Many meal replacement powders are filled with emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, and flavors. Even in small quantities, these additives can significantly impact your digestive system, triggering unpleasant gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, and stomach pain are common. The reason for these symptoms lies in the fact that additives look nothing like real food and are challenging to digest, especially for individuals with gut issues.

common additives in meal replacement powder:

acacia gum, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavors, aspartame, carob bean gum, 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 partially broken-down food lingers in your gastrointestinal tract, it can lead to two potential outcomes. Firstly, your gut may absorb excessive water, resulting in diarrhea. Alternatively, the additives can feed your gut bacteria, which generate gas. Excessive gas can cause bloating, flatulence, stomach pain, and even impede the movement of food through your colon, causing constipation.

Tons of people who drink meal replacement shakes on a daily basis do not realize how rapidly food additives can add up; nor do they realize that additives can disrupt regulatory pathways in the intestines. This, in turn, can contribute to the emergence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other systemic inflammatory disorders. Furthermore, the delicate balance of the gut microbiome, which consists of a variety of microorganisms that help with food digestion, can be disrupted by food additives, particularly artificial sweeteners. This poses a long-term risk to your gut health.

Our meal replacements are dairy-free.

A significant number of meal replacement powders use whey and/or casein protein, which are byproducts of the production of cheese and yogurt. These dairy-based proteins are known for their tendency to trigger digestive problems, particularly in the one-third of adults who experience lactose intolerance. Individuals with lactose intolerance lack the enzymes to fully break down lactose, the sugar in dairy products. As mentioned previously, the incomplete digestion of food can lead to unfavorable gastrointestinal side effects.

Our meal replacements are made with real foods.

The overwhelming majority of meal replacement powders contain protein concentrates or isolates, which are stripped-down versions of real food. Instead of being listed as “peas” or “whey,” they are labeled as “pea protein” or “whey protein.” These protein sources undergo extensive mechanical and chemical processing. In some cases, chemical solvents like hexane are employed to extract the protein from its source. Consequently, the protein in your protein shake looks nothing like real food.

Your digestive system is designed to handle minimally-processed or unprocessed natural foods, not synthetic imitations. Consuming anything other than real food can lead to undesirable side effects. While the long-term impact of consuming processed ingredients like protein isolates is still being investigated, emerging research indicates that they can significantly disrupt the composition of your gut microbiota.

Apart from its role in food digestion, the gut microbiome serves as a protective barrier against harmful pathogens, plays a vital role in educating your immune system, and has direct and indirect effects on various physiological processes. It is evident that imbalances in the delicate equilibrium of the gut microbiome have been associated with the development of numerous chronic diseases. Considering this link, it is in your best interest to steer clear of meal replacement powders made with protein concentrates and isolates.

We use egg whites and almonds instead of protein concentrates and isolates to make our meal replacement powders. Egg whites undergo a simple process of pasteurization and drying, while almonds are roasted, pressed to remove some oil, and finely ground. Both egg whites and almonds serve as easily digestible and gut-friendly alternatives to protein concentrates and isolates.

Real food protein sources like egg whites and almonds contain a variety of enzymes and digestive aids that facilitate digestion. In contrast, protein isolates and concentrates have been stripped of these digestive aids, making them challenging for the body to digest and absorb. As a result, our customers consistently report experiencing fewer gastrointestinal side effects with our meal replacements compared to alternatives.

Have you ever bought a big container of meal replacement powder only to realize that it upsets your stomach, or that you do not like how it tastes? At this point, you either have to throw it out, or choke it down, neither of which is any fun. (If only you could have tried it first…) This is why we offer samples. We know that our meal replacement powders are delicious and easy to digest, but we want you to see for yourself. If you like them, now you have a better idea of which flavor you like best. If you do not like them, no sweat.; at least you did not spend fifty dollars on something that you have to pour down the drain.

1 meal replacement sample pack contains 1 meal. Because we do not use food additives to help our powders mix, we recommend mixing the contents of each protein powder sample pack with 1-2 cups cold milk or waterin a blender. If shakes are not your thing, you can also add your samples to oatmeal, yogurt, or even baked goods. Check out some of our high protein recipes. 

Our meal replacement powder samples are made in Plymouth, Massachusetts in a FDA-Registered, GMP-Certified facility. Although we source ingredients from around the world, our primary ingredients (egg whites, almonds, oats, etc.) come from US farms.
