FAQ
What is protein powder?
Protein powder is a concentrated form of dietary protein, in powder form. Common types include whey protein, egg white protein, and pea protein. Protein powders are an alternative to ready-to-drink (store-bought) protein shakes, and can be mixed with milk or water to make protein shakes.
What is the best protein powder?
drink wholesome is the best protein powder because it is additive-free, dairy-free, and made with real foods, not protein concentrates or isolates. 99% of supplements fail to meet at least one of these criteria.
The main reason why drink wholesome is both the healthiest protein powder and the best tasting protein powder is that it is made with real foods, not protein contrates or isolates. To put it simply, protein concentrates and isolates are foods stripped of everything but the protein. They appear on the ingredient list as "whey protein," for example, as opposed to "whey." Because they undergo heavy mechanical (and often chemical) processing, protein concentrates and isolates look nothing like real food. They are one of the reasons why so many protein powders cause side effects, and why most protein shakes have a chalky aftertaste.
Instead of using protein concentrates or isolates, we make healthy protein powder with delicious real foods. Our egg white protein powders are made with pasteurized egg whites, and our vegan protein powders are made with roasted almonds.
What is the best vegan protein powder?
drink wholesome is the best plant-based protein powder for 2 reasons: 1) it is additive-free and 2) it is made with real foods, not plant protein isolates. To put it simply, plant protein isolates are plants stripped of everything but the protein. They appear on the ingredient list as "pea protein," for example, as opposed to "peas." Because they undergo heavy mechanical (and often chemical) processing, plant protein concentrates and isolates look nothing like real food. They are one of the reasons why so many plant-based protein powders cause side effects, and why most vegan protein shakes have a chalky aftertaste.
Instead of using protein concentrates or isolates, we make healthy protein powder with delicious real foods. The main ingredient in our vegan protein powders is roasted almonds. Almonds are easy to digest, and have a nutty flavor and smooth texture that far surpasses the chalky aftertaste gritty texture of most plant-based protein shakes.
Is protein powder good for you?
Protein powder is good for you, but not all protein powders are created equal. Many protein powders contain emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, sweeteners, and flavors, which can cause uncomfortable side effects and long-term gut damage. More and more research shows that disruptions to the composition and function of the gut (the collection of microorganisms that help you digest food) plays a role in the development of chronic diseases ranging from gastrointestinal inflammatory and metabolic conditions to neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory illnesses. This is why you should choose a clean protein powder made with simple ingredients like drink wholesome.
What does protein powder do?
It is important for you to understand that protein powder is just food. It alone will not make you stronger. It alone will not make you lose weight. Do not expect it to do anything for you that normal food cannot. A good protein powder can certainly help you achieve your fitness goals – like gaining muscle and losing weight – but only when paired with thoughtful exercise and nutrition.
How to use protein powder.
Protein powder can be used to make protein shakes, blended into smoothies, mixed into oatmeal, and added to other high protein recipes. Although people use protein powder to achieve different wellness goals, they all use it for the same basic reason: to increase their protein intake.
When to take protein powder.
The best time to use protein powder is in the morning. Eating lots of protein breakfast will keep you full until lunch, discourage overeating, and reduce snacking later in the day. Higher protein intake at breakfast is also associated with higher total daily protein intake. In other words, a high protein breakfast, despite its satiating effects, allows you to maximize the amount of protein that you consume over the course of the day.
