Question:
Protein drinks w/o aspartame or iodine as ingredients?
i'm allergic to aspartame, chicken, seafood & iodine. anyone know of protein drinks that do not contain any of the above? i've tried looking online, but lots of them don't post a copy of their lable. i do know that atkins, slim-fast & keto all have one or more of these in them. any suggestions? — laureen227 (posted on July 14, 2004)

Nectar has no iodine or aspartame, and in my opinion, it's the best tasting
protein drink out there! My favorite is the Fuzzy Navel flavor mixed with
SF Tang or Crystal Lite Sunrise, but all the flavors I've tried have been
good. You can order sample sizes at bariatriceating.com. I've also found it
other places online, but never found it locally yet.
Nectar has 90 calories/serving and 23 g protein.

I just did a google search ( "whey protein" as I wanted to avoid
the soy) and the majority of the sites with products do have a place to see
the full ingredient listing of their products.
Another one I found locally is at Wal-Mart, the name brand is ARIA WOMEN'S
PROTEIN and it's 50/50 soy and whey. Not too bad it's a lot like Ovaltine.
LOL This particular one comes in a 12 oz can and costs less than $9.00.
Most of the online ones I found are much lower in cost.

Marsha beat me to it...I check my can of Aria and I do not see any of the
ingredients you listed being allergic to on the label. I to get it at
WalMart.It's no milkshake, but I find it to be tasty if not tolerable.
Good Luck!

Laureen,
I like optimum nutritions unflavored whey protein. It doesn't have any of
the items that you have to avoid in it.
it is tasteless and mixes with just about anything. here is a site you can
look at to see the nutritional stats. I hope this helps.
