Very, very sweet. Difficult to get the full scoop in your meal because it's so sweet. I like it sprinkle into yogurt for a little protein boost/ treat, or into baked goods, but it's just not versatile enough for me to use daily.Chocolate Truffle: 8/10 This has a malty flavor like a chocolate malt milkshake, but is slightly more "protein powdery" and I find it thickens drinks up quite a bit? My favorite way to drink this flavor is in a blended coffee "mocha frappe" type drink.Strawberry Cheesecake: 9/10 My favorite so far. This smells just like Captain Crunch cereal. I just tried it as a strawberry milk made with oat milk, a scoop of powder, and a handful of strawberries. It had a light strawberry taste that wasn't as artificial as the smell. I think this would be tasty in a smoothie with real fruit or in desserts. The only improvement upon this flavor would be a more natural regular strawberry rather than a "strawberry cheesecake."

I’ve been using this protein powder for a while and have always been happy with the quality. It mixes well, has a solid ingredient profile, and tastes great—whether blended into a smoothie or just shaken with water. The digestion is smooth, and it provides a reliable source of protein for post-workout recovery.However, the recent price increase makes it a poor value compared to other options on the market. While I was willing to pay a premium before, the new cost is simply too high for what it offers. There are plenty of other high-quality proteins available at a better price, so I won’t be repurchasing this one. If they reconsider the pricing, I might revisit, but for now, I’ll be looking elsewhere.
