Mutant Hardcore ISO is a whey protein isolate powder in a 727 g (1.6 lb) tub. This is the Vanilla Ice Cream flavour. One 31 g scoop lists 110 calories and 25 g of protein, with 1 g of fat and 1 g of carbohydrate, so the tub gives about 23 scoops. The protein comes from whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolysate, the first two ingredients on the label.
Nutrition per scoop
The Vanilla Ice Cream panel lists 25 g of protein, 110 calories, 1 g of fat (0.5 g saturated), 1 g of carbohydrate with less than 1 g of sugars, 10 mg of cholesterol and 60 mg of sodium. It also lists 160 mg of calcium and 0.6 mg of iron. There are no added sugars.
What goes into the powder
The Vanilla Ice Cream powder is whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolysate, followed by natural and artificial flavours and a natural cream flavour. Lactase and protease enzymes are part of the formula, and MCT oil from fractionated coconut and sunflower lecithin let the powder dissolve with a shaker rather than a blender. Sucralose and stevia sweeten it.
Hardcore ISO and ISO SURGE
Mutant sold this isolate as ISO SURGE before renaming it Hardcore ISO. The size stayed at 727 g (1.6 lb). Some stock still ships in the earlier ISO SURGE tub, and the photo on this page may show that design. The contents per scoop are the figures above.
How to use it
Mix one scoop with 150 to 180 mL of cold water or milk. Water keeps the shake at the label figures; milk adds its own protein, fat and calories. Many people take a scoop after training or between meals, and a second scoop on days when food alone falls short of their protein target.
Hardcore ISO contains milk and tree nut (coconut). Keep the tub sealed and dry between uses.
Using it in food
The powder also works outside a shaker. Stir a scoop into oatmeal or plain yogurt after cooking, or blend it with frozen fruit and milk for a thicker drink. Heat can make whey clump, so add it to warm food at the end rather than boiling it in. A level scoop is the 31 g measured on the panel.
