1. Our unflavored egg white protein powder is additive-free.
Our unflavored protein powder is additive-free. Most protein powders, on the other hand, 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 hard to digest, and 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, causing bloating and stomach pain. Gas also slows colonic transit (the amount of time it takes food to travel through the colon), which can lead to constipation. In the long term, food additives can disrupt regulatory pathways in the intestine and trigger the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and systemic inflammatory disorders.
When buying unflavored protein powder, one ingredient to avoid in particular is artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners are among the most harmful food 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 protein powder, however. There are several other ingredients that can upset your stomach.

2. Our unflavored egg white protein powder is dairy-free.
Our unflavored protein powder is dairy-free. Most protein powders are made with dairy-based proteins like whey and casein, which 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. Our unflavored egg white protein powder is made with real foods.
Most protein powders, on the contrary, are made with protein concentrates and/or isolates, foods stripped of everything but the protein. They are listed on the ingredient list as “pea protein” and “whey protein” as opposed to “peas” and “whey.” I 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.
If you think about it, your gut was designed to digest naturally occurring foods, not laboratory formulated imitations, so if you feed it anything but real food, it might get upset. The long term implications of eating processed foods are still not well understood, but more and more research is finding that it can alter the composition of your gut microbiota, and lead to permanent damage to the gut microbiome. It is therefore in your best interest to avoid protein powders made with protein concentrates and isolates.
Instead of using 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 your gut. Egg whites are low in fiber, low-FODMAP, naturally alkaline, and have the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of any whole food. Our customers have experienced fewer digestive issues with egg white protein than with any other type of protein.

FAQ
What is the best unflavored protein powder?
This is the best unflavored protein powder. Protein powder is, to put it simply, a powdered version of high protein foods. It is not nutritionally superior to any other dietary protein, it is just more convenient to eat. The main dietary protein in our unflavored protein powder is egg whites, the clear liquid that surrounds the yellow yolk of an egg. Egg whites are naturally high in protein, so all we have to do is pasteurize and dry them to make unflavored egg white protein powder. Compared to what it takes to extract protein from other foods (peas, milk etc.), this is hardly processing. We can therefore guarantee that this unflavored protein powder is the most natural (least processed) protein powder on the planet. If that does not make it the best unflavored protein powder, then your priorities are mixed up.
What to mix with unflavored protein powder??
We recommend mixing unflavored protein powder with 1-2 cups of cold milk. If protein shakes are not your thing, you can mix unflavored protein powder with oatmeal and yogurt, or add it to baked goods.
What to make with unflavored protein powder?
You can make smoothies, pancakes, and overnight oats with unflavored protein powder. Check out our unflavored protein powder recipes for more ideas.
Which unflavored protein powder tastes the best?
Looking for the best protein powder unflavored? This is the best tasting unflavored protein powder because it is made with real foods, not protein isolates. Protein isolates, which are listed on the ingredient list as “pea protein” and “whey protein” as opposed to “peas” and “whey,” are the main source of protein in 99% of protein supplements. They have a chalky aftertaste because they have been stripped of the nutrients that make food taste good. Try our protein powder unflavored flavor to taste the real food difference.
How to make unflavored protein powder taste better?
Here are a few things that might make your unflavored protein powder taste better. First, use a blender or shaker bottle. Second, mix it with milk, not water. Third, add ice or (even better) a frozen banana.

I recently tried the unflavored protein powder and thought it was great! I’m always looking for more protein options that are not only convenient but have whole food ingredients. This fits the bill, and has been a great addition to my smoothies. The only problem is that the powder gets stuck in the zipper, which makes the bag hard to close. I had to put it in a tupperware.
Pedro –
I love your egg white protein. As a person who enjoys being active, running, hiking, gym time and someone who suffers from IBD I highly recommend egg white protein.
Madelyn –
After doing internet research I was stoked to find Drink Wholesome. I love that I now don’t have to worry about stomach irritation but can still get the protein I need. My mom, (who has Crohn’s disease) can also tolerate it as well. It feels very relieving to find something that works for my ever-changing GI issues.
Marissa Hedges –
I’m someone who has struggled with gut issues so YEARS and it’s really challenging for me to find brand that I really love. I’ve also tried ALL the brands and nothing meets my stands the way that drink wholesome does. This unflavored protein powder is simple and the perfect addition to my morning smoothie.
Jenny –
Love this product. It is easy on the stomach. I have tried lots of protein powders, this is a keeper.
Becky –
If you’re anything like me, this protein powder will change your life. I have been experiencing weight loss for months due to a serious IBS flare up. I haven’t been able to stomach much at all, including any of the supplements that my gastroenterologist recommended. I found this simple protein powder online a few weeks ago and it is one of the only things that I can tolerate. Seriously, no side effects whatsoever. It helps me get my protein in and you can add it to pretty much anything. I can’t thank you guys enough!!!
Mia –
I have ulcerative colitis and this is the only protein powders that doesn’t upset my stomach. Flavor is neutral and you can barely notice it in smoothies.
Lauren –
LOVE this product. It is taste-less in my smoothies / overnight oats and the macro’s are incredible. I stopped using whey because it was really hurting my stomach and this doesn’t bloat me at all. Will definitely be repurchasing!
Pam Cuniff –
I was pretty nervous about trying a new protein powder given how sensitive my stomach is, so I went with the unflavored. So far so good. I just add it to my smoothies. I think I will try the vanilla flavor next. I was recently diagnosed with IBD, and pretty much everything hurts these days, so it’s nice to have something safe.
Laura –
I love this protein powder!! It is the ONLY one out there that hasn’t caused me stomach issues.
Dotsie –
I highly recommend this to anyone with acid reflux or GERD.
Natalie Hoskins –
I have IBS and this has been a lifesaver. It’s really hard for me to get enough protein and my dietician recommended protein powder. I tried a whole bunch and they all upset my stomach, except for this one! I’m not a big sweet things, so the unflavored does the trick.
Steph Dionne –
I add it to my smoothies. It doesn’t really taste like much and I like that I know exactly what’s in it. Doesn’t make me run to the bathroom like other proteins which is nice.
Kelly –
This is the only protein powder I’ve tried that doesn’t make me bloated. I was just diagnosed with Crohn’s.
Holly –
Tastes great and doesn’t spike my blood sugar. It foams a lot, but I found that adding peanut butter helps. 1 bag lasts me 3 weeks.
Noelle Du –
I add it to my greens smoothies. It’s perfect. The bag is a bit hard to close though.
Tina Hoppel –
This stuff rocks! I put in everything and love that is made with 1 ingredient. Other protein powders are so full of crap!!! Definitely good value for your money.
Katherine Ryan –
I’ve been making peanut butter protein balls with this. They come out perfect every time. Not chalky or gritty. Easy five stars!!!
Trevor McCullen –
Really good. I like how filling it is. I would not recommend mixing it with just water. Doing so makes a foamy mess.
Michelle Yoast –
Really small serving size which is nice. Didn’t realize it didn’t come with scoop. Not a big deal really. Mixes so well. Barely tastes like anything. Only complaint is the size of the bag – will have to order more soon!
Thomas Heinz –
I’m a huge fan of drink wholesome and I’ve had all of the other flavors. I gave the unflavored a try not expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It really doesn’t taste like much at all. I add it to my smoothie with banana and peanut butter and it’s like it’s not even there. 90 calories for 20 grams of protein is impressive too. Really good product.
