Nutricost Been using it for years and I’m very happy with the amount of protein, the flavor, and the affordability. https://a.co/d/1DMxrn2
There are a few facets to this: cost, calories, lead content. It's also worth noting that different products have different serving sizes, which each have differing protein and calorie content. It's difficult to compare across products, for that reason. I've been doing research on products and have settled on "per 100g protein" as a metric. Here are a few suggestions: * Cheapest: Nutricost Whey Protein Powder, $2.79 and 480 calories/100g protein. No lead testing. * With lead testing: Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, $4.18 and 500 calories/100g protein, 1.2 mcg lead/100g protein (low) * Lowest calories: Isopure Zero Carb, $6.13 and 400 calories/100g protein. No lead testing. * With lead testing: Muscle Feast Grass-Fed, $6.10 and 423 calories/100g protein, 0 mcg lead/100g protein (very low) I hope this helps! If you'd like more detail about a particular product, or in general, let me know!
Bingo! This is the cheapest I've found - $2.79 per 100g of protein, and at the lower end of calories (480 calories per 100g protein).
One thing I’ve learned is that you should mix with milk, almond milk, or even a bit of peanut butter for flavor if the powder itself is plain. Adding frozen fruit or cocoa powder can make it way more palatable. Also pls don’t fall for any overmarketed bs on tiktok or any ‘trending’ powders that don’t have real nutrition backing, stick to brands with lab-tested ingredients and clear protein counts. The one you got is a decent pick actually, tastes good and mixes well. It’s whey isolate so you get a pretty clean protein hit. [Nutricost’s powder](https://noxohub.github.io/radar/?q=OGJ83471) is also a good one, similar to willah, just cheaper.
Nutricost isolate for sure
Nutricost isolate has been great
Very good price too on amazon
Ive used a few and it mixes great, tastes great, is multiple 3rd party tested and its about as lean as any protein can be. I think there comes a point where when you check enough boxes there realy isnt an individual best
Just get the nutricost isolate on amazon.
This stuff is gross imo sorry
If you've ever tried to reach out to them to see the results from their third party testing you might feel differently. They completely refused to provide any information without a purchase order #, and even then some of the tests contained "proprietary information" and couldn't be shared. I did eventually get them to admit that if a batch of product has an unsafe amount of lead the most they will do is put a prop65 warning on it.
I'm well aware, which is why I ask companies for results. It is alarming/annoying/shady the degree for which nutricost hides their results.
I use nutricost too just because it's so damn cheap. That price is hard to beat. Is it the best? Idk. It's better than running out because I haven't got paid yet.
