I have been using This for a few years. Minimal taste... I do mix it with chocolate milk though, so I'm not sure how it will taste if you mix it with water.
I stopped using normal protein powder (the stuff you can buy in grocery stores) because of the sucralose and aspartame in them. I just switched to this stuff. No sweetener whatsoever. I put it in milk and it just increases the milky taste slightly. Not bad at all.
I buy NOW Foods unflavored whey and it's pretty great. The artificially flavored powders were making me nauseous so I had to switch.

Ive been using this for years. Less than 1 carb. Unflavored. So I make shakes with chia seeds and ground flax, peanut butter and unsweetened almond milk. Add in some fruity or kale and you are set
Now sports Whey protein isolate
Have you ever tried unsweetened almond, coconut, or almond and coconut milk? They're definitely not the same as cow milk but they can be pretty tasty.
Couple of shilly suggestions (promise no affiliation):
At first blush, Keto Chow seemed expensive to me.. But when it says it's one week's supply, think of it instead as 21 meals. For me (and I imagine most people) who use it once per day, that means it lasts three weeks.
Having meals ready makes it soooo much easier to avoid temptation. So does cheese.
Now foods whey protein isolate. Ingredients: whey protein isolate.
I mix in NOW protein powder which is flavorless. I use it mostly for shakes or yogurt, though. Sometimes my bf uses it for cottage cheese. For the most part I barely taste it.
Something I personally recommend NOW Foods Whey Protein Isolate Pure, 1.2 -Pounds https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OWAB4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-IAAxb4EPJ2TT
depending on how much time you have to prepare food everyday, may I suggest /r/keto and all that jazz, last time I hopped on it, with exercise I lost 40 pounds in like 2 months, I got hurt and had to stop due to weight lifting, but that shit is interesting if your cholesterol isn't high and your kidney/liver function is good. they sell cookbooks for that and everything.
I found aesics running shoes, love them to death, if you want to walk for an extended period of time, or run for a bit, they are comfy as hell.
for supplements, I take http://amzn.com/B001F71XAI once a day.
I also supplement meals with protein shakes, but there's 2 different types, http://amzn.com/B002DYJ0M0 is good for like slow digestion, when you go to sleep and stuff
I drink http://amzn.com/B0013OWAB4, it blends very well and it taste pretty decent.
I literally just started trying protein powder this week, but I like it. It keeps me full for a really long time. I've only tried two powders so far: Hemp and Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate.
I don't recommend the hemp: it's super gritty no matter how much I try to shake/mix it.
I'm really liking the whey though! I got it to mix up super smooth the first time I used it, and I like that I'll be able to change up the flavor as often as I want. I got [this kind] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OWAB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but I have no idea if others are better. I just mixed one scoop with 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup black coffee, 1 tsp instant espresso powder and 2 squeezes of liquid stevia.
Edit: Ugh, nevermind on the whey. Looks like it has soy lecithin in it. Sorry about that. I'll leave the info here though in case anyone else finds it helpful.
Possibly off topic as I've never used that website before. But this is the protein that I use:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OWAB4/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a relatively pure isolate. It mixs well in water or milk and doesn't taste horrible. Goes good in shakes too.
For a number of months I was using the NOW brand of whey protein isolate. It was just pure whey protein and a little soy lecithin to prevent caking. It's not easy finding a protein powder that isn't loaded up with sugar or sugar alcohols.
I thought I tolerated it well, dunno if it contributed to my flaring that led me to hop from keto to SCD, but it's one of the things I eliminated for now. I may give it a try again at some point because I probably still have $40 worth of the stuff in my pantry.
It's unflavored, which is what I wanted, but I always look at protein powder as pure fuel and I don't care what it tastes like. It was pretty bland (but tolerable) mixed with water, but I always did it with almond milk to get a few more calories shoehorned in there.
I'm not saying that you should definitely try that one in particular, but if I were you I'd just try to find the purest stuff I could of whatever protein type I was trying. Egg, casein, whey, hemp, etc. When they load extra stuff in there like sugar/sucralose/aspartame/artificial flavorings/artificial colors/etc, I see that as merely unnecessary chemicals that add random variables to the little experiment I'm continuously running on diet vs. symptoms.
Thanks for the reply! I'm currently drinking a whey protein based shake. Adding some flax seed oil, peanut butter and chia seeds for extra calories. I did some research and found that that brand had the most protein. But the one you recommended also looks pretty good because it's geared towards weight gain - also pretty cheap. Would I be losing anything if I made the switch?
This is the one I use for frying and it works great.
NOW Isolate. It's not too expensive if you get the 5-lb tub, but you may want to get the smaller tub just to try it out. The macros are pretty good too: 110 calories for 25g protein with minimal ingredients.

Maybe you should switch up your 'tein. Try NOW Foods unflavored. I drink it daily and never get gas from it.
