Ultimately, they determined that wholesome ingredients, free from artificial flavors and potentially harmful additives, made for the most effective fuel. In their quest to find the best protein powder, they omitted formulas with controversial ingredients, including the artificial sweeteners and food coloring shown in this graphic.

I have found the my favorite Protein Powder is the Vega Chocolate. I feel amazing when I drink it. It has a chalky taste/texture if you don't blend it though.
