Question:
Does anyone know of a WHEY protein that has no aspertame?
I need to find a whey protein that does not contain aspertame. It can't have soy protein in it, either. It can be either shake, powder, bar, whatever, as long as it has no aspertame or soy in it. I'm pregnant and can't have either soy or aspertame right now...! Thanks in advance!! — Sharon m. B. (posted on August 27, 2003)

Ultra Whey 24 is a great tasting protein drink mix that is sweetened wtih
Stevia. It has 24 g of protein with 114 calories, 0.5 g fat, and 4 g of
carbs. Here are the ingredients as listed on the Chocolage Fudge flavor:
C.F.M. Cross-Flow Microfiltered Whey Protein Concentrate, Hydrolized Whey
Protein, Ion Exchange Whey Protein, Natural Flavor including Stevia. It
comes in the chocolate, vanilla, mixed berry, and pineapple orange which is
new and which I haven't tried yet. The chocolate and vanilla are very
good; however, the mixed berry has a very artifical/chemical taste. I mix
the chocolage with 4 oz or so of water. Sometimes I will add about a
teaspoon of natural peanut butter and a drop of honey. My family prefers
it mixed with milk (soy or skim). The vanilla is great in a blender with
orange juice, half a banana, and ice.
Oh, it's distributed by Vitalabs, Inc., and they have a website -
vitalabs.com. Hope this helps.

Sharon - go to http://www.gourmetprotein.com and order their 7-flavor
sample pack. It's free with only $4.95 for shipping. I just tried the
Orange Dreamsicle this morning. It does have 4.8g of sugar, but is
flavored with sucralose (Splenda)...JR

Designer whey has sucrlose (splend) and is smooth, not too thick, not too
sweet and a mild taste

My favorite is Trader Joe's Chocolate Whey Protein (not the Designer Whey).
It is YUMMY! It has sugar instead of aspertame, so be careful if you
dump.

The new flavors from Champion Whey Stack don't use aspartame, they use
splenda. Check out netrition.com, search for champion whey stack, and
check out the banana scream and moccachino flavors. I've heard they're
great. You can order samples from vitalady.com, but netrition has the
ingredients listed.

Whey Tech from Vitamin Shoppe has Splenda. If you don't like it you can
return for exchange/store credit.

SciFit Whey Protein powder is sweetened with stevia. It mixes easily with
water, isn't too sweet and comes in a variety of flavors. I buy it
locally, butI believe www.vitalady.com also has it.

peptides, 60 grams of protein and over 40 other vitamins like calcium and
vitamin b12. They have samples and recipes on the manufacturer's website
along with post op specific FAQ's, there is also a money back guarantee if
you don't like it. Go to www.protein-solution.com

I use EAS Advant Edge high performance WHEY Protein powder. It mixes up in
a glass of 4-6 ozs water really smooth. Not gritty and can be mixed with a
spoon. It has 20g Protein and 4 carbs per serving. At Walmart the cost is
8.46 for a can with 16 servings. I was having trouble affording all the
protein I needed to take and learned about this one here on the site. I
really do like it. No way could I afford the Real Meals and some of that
other stuff so many talk about.
