Sure, you\u2019re buying in bulk. But still. What about those of us who are just dipping our toe into the world of getting swole? What if we aren\u2019t sure we want to make getting gains our entire personality and we just want to test it out and not spend $50 for a bucket of protein powder? Or what if we are fully committed to bulking up, but we don\u2019t have that kind of cash? Keep reading, because I found the best cheap protein powder to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What we mean when we say \u201ccheap protein powder\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what affordable protein powder means to us: protein powder that costs less than $1 an ounce. For context, our number one <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/best-tasting-protein-powder\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best tasting protein powder<\/a> costs around $1.50 an ounce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What we looked for in the best cheap protein powder<\/p>\n<p>Affordable price. As outlined above, we defined cheap protein powder as costing less than $1 an ounce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Good flavor. Even cheap protein powder should taste good. It shouldn\u2019t be a chore to drink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Easy to mix. Shaking up your protein powder shouldn\u2019t be your workout. It should dissolve easily in water, milk, or a smoothie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We ended up with just two cheap protein powders\u2014and they\u2019re both chocolate. The non-chocolate flavors we tried were downright bad. But we\u2019ll keep searching and we\u2019ll update this article when we find a good cheap vanilla protein powder. Here\u2019s the best cheap protein powder we found in a taste test.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Best Cheap Protein Powder, Ranked<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The following article contains affiliate links that may generate a small commission to us when you make a purchase through the link.

Seriously, this stuff is truly cheap protein powder at just over 60 cents an ounce. But you do get what you pay for. It\u2019s not super rich with chocolate flavor and it\u2019s tough to incorporate by shaking. I\u2019d blend this up with some banana and milk or water to cover up the slight protein-y aftertaste. Note: I only endorse the Elevation Chocolate flavor. The Vanilla flavor is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\">Credit: Merc \/ Aldi<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"696\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-56447 size-full\" alt=\"Sixstar Triple Chocolate\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BEST_CHEAP_PROTEIN_POWDER_INSET_01.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nBest of the Best\n<\/p>\n<p>Sixstar Triple Chocolate<\/p>\n<p>You can get this genuinely good, affordable protein powder for 68 cents an ounce on Amazon. And you should. Because it tastes like milk chocolate\u2014even when it\u2019s just mixed with water. It\u2019s creamy and sweet and the powder actually dissolves. It\u2019s good with water but if you shook this with some sort of milk I think it\u2019d be hard to stop gulping. It\u2019d be dessert! I might start lifting just to have an excuse to drink this stuff. It\u2019s the best cheap protein powder by far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\">Credit: Merc \/ Amazon<\/p>\n<p>Other cheap protein powders we tried: <\/p>\n<p>Elevation Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Merc \/ Amazon \/ Aldi Copy this link to share with your friends!
