Whey Protein Review

True Protein specializes in custom-mixed protein supplements at reasonable prices. The cost of a tub of protein depends on the types of protein and additional components you add to your mix. They carry soy isolate, whey isolate and concentrate, casein, egg, egg white, gemma (pea), and hemp protein as well as over 2 dozen flavorings that can be used with any of the above and your choice of sweeteners, including Stevia.

You can either choose one of their basic formulas (just one type of protein + flavor + sweetener + vitamin mix) or pre-mixed solutions, or go crazy mixing up your own pre-, during-, and post-workout combos with their Custom Mix program. The per pound price of your custom mix updates on the fly so you can see how much your super mix will cost. My co-worker went the latter route and has his own pre- and post-workout mixes.

I'd rather just have straight protein and add my choice of healthy fat or carb to it, so went with basic protein with flavoring and no vitamin/minerals. I ordered the sample pack of 13 premium whey isolate flavors, 1 lb of citrus lime-ade gemma protein, 1 lb of premium French vanilla gemma protein, and 2 lbs of premium Dutch chocolate soy isolate protein. Total cost was $44.88, which is about how much 5 lbs of Dymatize Elite would cost me with shipping.

(I'm trying to move away from the dairy-based proteins because I have been unusually itchy since I started using protein powder in 3 of my daily meals with the SGX program.)

What I really appreciate is that I can order in increments of just 1 lb at a time in case I don't like a flavor, and I don't have to pay any more per pound for the small order than I would for 5 lbs at a time. They also sell JUST their flavoring powders alone for ~$4 per packet. Each packet supposedly contains enough flavoring for 10-15 lbs of protein powder depending on how strong you like your shakes.
