3.27Ā¢/g Protein - Optimum Nutrition Whey Blend (Isolate > Concentrate)Price: $22.79 for 2 lbs.10.8% of Protein is Leucine77.4% of mass is Protein80% of calories are Protein
Example:
- MyProtein Whey Protein Isolate claims to be 88% protein by mass, or 400g of protein per pound.
- ON Gold Standard claims to be 75% protein by mass, or 340g of protein per pound.
So, MyP at $11/lb provides more protein per dollar than ON at $10/lb.
That said, no protein will be a good deal at $13/lb, and most will be a good deal at $8, so it's still good for estimating.
Isopure is the worst for this. 100% of calories are from protein, but only 80% of mass. They intentionally add non-caloric fillers to bring down the cost per pound.

This is my thought. Sounds like it would be good in a creami.

That's my thought as well, I know for almost a fact these flavors would be incredible in my creami.

Gonna try a vanilla base with apple sauce and apple pie filling mix
I agree.
Caloric fillers can make a product a no-buy for me. I use powder more when I'm cutting, so extra fat and carbs are not welcome.
Non caloric fillers are usually innocuous - they don't bother me as long as I'm not being fooled into paying for them instead of protein. If there's a lot of filler, I might try to figure out what it is from the ingredient list. Sometimes they are beneficial, like creatine or micronutrients, but I'm still not willing to pay for them. Id rather take that stuff separately so I can dose it properly.

If sucralose bothers you, I would recommend an unflavored powder as your most economical route. You can sweeten/flavor it any way you would like and don't have to pay the premium that some of the "super-natural" brands charge.
