Why Is Our Vegan Almond Protein Powder Safe for Sensitive Stomachs?
There are three types of protein powder ingredients notorious for causing digestive issues.
They are 1) food additives, 2) dairy-based proteins, and 3) ultra-processed protein concentrates and isolates.
99% of protein supplements contain one or more of these problematic ingredients, whereas Drink Wholesome doesn’t.
In fact, there’s nothing in Drink Wholesome you couldn’t find in nature or prepare at home.
Just look at the short list of simple ingredients!

almonds
coconut
vanilla
monk fruit

- acesulfame potassium
- artificial flavors
- carrageenan
- erythritol
- guar gum

- xanthan gum

It's Additive-Free
Our Vegan Almond Protein Powder doesn’t contain any food additives whatsoever.
This is good news for sensitive stomachs because certain additives, especially artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, and thickeners, could cause digestive issues. (FASEB J, 2025)
There are many reasons why food additives might upset your stomach, and individual tolerances vary.
That said, most food additives are ultra-processed, meaning they look nothing like whole foods.
This could make them hard to digest for some, contributing to side effects like bloating, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
Certain food additives, especially artificial sweeteners, could also alter the composition and function of your gut microbiome. (Eur J Nutr, 2020)
These shifts, known as gut dysbiosis, contribute to many chronic digestive issues. (J Appl Microbiol, 2020)
Dysbiosis is so problematic because it causes intestinal permeability, systemic inflammation, impaired nutrient absorption. (Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr, 2022) (Microorganisms, 2023)
To be fair, little research has investigated the long-term effects of regular food additive consumption on digestive health.
But avoiding food additives certainly can’t hurt, especially if you have a sensitive stomach.
It's Dairy-Free
Our Vegan Almond Protein Powder is free from dairy-based proteins like whey and casein.
The problem with whey and casein is they contain lactose, a sugar most people can’t fully digest. (Am J Clin Nutr, 2019)
As you might imagine, this could upset your stomach.
Note that you may be sensitive to dairy-based proteins even if you’re not lactose intolerant.
This is particularly true for casein protein, which forms a gel-like substance in your stomach that slows down digestion. (Food Chem, 2020)
It's Made from Whole Foods
Our Vegan Almond Protein Powder is made from whole food protein sources, not ultra-processed protein concentrates or isolates.
Protein concentrates and isolates have been mechanically and/or chemically stripped of everything but the protein.
This includes the fiber, enzymes, and other natural digestive aids that help you break them down.
You therefore don’t digest protein concentrates and isolates in the same way that you do whole foods. (J Agric Food Chem, 2023) (Foods, 2022)
For some individuals, this could lead to their fermentation in your gut, which has been linked to inflammation and digestive issues. (Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr, 2017) (Mol Nutr Food Res, 2024)
One study even shows the consumption of concentrates and isolates could alter the composition of your gut microbiome. (Nutrients, 2018)
For the record, protein concentrates and isolates are generally well-tolerated.
But their impact on digestive health is variable, which means they could be problematic for some individuals with sensitive stomachs.
It follows that instead of using protein concentrates or isolates, I use almonds, which are easy to break down and absorb.
Our customers experience few to no digestive issues with our Vegan Almond Protein Powder as a result.

Verified Purchase I'm writing to express my continued, genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for your products. The Vegan Almond Protein Powder has become an absolute staple for me, and I truly love it. I am trying to substitute Almond Protein shake for my breakfast to keep me satiated and provide required protein. Being a vegetarian I appreciate any easy ways to get your required protein for the day and this mix has become my new obsession. 😍
Verified Purchase I have a regular subscription to the vanilla protein powder. I love putting it in my post workout smoothies and now my son loves it also. But in the evenings, when I have bananas that are becoming over ripe, I love to make chocolate chip protein muffins. I’ll even eat them in the mornings after my smoothie if still I’m craving something sweet. I use almond flour, and add some ground flaxseed for extra fiber. So they’re healthy and also so delicious.
Verified Purchase I love it and use it every day with my breakfast - so thankful to have found a protein powder that nourishes my body without any side effects.
Verified Purchase It tastes great, isn't chalky, and is easily digestible.
Verified Purchase It helps me get the protein I need, without all the unnecessary additives found in many other powders. It’s clean and isn’t overly sweet. The texture is good, but only if it you mix it really well.
Verified Purchase I absolutely love the vanilla vegan protein powder! Just what I was looking for. It tastes delicious!!! I am a subscriber!
Verified Purchase I have a chronic inflamation disease known as costochondritis. When it was first diagnosed all other proteins I would tried would cause me so much pain and hurt my stomach. When I found drink wholesome I finally found something that I could eat unashamedly and with out pain. Also with my pregnancy I get GD this is the one protien with out glucose spiking sweeteners so I can maintain good diabetic glucose levels wether pregnant or not. I’ve been using drink wholesome subscription for more than a year now and have since converted some of my family and friends to it as well.
Verified Purchase Product as advertised. Important item to have on the market. Not my favorite in terms of taste, but not bad by any means.
Verified Purchase Highly recommend this clean, pure product. Have tried chocolate and vanilla powder and both taste great; website declares tests have shown no lead or other toxins so this is my new favorite protein powder. Company also sends out emails with recipe suggestions and these are surprisingly tasty.
Verified Purchase Love your stuff!! Go through it so fast!!
