Why scoop weights vary
Protein powder scoop sizes are not standardized. A scoop may be 25 grams, 30 grams, 34 grams, or another amount depending on the brand and formula.
Powder density also changes by type. Casein often measures fluffier than whey, plant blends may be denser or grainier, and collagen peptides can settle differently in the scoop.
