No Artificial Sweeteners-No Stevia

[DebiC 181]

Does anyone know of any Protein powders that have absolutely NO artificial sweeteners or Stevia . I will be starting my 2 week pre-op diet in a week. They have said I could use Instant Breakfast (regular not SF) or Slim-Fast but I would like to have a little variety since I can only find IB in chocolate.< /p>

IB is made in dark chocolate, vanilla and strawberry in addition to the standard chocolate or milk chocolate flavor; they also sell a variety pack. Drugstore.com stocks most if not all of the varieties if your local markets don't have a good enough selection.

On the Protein powder front, check with a GNC, Vitamin Shoppe or similar supplements store that should have a large selection of products. They should have something that meets your needs as the body builder market is more interested in Protein than low cal/carb, and some sugar is helpful in the transport of protein to muscle cells.

That is so great. I hadn't even thought of looking online. Plus they are on sale and the shipping is free! Thank You so much.

You're welcomed. I kinda fell into liking their dark chocolate variety when they introduced it a few years ago, and then the local markets stopped carrying it. Then I stumbled across it at Drugstore.com.....

While you're looking there, they also carry different Protein drinks and they let you check the nutrition/ingredients labels so you may be able to find one of those that meets your needs at the same time.
