Karine,

Fantastic new site! I have already bought Metabolic Cooking…big fan. Anyway, just wishing you and Dave the best luck with your blog. Mine looks pretty darn old fashioned in comparison.

…and I need to buy some Stevia. I am a gummy candy addict. I think I’m the only person who buys gummy cola candy (not sure if they have that in Canada…but it is found in the states in most grocery stores).

I notice that a lot of prominent bloggers use Iso-Smooth protein powder. I have to be honest. I cannot fathom spending close to $90 for a 5lb tub of protein. Since you are friends with the CEO of Blue Star, I was wondering if you know of any way to get this protein cheaper?

I currently use Optimum Nutrition whey protein powder which runs about $50 per 5lbs. Another $5 or $10 wouldn’t be so bad, but spending almost twice as much for the same amount!!

I also understand the argument that the quality of the powder (i.e. the nutrient profile and the exclusive use of pure proteins) are one of their main selling points. Is there any reason to believe that Optimum Nutrition protein is anything less than high quality?

Any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Craig and everyone,
Has anyone on here tried Only Protein – the best there is out there (IMO).
To healthy habits!

Hi Craig,

I actually talked to Adam about his protein prices not too long ago. His other supps prices are great, but the protein is way higher than average brands.

What he says is that because he is a small company he doesn’t have the buying power of a big company like ON or EAS… so his cost for the protein is higher. Also the cost price of a protein tub is pretty high and profit margins are usually very low, so companies make their money on volume… he doesn’t have a big sales volume. The last thing is the quality of his protein, he buys the best quality proteins he can find and add almost no “filler” to it (he has the highest protein per scoop concentration on the market). So it adds up…
The positive thing is that it is awesome quality and you can actually take less…. I actually my post workout shakes from 2 scoops to 1 scoop of Blue Star prot, so all in all I’m using about half of what I used to and a tub lasts me twice as long. So financially it comes to the same thing for me and I got a better quality protein.

ON is not a bad protein… I’d say it’s a good average commercial one… but not nearly as good as BlueStar imo.

Hope that helps 🙂

I have a questoin regarding The Thermoccino Smoothie. I notice you use 1 shot of espresso, if you don’t have espresso could you use bold coffee? If so how much would you use?

Any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Ron!

You could swap the shot of expresso for 1/2 cup of coffee 😉

Enjoy!
