In theory protein supplements might seem like a good idea to use while on a Candida diet.
They could be a great way of increasing your protein and caloric intake while not feeding the Candida yeast cells living in your body.
However, most protein supplements on the market are full of sugar, starch, artificial flavors, and the sugar free varieties are loaded with artificial sweeteners. I’ve searched and found some that are all natural and have no sugar nor artificial sweeteners, but it was like finding a needle in a hay stack.
It amazes me how everything has to taste sweet before people will buy it. The same is true with protein supplements. They come in a wide variety of flavors that make them seem more like a dessert than something that is supposed to lead to better health.
Anyway, I think using a high quality all natural protein supplement as part of a Candida diet is a good idea for those that need to boost their protein intake as well as their caloric intake. The protein powder can be added to green smoothies, oatmeal, soups, curries, and so much more especially if there aren’t any crazy flavors involved. No one wants to eat a vegetable soup with a splash of berry banana anyway!
If your interested in using protein supplements as part of a Candida diet just read the labels carefully and make sure they are sugar free or very low in sugar as well as free from artificial ingredients and sweeteners.
Here’s two possibilities online that I have researched. The first is just plain and the second is sweetened with stevia if you just have to have your protein sweet and flavored.
