Since I'm still in high school and I don't have a job, I don't have a lot of money to go buy protein shakes and such. Where can I buy some cheap protein shakes or powder, or something similar?

    I buy the cheap crap at Wal-mart. I think it's like 15 bucks for 2 lbs?

    I get mine at sams club, 20 bucks for a 2lb tub, it has low carb, high fiber, and has omega 3. It has 23g protein for a 35g scoop which is pretty good, called Pure Protein Plus

    You should be able to get it just about anywhere. I got some cheap powder at Pamida (it's like a wannabe WalMart) for around 17 bucks for a big jug. Look at your local pharmacy too.

    Here is a recipe for a protien bar.

    Cheap but good...
    Bulking Bar:
    Combine in large mixing bowl:

    3 Cups Oatmeal
    1/2 Cup Natural Peanut butter
    1 cup Muscle Milk
    4 Scoops Protein Powder
    dash of cinnamon
    ¼ cup mini Chocolate Chips (optional)
    Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
    use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
    top with 4-8 packets splenda
    put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:

    11g fat (good monounsaturated fats)
    26g carbs
    21g protein
    285 calories

    The trade-off with spending less on cheap protein is taste. How much are you willing to go down to save a couple bucks?

    You really might not like the taste of some of them....guess it depends on your gag reflex.

    iAlso, just remembered...Wally World & Target both sell pre-mixed protein shakes in 4-paks for $4.99 or so. The brand is EAS and they're AdvantEDGE Carb Control shakes. They come in both Strawberry and Chocolate Fudge. They don't require refrigeration ... until you want to drink one -- I wouldn't advise drinking them warm. Eww. They're not half bad but I have pretty tolerant sense of taste. :-)

    ETA: DYAC *again*!! :noway:

    I also drink the Body Fortress shakes. I have only tried the strawberry and it is really good! Next I am going to get the cookies & cream. You also need a blender bottle to mix it up in ...I got mine from Walmart too...

    In addition to some of the cheaper ones being chalky and gritty I have found a lot of the "cheap" ones aren't really that good for you. Lots of sugar, fairly low protein content. Just be careful when buying one and make sure you aren't getting a high protein low sugar. You can always add fruit or honey to sweeten it if you need to.

    I am currently using Pure Protein vanilla creme. It's pretty good. 25g protein/2g sugar, I think it was about $15 for 1lb.

    although looking at the Body Fortress that is pretty solid stuff. 52g protein and 1g sugar. How much does a pound cost?

    Buy two and they're 23$ a bottle, and it tastes far better than walmart.
