Availability: Medium (Most Major Online Retailers)

A while back I reviewed the Original Whey Crisps and I absolutely loved that shit. Because of its crunchy and tasteless nature you could pretty much add it to anything (within reason). I started tossing it in my oatmeal, cereal, salad (great crouton replacement), ice cream, yoghurt and most recently it was the prime ingredient in what happened to be the best peanut butter in the world.

Was it expensive? Kinda’. You do pay a slightly premium but remember, specialty protein products aren’t and shouldn’t be used to REPLACE protein powder. It’s meant to augment your daily foods with an extra shot of protein where you normally couldn’t.

I didn’t know you could patent chocolate…

So imagine my over the top reaction when I got an email from BPT Technologies stating that they are about to release a new “chocolate” version of their original Whey Crisps and I was to get a sample tub.

“FUCK YES!”… was my reaction as far as I can recall. Since this is such an original product, I’ll be comparing the new chocolate version to the original and see how everything stacks up. For those that have been living in loneliness… here’s the official description of what this product is all about.

Product Claims:

Whey Crisps make it easy for you to add high quality whey protein isolate to almost any food imaginable. Our Whey Crisps are the #1 choice for making protein based food products. The possibilities are endless and its functionality is superb! Whey protein powder has many disadvantages when it comes to cooking or baking with. It becomes rock hard in very little time, it smells upon baking, and it forms into a sponge like substance in baking goods.

Whey Crisps on the other hand have none of these problems. You can cook, bake, and pretty much do anything you want with whey crisps. Consumers in the past that tried to make protein bars using whey powder and were unsuccessful can now make protein bars using whey crisps and the result is a fantastic tasting, long lasting, protein bar made from whey.

First Impressions:

The packaging is nearly identical to the original with a 2 major changes. One is the obvious “chocolate” flavor mentioned and the other is the drop in grams per serving of protein. The original had 28g/serving where as the chocolate now has 20g/serving. A little disappointing but then you do have to realize that extra ingredients are added to the flavoring process so it’s not JUST protein that you’re getting.

The granuels also have a slightly different shape than the original… resembling tiny little coffee beans instead of mini cylinders. After opening the bottle I stuck my nose in there to see if I could get any chocolatey whiffles… nope. Gary Vaynerchuk would say that this stuff is “aromatically challenged”.

But that’s ok because once you pop some in your mouth its all aces baby. There was no question that you could eat the original crisps right from the container, but it was always too bland. The chocolate Whey Crisps taste like coco puffs… they just have less sweetness and more crunchy-ness to them. I LIKE that, a lot. Good job BPT, this stuff fucking rules by itself.

Let’s dive in further to see what you get…

When looking at the ingredient list, it’s re-assuring to see that whey isolate is mentioned first… not the cheaper alternative “concentrate”. So you are getting what you’re paying for. There are plenty of companies out there that will market their protein powders with the name “iso” in there to make you THINK that you’re getting the good stuff. But all you have to do is turn to the ingredient list and you’ll see that it’s actually mostly concentrate (50% or more) with a bit of isolate thrown in (40% or less). I don’t know about you, but that’s called FALSE FUCKING ADVERTISING. I send hate mail to these clowns. BPT won’t be getting such mail.

Now to make this stuff sugar-free they have decided to jump in the Splenda bandwagon (i.e sucralose). As my readers know, this isn’t my first choice… it would be nice if they used Stevia.

Real World Results:

Well you already know they taste awesome right out of the container, and they taste even BETTER when combined with treats such as muffins, pancakes, cookies and brownies. But on the other hand, because of it’s chocolaty nature, these Whey Crisps can’t be used in as many situations as it’s original brother. What we have here is the jack of all trades V.S specialty debate. Which product you side with now becomes your choice.

Conclusion:

Since I’ve already reviewed the original product extensively, there is no reason to go on further. So let’s warp this up.

Pros

• Tastes great straight out of the container (better than the original)
• Works great in “dessert” and “treat” type recipes
• Won’t exactly break the bank at $0.97 per serving
• Makes a great snack. Just throw some inside a ziplock bag and off you go
• Can be used to make the best peanut butter in the world. Bar none.
• Has 3g Glutamine per serving (helps with recovery)

Cons

• Only 20g per scoop where as the original was 28g
• For the same price, you get slightly less product (2.23 lbs vs 3lbs for the original)
• Can’t be used in certain recipes such as burgers, meat loaf etc.

Overall I’m happy and yet sad at the same time. I’m happy because this stuff rocked my world and I’m gona give it a solid 4 outta 5 stars. But I’m sad because I’m almost out, which means I’ll have to patiently wait for my next tub to ship. I hate waiting…
