OWYN Pro Elite High Plant Based Protein Shake Chocolate: Flavor & Nutrition Review
After reviewing the regular OWYN shake earlier, the OWYN Pro Elite Chocolate stood out for its promise of 35g of plant protein, zero sugar and keto friendly macros. We have also been seeing it more frequently on Target shelves and the label marked "new and improved" it felt worth a closer look.
We tested it for flavor, sweetness, texture, nutrition and how well it works as a post-workout shake, meal replacement or a high protein drink.

OWYN Pro Elite Chocolate Review
Flavor
Dark, cocoa forward chocolate with slightly bitter notes. Not sweet or dessert-like (use monk fruit for sweetness), OWYN uses black cocoa for these protein shakes along with regular cocoa powder.
Texture
Thick and dense in drinkability. Can feel heavy if not shaken well. Blending improves smoothness significantly.
Sweetness Level
Very low natural sweetness. Great for people avoiding sweet protein shakes, but not ideal for those who prefer rich or sugary flavors.
Best Time to Drink
Pre workout & Post workout recovery Meal replacement when protein needs are high Long gaps between meals Strength training or cutting phases

What We Think About OWYN Pro Elite High Plant Based Protein Shake Chocolate?
If you like dark chocolate and don't mind a little bitterness, especially if you like plant based drinks, then you may really be into these. A high-protein, plant-based shake built for performance, recovery, and clean nutrition, best for serious protein needs. It's hard to find a plant-based shake with more than 30 grams of protein, so that's a big plus, but the taste is just okay.
