I snag the [gnc vanilla powder](https://www.gnc.com/whey-protein/379968.html#start=1). It’s like $25 for 12 servings. It’s always on sale online for buy 1 get 1 50% off. I snag 2 at a time so it’s $1.56/per serving.
I did just learn of [this](https://www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein-powders-and-shakes-contain-high-levels-of-lead-a4206364640/) study on lead in protein powders and may change the powder I use tho
For a basic protein shake: mix 1 scoop with 10oz of fairlife fat free. (210 calories, 42g protein, $2.55/serving) (I diversify this but including cocoa powder, pbfit [extra 8g protein], and/or frozen strawberries/bananas)
For a bulkier protein shake: mix 1/2 cup oikos fat free vanilla Greek yogurt, 10oz fairlife fat free, 2 tbsp pbfit, drizzle of chocolate syrup (350 calories, 58.5G protein, $4.20/serving)
For sure. Levels Vanilla comes pretty well recommended on this sub but after investing $90ish on a 5# tub I was wildly disappointed. It tastes very bland compared to GNC pro performance whey vanilla.
I recently bought a tub of Orgain vanilla vegan protein powder at Costco. It's obnoxiously sweet and it's going to take me a long time to get through it. I also bought some unflavored whey protein powder from GNC, their brand. It's not gross, and so far, I have no issue with it. I only use it in smoothies. Neither type gives me digestive/intestinal issues, which I know is problematic for some.
I use the GNC Pro Performance, I haven’t noticed any issues from it. I do 2 scoops in unsweetened almond milk with a splash of cream for a bit of extra fat
