Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent Keto Protein Powder? I would like to consume a pwo - post workout shake, mainly isolate fast absorbing protein. There are typically no fats in these. Something you mix with water and go.
I notice some of the low carb options use sucralose - should I avoid?
Thanks in advance for any all help!
I have tested myself after eating pure sucralose and splenda (sucralose sprayed on dextrose). Pure sucralose caused no glucose spike, Splenda cause a mild one.
I’m not sure it would be classified as keto but I use Isopure plain…whey isolate with zero carbs. It mixes easily and tastes great.
I use Dymatize ISO-100 in Gourmet Chocolate. I usually mix with water, MCT oil, and heavy cream… super tasty and 2 carbs (1 net)
I haven’t tried it yet but have been meaning to get some ,so can’t give a review but you could try,EAS Myoplex ketogenic powder,looks like they sweeten it with stevia and monkfruit,try some and give us a review, I think I will order some also
Used this for some time, NOW Foods Whey Protein Isolate, 100% Pure 5Lb. Can be found on Amazon.com for around $50. Its very good and very clean with almost no flavor. Checkout the ingredients:
Honestly I havent used much protein powder in QUITE some time as its healthier and usually pretty easy to get all our protein from whole foods but when I do use protein, this is the one for me. Not quite sure if we are allowed to post direct links but I’m sure a moderator will let us know. Below is the link to the Amazon.com listing- power to Amazon Prime!:

What would make a protein powder ketogenic? I would imagine protein powder is, at best, orthogonal to keto and at worst contrary. Wouldn’t the question really be “Which protein powder is the least non-ketogenic”?
Dr Nally and Jimmy Moore are working on one. It should be out shortly on their site.
I was about to mention is too. They one they have developed is supposed to be high in Fat?
That’s what Jimmy has said a couple times in his podcasts. I’m looking forward to it.
Yes, he mentioned lower in protein, higher in fat. TBH though it kind of goes against what he said in the same podcast I was listening to that he always advocates eating real food rather than supplements and powders.
agreed. i think us common folk translate this to mean which is lowest in carbs, least likely to throw us out of ketosis, and least likely to spike insulin.
looks good. I stick with unflavored because it gives me more options. i always add my whey to coffee for a preworkout…sometimes I want vanilla or chocolate or even pumpkin spice. with unflavored I can flavor it how I want it.
1 scoop to 200ml of a high fat coconut cream maybe a tiny bit of water… Its pretty much 50% / 50% protein to fat… Tastes sooooo dam good!
Very true. It might be a nice alternative for the people that still like to use protein powder and do the ketogenic lifestyle.
If you want a protein/fat combo, take your favorite protein and add MCT powder at your favorite macro %l level. This is the only MCT powder I have found on the market. Anyone have others?

I wonder how they do it without maltodextrin (how you usually turn oils into powders)
Magic? haha! I haven’t found any other powder MCT on the market.
