    Yep unflavored.

    Also, I sometimes do not trust the nutrition labels on these things. Especially if you buy at GNC, their tubs are sealed with plastic but once you open it, the cardboard seal is often unattached.

    This local health food store down my street sells Bluebonnet Dual Action Whey + Casein in a chocolate flavor as well as just a whey protein powder in a few flavors that isn't too bad. I like to shop local to help out the little businesses, and that's all they sell, and not a bad price either.

    Thanks for this post! I will be looking up the ones on here that I don't already know about, I am looking for one without artificial sweetener and dang that is hard to find. Right now I use EAS choc soy.

    Protein powders without artificial sweeteners are VERY hard to find. I can't have sucralose - it reacts with medication I take and my body just can't tolerate it - so finding a powder without it has been tough. Just discovered Jay Robb the other day. No sucralose and tastes pretty good. It's a bit pricey but worth it to me.

    It would be more helpful if people posting protein versus calories for 1 serving.. I just realized that the stuff i bought has less by half protein then the store brand I bought previously.. I'll be getting exchanging it tomorrow.. oh yea..

    Because I don't like the taste of most protein powders that I've tried.

    I love Aria protein ($10 at Trader Joe's), but I just started an elimination diet (no dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, alcohol, chocolate, caffeine, refined sugars or artificial sweeteners) and my dietitian recommended Rainbow Light. Bought a bag today, going to try it out tomorrow morning!

    You can order custom flavors, nutritional additives, and sweeteners from True Nutrition.

    Pure Protein Whey Body Shaping Formula in Vanilla Cream. It doesn't have a huge amount of protein (15g/100 calories), but I like that it doesn't have artificial flavors or sweeteners (fructose & stevia extract). It actually tastes pretty good (for a protein powder) and makes ridiculously good shakes when you add cottage cheese and a pinch of xanthan gum.

    I use it to supplement my calories to get myself out of starvation range since I would eat 1200 total calories/day if I was lucky. I'll be using this powder for a while because I have a ton of it. Walmart clearanced it for $2.50/14oz can and I bought ALL of them :blushing:

    Bc I'm not on board with the added sugar or artifial sweeteners.

    I am liking gnc soy 95 but I think it's being replace with soy 100. Same thing pretty much. Tried body fortress, didn't like, tried dessert protein...it tasted good but turns out I can't have anything with casien. Tried "raw" protein and vega smoothie protein and spirutien. Didn't like. And "raw" made my tummy hurt too.
