Animal-based Complete Protein Powder (Chocolate)

Rich chocolate flavor with 20g of complete nose-to-tail nutrition per scoop.

🥩 20g complete grass-fed protein, plus organs, colostrum, and fruit.

💪 Mixes clean. No gums, fillers, or artificial sweeteners.

🍫 Real chocolate from organic, Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa. Low in heavy metals.

✅ Third-party tested for 300+ contaminants. COAs published.

Original (unflavored): Mild and neutral with no added flavor. The milk and whey concentrate blend mixes smooth into water, milk, coffee, smoothies, and baking. A lot of people have sensitivities, so we wanted the purest possible product with no flavors and no sweeteners, so anyone can thrive on it.

Chocolate: Rich chocolate from organic alkalized cocoa, sweetened only with organic coconut sugar. No artificial sweeteners. Mixes smooth into water or milk.

Yes. Tested for 300+ common contaminants including glyphosate, mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides. COAs are published at the top of our product pages, and you can always email hello@lineageprovisions.com for a copy or more information.

We hold every ingredient to the same standard: pasture-raised cattle, year-round, third-party validated rather than self-reported. We process as little as possible. Organs are freeze-dried at low temperature, with no heavy chemical processing. We don't strip ingredients down just to rebuild them.

Because there's nothing in it to force it not to. No lecithin, no emulsifiers, no gums. Use a blender bottle or our frother and it's smooth in seconds.

100% money-back guarantee. Try it. If it's not for you, we refund you! That’s how confident we are in our products.

Our ABC Dairy recipe as of June 2026 includes milk and whey protein concentrates. Milk and whey protein concentrate are naturally low in lactose, and many people who struggle with dairy do fine with high-quality concentrates. This product contains milk. If you have a true milk allergy, it's not for you. Covered by our money-back guarantee.

Yes. Organic, Rainforest Alliance Certified, sustainably sourced. Cocoa can contain heavy metals, so we tested more than a dozen sources, chose the one lowest in heavy metals, and test it to confirm it stays that way.

Always prioritize real food in its whole form. Animal-Based Complete is a supplement designed to build on that foundation, adding complete protein and the organ nutrition most people never get from their diet. Use it every day to fill the gaps, or lean on it harder when life makes real meals tough.

Rave Reviews from The World's Best

We're Lineage. We make real food easy.

Dr. paul saladino, MD
Dr. Anthony Gustin, DC

Founded by Paul Saladino, MD, and Anthony Gustin, DC. We obsess over sourcing, quality, taste, and transparency, working with the best farms and producers we can find who share our ethos of regenerative practices that heal the earth.

We built Animal-Based Complete because what we wanted didn't exist: an easy way to get complete protein and real organ nutrition, with none of the junk.

Read our story

Nutrition Free From Fakery

Most all-in-one powders rebuild nutrition from synthetic, isolated nutrients. We start with real food instead: complete grass-fed protein, 800mg of organs, colostrum, and organic fruit. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

And while Paul Saladino doesn’t eat chocolate, we created this for those who want to indulge in the cleanest way possible. Many of you asked for flavored options, so we crafted this with the utmost care and quality.

Real Food And Nothing Else

Real food should be the base of any good diet, and when you supplement you should be adding more of it, not an ultra-processed version. So you won't find xanthan gum, silicon dioxide, lecithins, flavors, alternative sweeteners, or proprietary blends here. We test every ingredient for 300+ common contaminants, including glyphosate, mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides.

Always grass-fed.

We hold our protein to the same standard as every ingredient we use: cattle raised on pasture year-round, not seasonally, with sourcing that is third-party validated, not self-reported. Then we process as little as possible. Organs are freeze-dried at low temperature to protect their nutrients, with no heavy chemical processing and no heat on the ingredients that need it most. We do less on purpose, because it leaves more of the real food intact.

    PROTEIN THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME BLOATED

    I’ve been taking this protein for two years now and I’ve never had an issue with digestion or bloating!

    I have no gallbladder so I always have to watch what I eat and this checks every box.

    Thank you to Dr. Paul and Lineage provisions for creating such an amazing protein brand

    I put this protein powder in my morning smoothies every day and eat protein bars like they are candy.

