Protein shakes - no aspartame or splenda

I am looking for protein shakes that don't contain artificial sweetners or splenda, but are still bariatric friendly. I guess that leaves stevia?

    I purchased an unflavored grass-fed whey Protein powder from Amazon. It literally has one ingredient. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0177EF6KU/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sent from my LG-H90

    Jay Robb whey isolate uses stevia as the sweetener. It has great numbers (calories/carbs/protein) and I really like the taste. You can buy it online http://www.jayrobb.com/protein/whey-protein.asp i

    whole foods has a whey Protein shake mix that has stevia. chocolate and vanilla. so pop in there if you have one close by. I think it was the 365 brand.

I am not familiar with any off the top of my head. Someone else may have some suggestions. I suggest that you talk to someone at a store like GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe. Your NUT should also have some ideas.

I have been enjoying the Natural Force organic chocolate whey. It can get a little foamy, but it isn't too sweet and only has a few ingredients. I used to use Tera's Whey, another organic brand that uses stevia, but the flavor was not very good.

including sample sizes. BTW if that link gets hijacked by the coding at this site, just google Jay Robb whey protein and it will take you there.

Also, you can find Jay Robb at other websites and they sell it at some grocery stores (I know they sell it at my Kroger) and you may also find it at GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc.

About Time is another protein brand with great numbers and lots of flavors. You can also buy samples from them. I didn't like the taste quite as much as Jay Robb, but that's really an individual thing so it's probably worth it to give them a try.

You can poke around their site and find more size and flavor options etc.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I really hate fake sugars. Aspartame and Splenda taste like bitter poison to me.

Finding Protein shakes that are low in sugar but don't use either of those sweeteners is a challenge! I'm preop and trying to find options that will work post surgery. I suspect I'll need to figure out ways to use the unflavored whey powders.

I've been using Calnutrale "Svelte" shakes. They have stevia and taste pretty good but they only have about 11g of protein.
