Drink Wholesome (New Hampshire, USA) makes low FODMAP protein powders for sensitive stomachs. In this article, their founders discuss their Monash-certified low FODMAP protein powders in detail and explain how to use them.
Which Drink Wholesome protein powders are currently Monash-certified?
Drink Wholesome makes two types of certified low FODMAP protein powder: Unflavored Collagen Protein Powder and Unflavored Egg White Protein Powder. Both contain one, simple ingredient with no additives or fillers whatsoever.
Why did you choose to certify your protein powders?
It is impossible to accurately determine the FODMAP content of a food without laboratory testing. Protein powders are no exception, even those with a short list of simple ingredients.
With packaged foods, the exact amount of each ingredient is not disclosed, which means if a high FODMAP ingredient is listed, the amount might be so small you can tolerate it, but there is no way of knowing.
This is why we chose to pursue certification with a reputable organization like Monash University. We wanted to assure our customers following a low FODMAP diet that our products are indeed suitable for the diet.
How do I use Drink Wholesome’s low FODMAP protein powders?
You can use our low FODMAP certified protein powders as you would any other protein powder. You just need to be careful what you mix them with.
You cannot go wrong mixing our protein powder with water, lactose free milk, or a low FODMAP plant-based milk alternative, but our unflavored protein powders are meant to be added to smoothies and other recipes.
Because they are unflavored, our low FODMAP protein powders are versatile and easy to work with. You can add them to baked goods, for example, without changing the taste and texture of the recipe.
Our Low FODMAP Egg White Protein powder is the perfect addition to smoothies, oatmeal, and simple recipes like no-bake protein bites. Our low FODMAP Collagen Protein Powder, on the other hand, is ideal for adding to soups, sauces, and baked goods.
