really worth avoid ingredient are sucralose and acesulfame potassium emerging research suggests they hurt the gut microbiome long-term with regular use, carrageenan though thickener causes gut inflammation, artificial colors and proprietary blends mean you don't even know what ingredients are actually in a single serving.
Junk -oleoresin in small doses actually doesn't do much harm at all and monk fruit is definitely one of the better sweeteners out there. So too stevia: Most folks seem to be able tolerate stevia well.
Affordable, smooth, powdery options clear: Orgain organic can be found everywhere; Naked Whey is just that; and Transparent Labs is pure, clean-labeled without artificial sweeteners. Yet it's frustrating that with Fairlife costing so much it's one of the few better ready to drinks available. These were genuinely the real thing and could be recommended at any time to consumers.
**Meal replacement really defeats the purpose of shakes right? Are you trying to build muscle, get more protein, or replace meals altogether?**
I like Naked Whey because I can control the amount/kind of sweetener. I typically mix it with 2 Tbsp PB2 powder, one packet of Splenda, a cup of whole-milk plan yogurt, and enough cold water to make it liquid. It takes me awhile to get through, can't chug it.
I find lemon cuts the flavor of the plain protein the best. My smoothies: Naked Whey, juice of 1 lemon, frozen banana, chunk of ginger root, handful of arugula, Greek yogurt, water. Blend!
Naked whey. I've been using vanilla in a coffee smoothie but they also have unflavored. It doesn't have artificial sweetener or anything and tastes more like milk than protein powder.
