3 reasons why drink wholesome is easy to digest
1. drink wholesome is additive-free. Most protein powders are full of food additives. Although they are not necessarily bad for you in small quantities, food additives can add up quickly, especially if you drink a protein shake every day. At higher quantities, food additives can cause GI side effects.
Many food additives are hard to digest. As a result, they sit in your gut for longer than they should. This gives the bacteria that live there time to eat the partially digested food. As they eat, these gut bacteria produce gas, which can cause bloating, cramps, and nausea.
Gas also slows colonic transit (the amount of time it takes food to travel through the colon). This can lead to constipation. In the long term, food additives can disrupt regulatory pathways in the intestine, which can result in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and systemic inflammatory disorders.
Keep an eye out for artificial sweeteners too. Artificial sweeteners can alter the composition of your gut microbiota (the collection of microorganisms that help you digest food). This can lead to serious GI problems and widespread inflammation.
Artificial sweeteners, especially sugar alcohols like xylitol, can also cause diarrhea because they draw water into your gut. Now you have something to blame for those post-protein shake trips to the bathroom. Finally, artificial sweeteners are poorly absorbed by the gut. This means that they feed your hungry gut bacteria.
Here is a list of the most common food additives in protein powder:
acacia gum, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavors, aspartame, carrageenan, cellulose gum, dextrin, dextrose, erythritol, gellan gum, guar gum, gum arabic, inulin, locust bean gum, “natural” flavors*, maltodextrin, rice syrup solids, soy lecithin, silica, sucralose, sunflower lecithin, xanthan gum, xylitol
When it comes to identifying food additives, go with your gut. 😉 As a rule of thumb, they are the ingredients that you cannot pronounce.

*This is the actual ingredient list of one of the best-selling protein powders in the United States.
2. drink wholesome is dairy-free. Dairy-based proteins like whey and casein are byproducts of cheese and yogurt production. They are known to cause digestive issues, especially for people with lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Over one in three Americans are lactose intolerant, and the prevalence of IBS is somewhere between 10 and 15 percent in the United States. It follows that you may be lactose intolerant or have IBS and not even know it.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a poorly understood condition, and it is unclear why dairy triggers symptoms. Lactose intolerance, on the other hand, is clearly understood. People with lactose intolerance are unable to fully digest lactose, the sugar in dairy. As you just learned, partially digested food feeds the bacteria in your gut, which produce gas.
3. drink wholesome is minimally processed. Most protein powders, on the contrary, are made with protein concentrates and isolates, foods chemically or mechanically stripped of everything but the protein. They are listed on the ingredient list as “pea protein,” for example, as opposed to “peas.” Although there is no evidence that protein isolates and concentrates are bad for your gut, it is safe to say that real foods are better. Your gut always prefers the real thing, not some heavily-processed imitation.
Instead of protein concentrates or isolates, we use egg whites. Egg whites are simply broken, pasteurized, and dried before becoming protein powder. Unless you have a sensitivity or allergy to eggs, egg white protein is the best protein for people with sensitive stomachs. Egg whites are low in fiber, low-FODMAP, and have the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of any whole food.

I am a strength and conditioning athlete and I have been consuming whey for more than 8 years. I was not a fan of all the additives added in whey protein and their long term side effects. I am a drink wholesome user for the past few months and I have no complains. I take two big scoops once in the morning and evening post workout with oat milk and I feel full and energized. The only recommendation I have is to improve the seal of the zip lock. The last two shipments I received doesn’t let me seal it back once opened.

I had my gallbladder out 3 days ago and your protein powder has been such a blessing during my recovery. Helps me feel full and get the nutrients I need without stressing a recovering digestive system further. And it tastes so good! I’m so glad I found you. I hear all these other people talking about painful gas and diarrhea during recovery after surgery and I know it’s because they don’t have you. I’m so grateful!
Sydney Carney –
I ordered some of your protein last week and I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE! I’ve been struggling for a long time trying to find a protein powder that agrees with my stomach and thanks to you guys I FINALLY found one! Every vegan protein and all whey proteins give me stomach problems immediately after I drink them, and with your protein my stomach is finally happy; no bloating, cramps, or terrible gas. So I just want to say thank you for such a great product! I will be telling everyone about you guys! And I must add that it also taste amazing!!! So thank you!!☺️

Just ordered my second bag of chocolate protein powder. I have ulcerative colitis and I enjoy going to gym and taking protein right after. All other brands cause bloating, but not this one. I like the simplicity of this product, it’s simple straight forward and I just want protein…great stuff 🙌🏼 I love it. I’m glad you guys are doing this. There’s nothing like it. 🙏🏼

I really like chocolate, but I have bad heartburn so I can’t really eat it. I read that this was good for people with GERD though, so I ordered some anyway. The chocolate sample didn’t give me heartburn, and I ordered a full bag. Still haven’t had a single issue.

