Chocolate without the dessert.
Darker and far less sweet than most chocolate powders, which is why people who find flavoured protein cloying end up here. Nineteen grams of whey protein concentrate with LIVSTEADY behind it, and the lowest sodium in the range at 140mg a serve. Mixes clean in water, dairy milk or oat milk.

Protein on its own rebuilds. It does nothing about what the session drained. This does both.
Real alkalised cocoa rather than a dessert flavour. The one people move to when everything else tastes like a milkshake.
Useful if you already take electrolytes separately, or if you train indoors rather than in the Australian summer.
19g of whey protein concentrate with LIVSTEADY behind it, so you rebuild and refuel in the same glass.
Water, dairy milk or oat milk. It is not fussy and it does not clump.
The full stack
All four run on LIVSTEADY. Powder before the start, gels on course, protein after you stop.

“UCAN is a game-changer for energy and recovery. I wasn’t worried about rescuing my body from a crash, instead I had consistent energy levels that allowed me to focus on running, not fueling. Being able to have energy without sugar really made a big difference for me, especially later in my career.”
Meb Keflezighi, 4x US Olympian, Boston and NYC Marathon Winner
I have been using the UCAN chocolate protein drink in the morning for years. It is the best!!! It sustains me until lunch and it tastes amazing compared to all the other protein powders on the market!
I love this protein powder! I mix it with chocolate almond milk every day for breakfast, post run, and it keeps me full until lunch. It’s plant-based, rather than whey, so it doesn’t upset my stomach.
Good taste & I use 15min’s after my morning run to help me recover.
Very smooth, not chalky at all. With water or oatmilk both taste great!
Good sustained energy for a long base run!
The perfect “snack” after a long run to refuel you until after you shower.
No chalky aftertaste. Smooth. And actually tasty 🙂
Best testing protein I have ever had. Incredible for a plant based protein powder.
Love this! Great flavor, not chalky, great to add to a breakfast shake.
Have been using the protein drink post run. Great taste and a great recovery tool.
Super smooth protein powder, with long lasting fullness.
I use it as part of my breakfast before long runs.

LIVSTEADY is a complex carbohydrate made from non-GMO corn starch through a patented cooking process. The molecule is large and breaks apart slowly, so the carbohydrate arrives over a long stretch rather than all at once.
Plain protein handles the rebuild and does nothing about what the session drained. Pairing it with LIVSTEADY covers the refuel in the same glass, so you are not chasing a second thing twenty minutes later.
It is the same carbohydrate in our Edge energy gels and Energy Powder. Read more on what LIVSTEADY is.

How to use it
One scoop in 350ml of water or milk. It mixes clean in water, so milk is optional. One pack makes twelve shakes, which works out at about $9.08 each.
The window most runners care about. Protein for the rebuild, LIVSTEADY to put back what the session took, and far easier to get down than solid food when you have just stopped.
Twenty three grams of protein and steady carbohydrate holds through a morning better than toast does. Blend it with a banana if you want it to eat like a meal.
Doubling up in one day, or racing tomorrow. This is the shake that gets you to the second session without arriving empty.

Nineteen grams a serve, which is two scoops of 50g. Cookies and Cream carries 23g if you want more, and both plant based flavours carry 20g.
Cocoa is whey protein and runs darker and less sweet. Chocolate is pea protein, dairy free, and tastes closer to a standard chocolate shake. Cocoa also has less sodium, 140mg against 250mg.
No, it is the least sweet of the four. If you want something closer to a dessert, take Cookies and Cream.
Yes, erythritol alongside steviol glycosides. If polyols bother your stomach, Cookies and Cream and Vanilla are both sweetened with stevia alone.
Sweet without being sickly. If you want the least sweet option in the range, take Cocoa instead.
Twelve. The pack holds 600g at two scoops of 50g a serve, which works out at about $9.08 a shake.
