I ALWAYS keep it in my survival pantry. Takes up a small amount of space, and keeps for a long, long time. Mixed with water, it's palatable enough to be almost good. Add some powdered milk and you're good to go.
Are you talking about stuff like what comes from GNC for body building or something else? What brand do you recommend? Thanks!
GNC is generally the most expensive place to buy protein. If you go online, prices are 40-70% less expensive.
I’ve been buying the stuff for years as part of my nutrition schedule for bodybuilding. For straight whey protein, I think that BSN makes the best-tasting stuff (I’m having some of their Chocolate/Peanut Butter as I type this!) with their Syntha-6 product, but it’s the most expensive at about $90 shipped for 10 lbs. Ten pounds is roughly 100 servings.
I also like Optimum Nutrition; the taste is pretty good, and it’s a little less expensive. You can find both types right on Ebay.
Don't waste money in GNC for this stuff, you can get it in walmart or target. just make sure it says pure WHEY PROTEIN on the label. It's no gourmet meal, but it will keep you alive when all the rice and beans are gone. As long as you have drinkable water. Oh, yes...almost forgot. You need a source of saturated fat with pure protein like this. I suggest coconut oil, which you can get in capsules from Puritan's Pride. One a day should be plenty. You can buy it in bulk wherever soapmaking supplies are sold, too. Look for "extra virgin" on the label, and you can be sure it's safe to eat. it will keep forever, and is awesome for cooking. A gallon costs me about $75, but it will last for two or three years.
