Haven't tried that but the calorie to protein ratio is pretty good.   I bet sugar free chocolate Torani syrup would kick it up a notch....  shop.torani.com/Sugar-Free-Chocolate-Syrup/p/TOR-371490&c=To rani@SugarFreeSyrups

ive used this syrup for many items. Most recently an accidental pour into my greek yogurt instead of the cherry I wanted to pour in. It was almost chocolate pudding like with a hint of tartness. I gather your assumption is right. Ad this to any beverage or food item and it will kick up the choco-flavor a notch or three.

 I use Hersheys SF chocolate syrup and Toranis SF peanut butter with my pure protein powder.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and peanut butter together but after so many weeks of vanilla and fruity shakes, this sounds AMAZING. May be going shopping tonight on the way home from work. :)

I have often used the unsweetened cocoa to boost the chocolate level in the protein drinks, and it helps to cut the sweetness of those that are overly sweetened; the Torani or Hershey SF syrups are good to add some sweetness along with the chocolate flavor. A little peppermint extract (very little) can also be used to change its character some. I always mixed it with skim milk for better consistency and an added boost of protein.

You can also mix the protein powder into some SF pudding to make a hi pro dessertish snack, or throw in some greek yogurt to tart it up some; I rarely had the protein shakes by themselves with blending something into them. Later on when I was less in need of added protein, I mixed them half and half with SF instant breakfast to broaden its nutritional profile at a small cost in protein. There's lots of things that you can do with them - have some fun with it.

The pre-mixed bottles of Pure Protein Frost Chocolate flavor are the only protein drinks I can stomach any longer. I drink one every morning for breakfast. The pre-made ones (come in a 4-pack) are 23gms of protein and 120 calories.
