Nutrition from NIH DSLD 333848 (Double Chocolate Explosion 4 lb, 48 servings, UPC 811020902225, entered 2025-07-24): 1 scoop (38 g), 150 kcal, 3.5 g fat, 5 g carbs incl. 2 g fiber, 2 g sugar, 25 g protein, 140 mg sodium; Vanilla Flex (DSLD 333849) is 140 kcal, 6 g carbs. The 25 g Premium Protein Blend lists a quick-release blend (whey concentrate, isolate, hydrolysate) and delayed-release blend (egg protein) without amounts, so contains_proprietary_blend is true. Leucine 2.5 g and BCAAs 5.4 g are label values; added L-glutamine (5 g glutamine claim). Also contains Hydro Greens blend (flax, chia, coconut water, blue-green algae, chlorella, wheat grass, maca) and Promax enzyme blend. Label allergen statement: 'Contains: milk, egg, soy, tree nut (coconut), wheat products.'
