Since 2019, we’ve been covering AstroFlav with gusto – and for good reason. AstroFlav comes out with excellent, science-based formulas, but they really set themselves apart with their flavors.
As many supplement ingredients become more widespread and commodified, there is only so much a company can do to set themselves apart from the rest of the crowd. For AstroFlav, their edge is in their flavor systems, and it is a pronounced edge, indeed.
We’ve covered their IsoMix protein formula before, and today they’re coming out with a brand new flavor that is sure to get you desperately craving more.
Strawberry – One of the Greats
At every major supplement company, there are scores of flavor technicians tirelessly working to find novel flavors and mixes to stand out from the crowd. Sometimes, though, nothing beats the flavor goliaths: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
Today, IsoMix is getting a strawberry flavor, and it is hands-down one of our favorites to date. It’s difficult to make a strawberry flavor taste bad, but it’s equally difficult to make it taste incredible. AstroFlav has managed it.
We’re going to dive into a short summary of the IsoMix formula, and how AstroFlav got it to taste so dang good, but first let’s take a look at PricePlow for AstroFlav deals, as well as our video review on the new flavor.

IsoMix Ingredients
In each single scoop (33 gram) serving of IsoMix Strawberry, you get the following ingredients:
-
Whey Protein Isolate
Whey protein is the most popular form of protein on the supplement market for a reason. It’s highly bioavailable, meaning your body can easily absorb and utilize the protein. Absorption is what counts. It doesn’t matter how many grams of protein are in a formula if they aren’t used by the body for tissue repair. Whey protein isolate, specifically, is over 90% pure protein by weight, making controlling your macros much simpler.
Additionally, whey protein is a complete protein source, which means that it contains all nine essential amino acids, which are not produced by the body and must be obtained from the diet. There’s an incredibly long collection of research that demonstrates whey protein’s ability to help improve strength as well as body composition.
-
MCT Oil Powder
Whereas many protein powders on the market today try to have the purest protein macro profile possible, AstroFlav took a different route with IsoMix by adding MCT oil powder to the mix as part of the creaming system and a gram of good, healthy fat.
Getting good fat sources is a big deal. Unsaturated fats like canola or soybean oil are vulnerable to going rancid, even in room temperatures. Consumption of rancid fats, in turn, can be damaging to general health.
MCT oil, on the other hand, is fully saturated, making it far less vulnerable to peroxidation. Therefore, it is a cleaner, safer choice for satisfying fat requirements.
In practice, the use of an oil in a protein powder really helps the flavor become more enjoyable as a thickening agent and amplifier.
-
Inulin
Another interesting addition to the IsoMix formula is inulin, a prebiotic fiber that’s slightly sweet. Inulin has been found to improve microbiome health. IsoMix doesn’t have a huge dose of inulin, but it really adds something to the texture and taste of IsoMix that’s lacking in many other protein powders.

Other ingredients
AstroFlav opted to sweeten IsoMix with sucralose and acesulfame potassium, with some added salt for taste. There is also a thickening blend composed of xanthan gum, guar gum and sunflower lecithin.
Also note that they naturally color the strawberry flavor with beet root extract.

All AstroFlav IsoMix flavors
Don’t forget, AstroFlav IsoMix launched with six other exquisite flavors. Check out our up-to-date list below:
Strawberry – Protein Milkshakes
We all love milkshakes. The problem is, of course, that once we start taking our health seriously and counting our macros, it can be difficult to justify consuming all of those empty sugars and carbs.
Luckily, AstroFlav has formulated a high-protein, low-carb protein powder that tastes like a real, satiating strawberry milkshake.
AstroFlav’s Key To Adherence: Out of this World Flavors
Not many in the supplement game do flavors quite as well as AstroFlav. Almost every delicious addition to their lineup is a home run, and their strawberry IsoMix flavor is no exception.
It’s important to not underestimate the importance of good flavors, especially in products like protein powders. Protein is a staple in any supplemental regime, consumed regularly and often to maximize growth and recovery. The only way protein powders will be effective for improving body composition is with consistent usage, and the only way to guarantee consistent usage is to wrap them in flavors that make you look forward to your afternoon shakes.
AstroFlav sprinkles in a bit of science and a bit of art to routinely produce and release excellent flavors that always leave us wanting more.
