Not a problem on step 1. The important thing is to get the protein in. As you progress through the steps, you'll want to find one that isn't sweetened so you can adjust the sweetness yourself.

I used to use oat milk in my shake, but at some point, it started to taste way too sweet to me. Now I use unsweetened almond milk and add some berries for a little sweetness.

The Radiant Recovery store sells a wonderful whey protein isolate protein powder that is the best I have ever tried. It's very smooth and doesn't add any funky taste to my shake.

: I'm on Step One and using a protein
: powder isolate which seems to be
: pretty good stuff--derived from
: grass-fed cows, non-denatured,
: much lower carb content than the
: supermarket brand I started out
: with, dissolves easily in milk and
: tastes really pretty good, even on
: the mornings when I don't have
: time to add berries, etc. In fact,
: it dissolves so well, and tastes
: so good, that I'm suspicious
: (which is typical of me--"if
: I'm not suffering, am I
: cheating?"). The label says
: zero grams of sugar, but it is
: sweetened with stevia. Should I be
: concerned that the sweetener is in
: any way interfering with the
: benefit of getting the protein
: early in the morning? (If not,
: should I be concerned about that
: at some point, but maybe not this
: early in the game?) Thanks for
: your thoughts!
