A gut-friendly vanilla protein powder.
4 simple ingredients: egg whites, coconut, vanilla, monk fruit.
3 reasons why it is easy to digest.
1. Our vanilla egg white protein powder is additive-free.
Our vanilla 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, 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.
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.
our vanilla protein power ingredients:
egg whites, coconut, vanilla, monk fruit
the alternative:
Protein Matrix Comprised of (Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate, Micellar Casein, Milk Protein Isolate, Egg Albumen, Glutamine Peptides), Polydextrose, Sunflower Creamer (Sunflower Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate, Mono- and Diglycerides, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Soy Lecithin, Tocopherols), Natural and Artificial Flavor, MCT Powder (Medium Chain Triglycerides, Nonfat Dry Milk, Disodium Phosphate, Silicon Dioxide), Lecithin, Cellulose Gum, Salt, Yellow 5, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Papain, Bromelain
*This is the actual ingredient list of one of the best-selling protein powders in the United States.
2. Our vanilla egg white protein powder is dairy-free.
Our vanilla protein powder is dairy-free. Most protein powders are made with dairy-based proteins. 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. Our vanilla 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 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.
Stomach-friendly vanilla egg white protein powder.
Our gut-friendly vanilla egg white protein powder is additive-free, dairy-free, and made with real foods, not protein isolates. It is 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. Happy customers include people with Candidiasis, Crohn’s, diverticulitis, gastritis, gastroparesis, GERD, lactose intolerance, leaky gut, IBS, IBD, SIBO, and ulcerative colitis.

FAQ
What is vanilla protein powder?
Protein powder is, to put it simply, a powdered version of high protein foods. The main dietary protein source in our vanilla 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 vanilla egg white protein powder. Drying involves spraying liquid egg whites into a chamber through which hot air is passing. This process removes almost all of the moisture, leaving behind a fine white powder, which we flavor with coconut, vanilla, and monk fruit.
Why should I use vanilla protein powder?
Vanilla protein powder is first and foremost a convenient way to increase your protein intake and meet your dietary protein needs. Depending on what your diet looks like, increasing your protein intake can also help you gain weight or lose weight. Basically, if adding vanilla egg white protein powder to your diet helps you achieve and maintain a calorie deficit, you will lose weight, and if it helps you achieve and maintain a calorie surplus, you will gain weight. Check out our pages on weight gain and weight loss to learn more.
How do I use vanilla protein powder?
6 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder can be mixed with 1-2 cups of cold milk or water to make a protein shake. It can also be added to smoothies, oatmeal, and recipes for an easy protein boost. If you choose to make a protein shake, use a blender or shaker bottle. Unlike other companies, we do not use food additives to help our vanilla egg white protein powder dissolve.
When do I use vanilla protein powder?
The best time to add vanilla protein powder to your diet is in the morning. Eating lots of protein breakfast will keep you full until lunch, discourage overeating, and reduce snacking later in the day. Higher protein intake at breakfast is also associated with higher total daily protein intake. In other words, a high protein breakfast, despite its satiating effects, allows you to maximize the amount of protein that you consume over the course of the day. That said, you can use vanilla egg white protein any time to day to boost your protein intake.
Where is vanilla protein powder made?
Whereas many vanilla protein powders are manufactured overseas, our vanilla egg white protein powder is handmade in Plymouth, Massachusetts in a GFSI-Certified facility inspected by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Massachusetts Board of Health.

Aurelia –
I am an avid exerciser and enjoy taking protein drinks after my workouts. drink wholesome is the only protein powder that does not upset my stomach. I also love the clean and simple ingredients!!!
Penny –
I was diagnosed with Lupus recently and your drinks are the only ones I can tolerate that don’t aggravate a flare up. The flavor is good, better with milk than with water.
Emilio Morris –
Hard to mix without a blender. Good flavor though and no bloating or gas.
Mandi –
This protein is the only only only one I can tolerate! I love it.
Mary –
Really enjoy this protein powder. I like that it doesn’t have a chalky artificial taste, and I like that it’s not overly sweet. I make it with lactose free milk and add coffee to it and it really gets me through the morning. I’ve tried the samples of vanilla and mocha also, and am looking forward to ordering the full size bags of those flavors as well.
