Where I live grocery stores are a terrible example, all the plant proteins are jacked up in price with marketing about how it’s organic and vegan and will cure cancer yada yada. And then the wheys they sell are blends with low actual protein content and/or poor aminos.
I buy my protein from a bulk supplements supplier, and soy is 75% of the cost of the cheapest whey, gram for gram of actual protein content.
I get my protein from Canadian protein dot com. The vegan protein is the same price as the whey concentrate and a little cheaper than the whey isolate.
I’ve never gotten it before mostly because I’m a creature of habit but might get some to try the next time I order because the dairy has not been sitting well with my stomach lately.
I don’t know if this is a problem specific to Canadian Protein’s vegan protein, but the one time I tried it, it had the kind of grittiness that sent me into a coughing fit on each sip. Completely undrinkable. It also had this awful flavour evocative of wet cardboard, which they assured me was normal.
Last time I checked what’s available on my grocery store shelf, the whey protein was still the cheapest by unit.

It appears to be mostly pea, brown rice and hemp.

I’ve had other kinds in the past. They’ve ranged from really gross stevia taste to what I would describe as pancake batter.
Protein powders have always been so hit and miss though im not sure it’s related to them being vegan.
