boardn10 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Hey all, Money is tight right now, so I cut out protein powder and I am in the middle of a mass gaining phase. Any thoughts on a cheap protein powder? I believe Trader Joe's has a Soy Protein for $10.99 and it is a large jug. Any others? Not on-line please. I am also looking for sugar free. Maybe just tofu? Thanks,Rich Edited February 17, 2012 by boardn10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Tempeh had more protein than tofu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Gnc gold card gets you a discount on stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardn10 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I didn't want to pay shipping. How much is shipping at Pure protein? Looks like they don't list the amount of servings per container. GNC card? Still cheaper than T Joes? I am also looking for sugar free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I pay about $12 with my gold card from GNC and it is sugar free only has 11g protein though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Nuts Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I like mixing my own pea/rice/hemp 40/30/30 or so at http://truenutrition.com/p-1126-custom-mix.aspxBut cheapest local to me would definitely be Genisoy with 25g protein and 0 carbs. I don't use soy powder much any more but at around $10 it is a good bang for buck and the numbers are good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardn10 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Man I really miss whey protein powder. All the vegetarian protein powders are so nasty!!!!!! A friend gave me 3 lbs of hemp protein that he didn't like. It is 18 grams a serving and tastes like a glass of mud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I had some pretty nasty protein powder at one time and mixed it in Naked green machine.... Only way I could get it down. Jarrows I can drink straight and double the scoops but try to get most of my protein from meals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend gave me 3 lbs of hemp protein that he didn't like. It is 18 grams a serving and tastes like a glass of mud! Are you vegan or vegetarian? As most whey proteins are vegetarian, obviously if you were vegan then you wouldn't use it. I tired a vegan diet for a month, using hemp & soy powders. I liked the natural taste of the hemp (also strawberry) but the texture was horrible. The soy powder was simply revolting... Shame you guys don't have myprotein there. Such a great company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardn10 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Never heard of MyProtein company. I go back and forth between vegan and vegetarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiesasquatch Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 They're a great company & they clearly label everything even before you click on the item http://www.myprotein.com/uk/cats/protein/best-sellers They do pea, rice proteins to. But I live in the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealionnn Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If you aren't set on powders, Trader Joe's also has a store brand soy milk with no sugar added, which is like 40g protein for a dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardn10 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have stopped protein powders. I believe they are a waste. Just eat enough calories and a varied diet and the protein will handle itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am finishing off 5 lbs. and going to order 20 lbs soon. They have a new pea/hemp/rice mix that is cheaper than blending yourself and it has a great profile. Add stevia and some flavors for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
