## Description

Whey is amongst the most popular protein sources for athletes - and for good reason. Whey proteins are highly digestible, rich in all the essential amino acids (including the three BCAAs), and have a thin consistency that is exceptionally drinkable. Rivalwhey's 100% whey protein recipe blends high-purity whey isolate (primary protein source, BTW), ultra-filtered whey concentrate, and speedy whey hydrolysate to provide an exceptional balance of clean macros, great taste, unsurpassed quality, and bang for your hard-earned buck. So good it should have been called UNRIVALED WHEY.

Review: Best that I found for the price.. - My wife and I have found that upon waking up, we don't typically have time for breakfast, and a quick breakfast bar or something similar is basically just a bunch of carbs... So we buy protein drinks however those can get a bit expensive. I still prefer them however my wife has found, as odd as this might sound, a scoop of this in her morning coffee with the right amount of creamer actually tastes pretty good, and gives her the protein that she's looking for first thing in the morning. We bought one of those little containers with a shaker ball inside of it, and I put a splash of coffee with the creamer in that container, a scoop of protein, and I've got no clumps whatsoever in about 10 seconds. This stuff dissolves beautifully. And believe me I shopped around because everybody that knows, or has purchased protein before realizes that it is rather expensive. For the price per ounce, this is the best deal I have found. And further research has shown me that this is of a better quality than some of the other brands that actually cost more.
Review: Great tasting protein but poor customer service - This is a great whey protein and, in my opinion, the best bang for your buck. Sure, there are some that are less expensive but I’ve found the flavor is worse and/or it doesn’t mix well. Rival mixes really well and tastes great. The first flavor I tried was cinnamon toast, but they’ve been out-of-stock for many months. Marshmallow is my favorite and soft serve vanilla is fine. I would be buying cinnamon toast if they ever had it back in-stock but my guess is that it will never be. I contacted Rival months ago asking two things: 1.) when will you have cinnamon toast back in-stock and 2.) why is the price of your whey protein more expensive on your own website than it is on desertcart (a really bizarre thing considering you also have to pay for shipping)? I got no response back. I’ve been buying Rival protein for the last six months and it’s discouraging to see zero response from customer service. Don’t list an email address for customer service if you just ignore people. Aside from Rival discontinuing one of their most delicious flavors, I’m happy overall. Their whey is reasonably priced and tastes pretty good. Rival, according to their website is a company that was founded by the guys that founded Optimum Nutrition. They shouldn’t need business advice but here it is: take a business tip from another successful company, Ghost, and have someone respond back to customer service questions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly a Delicious and Healthful Supplement
*by R***H on September 29, 2025*

I have been using a protein supplement for some years, mostly a different brand. But chocolate is my flavor of choice, and so tried this one recently (and currently). Calorie content was comparable, protein content was on target, no intestinal issues. The powder comes with a measuring cup, and it seems to dissolve easily (in milk, in my case). I dissolve it in any of several smoothies I use. The flavor is superb. So if you are a younger person looking to build muscle in the gym, or an older person like me trying to preserve the muscle you’ve got, give this one a try. Highly recommended.
