I am in my pre-op stage and have been trying to find Protein powders that taste good and don't have any artificial sweeteners. A friend recommended the Jay Robb brand. They use Stevia, have very few ingredients and seem to be the least processed powders that I can find. They also derive their whey from cows that are not treated with the growth hormones.
I ordered a sample pack from their website to try.
I am the pickiest eater you will find and I don't like almond milk, coconut milk, or rice milk, and I am allergic to soy.
I have also found a new milk product. It is called Fairlife. It has more protein, less sugar and less carbs than regular milk. It is a bit pricier too.
So far, I have tried mixing the Jay Robb vanilla into it (with a teaspoon of PB2), and I am trying the Jay Robb tropical dreamsicle flavor with it as I type this. The vanilla was good and the tropical dreamsicle is delicious. It tastes like a very mild orange creamsicle and has no aftertaste.
Just thought I'd share. I have tried several of the popular brands and nothing has come close to this for me. I also love the fact that there are no artificial sweeteners. I really don't want those in my system.
