Is SEEQ Protein Powder Good for You?

SEEQ Nutrition Facts

SEEQ is a protein powder, so I will start my SEEQ protein review with the Nutrition Facts.

Before proceeding, it is important to note that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permits up to a 20% margin of error on Nutrition Facts panel values.

So if a serving says it contains 20 grams of protein, it could actually be as low as 16 or as high as 24.

For this reason, I never pay too much attention to the Nutrition Facts.

1 serving SEEQ’s Fruit Punch Protein Powder contains 100 calories and 22 grams of protein.

Assuming that this is correct, 100:22 is a great calorie to protein ratio; in fact, it is about as good as it gets.

There are 4 calories in 1 gram of protein, so if you want to eat 22 grams of protein, you have to eat at least 88 calories.

This means all but 12 calories SEEQ’s Fruit Punch Protein Powder come from protein.

It follows that apart from protein, there is not much else in SEEQ protein powder.

There is no fat, only 1 gram of carbohydrate, no fiber, and no sugar.

This, although probably appealing to some, is concerning to me.

When a protein powder has such an extreme nutrition profile, it is an indication that it is made with ultra-processed ingredients.

SEEQ Ingredients

SEEQ makes unique protein powders; there are not many brands with flavors like Mango Pineapple and Strawberry Lemonade.

I was therefore curious to see what was on the ingredient list, and I was disappointed.

As you can see below, SEEQ uses ultra-processed and even artificial ingredients.

Whey Protein Isolate, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Malic Acid, Sucralose, Polysorbate 80, Sunflower Lecithin, Citric Acid, Beet Root Extract (Color), Reb A (Stevia), Silicone (Anti-Foaming Agent)

Whey Protein Isolate

The first and primary ingredient is Whey Protein Isolate.

Whey protein isolates are made by mechanically and chemically removing the non-protein components of milk, thereby concentrating the protein components to higher levels.

They typically contain little to no lactose, which is good for individuals with lactose intolerance, but also an indication of extensive industrial processing.

Food Additives

SEEQ’s Fruit Punch Protein Powder contains a cocktail of food additives including emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavors, and sugar substitutes.

Even in small quantities, ingredients like these can cause painful side effects and even long-term health issues.

I myself drank 1 serving and can confirm that it causes bloating.

Regularly eating ultra-processed additives can also alter the composition and function of your gut microbiome (North Clin Istanb, 2019).

These shifts, known gut dysbiosis, have been shown to contribute to a wide range of chronic diseases (J Exp Med, 2019).

Gut dysbiosis is so problematic because it can cause a cascade of problems, including intestinal permeability, systemic inflammation, and impaired nutrient absorption.

In summary, I would not recommend that anyone regularly consume SEEQ protein powder based on the ingredients alone.

SEEQ Taste and Texture

Taste is so subjective that I hesitate to include it in my SEEQ protein review.

A protein powder that one person craves might make another person gag.

For the sake of the review, however, I will share my thoughts on how SEEQ protein tastes and mixes.

Fruit punch is a fun flavor of protein powder, and I never had another fruit punch-flavored protein powder, so this was exciting for me.

It tastes a lot like Koolaid or Jello, and mixes really easily.

The sweetness was too much for me, probably due to the sucralose, and mixing the powder with an electric mixer left a layer of foam.

Other than that, however, this was a good flavor with a pleasant texture.

I imagine that kids or teenagers would love it.

Summary

In short, SEEQ protein powder, which was popularized by its fun, novel flavors, is not a brand that I would recommend.

While it is great to see a company branching out and offering flavors other than chocolate and vanilla, I cannot stand behind a product that contains so many ultra-processed and artificial ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Who Is Drink Wholesome for?

Drink Wholesome makes protein powder for sensitive stomachs, GERD, IBS, and other gut issues. It’s suitable for most food sensitivities, including lactose intolerance, and won’t cause side effects like bloating, constipation, and reflux.

Why Is Drink Wholesome Good for Sensitive Stomachs?

Drink Wholesome is the best protein powder for sensitive stomachs because it’s additive, dairy, and gluten-free. It’s also made from minimally-processed protein sources like egg whites and almonds. Other protein powders are made from ultra-processed protein concentrates and isolates, which look nothing like real food.

What’s the Difference Between Protein Powder and Meal Replacement Powder?

Drink Wholesome makes gut-friendly Protein Powders and Meal Replacement Powders. Protein powder is high in protein and low in everything else, whereas meal replacement powder contains fats, carbs, fiber, and protein because it’s intended to replace the nutritional value of a balanced meal.

What’s the Difference Between Almond, Collagen, and Egg White Protein?

We make three types of stomach-friendly Protein Powder: Collagen Protein Powder, Egg White Protein Powder, and Vegan Almond Protein Powder. As long as you get protein from a variety of sources, any type of protein can help you meet your total daily protein needs. In other words, for someone with a balanced diet, there is no advantage to consuming one type of protein over another. Order Samples to see which type you like the most.
