JACK’S STORY – sick of meal replacement powders that upset his stomach, Jack made with own with a short list of simple ingredients
Why drink wholesome?
Our vanilla meal replacement powder is additive-free.
One of the reasons why we make the best vanilla meal replacement powder for sensitive stomachs is that we do not use any food additives whatsoever. Even in small amounts, added ingredients like these can cause painful side effects, especially if you have a sensitive stomach.
Basically, food additives look nothing like real food, making them hard to digest. In some cases, this can cause your colon to absorb extra water and/or prevent your colon from absorbing water. The result is osmotic diarrhea.
Partially digested food additives also spend extra time in your gut, feeding your hungry gut bacteria. Gut bacteria produce gas as they eat, so more time to eat means more gas. Excess gas can cause bloating, flatulence, and stomach pain. It can also slow colonic transit – the amount of time it takes food to travel through the colon – leading to constipation.
Here is a list of the most common food additives in meal replacement 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
What is more, regularly eating food additives can disturb regulatory pathways in your intestines, triggering the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other systemic inflammatory disorders. Food additives, especially artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, can also disrupt your gut microbiome – the collection of microorganisms living in your gut. An unhealthy gut microbiome is a leading cause of inflammation, and linked to the onset and progression of several chronic diseases.
egg whites, almonds, oats, coconut, cocoa, monk fruit
the alternative:
SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE, CANOLA OIL, MALTODEXTRIN, ISOMALTULOSE, SOLUBLE CORN FIBER, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, VITAMIN AND MINERAL PREMIX, CELLULOSE, NATURAL & ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, SOY LECITHIN, SALT, MONO & DIGLYCERIDE, XANTHAN GUM, SUCRALOSE
Our vanilla meal replacement powder is dairy-free.
Another reason why we make the best vanilla meal replacement powder for sensitive stomachs is that we do not use dairy-based proteins. Whey and casein, which are byproducts of cheese and yogurt production, and known to cause digestive issues. This is especially true for people with lactose intolerance, which affects over 1 in 3 adults. Lactose intolerant individuals are unable to fully digest lactose, the sugar in dairy. As you now know, foods that resist digestion can lead to a number of painful side effects.
Our vanilla meal replacement powder is made with real foods.
A final reason why we make the best vanilla meal replacement powder for sensitive stomachs is that we do not use protein concentrates or isolates. Nearly all other meal replacement powders are made from one or both of these protein sources.
Protein concentrates and isolates are foods stripped of everything but the protein. They undergo heavy mechanical and chemical processing, sometimes with solvents like hexane. As a result, what you put into your body looks nothing like real food.
Your gut is designed to digest minimally or unprocessed foods, not protein concentrates or isolates. More and more research, it follows, is finding that regularly eating refined ingredients like these can alter the composition of your gut microbiome. This is the last thing you want if you have a sensitive stomach.
Instead of using protein concentrates or isolates, we make the best vanilla meal replacement powder for sensitive stomachs with egg whites and almonds. Minimally-processed protein sources like these are a gut-healthy alternative to protein concentrates and isolates.
Unlike protein isolates and concentrates, whole foods contain enzymes and digestive aids that help you break them down. Egg whites are also low in fiber, low FODMAP, alkaline (maintain healthy pH levels in your gut), and bioactive (promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria). Almonds, on the other hand, are prebiotic, meaning they improve diversity and composition of the gut microbiome. They promote regular and healthy bowel movements too.
+ FAQs Meal replacement powders are blends of powdered foods intended to replace the nutritional value of a meal. A good meal replacement has a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. The main source of complete protein in our vanilla meal replacement powder is egg whites. The main source of complex carbohydrates is gluten-free oats. The main source of healthy fats is almonds. Together, these ingredients will fill you up and give you the nutrition you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. Canilla meal replacement powder can be mixed with milk or water to make a quick, nutritious meal. A meal replacement is not nutritionally superior to any other type of food, it is just easier to eat. If you cannot get enough calories and protein from other foods, adding a meal replacement to your diet can help stay strong and healthy. A high protein meal replacement can also be used as a low calorie (yet filling) alternative to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Many of our customers use meal replacement powder because they have trouble digesting other foods. They choose our vanilla meal replacement powder because is is made specifically for people with gut issues and sensitive stomachs. To make a vanilla meal replacement shake, mix 1 serving with 1-2 cups of cold milk or water. The best time to add vanilla meal replacement powder to your diet is in the morning. The 30 grams of protein will keep you full until lunch, discourage overeating, and reduce snacking later in the day. That said, you can use meal replacement powder any time of day for a quick, nutritious meal. Our meal replacement powder is 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.What is vanilla meal replacement powder?

