Our take on the Fairlife Core Power Elite High Protein Shake, Chocolate

Fairlife Core Power Elite is a ready-to-drink chocolate milk protein shake with 42g of milk protein per 14 oz bottle, aimed at post-workout recovery. It uses ultrafiltered milk, so the protein is real dairy protein with all 9 essential amino acids, plus calcium and vitamin D3. Each bottle has 7g of total sugars, 3.5g of fat and no added sugar, with 230 calories. It is sold as a 12-pack, and the latest best price sits near the low end of its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is Core Power Elite worth it over regular Core Power?
Elite has 42g of protein per bottle versus 26g in the standard Core Power, at a higher price. If you want one bottle to cover a full post-workout dose, Elite is the simpler pick.
How does it compare with a whey shake?
It is milk protein, a mix of casein and whey, so it digests slower than pure whey. It is ready to drink with no mixing, but costs more per gram of protein than powder.
Does it need refrigeration?
It is sold shelf-stable and tastes best chilled. Refrigerate after opening and drink within a few days.
Is it lactose-free?
No. It is made from real milk and contains lactose, so it is not for people with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy.
What is in the 12-pack?
The pack holds 12 bottles. This listing is a three-flavor variety pack, so you get a mix of flavors rather than 12 chocolate bottles.
When is it cheapest?
Multipack prices swing with store promotions and subscription discounts. Buying the 12-pack on sale beats single bottles, and the latest best price is near the low end of its recent range.