Salvatore A Carollo –
As a college kid and athlete this protein is great. It doesn’t disturb my Ulcerative Colitis like many other protein brands that have additives, and it is very light. It is slightly pricey for 14 servings in comparison to other brands however the quality holds up making it worth it for me.
Elizabeth –
Cannot thank you enough for creating such an overall body friendly product! I’m super sensitive to processed foods, preservatives, and chemicals. I’m prone to migraines but with the beautiful simple ingredients in your drinks I have no issues! Love the vanilla! I’m hooked on your protein!!! ❤️
Tina –
I have diverticulitis and this have been a lifesaver. It’s the only thing that I can stomach during a flare up, and it is tastes amazing. Highly recommend.
Tara See –
Over the years I’ve tried different powders and they all have tasted terrible. So I gave up, until I found DrinkWholesome. Minimal ingredients, awesome flavors and keeps me satisfied during my work day! So far I’ve tried vanilla & peanut butter – next chocolate! Order the sample pack, that’s what I did and I was sold.
Shayla –
Hi . I bought a couple samples . Honestly hands down the best protein powder I’ve ever had . I barely taste anything with the vanilla flavors it’s just like drinking a glass of water . It gives me exactly what I need . I’m ordering a full bag now . Thanks for making these products .
I also recommend this product to my nutritionist. She’s going to be recommend it to her gastric bypass patients now . She’s very impressed with how you’ve made these so healthy.
You can add a teaspoon of sugar free jello pudding powder for flavor its amazing . Recommend by my nutritionist.
Gordo –
Love this product. Getting over a severe flare up with diverticulitis and this was the only source of protein I could handle without having any pain afterwards.
Rese –
It’s delicious!! Just tried it and I’m so happy. I’m on a strict alkaline diet and all the other proteins have at least one ingredient I can’t have. So happy…thank you!
Kayla –
I love this stuff!! I currently have vanilla, chocolate, and PB, and love all 3😍😍😍. Finally found a protein powder that doesn’t make me bloated.
Ryan –
Just wanted to say your protein powder is amazing. Have had Crohn’s for 30+ years. I do a lot of yogurt smoothies, but wanted to get more protein. Found you online and tried it. Well done! Anyone with Crohn’s should be aware of your product.
Sydnee Carney –
TALK ABOUT A GAME CHANGER! This protein changed my life and made my tummy even happier! Every vegan and whey protein I’ve tried has immediately hurt my stomach after drinking it, BUT THIS ONE is DIFFERENT! No bloating, cramps or gas!! I am so happy with this product, you won’t be disappointed!☺️ Now go get yours!
Mallory –
Thank you for creating this product ! I have gastroparesis and this is the only thing that has worked for me! I have tried every other protein powder and it all makes me throw up sick! I tried yours tonight and my stomach doesn’t hurt and I’m not sick!! Thank you again!!!
angelena –
I ordered the samples before I committed to a large bag because I was skeptical. I’ve tried a lot of other protein powders and they messed up my gut health SO BAD. I’ve been taking digestive enzymes and leaky gut supplements so I was nervous to try a new protein powder as it took a long time to get back on track, but this stuff. THIS STUFF. I used the chobani lactose free milk with the vanilla tastes like the inside of an almond joy and I got 40 grams of protein in. Also for all my calorie counters/ gym rats in cutting season, the unflavored powder has 90 cals, plus 1/2 cup of the chobani milk is 80. 170 calories, 30 grams of protein and it’s just like you’re drinking regular milk. Add vanilla extract or fruits for extra flavor but needless to say this will be my new go to!
Olivia –
Taste great, I mix it with hazelnut milk, bananas and peanut butter!
Great meal supplement, I drink them for lunch and it keeps me full the whole day.
No upset stomach! I’ve tried other protein powders in the past including HUEL, that just messed me up internally. These simple ingredients agree much better with my stomach.
Robert Kosoff –
Really good product and the customer service is fantastic.
Amy –
Tastes great blended with frozen fruit. It’s hard to describe, but this protein powder just makes me feel good! I used to use whey, and it always made with bloated and gassy. I’m so glad that I stumbled across drink wholesome. Definitely good if you’re lactose sensitive.