I was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and I’m use this product to gain some of the weight back that I’ve lost over the past few months. It’s been a lifesaver and I can’t say enough good things about how it tastes. It has a rich chocolate flavor with a hint of coconut.
Enrique –
The chocolate protein powder causes ZERO gastrointestinal side effects. It’s wonderful because after so much trial and error, I’ve finally found something that agrees with my body. I’m a subscriber and I normally use 2 servings per day.
Daisy –
I’m bought this because I’m on the Candida diet. I add berries, collagen, flaxseeds and chia seeds, and MCT oil. I love it far! The flavor is good and it’s quite filling. I look forward to trying the other flavors.

I mixed it per directions. Was a bit too chalky. Mixed 1/3 of chocolate powder with the recommended amount of milk and added a banana. Much better. I was not hungry til dinner time. Kept the sweet craving away as well. Did NOT set off my IBS. Hoping this will help me lose some weight. Although I will never be skinny girl like the ones in all the pictures, even if I lose 10 pounds, I will be happy. So far I am impressed. Other brands cost more, taste horrible, and leave you bloated and hungry a few hours later. So worth the money.

Just finished my first bag and ordered 2 more! I Iove this stuff! I have Crohn’s and every other protein powder hurts my stomach…except drink wholesome! Thank you!
Jackie Loucks –
Great value in my opinion. I’ve never seen an ingredient list like this, and you can taste (and feel) the difference. Most protein powders are full of crap, and they taste and make you feel like crap. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase 🙂

IBS-friendly

drink wholesome is so good I don’t even know where to start!!! I probably spend two weeks looking for a protein powder that didn’t cause bloating. I have an extremely sensitive stomach, and even small amounts of certain ingredients can cause problems. A Google Search led me to drink wholesome, and I ordered some samples. I fell in love instantly. Not only did they agree with my stomach, but they also tasted incredible. Blend it with milk, frozen banana, and a few ice cubes. There’s no way you won’t like it!
Darlyn Rebolledo –
Good stuff! Tastes great & doesn’t make my stomach upset like some of the other protein powders.
Monique –
After trying several other vegan protein powders, I asked my trainer if she could recommend one that didn’t have the nasty after-taste that powders sweetened with stevia or other artificial sweeteners have. She recommended Drink Wholesome, and I love it! No after-taste! It’s my go-to now.

I have long avoided protein powders because of all the additives and the lack of “real food”. I’ve been aiming to eat a more “real food” (less processed foods, less sugar, etc) diet for the past several years and finding Drink Wholesome is like a dream! I grew up drinking chocolate milk for breakfast every day and did until my late 20’s. Once starting my real food journey, I realized what I was drinking was not real food! I’ve also become sensitive to gluten and dairy over the last 5 years. Since it’s gluten and dairy free, I’m thrilled to have discovered this! Drink Wholesome allows me to enjoy drinking my “chocolate milk” once again but to feel great about it since it’s only real food and minimal sugar! When I use my immersion blender to quick blend it up, the consistency is like a melted milkshake and I love it! I add a cup of coffee to it and it tastes like a mocha from a coffee shop! Drink Wholesome is not chalky or too sweet. It doesn’t taste artificial. I’ve even gotten my husband to enjoy it which is big! He hates coconut. I didn’t tell him what it had in it but made him the chocolate protein drink and he really liked it! He could not tell it was coconut. We’re sold!

Excellent protein powder for Ulcerative Colitis! I have had no issues while using it.
Elizabeth S. –
This chocolate egg white protein powder is anti-bloat, anti-blood sugar dips, anti-artificial tasting. Seriously the best protein powder I’ve EVER tried (I’ve tried literally every brand on the US market, all types of protein powder too). The product is amazing, period. I use it daily to fuel my active lifestyle: in overnight oats, protein shakes, protein smoothie bowls, and baking recipes. Not sponsored, I pay full price for the product.
Emilio Eduardo –
This is the only protein powder that doesn’t give me digestive issues. I love this product, the chocolate flavor tastes great and mixes well. I use four scoops a day so I go through one bag a week. Drink wholesome, if you’re reading this please come out with 3 or 5lb tubs!
Sage Nocera –
Right up there with the vanilla taste wise as well as its easiness on the digestive system.
Tatiana Staloff –
Best protein powder! I use a regular blender with no problems. Really helps post workout.
Kristen Herchenroder –
I bought this flavor by accident and its my favorite flavor that I’ve tried. I do not like coconut, but I love it in this protein powder. It gives it a subtle sweetness. When you open the bag you smell coconut and real cocoa, no weird artificial aromas. Tastes delicious with milk and ice. Blends well in a magic bullet.
Jessica Kowalski –
Tastes like chocolate milk with a little less sweetness. I love it and the ingredients! It does not come with scoop and the scoop you can buy is not equal to one serving, so I’d save the $1 and just weigh it out yourself. No complaints!
