Protein.... How did I miss this option for so long?!!

Yes it is, I'm not blind and neither is your wife!

Been thinking about this, tbh, if I had the means I might have done the same thing. Supp stores make me feel like a kid in Toys R Us. I'm jelly.
NOW makes some suprisingly good stuff for cheap, i like their GABA.

GABA is also a staple of mine.

I do 99%+ of my shopping online. There are several sites I watch and keep lookout for sales. When there is a good one, I stock up. Protein has gone up so much, that when I see a good deal, I order a bunch!

Not saying this because it is their site....but bb.com has given me the best service. So if they stock the item, and I see a lower price, I will just call cust service and they will price match. Easy as pie....and they match cart for cart. (so often the shipping is less too). Last order I saved $22. Sure, you dont get the t-shirt...but I have about 10 of them anyway!

Mhmm. I do the same, over this side of the pond myprotein.com do 4Kg bags of unflavoured or 5Kg bags of flavoured. Isolate is just one of the choices available. Unflavoured doesn't really taste of anything, it isn't exactly unpleasant on its own but it isn't really something you'd look forward to drinking either. After a while mixing it with tasty things became a bit of a chore so I just swallowed the extra price of the pre-flavoured stuff next time around.

I am a big believer in keeping in keeping protein levels up. I eat between 235 and 285g/ day (depending on phase of diet)

Besides about a lb of meat a day(chicken, lean beef, pork...etc) I make the rest up in whey (and milk).

I have tried TONS of protein and my wife calls my supplement closet GNC. (here is an old pic when I cleaned it out) And this was not all my whey!

OK back to my point. I thought I had tried just about everything. My favorites were generally based on flavor but lately I have grown tired of almost everything. Many taste good.....but just a little too strong on the flavoring.

The other day I was searching for a new option and I came across somthing I had not considered.

NOW UNFLAVORED ISOLATE.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/now/whey.html

The quality of this is second to none. Cold process micro filtered. (meaning it has not had the micronutrients stripped away like in ion exchange.
It is 90+% protein by weight. 25g pro, 1g carb, .3 g fat.

If you look at the cost per g of protein, despite being the best quality you can get....it is actually about the cheapest protein out there. (bb.com will price match as I just got my bag for $85)

The taste is so neutral, I am thinking of all the things I can mix it in. Thinking of trying a little sugar free lemonade (similar to Xtreeme formulations arctic lemonade). I will be experimenting over the next few weeks.

One thing I have been doing is mixing this 1/2 and 1/2 with my regular whey. That for me just about makes the taste perfect!

For those looking for protein options....this is a great one!

Thought I would share
