I am needing to go buy some preteen powder today. Thinking its going to be optimim nutrition banana cream. Was wondering how long a $52 tub of it will last me. I do a shake also "proatmeal" everyday with shakeology, (love it, too$$$ :(. Thanks for the help.

    What size is the tub, and how many servings does it hold?

    Mine says 20 servings, but they are 2 scoop servings, and I only have 1 scoop at a time, so it will last me at least 40 days, if I have a scoop a day.

    only you know how often you are likely to have it, and how many scoops you are likely to have.

    IN order to determine how long it will last you'll need to know how many servings per container. Then figure out how may servings per day you'll be having.

    I agree with the others how big is the container your buying.


    I use body fortress that you can get 2pounds of at walmart for 15.00 and that lasts me an entire month have one / two shakes a day other than Sundays as thats my rest day from exercise so I don`t make shakes that day either ( I use one scoop per shake )

    Thank you, I was just looking for someone to tell me what they do, appreciate your feedback. Getting off shakeology I'm cravings sweets again like crazy, and giving into them more! So I HAVE to go get a yummy one. I'll be heading to GNC when they open.

    $52??!! Damn thats a lot of money for protein. You must be going to GNC or something. I use a protein that I get from Walmart. Its a pretty big tub and it usually last me about a month and its between $15-$18. Might help budget wise

    I use Kaizen Isolate that I buy at Costco for $48 (Cdn) for a 4 lb container. It has high protein, minimal sugar, low carbs and other inportant nutrients. I have a scoop everyday (sometimes more depending on what I am eating) and its last me about 2 months.

    $52 for 2lbs tub sounds a bit pricey, especially when your using this stuff everyday.

    Mine last me anywhere from 2-3 months.. and I buy 2 pound tubs.

    I don't take mine every day though.

    I think $52 was 5lb, $26 for 2lbs, which I think I'll start off with- til I find the flavor I like. Thanks everyone!
