You seem to have a strong bias in favor of stevia and other "natural" sweeteners. I find stevia and monk fruit to be unbearably awful. Moreover, there's no evidence I'm aware of that natural sweeteners are any better than artificial ones for health. A negative filter or checklist filter for sweetener would be nice so I can exclude the ones I hate. My favorite protein powder {in general, not for Creami) is ON Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate, which uses acesulfame potassium. AFAIK all the other ON GS flavors use sucralose, which I still find more tolerable flavor-wise than any natural non-caloric sweetener I've found.
They have very high levels of lead and other dangerous contaminents. Any plant based protien will be high in these contaminants too. The cocoa flavours are usually higher, best to go for no falvouring or vanilla if that is the only other option. If you see anyone with this product in their carts or thinking of trying it (maybe its on sale) please inform them. The ON Gold Standard is one of the cleanest protien powders out there, and again their vanilla or unflavoured is the safer option over their chocolate one. If you are vegan and are concerned about protien intake, then maybe you shouldn't be vegan.

Using Nakpro unflavoured, Avvtar unflavored, OWN flavored since past one year. Clean labe andl no issues even with 2 scoops per day. Nutrabox, Avvtar flavored, TWT are super expensive so not at al considering them.
ON Gold also just blends so well it’s a nice fine powder. Agreed it’s top tier.
I just bought (2) 10lb bags of ON Gold for <$200
I don't know what you mean by "clean" but Optimum Nutrition Gold is pretty much the gold standard.
