It’s totally worth it to cough up a little more for quality powder. Aside from the obvious higher protein content to offset some of the costs, I’m a little baby bitch when it comes to bloating and the higher quality isolate rectified this problem every time. I used cheaper wheys for years thinking ‘it’s all the same’ and it couldn’t have been farther from the truth.
I pretty much wont buy any whey with less than 27g protein per 30g scoop (essentially 90% pure)
Aside from that, the higher quality ones taste completely okay to me in ‘unflavored’. I never buy flavors anymore.
