Arnold Iron Whey Chocolate review

I decided to try out the new Arnold Iron Whey.  I would say this protein powder is meant for those who want just a protein powder and not a meal replacement. All of the protein in this mixture is very fast digesting, and will not last very long in your stomach. I would not use this one as a meal replacement, just as mostly post workout, or if you are doing 6 meals(including shakes) a day.

Pretty cool Packaging.

 A bunch of fancy words convincing you it is better than anything else.  I do like hydrolyzed protein, but this technically is a protein mix.   It is essentially taking Dymatize's ISO-100 protein, and mixing it with their regular whey protein (isolate/concentrate) combo.

 As you can see in the ingredients, it is one of the only protein powders with added sea salt.   I can really seem to taste the salt, and it is not that it is bad, it just more tastes like a gourmet chocolate shake such as the type of chocolate you would find at a place that sells only fancy gourmet chocolate with salt on top.

By looking at the ingredients one can see that Musclepharm made this product to be the Whey only based alternative to Combat powder. 


 It mixes very well, and I think it is because it has hydrolyzed protein in part of the mix.

I tested mix-ability by using just a small cup of water and a spoon.  I see as at the only real test for mix-ability consider you can mix just about anything in a blender bottle. 

Yes I would recommend this, and yes it does taste very good.  A little bit salty if you are not expecting it, but good still the same.
