Canadian Protein is my favourite. I get the Premium Whey Isolate, which is not their cheapest but it's still not crazy expensive relative to other proteins on the market, and it has the best ratio of protein per weight that i can find, meaning it has less junk you don't need. If you buy it in large enough quantities on a subscription it's really affordable, too.

Canadian Protein: Premium Whey Protein Isolate, unflavoured - that’s what I use. I buy it online. I sometimes also buy / mix with their Grass-Fed New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate in Natural Chocolate (more ingredients though).

Canada Protein Premium Whey Isolate (Unflavored). Pretty cheap in bulk!

Unflavoured just means there's no flavour added to it, it's just the natural flavour of the whey. Tasting notes vary hugely between people, they have sample packs so you can just try a bunch without committing to a bag.  The Canadian Protein ones I tried 2 years ago were New Zealand Whey concentrate, New Zealand Whey isolate, whey protein isolate, hydrolysed whey protein isolate, premium whey blend, premium whey isolate, egg white protein powder.  Some were absolutely vile (to me, plenty of other people don't mind the taste), others almost disappeared if you mixed them into hot chocolate or a smoothie. From my tasting notes, the hydrolysed whey and premium whey isolate disappeared the best in chocolate milk. New Zealand Whey and whey isolate worked basically fine mixed with lemonade. The other combinations had varying levels of milky/chalky/vomity/weird taste to me but that's very individual.

I found the regular whey protein isolate and premium whey isolate to be pretty similar when mixed in water, the regular had a slightly stronger weird taste that took more other stuff to mask than the premium. But the textures and ease of mixing were the same in the batches I received.

Premium unflavoured tastes like UHT milk, the shelf stable version of milk, but slightly less offensive. If you’ve ever had UHT, you don’t forget it. Not enjoyable at all. I tried making my own flavours with it and ended up having to add a ludicrous amount of add ins to make it palatable to drink as a shake. I stick with flavoured versions for shakes and add the unflavoured 1:1 just to use it up.

It tastes pretty meh on it's own. The flavour disappears if you mix it in oatmeal, but I don't like the texture of that. I prefer their chocolate for taste and texture. The vanilla tastes OK but has a fluffier texture compared to the chocolate, which is more granular.  Edit: Also, IIRC, the nutrition info for the different flavours of the whey isolate is the same across flavours. I haven't heard that unflavoured is more protein dense, so can't comment directly there. 🤷🏼
