Canadian Protein 20% (maybe 30%?) off select items for Cyber Monday (Whey Concentrate is a great Value)

Kazien: Regular price for 2KG = $49.99, with semi annual sale bringing it down to $39.99.

I dont know Canada Protein, but right now 2KG is $59.99 so even at 20% off its $47.99.

Nutritional value, although similar, Canada Protein has 90% isolate vs Kazien's 83.3%. Only upside is that Kazien uses natural sugar (stevia) vs. Canada Protein's sucralose.

Kazien 2KG = 1666gm of protein
Canada Protein 2KG = 1800gm of protein

Kazien $/gm = 0.024
Canada Protein $/gm= 0.0266

Conclusion: With Kazien you get more protein per dollar, but at the cost of more fillers. I am at work so I'm not digging deep into what the fillers may be and if they are even bad or not, but unless you're aiming for BF > 9%, I cant see how it will make a difference.

But anyway I have found Kazien to not taste very nice personally and Canadian Protein is delicious (as far as shakes go) especially with their New Zealand grass fed choc milkshake flavor, but that costs quite a bit more.

I’m happy to pay a bit more for something I enjoy.

Also you're missing out on savings if you're buying 2 kg packs. The 5 kg is where it's at with Canadian Protein. Using your same calculation for the isolate (which again I don't buy personally, I'd rather have the concentrate):

5 kg on sale = $95.99

$95.99/4500 g= 0.021 $/gram

That's 12.5% cheaper. With better protein density. Even then, buy the concentrate though, it's a better value. In fact, the best value I have seen all year.

There are no fillers, the remaining calories are residuals left over from the process, and are usually just carbs. The extra cost difference between concentrate and isolate is literally the cost of purification. I wouldn't really care about the nutrition there.

Also cutting while building muscle is the other use case for high protein density. I've lost 70 pounds this year at a rate of about 2 pounds a week, and have built muscle during. You require a really high protein content on limited calories for this. It works man! Kinda hellish though.

High quality, and the ingredient profile is so clean. Haven't tried their Peaches and Cream flavour yet, so that's on the list.

But since trying to move away from dairy, as my lactose intolerance has more or less progressed to almost a complete dairy intolerance, I've gotten used to the differences in consistency. Also, they seemingly over-sweeten most whey proteins these days it seems.

There are a lot of vegan proteins out there that are horrible, taste like chalk, and full of grit. I've tried a lot of different brands, looking for one I can tolerate. I'm not the biggest fan of CP's Vanilla, as that one is a bit chalky, but I really do enjoy their Apple Cinnamon and Chocolate. Mixes well, tastes pretty good, goes well in smoothies and breakfast foods. It's also one of the only ones that hasn't caused me to have excess gas and bloating, which vegan proteins tend to have on people. I'm also a lot more regular because of the fibre.

Oh actually, what flavours have you tried with Canadian Protein? I've had strawberry banana (not a fav, but was on sale), salted caramel, cherry cheesecake, unflavoured and Pumpkin spice. As you can see I just buy what's on sale, so not sure what I want to get this time. Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards Canadian maple since I would be able to use that in a lot of different things.
