Can anyone comment on a good tasting protein powder WITHOUT artificial sweeteners - especially sucralose?  
I get bad headaches from sucralose, and avoid aspartame due to the insulin triggers.

I am getting back to my early 20s fighting weight with an aging, damaged body, and am finally giving in to using shakes as an occasional meal replacement due to frequent business travel.  I don't need or want a lot of whiz bang extras - really just need a meal/snack replacement. Don't need "energy boosters" - I sleep enough and down to drinking only a cup of coffee a day, why add guarana or something to that mix.  Don't need "fat loss accelerants" - I balance meals and exercise, and ok with a longer time frame to meeting my goals.  Has to mix easily in a shaker cup.

SFH is pretty good tasting, but expensive. There are really not many on the market without sucralose, so taste is going to have to be a secondary concern. SFH is decent though.

YOu could also make your own blend here:

Most of them contain artificial sweeteners. You could look into pure, unflavored whey and add your own flavoring agents.

TN offers Stevia for a sweetener, and I love the beef isolate "premium" chocolate fudge flavor. Good stuff.

Nutrabio whey protein isolate tastes good and i used to use it. The label doesnt list Sucralose but itd probably be best to email them and ask. Only thing is it can take up to a couple weeks to ship Which is why i dont buy it any more and the price is kinda high.

Are you looking for a meal replacement or an all in one protein that you can use to supplement meals and for post workout recovery if you need to? I would recommend ON Natural Oats & Whey mixed with milk because it includes some complex carbs and with the milk would be closer to an actual meal than say a <200 cal low carb isolate shake that is designed to be absorbed rapidly. ON used to make their Pro Complex in the Natural line but dont anymore which is a shame because it had an excellent profile. If you can still find some of that give it a try.

Doesn't look like ON (Optimum Nutrition) 100% Whey Gold Standard contains sucralose, so give it a shot.  I love the banana cream flavor.    Available at GNC or online.

Edit!!  Disregard.   I just checked my container and it does have sucralose.   Sorry.

I love the TN Beef Isolate, chocolate fudge premium mixed with coffee is the fucking TITS.

Kaik didn't like it mixed with water, though. It can get clumpy, but a few pulses in the ole magic bullet with coffee and milk and it's goddam sublime.

I love Allmax's Isoflex peanut butter chocolate. Tastes just like a Reese's pb cup. I always mixed my protein drinks with water and this one tastes good with water and mixes pretty well.
