I get asked a lot.. what makes your protein gut-friendly? And it’s more than you might think. Here’re the three main things that make Better Blends a truly gut-friendly protein powder 😄



When I created Better Blends, I thought carefully about what to include, and what to leave out.

For people with sensitive digestion, certain ingredients can make a daily protein shake uncomfortable. Lactose found in dairy-based powders can cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea when it isn’t properly digested, while gluten and soy can be concerns for people with specific sensitivities or medical conditions. Some people also find that certain added gums contribute to gas or bloating.

With those needs in mind, we made Better Blends gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, gum-free, sugar-free, and vegan. To create a smooth, creamy texture without added gums, we finely mill our plant proteins, making it easier to find a shake that fits both your nutritional needs and your personal tolerances.

I wanted our protein to do more than just be easy to digest and support muscle repair. Since you likely have a sensitive stomach like me, I wanted to include ingredients that could also help make our gut’s healthier and stronger.

🥔 Prebiotic potato fiber: Helps feed beneficial gut bacteria. These microbes play an important role in digestion and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.

🧬 L-glutamine: An amino acid used as fuel by cells lining the intestine. These cells absorb nutrients and help maintain the intestinal barrier, which controls what passes from your gut into your bloodstream.

🌳 Slippery elm bark: Contains mucilage, a substance that forms a gel when mixed with water. This property is why slippery elm has traditionally been used for digestive comfort, although clinical research on its benefits is limited.

Each ingredient has a different role, reflecting my goal of considering overall gut health alongside your daily protein needs.

What does “Certified Low FODMAP” actually mean?

FODMAPs are certain short-chain carbohydrates that can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine. They can draw water into the bowel and be fermented

Halloween protein cookies have officially crept into my kitchen. 👻🎃🍪

We’re kicking off spooky season with frightfully delicious chocolate chip protein cookies packed with creepy little eyeballs and enough spooky sprinkles to wake the dead. 💀

Save this Halloween cookie recipe for your next spooky night in, or send it to someone who needs to make these with you. 🕸️

✨ INGREDIENTS ✨
• 2 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 scoop Better Blends Vanilla Dream protein powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ⅓ cup Halloween sprinkles
• Candy eyes 👀

🕸️🎃 INSTRUCTIONS 🎃🕸️

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter and sugars until combined, then mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.

Add the dry ingredients and mix just until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips and half of the spooky sprinkles.

Scoop about 3 tbsp of dough per cookie and place about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft and puffy.

While they’re still warm, press in the candy eyes and finish with the remaining sprinkles. Let cool for 10–15 minutes.

Devour at your own risk. 💀🍪

One of my biggest frustrations with plant protein has always been the gritty/chalky taste.

So when I created Better Blends, I wanted to solve that problem without adding junk like gums, fats, or emulsifiers just to mask the texture.

Instead, we mill our plant proteins to an ultra-fine particle size for a smoother, creamier taste
