Plant protein
20g protein per scoopIn a 161-person trial, pea protein beat placebo and matched whey in strengthening muscles.
Our story
Made by people who get it.
Better Blends started with one founder whose gut never agreed with protein powder, and a decision to make one that would.
John, Founder & CEOI built the protein my gut needed.
For decades, protein powders have focused on muscle growth and recovery. They overlooked millions of people with sensitive digestion who could also use an easy, convenient way to meet their daily protein needs.
Living with ulcerative colitis, I experienced this firsthand. I relied on protein powders to help meet my nutritional needs, but most left me bloated, uncomfortable and feeling worse. So I created what I couldn’t find.
Better Blends became the world’s first Monash University Low FODMAP Certified protein powder: 20 g of complete plant-based protein, with gut-focused ingredients like prebiotic fiber, L-glutamine and slippery elm bark.
Today, we’re leading innovation in a category that has historically left people like me behind, so anyone with a sensitive stomach can get their protein without the bloat.
We need protein we can trust with our gut.

The ingredients
What’s in the scoop, and why.
We did our research. Here’s why we chose the ingredients we did, the studies behind them, and what you can expect from our protein powders.
Babault et al., JISSN 2015 · double-blind RCT · 25 g twice daily
Potato fiber
2g Vanilla · 4g ChocolateMost powders get fiber from inulin or chicory root, which are high in fructans. We use potato fiber instead: gut-friendly and easy to digest.
Stevia leaf
0g sugarFree from: erythritol / xylitol
Polyols, high FODMAP

Not a sugar alcohol · zero sugar
Not a sugar alcohol · zero sugar
Most “sugar-free” powders swap sugar for sugar alcohols, exactly what a low FODMAP diet removes.
The badge on every bag
What “Monash certified” means.
Monash University in Australia created the low FODMAP diet. Their lab tests products and certifies the ones that stay low FODMAP at a normal serving. One scoop of Better Blends passed, so you can use it during the elimination phase.
One serving of this product is low in FODMAPs and can assist with following the Monash University Low FODMAP Diet™. A strict low FODMAP diet should only be commenced under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
