Thread: Protein powder???

Hey guys,

Iv been trying to get more protein in my diet recently but due to lots of allergies I have, Iv been finding myself eating chicken 24/7 lol .. Iv been seeing alot of recipes around using protein powders which means I can increase my protein without eating the entire worlds supply of chicken lol ..

My only problem is that it seems to be pretty expensive! I had a look in tesco and on the internet and it seems they only sell big tubs for around £20-£30! I only want a small tub to trial and see how I get on with it so does anyone have any ideas where I can buy some protein powder without spending and arm and a leg?!

Most protein powder is around £20-30 per tub... You could try holland and barrets they keep a range and may have smaller samples for sale. There's also a high street shop called GMC that specialises in protein powder and supplements, google and see if there's one near you.

If you find one you like, the cheapest way to buy the bigger tubs is usually an online supplier, but obviously for small samples it's usually not very cheap as p&p is disproportionate to the size of what you're buying.

If you have a lot of allergies, check the small print of the powder you are buying. Most are made from whey protein (dairy), some are made from soy protein, others are made from more unusual sources.

Oh thanks for the allergy reminder, will definitely check the label before i buy anything!

Il give holland and barret a try and see if they have anything

THeres a website discount supplements that do single sachets for you to try or smaller bags of whey they seem reasonably priced and have free delivery

Im pretty sure myprotein do single doses of protein. It comes in bottles and you can get one for under £2.

Check out the holland and Barrett website they sometimes have the whey protein powder on offer at half price and it tastes great too xxx

Another alternative to protein powder is powdered milk. You can pick it up from most supermarkets and it contains about 20% protein once mixed with the recommended amount of water.

I've found pretty good ones one ebay, the best ones to pick have around 70% or more protein per 100g and as few additives as possible like sweeteners etc
I personally get concentrated grass fed hormone free whey protein but it's pretty pricey.

I buy from myprotein.com. I'm thinking of trying holland and barratt as its cheap and supposedly good. But you can get individual sachets from myprotein.
