May 5th-9th Meal Guide
This week’s meal guide features one of my favorite new finds—Drink Wholesome Protein Powder. As someone with a sensitive stomach, finding a protein powder that doesn’t upset my gut has been a major challenge. I can’t tolerate milk-based powders like whey or casein, and most plant-based options either left me bloated or lacked the full spectrum of essential amino acids we all need.
Drink Wholesome offers several gut-friendly options, but my personal go-to is their egg white–based protein powder. Egg whites provide all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete, high-quality protein source. It’s the only powder I’ve found that actually tastes good and makes my body feel great.
In this week’s guide, you’ll see how I used it to make protein pancakes, but the possibilities are endless! Check out Drink Wholesome and grab a bag—you won’t regret it!
