Protein shakes - no aspartame or splenda



Recommended Posts

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 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 purchased an unflavored grass-fed whey Protein powder from Amazon. It literally has one ingredient.

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.

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

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.< /p>

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
