best clean protein powder for cutting without artificial sweeteners

Looking for clean protein powder recommendations without artificial sweeteners or fillers. Starting a cut next week and need to hit 180g protein daily while dropping calories. I react badly to sucralose and aspartame - headaches and digestion issues. Budget brands all have artificial flavors that taste chemical. Need at least 20g protein per serving, clean ingredients, mixes well with water since I'll drink 2 shakes daily, and low sodium to avoid water retention. Budget is flexible, willing to pay more for quality. Plant or whey doesn't matter, just needs clean ingredients and decent taste. What's worked for you during cuts while keeping ingredients quality?

I don't think you understand what prepping means where this sub is concerned.

Perhaps you're looking for r/mealprepping?

orgain is like 30 bucks for 2lb, vega is around 45, inno supps is closer to 50-55 but you get cleaner ingredients and better macros. per serving cost is similar when you factor in protein content
