1. drink wholesome is additive-free.
Most protein powders are full of food additives. Although not necessarily bad for you in small quantities, additives can add up quickly (especially if you drink a protein shake every day) and cause gastrointestinal (GI) side effects like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, and stomach pain. This is because food additives are, generally speaking, hard to digest. They sit in your gut for longer than food should, which gives your gut bacteria more time to eat. As they eat, these bacteria produce gas, which causes bloating and stomach pain. Gas also slows colonic transit (the amount of time it takes food to travel through the colon) and 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. Artificial sweeteners are among the most harmful additives in the long term as they alter the composition of your gut microbiota (the collection of microorganisms that help you digest food). This can lead to serious, chronic GI problems, widespread inflammation, and permanent damage to the gut microbiome. Some sweeteners, especially sugar alcohols like xylitol, are also poorly absorbed by the gut (meaning they feed those hungry gut bacteria) and cause diarrhea because they draw water into your intestine. Now you finally have something to blame for those post-protein shake trips to the bathroom!
Here is a list of the most common food additives in protein 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 it comes to identifying food additives, go with your gut. 😉 As a rule of thumb, they are the ingredients that you cannot pronounce. Food additives are not the only thing to look out for when buying peanut butter protein powder, however. There are several other ingredients that can upset your stomach.

2. drink wholesome is dairy-free.
Dairy-based proteins like whey and casein, which are byproducts of cheese and yogurt production, 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.
Finding an additive-free, dairy-free protein powder is hard. Finding an additive-free, dairy-free protein powder made with real foods is next to impossible. Why? Most protein powders are made with protein concentrates and isolates, foods stripped of everything but the protein. They are listed on the ingredient list as “pea protein,” for example, as opposed to “peas.” We will not go into the details, but protein concentrates and isolates undergo heavy mechanical and chemical processing before becoming protein powder. Sometimes, manufacturers use chemical solvents like hexane to isolate (separate) the protein from the food. This means that what you end up putting into your body looks nothing like real food. The problem with ingredients that look nothing like real food is that they are hard to digest; 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 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.
Switch to drink wholesome.
Our protein powders are additive-free, dairy-free, and made with real foods, not protein isolates. They are perfect for people with gut issues and sensitive stomachs, as well as for people just looking to boost their protein intake without the processing and added junk. Our happy customers include people with Candidiasis, Crohn’s, diverticulitis, gastritis, gastroparesis, GERD, lactose intolerance, leaky gut, IBS, IBD, SIBO, and ulcerative colitis.

BEST PROTEIN POWDER ON THE MARKET!!! WISH THEY MADE GALLON JUGS OF THIS STUFF I RUN OUT TO QUICKLY!!!
Christian Rossi –
You should buy this just for the ingredients. They’re much better than the crap in other protein supplements!!! The fact that it tastes half decent is just a bonus. FYI tastes way better in milk than water. Needs a good blender or shaker too. Don’t use a spoon, it will make a mess.
Emma Brown –
This is the best flavor. If you blend it with oat milk and a frozen banana, it tastes just like ice cream!!! I love the ingredients, the concept, the packaging, and most of all how it makes me feel. Lifetime customer here.
Jen –
HOLY CRAP, I finally found a clean protein that taste amazing! Give this a shot if you are looking for something that is clean and does not taste like chalk.
Anna Smith –
I’m glad there are protein shake companies that have fewer ingredients and are mindful of acid reflux! I can’t drink other protein shakes now because my acid reflux got worse. My only criticism is that you really have to work at it to make it mix in a shaker bottle. I recommend using a blender.
Helen –
My whole family uses drink wholesome! We love the clean feel of the product. There’s no funky or super sweet aftertaste. We also love the way the smoothie gives lasting energy throughout the morning. We make it with banana, almond milk, almond yogurt, and a little ice. My one criticism is that it is a bit hard to mix. You definitely need a good blender.
Emily –
I can’t eat dairy/gluten and struggle with extreme bloating. drink wholesome protein powder doesn’t cause me any issues like other protein powders do! I genuinely love the taste and it helps me get my protein in without hurting my stomach! I’ve ordered from you guys 3 times now and love all the flavors!
Shay Jager –
I spent 9 months and wasted a couple hundred dollars looking for something like this. I have colitis and really need protein powder, but nothing agrees with my stomach…except for drink wholesome! I just mix it with plain soy milk. Zero stomach pain whatsoever.
Joe –
This protein powder – unlike literally every other protein powder I’ve tried – does not make me run to the bathroom. I honestly don’t even care how it tastes. That alone does it for me.
Nancy Kern –
This flavor is sooo good! It’s like a milkshake, but you don’t feel like crap after drinking it. Definitely good for anyone with IBS or Crohn’s.
Zane P –
I’ve been looking for an additive-free protein powder for years. As somebody with IBD that has always struggled with diet, this makes my life so much easier and I feel like I have more flexibility with my diet.
Josh Witt –
I was having trouble mixing it my blender bottle. Switched to a blender and had no problem. When I mix it with water, it foams a lot, so I recommend using milk. Otherwise, great product.
Monica –
I like drink wholesome because of how filling it is. 1 serving is enough to keep me full until lunch. If you’re trying to cut back on snacking, I recommend adding some protein to your breakfast. It has made a huge difference for me.
Darby Watson –
I’m loving this flavor. Really good customer service too! A bag broke during shipping and they replaced it right away.
Dustin Davis –
Finally a protein powder that isn’t full of junk. The flavor is really really good too. It actually tastes like peanuts. It’s a bit hard to mix if you don’t have a blender (which I don’t), but if you don’t mind little clumps, then go for it!
Austen –
The zipper is hard to close which is annoying. Makes good protein bars.
Autumn Korn –
This is the best protein powder in terms of taste. It has a natural and rich flavor. Love the clean ingredients too. I will say that the serving size is pretty large. This would make for a good meal replacement.
Sebastian Williams –
This is the better protein powder out there. After years of chalky shakes I almost gave up. Then I found this. It has an amazing peanut butter flavor.
Austen March –
I would recommend Drink Wholesome to anyone. Fast shipping, good customer service, and an exceptional product. It really does taste good and I love the simple ingredients. Thank you!!!
Kenzie –
This protein powder has taken my oatmeal to the next level. I can’t say enough good things about how it tastes!!! A good option for people with acid reflux.
Harold –
The serving size is bigger than the sample pack. Not an issue, just a heads up. Really good product. It makes me feel good.
Justice Ndaye –
I actually cannot get enough of this stuff!! My dietician recommend it to me and I’ve been having it every day. The flavor is so good and it makes me feel good too.
Lucy Hopewell –
This flavor is CRAZY good if you like peanut butter. I add it to my morning smoothie with oat milk, banana, ice, protein powder.
Sarah Wiggins –
I have gastritis and this is the only protein powder that doesn’t upset my stomach. I like the flavor too. I blend it with a frozen banana for a quick, on-the-go breakfast.
Pamela –
So glad I found this. The ingredients are simple and the flavor is perfect. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. Doesn’t give me gas either, which I can’t say about any other protein powder. Mixes well in a shaker bottle. My only complaint is that I wish the bag was bigger because I go through it too fast.
Helen Halvorsen –
Drink Wholesome does not make bad flavors!!! I’m obsessed.
Danny Kim –
Great for sensitive stomachs. Flavor is really really good. I mix it with almond milk.
