This is my favorite brand of collagen. Great quality product: https://iherb.co/AF8dBWLH?rcode=AKD0077&utm_medium=appshare When it comes to protein this one seems to be cleaned off with unnecessary fillers: https://iherb.co/yYBuAXxp?rcode=AKD0077&utm_medium=appshare
Garden of Life Whey Protein Bob's Red Mills Whey Protein Nutricost Bob's Red Mills Almond Protein All have little to no extra ingredients, just simple Whey Isolate or Concentrate. None of them has sucralose. It's best to purchase frozen berries in bulk and create your taste w/ a blender, i.e. strawberry or wildberries. This way, you also get Fiber.
So Garden of Life (now I’m on whey but used to take their vegan one) is super high quality and tastes good to me but is not cheap. For great value I’d go for iherbs house brand California Gold Nutrition , also vegan and whey. The whey tastes good to me , the vegan less so. Both of them are some of the cleanest out there

I work at Garden of Life and am very curious to know which ones you tried. I hate the taste of all the unsweetened ones. Adding water also makes them taste horrible but mixing milk makes some tolerable.
They are very grainy to me. I started reacting to the chocolate ones so I can't do them anymore. Vanilla is just awful lol.
Garden of Life protein powder is really good, and no whey. Super easy to digest and tasty
