An OK deal, not fantastic price but not a unreasonable rip-off either. The major selling point would be if you want a flavored powder that does not use sucralose. This one uses stevia.
I personally find no value in that (sucralose tastes better than stevia), but some people do.

Unflavored vegan protein can also be found cheap all the time, but I'm guessing with a name like Milk4Ever, that's a non-starter.
Opinion on the fruity pebbles ??? 🤔🤔

I prefer something without artificial sweeteners, just want the healthiest whey protein and don't care about taste.
I tried Orgain Chocolate recently and has been terrible on my stomach. I think its the sweetner they use.

Unflavored in inherently "cleaner". Most unflavoreds only have the protein and some lechtin. Not sure what that does, but it must be important because everyone has it.
You can glean a little from the nutrition label, but it is subject to rounding. There is no guarantee a powder that is 100% calories from protein probably is different than one that is 95% calories from protein - they're just rounding differently. Now, 100% and 60% is a difference, showing lots of extra carbs and fat.
If my primary concern was "clean-ness" (which it isn't), I'd go with an unflavored, non-GMO pea protein. Most peas are grown in Canada where regulation and food quality is pretty good. It's also gritty and doesn't make a good shake - use it in thicker drinks like smoothies or baked goods.
That said, I buy flavored whey. I know the manufacturers may be filthy, but I also don't eat a ton of it.
