Protein Powder Economics

The Truvani vanilla protein powder package I order from Amazon has 18 servings and costs $45. Eighteen servings will last 18 days if you have one protein drink each day.

That’s $2.50 per drink which is cheaper than getting a coffee at Starbucks. Not including the tax and shipping fee if you don’t have Amazon Prime and load up on AMZ deliveries regularly.

Cheaper products were sold that I found by typing protein powder into the AMZ search box. My thinking is that they contain natural flavor not real vanilla bean or cocoa powder for the chocolate version.

I’ve seen that with the 12-ounce cup after I shake the powder with a spoon in the almond milk a clump of thick powder settles on the bottom of the cup. I’ve ordered a 16-ounce pint glass to use for the protein drink in the future.

In the coming post I will write about how I accidentally found out that I have a justified aversion to consuming food products that contain natural flavor.
