We Scored 9 Protein Powders — the Best One Is Also the Cheapest
We scored nine protein powders on five things: protein per scoop, label honesty and
purity, third-party testing, cost per gram of protein, and taste and mixability.
The whole board lands between 9.4 and 7.5 — a spread of just 1.9 points across
the entire category. Protein powder is more commoditised than the marketing admits.
The interesting part is what happens when you lay the prices next to the scores.
The top-scoring powder costs $0.95 a serving — the lowest price on the board.
The most expensive one, at $2.37 a serving, finishes eighth. Price and quality
run in opposite directions at both ends.
We put the full breakdown — every study, every number, with the PMIDs — on our own site.
