title: "Protein Powders With Natural Ingredients (That Don’t Taste Like Chemicals)" description: "Unflavoured or lightly flavoured options without artificial sweeteners or long additive lists." date: "2025-09-20" updated: "2025-09-20" cover: "/cover.png" readingTime: "6 min"

If the label reads like a science experiment, you can do better.

What to avoid

  • Artificial sweeteners (e.g., sucralose, acesulfame-K) if you prefer a clean taste.
  • Multiple gums and thickeners (a little is fine; long lists can feel chalky).
  • Hidden oils and dessert-style mixes when you want simple protein.

Better picks by type

  • Whey isolate (unflavoured): High protein, mixes easily.
  • Pea protein (unflavoured): Plant-based, neutral.
  • Pumpkin/hemp/collagen: Single-ingredient simplicity.

Quick Picks

Use it well

  • Blend with banana + cinnamon; or shake with milk of choice.
  • For baking, start at 20–25 g per recipe to keep texture soft.
