LEGION Whey+ Whey Isolate Protein Powder from Grass Fed Cows - Non-GMO, Lactose Free, Sugar Free, Natural Whey Protein Isolate, 30 Servings (Chocolate)

The powder smelled bad when I opened it. Like Rancid nuts. And the taste is terrible too - bitter! If I don’t get a returns and refund, I will be throwing it away!

I've been trying out the Legion Whey+ protein powder (chocolate flavour), and overall, I'm quite impressed. The taste is rich and leans more towards a natural, dark chocolate rather than something overly sweet or artificial, which I really like. That said, I have a really sweet tooth. It mixes easily with water or milk—no clumps, which is always a win and not too common with protein powder shakes. One of the main things that drew me to this product was the clean ingredient list. It’s made from grass-fed whey and sweetened with Stevia, which I prefer over artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. It does however, contain maltodextrin, which has been said to cause bloating, stomach upset, sugar spikes, challenges for diabetics and those with sugar resistance. I’ve not noticed any issues with my stomach though and it feels like a high-quality supplement. That said, it is on the pricey side. At around £49 for under a kilo, it’s more expensive than some other grass-fed options I’ve used, which deliver similar nutritional value. I also noticed the packaging is quite bulky—the tub isn’t filled to the top, so it feels a bit wasteful from a storage and sustainability perspective. Still, I appreciate the overall quality. The protein content per scoop is solid, the flavour is enjoyable, and I like knowing it comes from grass-fed cows. I’d definitely consider buying it again—though I might wait for a discount!

Grass-fed whey protein is my general go-to choice of protein powder type as I feel like it is the best of the options available. I had not previously come across the brand ‘legion’ before - although strangely enough that name was on my list of potential names to consider for a brand if I were ever to create one myself. The branding is nice and clear without overwhelming the consumer with claims and marketing statements. I like that it just gets the information across that those in the market for grass-fed protein powder will be looking for - and this audience is likely to be a bit more savvy than the more general-purpose protein consumer. The one thing that they don’t make as much of a statement over (and perhaps should be in my opinion) is around the sweetener choice. You have to check the ingredients list to spot that it is Stevia rather than your more common artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. I always try to favour Stevia so this is good to see - I just think the brand should maybe emphasise that aspect a bit more. The consistency of the powder is absolutely fine and it mixes as well as I would expect. It seems no better or worse than most other protein powders I have tried - including my regular brand that I would have. The taste profile is good for chocolate, not too sweet and with enough chocolate flavour to feel legit without getting out-of-hand. The price is perhaps the main kicker here. At a price of c. £45 for 1kg tub (at time of review) that is very steep. My regular grass-fed whey protein with stevia sweetener might not be as smartly marketed but doesn’t come in nearly as expensive - in fact often it can be had for half as much. I also think pouches can be a more eco-conscious packaging option rather than using tubs - but I’m open to evidence here. Ultimately, it’s a good product that ticks a lot of boxes - just not the value-for-money one.

The quality of the protein is amazing. It also dissolves very easily to water and milk. Tbh the 3 stars go to this particular flavour. In the past I bought the Dutch Chocolate, and it was amazing! 5/5. But the Chocolate one is super sweet and tastes a bit weird. I will keep buying from Legion but I want to try other flavours too since this one is not for me.

I was hoping to find a stevia based protein powder that could match Garden of Life's Whey Protein which seems almost impossible to buy in the UK now as I'm not a huge fan of the taste of Sucralose sweetened powders. This one smells horrible and doesn't taste that pleasant.

This product is not good value for money and its taste is really bad it actually tastes like crap it is totally disgusting it has a very strong artificial sweetener after taste and leaves a horrid taste in your mouth !!!!

✅Pros✅ + 22g protein per scoop from grass-fed, hormone-free Irish cows + No lactose, gluten, sugar, or artificial junk + Naturally sweetened with stevia + Mixes easily with water or milk + Gentle on the stomach - no bloating ❌Cons❌ - Chocolate flavour is subtle; not super rich so not ideal if you like a strong taste - Pricier than some other options ❓Conclusion❓ I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been great. The chocolate flavour is mild but pleasant, and I appreciate that it’s clean - no artificial sweeteners or fillers. It mixes well and doesn’t upset my stomach, which is a big plus. If you’re looking for a straightforward, clean protein powder and don’t mind paying a bit more, this is a solid choice.

I don't normally use protein powder for training, etc, but I got this to supplement my son's diet, thinking the chocolate flavour would appeal to him while ensuring he gets his share of protein. The taste is decent—leaning more towards dark chocolate than milk chocolate, which might not suit everyone’s palate but was acceptable for us. It mixes easily with either water or milk, though I personally prefer using milk as it enhances the flavour and smoothness. Each scoop provides 23g of high-quality whey protein isolate with minimal sugar (0.4g) and fat (0.5g), making it ideal for a clean protein source. The naturally sweetened formula uses Stevia, avoiding artificial sweeteners like Sucralose or aspartame. The powder doesn’t leave a dry aftertaste like some other brands, and its texture remains smooth and lump-free when mixed in a shaker. One standout feature is its versatility—it can be used not only as a shake but also mixed into smoothies or yogurt. And since we have a Ninja CREAMi, we can also make ice-creams with it too. That said, the oversized tub felt a bit overkill; only half-filled with powder, which seemed unnecessary given storage challenges. On the upside, the packaging feels secure and professional. The price point is on the higher side—around £45 for a 985g tub—but the quality ingredients and clean label partially justify the cost. For those planning regular use, this might still seem expensive unless priced closer to £35 or packaged in larger quantities like 1.3kg. It's worth noting that digging the scoop out of the bottom of the tub can be a minor hassle, but a long-handled utensil solves this issue easily. Overall, it’s a reliable and clean protein powder suitable for muscle building, recovery, and even weight loss, thanks to its fast-absorbing whey isolate and low-calorie profile. Whether for training or general dietary supplementation, this protein powder delivers both nutritional benefits and a rich chocolate flavour—though perhaps best suited to fans of darker chocolate.
