Under $35
Finding quality protein powder on a budget doesn't mean sacrificing value for money. This comparison ranks protein powders under $35 available from major Australian retailers, sorted by cents per gram of protein to help you get the most bang for your buck. As of May 2026, options range from supermarket finds like Muscle Nation Custard Protein at Woolworths (around 1.6 cents per gram) to specialty options from Chemist Warehouse and supplement stores. When comparing products of different sizes, always divide the total price by the total grams of protein (not the package weight) to calculate the true cost per serve. We've included whey, casein, beef and plant-based options so you can compare across protein types. This page is refreshed regularly to reflect current pricing and availability across Coles, Woolworths, Chemist Warehouse and other Aussie retailers.
Don't just compare sticker prices - check the cost per gram of protein, since tub sizes and protein content vary heaps between brands.
How the live ProteinPrice Value Score is calculated
Muscle Nation's Custard Casein ranks 5th on this list with a strong value score of 9.3 out of 10. At $17.50 from Coles, it's currently half price, making it exceptional value for a slow-release casein protein. The cookies and cream flavour offers something different from standard whey options. Worth grabbing while the 50% discount lasts, though availability is limited to Coles stores.
Coles Wellness Road Pea Protein ranks 4th on this list with a strong value score of 9.3 out of 10. At $10 for 500g, it's one of the cheapest options available. Being unflavoured makes it versatile for smoothies and cooking, though some might prefer a ready-to-drink taste. The small pack size is fine for testing pea protein if you're new to plant-based options.
Body Science High Protein ranks 3rd on this list with a strong value score of 9.4 out of 10. At $32.44 from Chemist Warehouse, it sits comfortably under budget while delivering solid protein value. The 720g tub is smaller than some competitors, but caramel honeycomb is a crowd-pleasing flavour. Chemist Warehouse's wide Australian store network makes it easy to grab without waiting for delivery.
