I use two or three organic vegan ones. They're expensive! Criminy.
Anyway, I like the taste of Amazing Grass Amazing Meal, and don't like the taste of The Sun Warrior Protein, so I mix them together.
There's also a nice liquid protein called: Orgain, which also adds flavor, but it's got quite a lot of calories, for a PS (protein supplement).
They all have lots of greens and fruits in them and not that much sugar. Today, I ended up adding stevia to my sun warrior, which really only served to make it taste like sweet chalk, but I also added sea-weed, as well (in the form of Irish Sea Moss), so that may have had something to do with the flavor grock.
Good luck in your search!0 -
I just ran across this while researching protein powders. I was originally going to buy this, because it's naturally sweetened (stevia, I think), but I couldn't find a price nearly as low as the non-Natural version, so I went with the non-Natural version.

Optimum Nutrition has a really great all-natural line in Chocolate (not great tasting), Strawberry (a little better), or Vanilla (the only vanilla flavor that I actually kind of like). If money is not an object and you are not averse to MLM's, Isagenix has an absolutely wonderful line of shakes!!! They are a bit higher in fats and carbs as they are an actual meal replacement that includes all your micros, but I can say they are the best tasting and high quality protein I have ever had. I no longer use them because they are a bit too expensive for me right now, but even though I do not participate in marketing the products they are much better than most on the market (Herablife, Shakeology, Advocare etc.). They are also mostly organic and completely all-natural.0

Amazon usually has good prices, mine is usually around $55-$60 for a 5lb tubsometimes you have too look really hard to find one, and it may not be your favorite flavor lol!

I get mine from truenutrition.com. It's the cheapest source I have found if you buy in bulk (if you don't the shipping gets you). You can choose from a couple different sweeteners, Stevia is an option, along with sucralose, or get it unsweetened. I get it unsweetened vanilla or chocolate flavored, I prefer the vanilla. You can also get it unflavored. The super grade is worth the extra dollar/lb over the high grade, mixes much better and has less fat and carbs than the high grade. The unsweetened stuff doesn't taste the greatest, but I don't drink it because it tastes good. Mixed with water it's a little nasty but drinkable, mixed with milk it's fine, put it in a smoothie or something and I don't even taste it.
They sell lots of supplements at truenutrition, and you can even mix and match custom mixes of stuff. I've only ordered their whey.0 -

I use the Optimal Nutrition Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey. I've use the Vanilla and Chocolate, haven't tried the Strawberry. The natural versions from ON don't contain any artificial sweeteners. The also make a natural version of the Casein powder, but I haven't tried that.
The cheapest place I've found to get it is on bodybuilding.com.0 -
I am completely frustrated And blown away at the protein bars and shakes that contain surculose. I personally, do not want to consume it and have discovered how much GNC uses it in their products.0

Try having a shake. I use Prime Protein (plant based) NO SOY - It's delicious and that's because I only add water and ice!

Since you only mentioned sucralose, I'm assuming you are not diabetic. That being said, what's wrong with sucralose?0
