Deal updates for Core Power Elite 42g High Protein Shake
Core Power Elite is the highest-protein ready-to-drink shake in mainstream retail: 42 g of protein from ultra-filtered milk in a 14 fl oz bottle, with no added sugar and 900 mg of calcium. It's one of the top-selling protein drinks in the US — a post-gym staple that tastes like chocolate milk.
The number on this page comes from the Supplement Facts panel: protein per serving as printed on the label. Scoop sizes differ between brands (roughly 30–40 g of powder), so compare protein per serving and servings per container, not scoop counts.
Powder usually gives more protein per dollar and per calorie; bars win on convenience. Check the same two numbers on both: protein per serving and calories per serving.
