Mutant Hardcore ISO Whey Protein Isolate - Triple Chocolate (1.6 lbs)

Mutant Hardcore ISO is a whey protein isolate powder in a 727 g (1.6 lb) tub. This is the Triple Chocolate flavour. One 32 g scoop lists 120 calories and 25 g of protein, with 1 g of fat and 2 g of carbohydrate, so the tub gives about 22 scoops. The protein comes from whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolysate, the first two ingredients on the label.

Nutrition per scoop

The Triple Chocolate panel lists 25 g of protein, 120 calories, 1 g of fat (0.5 g saturated), 2 g of carbohydrate, 0.5 g of fibre and 1 g of sugars, 10 mg of cholesterol and 110 mg of sodium. It also lists 160 mg of calcium and 1 mg of iron. There are no added sugars.

What goes into the powder

Triple Chocolate adds cocoa and mini chocolate chips (sugar, palm kernel oil, cocoa powder and soya lecithin) to the whey isolate and whey hydrolysate base, which is where its 1 g of sugars comes from. Lactase and protease enzymes are part of the formula, and MCT oil from fractionated coconut and sunflower lecithin let the powder dissolve with a shaker rather than a blender. Sucralose and stevia sweeten it.

Hardcore ISO and ISO SURGE

Mutant sold this isolate as ISO SURGE before renaming it Hardcore ISO. The size stayed at 727 g (1.6 lb). Some stock still ships in the earlier ISO SURGE tub, and the photo on this page may show that design. The contents per scoop are the figures above.

How to use it

Mix one scoop with 150 to 180 mL of cold water or milk. Water keeps the shake at the label figures; milk adds its own protein, fat and calories. Many people take a scoop after training or between meals, and a second scoop on days when food alone falls short of their protein target.

This flavour contains milk and soy and is made in a facility that also handles wheat, egg, peanut and hazelnut.

Using it in food

The powder also works outside a shaker. Stir a scoop into oatmeal or plain yogurt after cooking, or blend it with frozen fruit and milk for a thicker drink. Heat can make whey clump, so add it to warm food at the end rather than boiling it in. A level scoop is the 32 g measured on the panel.
