As prices have going up lately for prepared whey protein, and to keep my wallet from emptying so quickly, I've decided to purchase bulk, unflavored whey isolate. Eleven pounds for $119.00 with free shipping sounded good to me. I've been purchasing whey protein at a local l store for $80 for 4lbs, no brainer to make the switch. The only ingredients that i can see that make the store-bought whey different are egg protein, and bromelain. I can get bromelain in caps no problem, the egg protein I'm sure just how much benefit comes from the addition of it. I can even buy some protease as well for indigestion/absorption. Hell, with that amount of savings, why not?
So, here's what im thinking: My current whey protein has .5gr of cane sugar per serving (I'll double check that later). I'll get some unsweetened cocoa powder to add to the shake, which I'll probably do trial and error to get the correct amount. Then, I can add the requisite amount of cane sugar to taste. Guess I'll start with the amount on the store bought whey's label , and adjust from that point.
I'm curious whether any of you use unflavored, bulk whey, and if so, do u have a formula that you have found to work well. I don't use fruit in my shakes, by the way, too much work, and too much fructose.
As an aside, I'm also considering fabricating my own pre workout drink. I think this is going to be fun
