Affordable Protein Shakes
If you are serious about bodybuilding, you certainly need to consume whey protein on a regular basis. Whey protein powder can really help you bulk up and increase your metabolism.
However, there is always the issue of cost. Imagine consuming protein shakes on a daily basis. For some people, this can mean 2 serving of protein shake a day just to fulfill the protein needs for the day.
A typical container has about 30 servings. If you take 2 servings a day, that means you need one container every 15 days - or 2 containers per month.
So how much is that going to cost you? If you spend just $25 per container, that works out to be about $50 per month.
But what happens if each container cost $50? If you buy 2 containers each month, you will have to fork out $100 on a monthly basis. Can protein powder cost that much? Yes, it can - premium powders that are consumed by professional bodybuilders can cost that much. But if you are just start out, you don't need to invest in premium products.
Here are some affordable protein powders to help you get started.
GNC protein powder - 31 servings per contain, and cost about $25 per container. Great for beginners. Affordable, and readily available in local health stores.
Cytosport Muscle Milk - Comes in smaller containers so you can try it out first. One container has 16 servings, and cost about $15. Customers reviews are great - the drink tastes like a real milk shake.
NOW Foods protein powder - Another great alternative to try out. Price is similar to Cytosport muscle milk - $15 for 16 servings. Contains glutamine.
Body Fortress Whey Protein Powder - Perhaps the most inexpensive of all. Buy this in twin packs and subscribe to enjoy a further 15% savings.
Generally, you find that most protein powders cost around $40 for each container with 30 servings. The above are affordable recommendations.
