That's why I posed it as a question if there was a cheaper way to go about making your own protein blend. When I said cheap I didn't mean cheap quality. I wanted to know if there was a raw unmixed whey powder you can buy in bulk. No added flavor no nothing and inexpensive enough to add the other essentials minus the sugars or artificial sweeteners and any other things i may not want in it. Guess I should have been more specific.
even a cheap powder contains plenty of bcaas my friend - is what protein is constructed of
a quality powder, also will not have all of these impurities you speak of..
i guess my issue is, your approach
everyone wants a good bargain, and you can buy decent powder (all things for that matter) cheaper online, than in any brick & mortar store you'll find
(unless said brick & mortar matches online pricing, but even then they usually charge s&h you would otherwise pay online etc)
i guess my point is:
would you rather pay $2000 for a brand new Yugo (may be before your time lol)..
a car that you know will break down and you'll throw it away in 2yrs time?
or would you rather spend that $ on a down pymt, for something that will provide much more reliability, comfort, and bottom-line value, but you may have to make monthly payments on?
