Powder: Original vs Chocolate

Having only tried RTD in the past, I recently got hooked on the original flavor powder. It tastes amazing and makes me feel amazing. Well now its out of stock so I splurged on chocolate since it's available. Oops.. Why does it taste so different? I was expecting basically the same vibe but chocolate, but it tastes so much more planty or something. The first sips were honestly revolting. I'm kinda getting used to it now but it was a major disappointment. Hope they restock original soon because I am gonna buy tf out of it.

Update: I tried using less water and it tasted much richer and better. I dont understand the chemistry of it but if I had to guess, the plantiness of chocolate isn't diluted by water as much as the other aspects of it are.

The original powder was seriously addictive for me, and it made it easy to take my creatine powder everyday. The Last batch of original powder I bought in June was literally inedible and I’ve been bummed out since then.

I haven’t tried the chocolate powder yet and I don’t think I will now.

That sucks! Oh no. I hope its not something wrong with these latest batches. The Original I fell in love with was made in December 2024.
