Is there a good tasting protein powder for women that doesn't have any sort of artificial sweetener or Stevia in it? I would like to incorporate a protein shake into my "loosing weight, getting fit life" but I'm allergic to anything with artificial sweeteners or even Stevia.. i get bad stomach aches and headaches almost instantly. Any suggestions would be great! :)

    You can get natural/unflavoured powders. Anything with flavour is going to have a sweetener of some description

    The obviously won't taste great, but it depends what you're trying to do with it?

    Unflavored Whey Isolate...I use isopure. You do Hafta mix it with something that has a taste, but it has no artificial sweeteners or stevia (which I why I chose it)

    Sorry, I'm a guy, but I don't think protein is gender-specific in the real world, probably just in the advertising world. I second the Isopure unsweetened unflavored. I have a lot of stomach upset/gi upset and that one doesn't bother me. Neutral flavor, kind of like bland powdered nonfat dry milk or powdered fake coffee creamer flavor but more subtle.

    I like Garden of Life vanilla raw protein powder, I made my own protein bars with it, they came out delicious!

    You can get protein from other sources, and make protein shakes too. For example - ricotta cheese, cottage cheese and greek yogurt all are high in protein and make really good shakes when mixed with fruit . Like someone said - depends what you are trying to do with it. If just trying to get more protein in your diet - meat, eggs, etc works fine. Protein powders are only necessary if you are having a hard time getting protein through normal food means.

    You guys are awesome! Thank you! I am trying to lose 10-15 pounds of fat, lower my BMI and tone up with some muscle definition.. Just the average girl trying to get in shape for her wedding in 6 months! :) My friend who is in great shape says i need to add a protein shake to my routine.. she said after my workouts. I am trying to not consume too much dairy outside of yogurt, not for any reason other than i notice i get acne from too much dairy. I would eat dairy all day every day if i could (ice cream and fro-yo are my weakness!)

    If you don't get enough protein from food you can use a powder - you don't need to though. I try to use them as little as possible as I prefer to eat my cals!
