Personally, I buy protein powder even though I know the ingredients are actually too cheap to justify the price. But I’m too lazy, and the reward of a cold chocolate shake after working out makes me forget about the outrageous cost. It’s a little guilty pleasure I’ve come to terms with.
What protein source is cheaper than protein powder? i pay 16€/kg for whey protein
Chick peas maybe?
my whey powder has 79g Protein / 100g at €16/kg
tinned chick peas have 6.4g / 100g at €3,36 / kg
so about twice as expensive if my math is right. i guess dried and buying in bulk would seriously drop chick pea price, but also chick peas are not a complete protein and dried chick peas are quite a hassle.
I pay 42€ for 1kg. I don’t know what makes it so expencive or why your’s so cheap. Maybe because mine is vegan. I don’t know.
But Soy is quite cheap. 100g of Soy granular costs about 1,90€ and has 52g of proteins.
yes vegan will do it. i’ll look into soy granular as i’m not too happy with dairy myself.
