Savory protein powder

Are there savory protein powders? 

Protein plays an important role in muscle repair, immune function, and overall health. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the average individual should consume at least 0.35 grams of it per pound of body weight per day. 

Most people can meet their protein needs by eating high protein foods like eggs, fish, legumes, meat, and nuts, but some people, especially those with dietary restrictions, need a little help. This is where protein powder comes in handy.

Adding a scoop of protein powder to your diet is an easy way to ensure that you are meeting your daily protein needs.

If you do not have a sweet tooth, however, finding a protein powder you like can be challenging as protein supplements tend come in flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

There are, however, a few options for those who prefer a savory protein boost. Keep reading to learn more.

What are the best savory protein powders? 

Companies like Bariatric Fusion and Unjury, which target people undergoing bariatric surgery, make savory protein powders in flavors like chicken soup and beef & herb.

I mention Bariatric Fusion and Unjury because they are two largest manufacturers of savory protein supplements, and because their products are full of junk. In other words, both of these companies use ingredients that you should think about putting into your body.

Here are the ingredients in Bariatric Fusions’s Chicken Soup Protein Powder:

Whey protein isolate, soluble corn fiber, coconut creamer, maltodextrin, natural flavor, xanthan gum, Vitamin & Mineral Blend (magnesium oxide, ascorbic acid, dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate, retinyl palmitate, D-calcium pantothenate, niacinamide, electrolytic iron, zinc oxide, copper gluconate, dicalcium phosphate, cholecalciferol, manganese sulfate, pyridoxine HCl, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, chromium chloride, cyanocobalamin, folic acid, biotin, potassium iodide, sodium molybdate, sodium selenite), salt and silica

Here are the ingredients in Unjury’s Beef & Herb Protein Powder:

Whey Protein Isolate, Natural Beef Flavors (Natural Flavor, Corn Maltodextrin, Yeast Extract, Salt, Dextrose, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Silicon Dioxide {Anti-Caking Agent}, Onion Powder, Sunflower Oil), Natural Flavor (Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Salt, Yeast Extract, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Turmeric, Modified Corn Starch, Spice, Natural Flavor), Salt, Natural Flavors, Soy Lecithin

I do not know about you, but these ingredient lists look more like science experiments than food.

They are full of heavily-processed additives, many of which are known to cause painful side effects and long term gut health issues (more about this later).

If you care about your health, and I assume you do, you would not go near products like these. Instead, you would reach for something made with a short list of simple ingredients.

Unlike Bariatric Fusion and Unjury, we make savory protein supplements with whole foods like collagen, egg whites, and almonds.

Because they are unflavored, our savory protein powders can be added to savory recipes like soups and sauces. Here is one of my favorite savory protein powder recipes:

As you can see, unflavored savory protein powders are super versatile and can be added to a wide variety of dishes.

In fact, they can be added to almost any savory recipe for an easy protein boost.

Plus, because the protein powder is unflavored, you get to add your own spices and seasonings, and adjust them until they suit your preferences.

We make the best savory protein powder because we use a short list of simple ingredients free from food additives.

Whole food protein sources also have unique digestive benefits: collagen can reduce bloating and improve digestive symptoms, egg whites can help restore your mucosal intestinal barrier, and almonds can improve the composition of your gut microbiome.

It follows that our customers experience fewer digestive issues with our savory protein powder than with any other type of protein supplement. Order samples to see for yourself.
