Use a high-speed milk frother or blender — we leave out emulsifiers, so it doesn't dissolve as smoothly in a shaker bottle with water as most protein powders. That's a deliberate trade-off: we'd rather skip the emulsifiers than add ingredients we don't trust. Vanilla and Snickerdoodle also work well in a shaker with milk. Chocolate works best in a blender or frother because cacao powder is naturally hydrophobic — it resists dissolving in liquid. We use non-alkalized cacao because it retains significantly more antioxidants than Dutch-processed, but it needs a bit more mixing power. For smoothies, adding a fat source like nut butter or avocado with frozen fruit gives a thick, smooth consistency.
What electrolytes and minerals are in TIDLØS protein powder?
Every serving delivers 395-445mg potassium, 83-160mg calcium, up to 19mg magnesium, and 1mg iron — plus 1-5g of fiber depending on the flavor. That potassium level is higher than most standalone electrolyte supplements. None of these are fortified or added — they come naturally from the organic dates, cacao, and cinnamon. Most protein powders deliver protein and nothing else. TIDLØS delivers recovery-relevant electrolytes in every serving because the ingredients are nutrient-dense whole foods, not isolated compounds and fillers.
How is this sweetened with dates but has 0g added sugar?
Organic dates are the sweetener, but because dates are a whole food — not a refined sugar or extract — FDA labeling guidelines classify the sugars as naturally occurring rather than added. You get real sweetness from a real food, along with the potassium, fiber, magnesium, and iron that come with it. No stevia, no sucralose, no monk fruit, no artificial sweeteners of any kind.
What type of whey does TIDLØS use?
Non-denatured grass-fed whey protein concentrate (WPC80) sourced from New Zealand pasture-raised cattle with year-round pasture access and a diet verified annually at over 95% grass-fed. New Zealand bans growth hormones in dairy cattle. We use concentrate rather than isolate because isolate processing strips out bioactive proteins — immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, glycomacropeptides — that support immune function and gut health. Our whey is low-heat processed to preserve those bioactives, and it's produced directly from milk rather than as a byproduct of cheese manufacturing.
What third-party testing does TIDLØS protein powder undergo?
Every lot is third-party tested for microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, yeast, mold) and the top four heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury). The product is manufactured in an NSF-certified facility. We test to verify that what's on the label is what's in the bag — and that nothing is in the bag that shouldn't be.

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 181 reviews.
Love the vanilla-flavored whey and grateful that it only has the 3 simple ingredients. It has a pleasant taste instead of the artificial taste that many whey powders have. It would be tough to go back to a different brand!
We love this protein powder. As a Mom, I appreciate the 3 simple ingredients. I know I'm giving my athletic family an amazing tasting and performing supplement. Customer service is fantastic as well.
I've been purchasing this protein powder for close to a year now. It’s the only one I've found with quality ingredients that's worth the price.
Also, the guy that owns Tidlos seems real chill. It's nice to support a small business owner you know is the man.

IVONNE!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review! I'm so glad you're enjoying the protein and so excited for you to try the Salty Dates energy gels!
Love the lack of fillers and the clean ingredients. And love that it’s just sweetened by dates. It’s so hard to find protein powders that don’t have artificial sweeteners. Love this brand!
I did hours of research and compared several brands and ended up with Tidlos and couldn’t be happier! I love that it only has a few ingredients and no stevia or monk fruit. It tastes great and my kids love it too!
Best protein powder ive tried. For one, there is only 3 ingredients and no other engineered or extra harmful additives. The vanilla and chocolate are tasty, but what tastes the best is knowing youre only putting 3 natural ingredients into your body and no extra nonsense. I mix mine with milk.

Then add the amazingly fast customer service and handwritten thank yous from owner Drew and boom-you have customers for life. Long live Tidlos!!

Lin & Missy!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review. I think this is my first video review ever!!! Love seeing customers enjoy the product :)
Our absolute favorite protein powder and the new packaging is perfection. Highly recommend!!
I'm somewhat of a novice to the protein powder world. I have tried some protein powders and foods throughout the years, and basically gagged. Tidlos however, is another story! My nutritionist recommended it so I gave it a try and was so pleasantly surprised. I like that the ingredients are simple and I actually enjoy the shakes that I'm making.
Really great product. I love the simple ingredients and experienced no stomach issues. The protein has a really nice clean flavor and is not too sweet.
I'm giving only three stars because I ordered Snickerdoodle but received Chocolate instead. It's not a problem because Chocolate is good. I'll try again to get Snickerdoodle next time.
Excellent products. Switched from isopure after a friend gave me a bag of tidlos to try. I now put a scoop on yogurt every morning.
Also, I use his salty dates energy gels on every moderate to long bike ride. Taste is great and zero cramps! Way better than the toxic goop I was using.
So happy I gave this protein powder a try! It is a total game changer. Just three clean ingredients, zero artificial nonsense and no yucky aftertaste whatsoever. It’s rare to find a simple formula done this well . 10/10!
Clean, simple and not too sweet which is exactly what I was looking for. Doesn’t make you feel icky afterwards and no after taste. So happy to have found this brand.
I've been using Tidlos for about 6 months after trying so many other protein powders. I love that it is just 3 ingredients. It tastes great in my morning yogurt. I highly recommend!
The only protein powder that I have liked! No nasty after taste. The only suggestion I have is you should have a referral program. Give your customers a code yo get a discount for referring others to buy your products.
I love the vanilla shake so much! I usually add a banana to thicken it and it's just delicious. I am sensitive to fake sugars-not just the taste but I often get headaches from them. So, for me Tidlos shakes with only 3 simple, natural ingredients is really important to me.