My 87 year old father has been dealing with serious gi issues lately. He has been losing weight as a result and I was desperate to find something to help him gain it back. After trying half a dozen different shakes, we finally came across this one! It’s the only shake he’s been able tolerate and for that I’m so grateful ❤️❤️❤️.

The only meal replacement I could find that doesn’t have soy, dairy, or pea protein. I love how it tastes (not chalky at all) and most of all I love how it makes me feel. No bloating or gas for the first time!

No stomach issues and great flavor. It doesn’t mix easily, though, which has taken some getting used to.

Thank you for your product and service. I have been struggling with Crohn’s symptoms more than usual lately and I feel that your product may be a better alternative to drinks like orgain, and the like. Even though I would prefer to use an all organic product, I understand you are using the best and most simple natural ingredients possible with the resources available to you. I hope your company continues to grow to the point where you can afford to use the highest possible quality ingredients available. Wishing you highest success!

I’m 42 and have been dealing with acid reflux for year now. This is, to date, the only meal replacement that doesn’t cause symptoms. I’ve been having a tough time eating solid food lately, so having a good, safe meal replacement on hand has been important.

I had such a hard time finding meal replacement without artificial sweeteners or stevia. This is the only one I found, and I really like the flavor. It’s not too sweet and there is not aftertaste. I do wish there were more calories per meal, however. I hope you guys consider making a higher calorie option in the future.

I find it hard to find a meal replacement powder that doesn’t have over a handful of ingredients in it AND doesn’t have lots of sugar. This checks both of those boxes and tastes great.

I discovered your brand as I was searching for meal replacement powders for my mom who is going through chemotherapy. Drink Wholesome stood out to me as most other brands had so many harmful and inflammatory ingredients. After thorough research and analysis, I have come to the conclusion that your meal replacement stands out from the competition in terms of quality, effectiveness, and overall customer satisfaction.

It is delicious and definitely great for my digestive system. No after taste. I bought vanilla and mixed with almond milk. Sometimes there are clumps of powder that are hard to break up unless you use a blender.

I have been an avid user of Drink Wholesome products for about 2 years now. Throughout my weight loss journey, I used the vanilla meal replacement after every workout (and sometimes for breakfast) and have seen amazing results. It is easy on my gut, tastes amazing, and I look forward to drinking it! The only thing I don’t like is the number of servings per bag. I wish there were more.

My dear cousin has stage 4 cancer, and due to chemo treatments she has very little appetite. So I sent her 2 of the meal replacements, vanilla & chocolate.
The vanilla is her favorite , she says the flavor is great and doesn’t make her feel nauseous. She’s going on her 3rd round of chemo and I just ordered 2 more of the vanilla for her.

I bought this to replace some solid foods that cause acid reflux. It is a good replacement, tastes good, especially mixed with a banana or peanut butter. I use a blender and it mixes fine. One of my selling points other than gut friendly was that it’s made with monk fruit. I’ve been using monk fruit as a substitute for sugar now for 10 years. Say goodbye to sugar.

I’m 35 and have gastroparesis and IBS-C and these meal replacements have been nice, mainly because of the ingredients. It can be extremely hard to find a meal replacement that do not cause flareups because of so many unnecessary additives.

I have so many food allergies so finding a meal replacement that I can have and tastes good was so hard to find for so long. Until I found you! Drink wholesome is the best tasting meal replacement I’ve had and makes me feel so amazing after my workout or even after dinner for dessert! I just wish there were bigger bags cause I go through this stuff way too fast.

I just wanted to write to thank you for creating a meal replacement that’s actually digestible without the unwanted GI side effects! I have tried countless meal replacement and every single one left me cramping or running to the bathroom. This is truly the only meal replacement I have tried that doesn’t create side effects. I’ve recently upped my protein intake and drink wholesome is now an invaluable part of my day. I am so grateful to have found you!
