Check out this new (or not so new?) protein powder - Ultimate Nutrition Protein Isolate, made from 100% wheat protein isolate. This is a protein source I have never come across before. I have see pea and soy protein, but never wheat.
Generally, plant forms of protein do not have the superior amino acid profile that animal sources do. I was surprised at how solid UN’s wheat protein isolate product. Check it out:

Not bad. But the best thing about it is the price. It’s only $19 for 3 pounds. That makes it the cheapest protein powder that I have come across. So far taste tests and mixability tests have come back very good, but I am keen to try it for myself to see.
