Protein Powder vs RTD Protein Shakes: Who Wins? (POLL)
A while back I did a poll on my social media and asked the question if people preferred to use protein powder or RTD protein shakes (check out the Sam’s Club RTD protein shake comparison). To my surprise, it was basically a 2:1 ratio of people who preferred protein powder over RTD protein shakes. Another question I asked them was their reasoning for their decision and I want to share their insight with you and I’m curious to know which side of the fence you’re on.
Those Who Voted… Protein Powder
The majority of those who voted in my fun little social media poll mentioned they prefer protein powder over RTD protein shakes. There were quite a couple of reasons why they chose the protein powder as well.

Price
When you break down the cost per serving for protein powder vs RTD protein shakes, the difference can be quite substantial. Protein powder will generally always be less expensive when compared to any ready to drink out there. So, for those on a budget, they prefer the value they get at such a low price point and it’s hard to argue with that point.
The bigger the tub you purchase, the lower the cost per serving tends to be. Therefore, if you can afford to purchase the big five-pound tubs of protein powder or even the ginormous ten-pound bags of protein, those will almost always be your best bet when you’re on a budget and trying to keep your costs per serving down.
Customization
Many people like the fact that they can control their macros, the ingredients they put into their protein shakes, and really dial in the flavor they prefer versus having a set flavor profile in something like RTD protein shakes.
People who use a blender are able to mix in whatever the heck they want to manipulate tastes, texture, flavor, as well as the macro and micronutrient content. They also have the ability to use water, milk, almond milk, or whatever beverage tickles their fancy when making their own unique protein shake concoction.
