Whey Protein, who's your hookup?

At Large Nutrition. You'll never go back. Price comparison, ingredients and scoops per servigs. Its the best quality for the money. They also give Mil discounts to your account. Also the CEO and Owner will always email or call you back himself if there is an issue. Hes a good dude.
 
If you guys want to by dymatize or ON protein Check out this website for weekly deal. I purchase two 5lb dymatize for $78 and they provide code for free shipping.

Just wondering where everyone gets their whey from.

I just finished up a 5lb tub of SmartPowders vanilla icecream whey for 37.99. 72 servings, and 22g protein per scoop. It surprisingly tasted great for how cheap it was. They also offer a 10lb'er for $70.99

Found another site called TrueNutrition that sold bulk/custom orders. You could mix/blend proteins, add enzymes/electrolytes/vitamins/minerals for .60-.80 cents per lb. Whey protein concentrate on there was 7.39lb with a discount offered at 16+ lbs. I haven't heard anything about them, so I'm hesitant to order.

If anyone has a decent source for cheap protein, post em up! The norm seems to be $45-60 for 5lbers. Protein doesn't last in my house, so I don't really care for anything other than price/servings.

I tend to use Syntha 6, ordered from vitacost. Over $50 gets you free shipping. I usually order a couple 5lb containers and lots of times you can find a coupon code for another 5-10% off.. You can also subscribe to auto ship and get an extra discount.

I have heard good things about Dave Draper's Bomber Blend but it can be a bit pricey (but then again it can be worth it to treat your body right rather than save a couple bucks IMO).

I also cruise Amazon as I have Prime (1/2 off for students lol)... Lots of times when you favor in the free shipping you can find some really great deals on stuff.

Hope this helps out
 
Pea protein technically it isn't paleo (legume). Paleo Pro makes a beef and egg protein mix that is compliant with most paleo regimes (not compliant if you are doing immune protocol paleo since it has egg protein). It runs $40 a lb though. I have Vega sport protein powder (it's "vegan", but that's not why I'm trying it) on my list to try (pea, saviseed, rice) just to see how it works in comparison to the whey protein I use daily. It's good to mix up protein powders on occasion.

Also, last time I checked you can't buy raw whey in the US due to the FDA requirement that commercially sold milk has to be pasteurized. I can understand if it was low temperature processed (higher levels of glutathione), but that would still technically be "denatured". Be careful when you are looking for quality whey, there are a lot of posers out there.

Decent review and article. There is a file available for download that shows the entire rankings. Good read.

They didn't take taste into account, which is paramount for almost everyone. For example, while MusclePharm was ranked high, I find the taste to be over the top in terms of sweetness, it is akin to eating spoons of sugar (in terms of flavor, it's artificially sweetened with acesulfame K). Cheaper in price per unit doesn't always equate to quality. Good read though.

True, but taste can be fairly subjective. Just look at protein reviews on BB.com. 90% use taste as the main method of rating the protein powder, instead of other more important anecdotal evidence such as "it made my heart feel like it's going to explode" or "I felt great and full all day", etc.

If taste is an issue, making a smoothie in a blender can cure that right up.
 
On top of the Pro-Supps Whey, I've been taking the Quest blend. The Chocolate was really good, blends pretty thick in even 8oz of water. Currently taking the peanut butter, been tending to take it in the AM for a snack and the Pro-Supps following my evening lift. Has anyone tried Scivation Whey?
 
I've been a fan of this for the last couple months: BodyLogix Grass-Fed Whey. Nice neutral vanilla taste, grass-fed (if that sort of thing is important to you; I like not wondering what feed lot remnants are trickling down to me). Easy/free shipping with Prime, 1g Fat/3g Carbs/1g Sugar so not very impactful other than the 24g Protein. They also make a Chocolate flavor that's even cheaper.

That and about 587 Cookies and Cream Quest Bars a week. :dead:
 
I'll throw out us.myprotein.com. They're great to buy in bulk from, and have deals all the time. 25% off your first purchase, they sell an 11lb bag of unflavored impact whey protein that I got, with two discounts, for a little under $50. Good pure protein I use to mix with fruit and whatnot. It tastes like garbage on its on to me, but it's cheap as hell and great to mix.
 
Pea protein is actually decent stuff, good in a blend, it's very cheap, and it's high in polyphenols, like green tea (just don't take it with dairy, which binds to those polyphenols and renders them useless).

I use a vegan protein almost solely now. I also use a naturally sweetened whey here and there. I'm not vegan, but I'm down with eating more varied sources of everything, and avoiding artificial sweeteners where I can.
 
Anyone find a whey protein that doesn't taste like I just ate my pocket full of change!? The "metallic"-like aftertaste of typical powders is as much why I've gone to the vegan proteins as anything. Still not perfect, but better.

I'd gladly pay a premium if I could find a powder that actually sincerely tasted good. (milk chocolate)

Anybody old enough to remember these... man I loved those things as a kid!
 
Full disclaimer: I rep for these guys online. SAN Rawfusion is vegan, and 3 out of 4 flavors are genuinely good. They also have 100% natural whey, nothing artificial, and both chocolate are very tasty.

The best tasting protein on earth is XF 2.0. Holy. Shit.