Maddy Mac –
Love love love. I have gastritis and this is good for me. Thank you!! I finally feel like I can have a consistent diet.
Iman Habib –
Love it. Hope they come up with protein bars and expand more!
Andrea Deptula –
Very good! No stomach issues anymore! I love the short list of ingredients. I ordered samples before I committed to a large bag, that’s a nice option that many other companies do not offer.
I am a new customer for sure!
Melissa J –
First of all, I love that you can see the specs of vanilla. That’s now you know it’s real! Overall, I can’t say enough good things about this flavor and the company. I ordered samples a few weeks ago and had a bunch of questions. I called and left a voicemail. Someone call me right back and was so helpful. He even gave me two extra samples free of charge. I just ordered my first full bag a few days ago and couldn’t be happier. It’s the first time that a protein powder has given me zero stomach issues. Kudos for the great product and customer service.
Hayley –
So happy I found drink wholesome!! The vanilla is perfect for smoothies. I mix it with frozen strawberries, blueberries, and almond milk. Easy to digest and a great way to start my day.
Jesse –
Awesome shake. I’ve had Crohn’s disease for 2+0 years and it’s always been hard to find a protein powder my stomach could handle. I have no problem with digestion and it taste great. Highly recommend if you have any type of IBS or Crohn’s.
Sage Nocera –
Great tasting, easy digesting protein powder at an affordable price.
Whitney Johnson –
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 breakfast once again but to feel great about it since it’s only real food and minimal sugar! The vanilla tastes like a less sugary-sweet vanilla milkshake (I drink mine with almond milk). 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 the yummiest vanilla latte! 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!
Maddie R –
The ONLY protein powder I buy. Real ingredients that taste REAL good 🙂
Sage Nocera –
This is one of the top proteins for those who tend to have trouble digesting protein supplements. Not to mention it also taste great and at a reasonable price.
JACQUELINE PACE –
I was so worried about the taste of this being just horrible but I was so wrong! It taste good and it doesn’t mess up my stomach. My ONLY complaint is the cost is a little high for me but other than that it is great!
Larry Y –
I’ve tried a lot of brands but this is the best protein powder I’ve had. Limited and simple ingridients, no artificial sweeteners and great taste make this one my go to!
Constance Ramon –
I have tried other powder protein drinks and they always upset my stomach. Frustrating 🙁 However, with wholesome drink it’s comfortably filling and sooo delicious! I am a very happy and thankful customer 😊
Getchie Argetsinger –
I love this protein powder…delicious and filling…first protein powder I have found that does NOT upset my stomach! Thank you for this wonderful, whole food product!
Sage Nocera –
Having tried my fair share of protein blends. This one is definitely at the top of my preferences. Digest easily as well as taste and mixes great.
Susan McKevitt –
Thanks for including the scoop, it makes it much easier to measure a serving. I can’t wait to get my grandsons onto this. They may go for a different flavor but hey, all good. Thanks for being so accommodating to my needs. I love your service…and the product!
Emily Mcclelland –
I can’t have most protein powders and this is the cleanest out there. Tastes great too.
Arnaldo Colon –
So far great! Personally I have always been ok with eggs and I am tolerating the product without issue. I have a really sensitive stomach and have been bouncing between mostly vegan varieties of post workout protein supplements. Please fix the sample, it’s confusing. It’s a partial serving meant for tasting, but that’s not clear.
David Figueroa-Ortiz –
It takes like smooth vanilla milk! No after taste; no chalkiness; just pure milk. It mixes easily without clumping. I use it in smoothies and, my new favorite snack: I put a serving of the powder into Greek yogurt, add a little milk or water, and mix it up for a flavorful and super high protein treat.
Jessica Kowalski –
The best vanilla protein powder I have ever had. It tastes like a vanilla milkshake. I love it and the ingredients! I wish it came in a bigger bag!
Kimberly Valpey –
Delicious and easy to prepare. I sometimes add banana, molasses, or peanut butter. It gets me ready for the day!
Beverly Brown –
Finally, a protein shake that actually tastes good! It mixes well and all the ingredients are good for you. I’m using the vanilla and I often add other ingredients: banana, peanut butter, cocoa, fruit jam, etc. You guys are doing a great job – thank you!!!
