I exclusively use proteins from Nutrabio. All products very high quality. Im hooked on their grass fed beef protein. With that said protein prices are up what 40-50% in the last year .... WTF
I bought 2 of these awhile back and then the large bags of Optimum Nutrition Vanilla and Chocolate and I a 1 scoop of unflavored to one scoop of the flavored and it tastes great to me, Chica makes pancakes and muffins etc with this in it all the time.My guess is none of the people anyone is mentioning actually manufacture any of the proteins they sell. There are only a small number of dairy whey producers in the US.
What the guys do is buy protein (hopefully US sourced) and mix it with other things. It comes in 20kg bags. I have lost my ability to source it direct, but there are several places you can buy from that essentially are repacking these in smaller batches.
Costs have actually come down. Whey peaked about 1 1/2 years ago when 'protein' was the new buzz word for every added ingredient in drinks...etc.
You should not need to pay more than 7-8$/lb. And yes, that is for the best protein that can be sourced. I have bought a few years back as cheap as $5/lb. But that was when I could get Glanbia direct.
Stock up before the diesel shortage kicks in as well as the RR strike.........ha!
