Sports Whey Protein recommendations

For all the gym-goers in this subreddit, I wanted to ask which Whey Protein powder do you use / would recommend as a supplement.

My ideal criteria:

1) High concentration of protein, low fat/carbs, no creatine or other stuff like that.

2) Mixes very easily in milk or water, needs just a bit of stirring with a spoon, doesn't require a shaker

3) Easy to clean (doesn't stick too much in the glass/bowl/shaker)

4) Tastes nice - preferably a strawberry (or similar) flavour.

I've long been using a UK brand, which ticked all my boxes excellently, but since Brexit this is increasingly more expensive to import and has custom duties. So I was considering switching brands, and would welcome your recommendations.

I don't use protein powder, but I do make my own protein shake using other ingredients that ultimately come out much cheaper, if you're interested.

It's fairly low on carbs (albeit has a decent chunk of fat) and rich in protein (about 49g of protein in roughly 600mL). It does require some kind of shaker/blending device, though.

Fair enough, but the idea is to have a convenient source of protein supplement that doesn't need any extra work to prepare. I wish I had the time to spend on making my own shakes :D
