    I read on Google that you can buy protein powder, it just can't say supplement info it has to say nutritional info

    My point was that protein powder is just protein in powdered form. If you are in a position that you need food stamps then I would prioritise food that will leave you fuller and be more nutrient dense and you will get a lot more meals from it.

    Well, my_jurnee, you can always do what the others suggested and buy actual food. I don't know of any protein powder you can get with food stamps, at least here in California.
