Bloated after your protein shake?

It’s not you.
It’s FODMAPs.

Most protein powders are packed with FODMAPs. These are carbs your small intestine struggles to absorb, and that’s a problem.

Why FODMAPs can upset your gut

  1. They pull water into your bowel

    Your small intestine can’t absorb them well, so they stay put and draw extra water into your bowel.

  2. Gut bacteria ferment them into gas

    When they reach your large intestine, gut bacteria feed on them and give off gas as they go.

  3. A sensitive gut feels it more

    That extra water and gas stretch your gut. A sensitive gut, like one with IBS, can feel it as bloating and discomfort.

Our story

Made by people who get it.

John Redmond, Founder of Better Blends, knows firsthand how challenging it can be to find a protein powder that doesn’t upset your stomach. After more than a decade of navigating digestive issues and facing a cancer diagnosis, John partnered with his dietitian to create a protein powder designed with sensitive digestion in mind.

The result? Better Blends: The Original Gut-Friendly Protein® — created for people who want to fuel their bodies, increase their protein intake, and feel their best, without the digestive drama.

Questions we get.

Is Better Blends safe on a low FODMAP diet?

Yes. Better Blends is Monash University Low FODMAP Certified™. Monash has assessed this product for FODMAPs, and one serve (1 scoop) can assist with following the low FODMAP diet, including the elimination phase.

I have IBS. Will this upset my stomach?

It's made without the whey, inulin, sugar alcohols and gums that commonly cause bloating, and the formula is lab-tested by Monash University to stay low FODMAP at a full scoop. Every gut is different, so if you're unsure, start with a smaller serving and check in with your dietitian.

How much protein is in a scoop?

Both Vanilla Dream and Chocolate Swirl have 20 g of protein per scoop, from pea and organic brown rice protein. Both have 0 g sugar and 20 servings per bag.

How do I use it? How does it taste?

Add 1 scoop to 10 oz of water, milk or a smoothie and blend or shake. It mixes up smooth and creamy, never chalky or gritty, with a lightly sweet flavor that isn’t overpowering. It also works in oatmeal and baking. For ideas, see our recipes on the blog or search @getbetterblends.

I have Crohn's or colitis. Is this right for me?
