Protein powder without artificial sweeteners

Protein powder without artificial sweeteners is easy to spot once you know the names to look for. The common ones are sucralose, acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), aspartame and saccharin. Powders that skip them are usually sweetened with monk fruit, stevia or a little sugar, or they’re left unsweetened.

How to spot sweeteners

“No artificial sweeteners” often still allows stevia, and a “monk fruit blend” can be mostly erythritol. Orgain’s main Organic Protein line lists organic Reb A (stevia). Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard and Premier Protein list acesulfame potassium, so check flavored whey closely. Read the full list, or paste it into the ingredient checker.

Unsweetened

If you want zero sweetener, skip flavored tubs. Cantein Unflavored is one ingredient: organic hemp protein, with 28g protein in a 35g scoop. Naked Pea is one ingredient, yellow pea protein, with 27g in a 30g scoop, usually the cheapest unsweetened plant option if legumes agree with you. More: unsweetened vegan protein powder.

Isopure Unflavored

Isopure Unflavored is whey isolate at 25g protein per serving, usually much lower in lactose than whey concentrate. It has no sweetener at all, so it skips artificial sweeteners and stevia. Flavored Isopure tubs often add gums or other sweeteners, so stick to unflavored if that is the goal. It is still dairy.
