Xendurance SuperGrade Protein Review
Updated October 2022 Product overview, October 2022 · 1 video
My score: 4.5 out of 5
If you drink a shake after every workout, this is a protein that actually tastes good. The chocolate is the best tasting chocolate protein I've ever had, and the vanilla tastes like the milk after Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's four dairy proteins, two fast and two slow, with no artificial flavors or sweeteners. The catch is it's dairy, and this is a 2022 product overview I made as a Xendurance team leader, not a long-term test.
Buy it if

Skip it if

Before you buy
My two gripes
It's dairy
All four proteins are dairy based. If dairy doesn't sit well with you, look elsewhere.

This is a walk through what's in it and how it tastes. It's not a long-term review.

Chocolate I'd drink every day
What's in SuperGrade Protein, why it's four proteins in one, and how the chocolate and vanilla taste.
Questions I get
What kind of protein is it?
Dairy based, four proteins in one. Two absorb fast and two absorb slow, so you get both for recovery.

The chocolate is the best tasting chocolate I've ever had, made with organic cocoa powder. The vanilla has a hint of cinnamon and tastes like the milk after Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Does it have artificial sweeteners?
No. No artificial flavors or sweeteners.
What else is in it?
A complete amino acid profile, plus lactate, electrolytes, vitamin B6, B12 and vitamin D.

My full Xendurance SuperGrade Protein review
Who this protein is for
SuperGrade is for somebody who drinks a shake after their workout and has pretty much given up on protein that tastes good.
It's dairy based. If you stay away from dairy, this one isn't for you.
I use this one myself. It's one of the proteins I use around training.
What I'm working from
My video on SuperGrade is a 90 second product overview from October 2022. I made it as a leader with Team XND, and it covers what's in it and how it tastes.
It's not a long-term test. I'm telling you that up front so you know what you're reading.
Four proteins in one
This is what makes it different. It's four dairy proteins in one. Two of them absorb very quickly and two absorb very slowly.
The idea is you get both ends covered for recovery, rebuilding your muscles and refueling your body, out of the same scoop.
Xendurance says the protein is in its most bioavailable form, so your body can actually absorb it. That's their claim, not something I tested.
What else is in it
It's got a complete amino acid profile. Xendurance also puts lactate in there, which they describe as your body's go-to fuel source, along with essential electrolytes, vitamin B6, B12 and vitamin D.
There's no artificial flavoring and no artificial sweeteners.
How it tastes
It comes in two flavors, chocolate and vanilla.
The chocolate is the best tasting chocolate I've ever had. It has organic cocoa powder in it.
The vanilla has a hint of cinnamon in it. To me it tastes like the milk after Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
The catches
It's dairy, all four proteins. If dairy doesn't sit well with you, look somewhere else.
The video also doesn't name the four proteins or say how many grams you get per scoop, so I'm not going to guess. Check the label for that.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want fast and slow protein in the same scoop, you avoid artificial sweeteners, and you want a shake you actually look forward to drinking.
