Whey protein powder is going to be your best bet. In all my years of buying protein, Isopure has been the best in terms of mixing with water.
If you have a Costco membership, you can get a tub of it for a pretty good price. They also have some other whey protein "concentrates" that are usually a mix of whey proteins. They are cheaper than a pure whey protein isolate but some people may have stomach problems from them. As a good rule of thumb, historically, whey protein has been about 10$ per pound but prices have been going up. Here is the link to the Costco whey protein isolate from Isopure. I am sure some people will mention On Nutrition and MyProtein. Both are okay as I have taken them both. Most protein powders are sourced from the same two or three places in the US. So look for whey protein isolate at a price you want to pay. https://www.costco.com/isopure-zero-carb-whey-protein-powder%2C-creamy-vanilla-3.4lb.product.4000159917.html If you want a quality American made protein powder, this guy sells some good stuff. 5 lbs of whey isolate for 87.50 https://proteinfactory.com/product/wisconsin-whey-isolate-5-lbs/ I would consider both of those superior to On brand stuff. On had a recall last year that does not give me the wam fuzzies https://iwaspoisoned.com/food-recall/optimum-nutrition-nutritional-and-beverage-products-recalled-due-to-microbial-contamination |

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Strawberry Banana, 5 Pound

I really enjoy IsoPure, especially mixed with either milk or 50/50 water and milk if you want to avoid some of the carbs in the milk while getting a bit more of a smooth texture. The Dutch chocolate is my preference. Cookies and cream is a close second place.

Been using Now Foods Whey Isolate for many years.
Available in 5lb cans and 10lb bags. The unflavored uses Stevia. No sugar. Zero carbs. Price fluctuates a lot. I keep the 5lb and 10lb in my Amazon cart, so I can see if it drops in price. Used to hover around $105 for the 10lb (and ~$57 for the 5lb). Both are more expensive now (looks like ~$133 for the 10lb everywhere). If you have Amazon Prime, Subscribe and Save knocks 15% off (with 5 or more S&S items). Still the best price I've found for 100% whey isolate (a lot of whey powders AREN'T 100% isolate. Websearch the difference if you need to). |

I like the Fairlife Protein shakes.
You can purchase on amazon, Costco sometimes, grocery stores. A bit pricey but good to keep a few in the refrigerator when you want something quick. https://fairlife.com/core-power/ Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry-Babnana all taste good. Strawberry-Babnana is my favorite. Their milk is good too and lasts a long time without spoiling which is good if you don't consume a lot of milk. |

I hate mixing powders, never works well for me, takes more time, doesn't taste good etc.
I get premere protein ready made at Wal-Mart . 1g sugar, 30g protein. I buy at the local Wal Mart not online. I started to order from Amazon once but read some reviews that said they had been in a hot warehouse and were rancid. Anyway lots of flavors, I buy the cafe latte by the 12 pack and basically it replaces my second cup of coffee in the AM (which would be post workout.) |

why are you worried about a little sugar or carbs?
If you are doing a cycle of Dbol or test cyp, you need those carbs for intermuscular glycogen. |

MRE lite is my first choice, made by redcon1. I think they support conservative issues if that matters to you. Second would be Jocko's molk. Both mix equally with milk. Can't tell you about mixing with water. Both have animal proteins and seem to digest very easy.

Most use artificial sweeteners. On (Optimum Nutrition) is a long time preference of mine and the fitness industry. Dymatize is newer (but still around for nearly 20 years) and another preference of mine. Normally I'd grab either. I find Dymatize ISO 100 typically tastes better in water. Most taste good in milk. |

In true ARFCOM fashion, OP will now have a list of nearly every protein known to man from which to make his selection.
So I’ll add one more with a twist. I recently tried these and, other than it only being offered in whey (which is not always the optimal type of protein), it tastes great and it has a significant convenience factor: Vade. |

Isopure and Myprotein both make unflavored powder with nothing added except an anti caking agent.
I like Isopure better, but it's more expensive. I mix it with milk though, it wouldn't be great with just water. |

Transparent Labs makes some really good options and is a great company to work with.
Also I use AthleanX protein as well. Be careful though. Lots of protein is “sugar free” but use sucralose. You want to find something that uses monk fruit or stevia. Both the brands I posted above have sucralose and sugar free options. Most of what has been posted here has sucralose, at which point you might as well drink Diet Coke. AthleanX Transparent Labs |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Amino energy by Optimum Nutrition is a ready to drink option. Amino energy is more of a preworkout. None of the flavors I have been drinking the last 5 years have had any protein in them. That said They are the best tasting preworkout I have had. Not super high on caffeine but a decent kick. I usually drink one in the morning and one before I work out. I use the MyProtein Impact Whey smooth chocolate flavor. Dirt Cheap, even after having a 40% increase the last year or so. Usually rates among the top of the review lists for actually having as much protein as they claim. |
