Love this stuff. The chocolate isn't overwhelming, the stevia is good. Just tried Levels and it's not bad but im going back to Ascent
Is Ascent 100% Grass fed like Levels or you don't really care for that?
I personally find it tastes good, mixes well, and doesn't make me as sick as most regular whey protein brands. But nearly any whey isolate product would be better if you want to avoid lactose. Levels whey is grass fed but whey concentrate. They don't filter out lactose and casein which saves them a lot of money.
Ascent's major claim is that it uses native whey, but it also uses regular old isolate and concentrate like every other protein which amounts that aren't listed at all so I'd also consider it to essentially NOT be native whey. It's a blend, there's enough native whey to make marketing claims but it's not 100% native whey and probably not even majority native whey.
That being said I was pleasantly surprised the flavor of Levels compared to Optimum Nutrition. I'm normally not a fan of stevia, it tastes watery and bitter. I prefer sucralose. But Levels double chocolate has a strong chocolate taste and the stevia bitterness actually makes it taste more like dark chocolate vs the ON extreme milk chocolate when mixed with milk. It's less sweet, more chocolate. I think it's nasty with water though whereas ON is at least palatable with water.
Haven't tried Ascent because I'm waiting for $39.99 in-store for chocolate.
