It isn’t often that we see a dairy-free protein powder producer that offers separate paleo and vegan lines. Let alone one that uses pure, simple ingredients without “flavors” or additives of any kind. But Drink Wholesome Protein Powder isn’t an ordinary company. They launched with healthy egg white protein powders (see this post if you confuse eggs with dairy), and later ventured into new territory with plant-based chickpea protein powder. Yes, chickpeas! Brilliant, don’t you think?
Drink Wholesome Keeps it Clean with Paleo AND Plant-Based Protein Powders
According to the company, both of their powders are whole food, and they do not use protein concentrates. They even use real vanilla beans for the vanilla flavors. And they’re all handmade in the U.S.A.! Please note that the “regular” dairy-free line is listed first, followed by the vegan line below.
