Yummy Whey Protein Stracciatella by Vit4ever

In ice cream parlours, stracciatella has been a classic for decades: vanilla cream with fine splinters of pure chocolate mixed in. This whey protein by Vit4ever brings that idea to the shaker: a creamy vanilla base with a distinct chocolate note on top, and 22 grams of protein per serving. The bag contains 908 grams, enough for about thirty shakes. For those who find chocolate just a bit too much and vanilla just a bit too little, this flavour sits right in between. What's more, it's a flavour you can enjoy for ages, precisely because it never becomes overly sweet.

Vanilla cream with a chocolate edge

Stracciatella is no half-hearted chocolate shake. The base tastes soft and ice-cream-like, with a chocolate note on top that you can clearly taste but that never takes over. Unlike in ice cream, there are no real chocolate splinters in the powder: the flavour comes from aroma, which keeps the shake smooth and leaves no bits behind in your shaker. When prepared with milk, the ice cream character comes through most strongly, almost like a melted scoop of ice cream without the sugar rush. With cold water, the shake remains lighter, but the combination of vanilla and chocolate still shines through. A striking detail in the ingredients list: the soft colour comes from beetroot, a natural colouring source that you can't taste. With 2.2 grams of sugar per serving, the dessert feel is kept in check. Compared to Vanilla Dream, you clearly taste more excitement here; compared to Chocolate Dream, more softness.

22 grams of protein from 96 per cent whey concentrate

Each 30-gram scoop provides 22 grams of protein and 118 kilocalories. The base consists of 96 per cent whey protein concentrate, filtered from fresh German milk using ultrafiltration. During this process, a large proportion of the milk fat and lactose is removed, while the amino acids remain: all EAAs and BCAAs are naturally included. Many athletes plan their shake immediately after training. What we are legally allowed to say about this is clear enough: protein contributes to an increase in muscle mass and protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. Furthermore, protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Per 100 grams of powder, the bag provides 73.4 grams of protein, and that lasts for thirty servings. Handy for busy days: a shake does not replace a meal, but it does capture the moment when eating is simply out of the question. And feel free to check the ratio: 22 grams of protein versus just over 2 grams of carbohydrates.

From protein ice cream to breakfast bowl

This flavour in particular calls for a foray into ice cream. Mix a scoop of powder with two frozen bananas and a splash of milk in the blender, and you'll have a creamy protein ice cream in a minute—the well-known nicecream trick. For the real stracciatella effect, grate some pure chocolate into it. In the shaker with a few ice cubes, it becomes a thick milkshake for after training. Stirred into Greek yoghurt or quark, you get a dessert that comes suspiciously close to an ice cream cup, and in oatmeal, the powder turns your breakfast into a dessert. Baking is also an option, of course: pancakes or a mug cake with this flavour will get a subtle vanilla-chocolate note. And when it's cold outside, the powder also works with hot milk, where the chocolate note gets just a bit more room. You can also make it faster: shaker, cold milk, scoop of powder, and the dessert is on the table within half a minute.

Beetroot as a colouring, lactase as an extra

Two things stand out in the composition. Firstly, the colouring from beetroot, which gives the shake its soft tint without affecting the flavour. Secondly, the added lactase. You can't taste either of these additions in the shake. However, the product remains dairy: if you have a cow's milk allergy, this flavour is also not suitable. If in doubt, read the label or consult your doctor.

Stracciatella is the flavour for those who can't decide, but aren't really indecisive: vanilla and chocolate at the same time, in a whey protein with 22 grams of protein per serving. Thirty ice cream parlour servings from a 908-gram bag, all year round, as a milkshake in summer and simply hot in winter.
