Looking for a FAB whey protein powder that won't break the bank?

AllieCat0817 · 08-06-2008, 03:14 PM

CHAMPION NUTRITION COOKIES N CREAM Pure Whey Protein Stack!!!!!!!!!!!!
My new favorite.

My original fave was Jay Robb. But I was going thru it too fast and the price was too high for that.

I then tried PVL Whey Gourmet chocolate peanut butter, 2 lb for around $27. Delish, became a new favorite.

Well Char suggested Champion Nutrition brand and OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got cookies n cream flavor. FIVE POUNDS FOR $35! The taste is INCREDIBLE. And the price is RIGHT. I cant wait to try more of their flavors-- Char likes Banana Scream (cant wait to try that).

This stuff is SO good. Eating it now in my yogurt.

I'ma try it! Where can I find this?

daisyHair · 08-06-2008, 04:34 PM

Is this from GNC?
sounds great.

AllieCat0817 · 08-06-2008, 04:45 PM

Netrition sells it..not sure which retail stores have it. I bought it online (but not from Netrition). The stuff is great and inexpensive.

Charski · 08-06-2008, 04:45 PM

Glad you like it, AllieCat! That Banana Scream is SO good I've not tried any of their other flavors. The shake I make with it (along with cocoa powder and natural PB) makes the BEST Chocolate/Banana/PB milkshake you ever set your lips to smackin'!

5 lbs for $35?? wow!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this!
I too, am a JR fan but need a less pricey alternative so MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!!!

hummingbird11 · 08-06-2008, 05:25 PM

rats! it contains acesulfame (K) potassium and sucralose.
guess i will have to stick with JR's stevia sweetened for now.

Contains milk derived products. Produced in a facility that processes milk, egg, and crustacean shellfish derivatives. In Addition: Pure Whey also contains excellent amounts of the non-essential amino acids.

Ingredients: Mirco-filtered and ion-exchanged whey protein concentrate and isolate, whey peptides, natural and artificial flavoring, xanthan gum, salt, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, carrageenan, yellow #5.

hmmmm

sounds yummy

AllieCat0817 · 08-06-2008, 06:01 PM

I can't wait to try banana scream. I was on vaca last week and every day we went to this organic hormone free hippie type restaurant for brunch. Every day I had a banana coconut smoothie (no sugar added) and it didn't bloat me up! So I am feening for a banana smoothie since then.

sazzie · 08-06-2008, 06:03 PM

Before I tried Jay Robb, Champion Whey was my absolute favorite.

The Banana Scream is unbelievably awesome, as is Cookies and Cream.

I'm headed back to my all time faves!!! I still have some C&C left from my last batch and alternate it daily with Jay Robb, cause his stuff was just too expensive to use every day.

I also buy online and get 5 lbs. for $35.00---Banana Scream for some reason, has always been a few dollars more, but that's OK!!

wishnot · 08-06-2008, 09:52 PM

does it come in anything smaller than 5 lbs. I'd love to try this but don't want to commit to 5 pounds if I don't like it and have wasted $35 + s&h....

EDIT: okay I found a 2.2 pound one but it's $27.50....not much cheaper, do they make individual packets so you can try it out? I haven't found anything like that in my internet search yet....

sazzie · 08-06-2008, 09:57 PM

Yes, it's also available in a 2.2 lb. container for $19.99.

HTH!!

wishnot · 08-06-2008, 10:05 PM

where did you find that $19.99 price!

sazzie · 08-06-2008, 10:21 PM

If you Google 'Champion Whey', you'll find it there.....can't give the site because of TOS.

I have found the 2.2 lb online for $19.99 (cant post where as it is a violation of Terms of Service).. but its out there.

amiga74 · 08-07-2008, 08:04 AM

thanks for the recommendation! very good to know!

Charski · 08-07-2008, 09:07 AM

Try emailing Champion Nutrition directly and see if they'll send you a sample - I read someplace else that someone did just that. Heck even if they CHARGE a couple bucks for a sample it's worth it to try it out!
