Legion's whey is a whey concentrate made with Avonlac 282, from American cows never treated with rBST. Each serving has 20 g of protein, 9 g of essential amino acids and 4.4 g of BCAAs, and it is sweetened and flavored with naturally derived ingredients such as stevia, allulose and monk fruit, with no added sugars or artificial dyes. Legion says the powder is lab-tested for purity and accuracy and independently certified by Labdoor to contain no heavy metals, microbes, allergens or banned substances, and that it is made in NSF-certified, FDA-inspected facilities. The facility claim is different from a product certification, so read it as a manufacturing standard. The one-time price is $54.99 for 30 servings, or $1.83 a serving, the lowest on our list, and a first subscription order drops to $38.49. A 100% money-back guarantee lowers the risk of trying a flavor. The main drawback is the 20 g scoop, so heavier lifters may need more than one.
