Looking for affordable whey blends at ASN? This page lists whey protein blends sorted by price, from cheapest to most expensive, current as of May 2026 and refreshed regularly. Right now, Rule 1's R1 Whey Blend starts from $35.96, while popular options like Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Whey sit around $44.76. When comparing different products, don't just look at the sticker price. Check the cost per gram of protein, which accounts for different tub sizes and serving amounts. A larger tub at $60 might actually be cheaper per serve than a $40 smaller one. The table below shows price per gram of protein for each product, making it easy to spot genuine value. Keep in mind that whey blends typically combine whey concentrate and isolate, offering a middle ground between pure isolates and straight concentrates in terms of both protein content and price.
Check the price per 25g of protein, not just the total price. A $60 tub with 85% protein often beats a $45 tub with 65% protein.
How the live ProteinPrice Value Score is calculated
Maxines Burn Protein ranks 2nd on this list, though it's not exactly a bargain. At $8.59 per 100g, you're paying a premium for a relatively small 500g tub. The value score of 3.6 out of 10 reflects this. It's marketed as a fat-burning protein blend, which explains the higher price point. If you're specifically after Maxines' formulation, it's available, but better value exists elsewhere on this list.
R1 Whey Blend ranks 1st on this list, though that's mainly due to limited competition. At $7.92 per 100g, it's positioned as the cheapest option available at ASN. The 454g tub is quite small, so you'll be restocking frequently if you're a regular user. The vanilla ice cream flavour is a solid everyday option. With a value score of 4.3 out of 10, it's affordable but not exceptional value overall.
Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard ranks 4th on this list at $9.86 per 100g. It's a premium whey blend that costs more than budget options, but the value score of 10/10 suggests strong overall quality for the price. The 454g tub is smaller than typical 1-2kg offerings, making it a decent entry point if you want to test the double rich chocolate flavour before committing to bulk sizes.
