What customers say about Whey Cacao
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ekopura Whey Cacao, and what sort of protein powder is it?
Ekopura Whey Cacao is whey protein with cocoa: a cocoa-flavoured protein powder made from whey protein concentrate containing 76% protein, sweetened with steviol glycosides.
A 25-gram serving, two tablespoons, provides 19 grams of protein; a 500-gram bag contains 20 servings. The list of ingredients comprises three items: whey protein concentrate from milk, cocoa powder and steviol glycosides.
How much protein is there in a portion, and what is whey protein good for?
A 25-gram portion of Ekopura Whey Cacao provides 19 grams of protein, and there are authorised health claims regarding protein’s effects on muscle mass and bones.
Consume 1 to 3 portions per day. In the EU, the following has been established regarding protein:
Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.
Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
What ingredients are in it, and is Ekopura Whey Cacao certified organic?
Ekopura Whey Cacao contains three ingredients: whey protein concentrate provides the protein, cocoa powder (6.6%) the flavour and steviol glycosides the sweetness.
No, Ekopura Whey Cacao is not certified organic. Among other things, it contains steviol glycosides as a sweetener, and these are not permitted in organic food. Our protein powders Whey Natural Organic, Casein Organic and Vegan Protein Organic are, however, certified organic.
What does Ekopura Whey Cacao taste like, and what is the shake sweetened with?
Ekopura Whey Cacao’s shake tastes of cocoa and is lightly sweetened: 6.6% cocoa powder and 0.2% steviol glycosides, with no added sugars.
Steviol glycosides are the sweetener, also known as stevia. No flavourings or colourings have been added either, and the contains naturally occurring sugars powder is made from milk. If you mix the protein shake with milk or a nut milk, it will have a richer texture than when mixed with water. If you’d like to try it first, there’s a 25-gram sample available: exactly one serving.
How do you make a protein shake using this protein powder, and does it come with a measuring scoop?
Mix two tablespoons of Ekopura Whey Cacao (25 grams) with 250 ml of water, milk or a nut-based drink in a shaker or blender.
Blend until the shake is creamy. The powder dissolves well in a shaker or blender; it’s harder to get it completely smooth using a spoon. You can also stir the powder into a smoothie, porridge or yoghurt, or use it in a baking recipe; if you want a thinner shake, add more liquid.
No, there is no measuring spoon included in the pack, so use two tablespoons or weigh out 25 grams on kitchen scales. A separate stainless steel measuring spoon is available to buy.
When should you drink a protein shake, and can you combine it with other supplements?
There’s no set time for having a protein shake with Ekopura Whey Cacao: after exercise, at breakfast or as a snack: any of these work. Choose the time that suits you best, and stick to 1 to 3 servings of 25 grams a day, alongside your usual diet.
Yes, you can combine it with other Ekopura products, such as magnesium, omega-3 and our other protein powders: this powder contains no added vitamins or minerals, so you won’t be taking any of them twice. Stick to the recommended daily intake for each product, and add a supplement from another brand or a multivitamin to that.
Is Ekopura Whey Cacao a whey concentrate or a whey isolate?
Ekopura Whey Cacao is a whey protein concentrate, not an isolate: an isolate undergoes an additional processing step which results in a higher protein content.
This concentrate contains 76 grams of protein per 100 grams of powder and is therefore high in protein; a 25-gram serving provides 19 grams of protein.
Where does the whey protein come from?
The milk used to produce the whey protein in Ekopura Whey Cacao comes from dairy farms in southern Germany and the Alps.
Whey is a by-product of cheese production. It is processed into a concentrate containing 76% protein. The cocoa powder and steviol glycosides are then added.
How are the cows kept that supply our milk?
Our milk comes from dairy farms in southern Germany and the Alpine region, where the cows go outdoors as soon as the weather and the ground allow it. On top of the European welfare rules that apply to all dairy cattle, they get at least 60% forage in the daily ration (grass, hay or silage), feed that largely comes from the farm itself or from the region, and a dry lying area with straw or other suitable natural bedding on a solid floor.
Does Ekopura Whey Cacao contain any allergens, and does it contain lactose?
Yes, Ekopura Whey Cacao contains milk and therefore lactose, as whey is derived from milk; milk is the only allergen that must be declared in this product.
If you have a cow’s milk allergy, this product is not suitable for you. If you are lactose intolerant, it depends on how much you can tolerate; if in doubt, consult your doctor or dietitian. If you are looking for a protein powder without milk, take a look at our plant-based protein powders.
Is Ekopura Whey Cacao suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, Ekopura Whey Cacao is suitable for vegetarians, but because of the whey not for vegans.
Whey comes from milk, so this is a dairy product. The two other ingredients, cocoa powder and steviol glycosides, are plant-based. If you are looking for a fully plant-based protein powder, have a look at our vegan protein powders.
Do protein shakes help with weight loss?
No, Ekopura Whey Cacao is not a weight-loss product: no health claim linking protein to weight loss has been approved in the EU.
A protein shake does, however, increase your total protein intake without adding too many extra calories: a 25-gram serving provides 19 grams of protein. It is a dietary supplement and not a meal replacement. If you want to lose weight, consult a dietitian or your GP about your overall diet.
Protein powder and children, pregnancy or breastfeeding: what should you bear in mind?
If you are using Ekopura Whey Cacao for children, during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding, please consult a healthcare professional first. The dosage is intended for adults. Children require a different dose; please consult your GP, pharmacist or child health clinic for advice. If using the powder form, a smaller portion may be appropriate; please discuss this with one of them.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your midwife, GP or pharmacist. Stick to 1 to 3 portions a day, unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise, and take the list of ingredients with you: whey protein concentrate, cocoa powder and steviol glycosides.
