Core Power Chocolate

Core Power Chocolate is a 14 fl oz ready-to-drink protein shake sold chilled in a plastic bottle, typically found in the refrigerated dairy and beverage cooler near other protein shakes, flavored milks, refrigerated smoothies and recovery drinks. It reads like a gym counterpoint to chocolate milk: ultra-filtered lowfat milk as the base, 26 g of protein, electrolytes and a creamy, chocolaty flavor. You’ll spot it on shopping trips for fitness-focused shoppers — bought before or after a workout, tossed into a gym bag, or grabbed on a busy morning as a meal-replacement snack. The brand leans on athletic performance and recovery messaging, targeting active adults, athletes and time-pressed consumers who want a portable protein boost; marketing emphasizes “high quality protein,” recovery and convenience rather than indulgence. Label claims include “high quality protein” and ingredient callouts like ultra-filtered milk and added vitamins, but there’s no organic certification and small-print ingredients (natural flavors, non-nutritive sweeteners, stabilizers) hint at industrial processing. Sensory notes: pourable but noticeably thick and creamy from concentrated milk solids and gums, with a rounded alkalized-cocoa chocolate profile and a sweet edge from monk fruit, stevia and artificial sweeteners; served cold from the bottle or poured over ice, it feels like a functional treat. Processing context: this is a highly processed, shelf-stable chilled dairy-based beverage formulated with additives and sweeteners to deliver consistent taste and texture. Rituals around it are practical and utilitarian — pre-workout fuel, post-lift recovery, or a protein-forward breakfast on the go.
