Executive Dysfunction, and Trying to Eat Better – My Experience with WholeSupp (and a Cheaper Alternative) I struggled with the decision to buy. I research everything — partly because I don’t always trust marketing, and partly because I tend to overthink (hello, ADHD). What helped was emailing WholeSupp with questions. Their replies felt genuine, not salesy, and that gave me a good feeling. This seems like a company that actually cares. After a recent ADHD diagnosis, I’ve realised how often I forget to eat or drink — until I crash and sugar cravings kick in hard. Desperate for something simple, I tried WholeSupp. I ordered two of the half-price bags of the Caramel Sea Salt flavour. My usual diet includes things like natural yoghurt or kefir — when I manage to plan. I don’t do smoothies, fizzy drinks, or sweet coffees, so initially, the flavour felt very sweet and salty. But I got used to it. Now, I’d say it tastes nice, once your taste buds adapt (which they do — surprisingly quickly). I kept a container with two scoops of WholeSupp in my car. When I was running out the door to work, I’d grab it. During the day, if I remembered, I’d add water. Even managing to drink it 3 out of 5 days felt like progress. And on days I forgot to mix it, I’d pass a water fountain on the way out and fill the container before my drive home. Better late than nothing. It’s not a cure for executive dysfunction, but it’s a band-aid — and hopefully the start of a habit. Honestly, the hardest part is the mental checklist: Remember to put the scoops in the container Bring it with me Take it into work Add water Shake Actually drink it (Anyone with EF struggles will understand how much that list really takes.) Since then, I’ve also bought a cheaper vegan shake from the supermarket — €12.99 for a much smaller bag, maybe a third the size of WholeSupp. I'm vegetarian, so I liked that it used pea protein isolate. But it was hard to compare nutrition without doing a deep Excel dive on ingredients and claims. Both products use artificial sweeteners — which, I’ve learned, are tricky to get right. And while I have a sweet tooth, I honestly wonder why these products are all flavoured like desserts. WholeSupp has a distinct taste, but once you adjust, it’s enjoyable. The supermarket version? The texture and taste are so different — and not in a good way. Right now, I can’t bring myself to go back to it. One last note: I refuse to collect containers just for show. I’m still using an old plastic bottle — not ideal, and I used to add the powder before the water (big mistake). Definitely add the liquid first!
