I think a lot of the cost of plant-based protein powders comes from all the extras they put in: flavoring, "super greens", mushroom powders, etc.

I used a blend from truenutrition.com, half soy protein, and half pea protein. With shipping comes about to about $16 a pound because I buy a large quantity at once. Protein powder is pretty expensive in general, but it's not a food that most people need. Most people don't even need 100g of protein a day, because they aren't strength training.

Actually, I eat 175g a day on a plant based diet. Mostly beans, lentils and whole grains. I supplement with protein powder, but only 1 serving

Beans/lentils/split peas are already like $0.99 a pound

Glucose is the essential carbohydrate. Your body would not function without glucose.

Saturated fat intake is also associated with cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol doesn't seem to be that useful of an indication, but high presence of Apo B, a lipoprotein which carries cholesterol, is associated with cardiovascular disease

I can't really say, I prefer mine plain.