    It’s very hard to resist lineage provisions, protein powder, and protein bars.

    You’ve created a raving fan lol

    Thank you again!

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bar

    I support Dr. Saladino and all his efforts to make bars that are very nutritious. I have tried the Chocolate Chip cookie dough bar. The bar tastes wonderful. Just one thing--it is not functional for eating on-the-go. Just opening the package gets chocolate all over my hands and therefore what I touch. Maybe just leave the chocolate out. The bar would still taste wonderful.

    WHY DID YOU CUANGE THE RECIPE?

    I can’t give anything lower than 5 stars even thought I’m really bummed about the recipe change. I really enjoyed the beef protein isolate instead of the whey, but it’s still the best protein powder in the market. Any chance you all could make the non-dairy version again?

    Still a great product. Disappointed in the formula change.

    My wife and I have been using the AB chocolate protein for over a year now. We have always loved it! Great flavor and ingredients. Unfortunately one of our favorite parts was the inclusion of beef protein over dairy. We tried it after the change and it's still a good protein powder, but we will not be ordering again.

    tastes great

    My husband has been taking the chocolate for about 4 bags. He loves it. I messed up on the timing of the subscription, and we had to buy a different protein powder, and he was beside himself that he had to have the Lineage powder. He said that the other powder didn't last but about an hour before he was needing to eat. With the Lineage he has breakfast with it and can wait until lunch time to eat again. I am now more careful to make sure we receive the powder before he runs out.

    Chocolate Protein

    So far I love the flavor, it's best drank with whole milk so you don't taste the organs as much. It is satisfying and satiating. But like the Nose to Tail Collagen, I wish it didn't have the Prop 95 California Cancer Warning label on it. The company said everything is fine, but you need to be completely transparent about that on the Website too! Thank You

    Hi Linda!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback about our Animal-Based Complete - Dairy Protein (Chocolate). I'm really glad to hear that you're loving the flavor and finding it satisfying and satiating - that means a lot to us.

    I genuinely hear your concern about the Prop 65 California Cancer Warning label, and I appreciate you being straightforward about wanting more transparency on our website regarding this. We include the Prop 65 label for full compliance and transparency, not because our products present any meaningful risk.

    Prop 65 sets extremely low threshold limits for certain naturally occurring substances—including trace heavy metals found naturally in clean soil, plants, and whole foods. While our products test far below levels considered harmful, California law requires the warning on products sold in the state if trace elements are present at all.

    Our standards go well beyond what the law requires. Every single batch is third-party tested for over 300 contaminants, and we make those test results available on our website product pages so you can see exactly what goes into every bag.

    Your feedback about wanting complete transparency on this matter is valuable to us, and I'm going to make sure this gets shared with our team so we can look at how we're presenting this information to customers like you who care about having all the details.

    Best regards,
    Lineage Provisions Customer Care

    Good stuff

    I have this semi regularly to add a little protein but mostly as another way to get the organ supplements. Tastes good mixes well and is priced well.

Original (unflavored): A mild beef flavor, since there's no other flavoring added. The taste is fairly neutral, so it incorporates easily into whatever drink you'd like without affecting the taste. We intentionally left it unflavored so you can use it however you want. A lot of people have sensitivities, so we wanted the purest possible product with no flavors and no sweeteners, so anyone can thrive on it.

It can. So we tested more than a dozen sources, chose the one lowest in heavy metals, and test it to confirm it stays that way!

While Paul Saladino follows a strict diet that doesn’t include cocoa, we recognize that many people enjoy the flavor and benefits of chocolate. Cocoa is a natural ingredient with some benefits. It contains antioxidants, can support mood enhancement in some studies, and contains compounds that may support heart health.

While we maintain a nutrient-dense, animal-based profile in our Animal-Based Complete, the addition of cocoa offers a great flavor along with some extra benefits, without the guilt or processed, added sugar chocolate found in other protein powders.

For those who want a delicious, nutrient-dense protein powder with chocolate flavor, ABC Chocolate is a fantastic choice.

And if you prefer to avoid cocoa, we also offer our original ABC formula without any added flavor.
