Common questions
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.
I have Crohn’s or colitis. Is this right for me?
Talk with your GI care team about whether low FODMAP fits your plan, and share our ingredient list with your dietitian. Our dietitian advisors can also help: book a discovery call with Oswald Digestive Clinic.
Where can I find Better Blends?

Is it available in Canada?

The product
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 make it?
Add 1 scoop to 10 oz of water, milk or a smoothie and blend or shake. It mixes smooth with no thickening gums, and it also works in oatmeal and baking. For ideas, see our recipes.
How often should I have Better Blends?
We recommend one shake a day.
Is plant protein as effective as whey?
In a 161-person trial, pea protein matched whey for muscle thickness gains when paired with resistance training (Babault et al., JISSN 2015).
What’s the difference between prebiotics and probiotics?
Probiotics are live, friendly bacteria. Prebiotics are the fiber those bacteria feed on: they travel down to your large intestine, where the good bacteria break them down.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes. All our products are gluten-free. They aren’t officially certified, but they meet the FDA’s gluten-free standard.
Is it dairy-free?
Yes. No cows were involved in the making of our protein powders.
What about allergens?
None of our ingredients come from the top 9 allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish and sesame. Our protein powders are made in a facility that also processes them.
Can I use it if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
