drink wholesome makes the best unflavored egg white protein powder
Of all the unflavored egg white protein powders, drink wholesome stands head and shoulders above the rest. Keep reading to learn why.
drink wholesome tastes better
First of all, it is important to mention there is no such thing as flavorless protein powder. All unflavored protein powders have a flavor, even if they do not contain added flavorings.
Unflavored egg white protein powders taste like egg whites, which have very little flavor compared to other protein sources. That does not mean that all plain egg white protein powders taste the same, however.
Some eggs sit for days before being processed. As a result, they begin to decay and release a chemical called hydrogen sulfide, which has a potent sulfur odor. Other eggs, like the ones we use, are broken less than twenty-four hours from when they are laid. The result is a more neutral flavor profile, which most people prefer.
drink wholesome is better for you
Our unflavored egg white protein powder is made with 1 ingredient: egg whites. Other egg white protein powders contain added emulsifiers, stabilizers, and thickeners. Ingredients like these, despite their functional benefits, are not good for you.
First of all, food additives are hard to digest and therefore feed your gut bacteria, which release gas as they eat. As you might imagine, too much intestinal gas can cause bloating, flatulence, and stomach pain.
Partially digested food additives also cause your colon to absorb too much water, which can lead to diarrhea. Here is a list of the most common food additives in protein powder:
acacia fiber, acacia gum, artificial flavors, ascorbic acid, aspartame, calcium carbonate, carrageenan, cellulose gum, dextrin, dicalcium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, gellan gum, guar gum, gum arabic, inulin, locust bean gum, maltodextrin, mono- and diglycerides, ‘natural’ flavors, rice bran extract, rice dextrin, rice hulls, rosemary extract, silica, silicon dioxide, sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, soluble corn fiber, soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin, tocopherols, tricalcium phosphate, xanthan gum, zinc oxide
Regularly eating food additives can cause long term gut health problems too. For example, certain food additives can disturb regulatory pathways in your intestines, triggering the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Some food additives, especially artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, can also alter the composition of your gut microbiome – the collection of microorganisms living in your gut. An altered gut microbiome is a leading driver of inflammation and linked to the onset and progression of chronic diseases, including obesity, type 1 diabetes, and colorectal cancer.
Because drink wholesome is additive-free, you do not have to worry about side effects or long-term health problems. By using 1 simple ingredient, make boosting your protein intake safe and easy.
