Why on earth would you even want to consume whey protein powder if you are in kenya?
Protein supplements are a bullshit first world convenience thing for dieting and retaining a high protein intake. If you are an active individual and are not trying actively to lose bodyfat you have no reason not to just eat real food. Which you will benefit from much more greatly. You need calories, lots of them if you are cycling a lot. Large amounts of protein will have little effect without corresponding increase in calories. That is why something like whole milk is good, sets everything out in the perfect ratio.
If you are a fatty sitting on your arse most of the day and wanting to grow muscles by lifting weights ocassionally - while not making yourself fatter. Then lots of milk might no be the best option as you will be getting sufficient energy from other parts of your diet (rice, potatoes, fat etc) so choosing purer protein sources would be a better option. Like meat & fish.
No matter how poor a place and how bad the infrastructure. Eggs are always cheap and commonly available. I am sure meat availability in Kenya isnt all that bad?
internet tells me Beef is between $4-5 USD per KG. That is cheaper than the meat over here.
-edit-
Realise your point may have been that your are buying chocolate milk instead now you are in Kenya, so ignore the 'tone' of my post as you seem to be on the same wavelength, but Ill leave it up anyway .
