jhkrn 8 Posted August 10, 2013 Hi! I've been searching for cleaner Protein powders....free of artificial sweeteners/flavorings....limited preservatives. I've looked at Isopure natural....but haven't tried it yet....any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted August 10, 2013 The purest one I found was Now foods unflavored whey isolate (amazon has it). I believe Unjury makes one like that too. You can add your own natural flavors since I don't think it's edible plain (not tasty I hear) but it does dissolve well. juice seems like the best option early I'm, fruits blended in later.

SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted August 10, 2013 Jay Robb is fairly natural. I use mostly Jay Robb and also sometimes Isopure. The chocolate Jay Robb tastes like chocolate milk when mixed with milk.. the vanilla is good mixed in coffee.. The strawberry tastes a bit weird, but is good if I make a frozen shake with half a banana some milk vanilla extract and ice. Pina colada flavor was not pleasant and I didn't love the orange dreamcicle either. www.jayrobb.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robin04 8 Posted August 10, 2013 I really liked the Unjury ones and I also currently use shakeology which does not use artificial sweeteners. I am pretty bummed because I just checked the ingredients in a GNC Protein that I really liked and thought it had no artificial sweeteners but I was wrong.

Arts137 1,811 Posted August 10, 2013 whatever you select, remember the cardinal rules... (1) at least 20 gm Protein and (2) low sugar! I use Unjury.< /p> 1 robin04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted August 10, 2013 I don't know how you would feel about this' date=' but I intend to use goat's whey Protein from here: http://tinyurl.com/mf5w8vn Curious about this. Does it taste different? Why did you choose this over other types? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaj 88 Posted August 10, 2013 Curious about this. Does it taste different? Why did you choose this over other types? Actually I haven't bought any Protein supplements with the exception of Premier Protein RTD because of the ease of use right after surgery; however IF I were going to purchase a Protein powder I would choose goat whey due to the easy digestibility in comparison to cow milk, lack of any unnatural additives (assuming you are purchasing organic, grass fed) and the increased level of healthy minerals, nutrients and beneficial digestive cultures. I will be using our own goat whey to make my smoothies as we always have quite a bit left when my husband makes cheese. Whey, sealed tightly in a clean jar, lasts approx 6 months if refrigerated. We don't purchase milk or cheese as our goat provides all we need for our family. We currently use the whey mainly to Water our garden and feed our chickens, but since I've had surgery, we will be making smoothies with it now as well. 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaj 88 Posted August 10, 2013 Curious about this. Does it taste different? ... Oh...and our goat milk tastes just like cow's milk except creamier because it is raw and doesn't require pasteurization. Whey is not really a tasty substance in any case - natural or unnatural...it has a bit of tang to it, but I believe that will be no problem when mixed with fruits and vegies for smoothies.< /span> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
