Clear protein offers a refreshing alternative to traditional protein shakes. Light, fruity and easy to drink, these protein supplements dissolve into a juice-like consistency that's perfect when you want something different from the usual creamy shake.

From whey isolate to plant-based options, clear protein delivers the same high-quality protein your muscles need, just in a format that's lighter and more refreshing. Available in a range of fruity flavours, it's designed for anyone who finds standard protein shakes too heavy or filling.

Who Clear Protein Is For

Clear protein works for anyone who struggles with thick, creamy protein shakes, especially during warmer weather or after intense training sessions. The lighter texture makes it easier to consume when you're already feeling full or overheated from exercise.

It's particularly popular with endurance athletes, those training in hot conditions, and anyone who prefers fruity flavours over traditional chocolate or vanilla options. The juice-like consistency also appeals to people who want their protein supplement to feel less like a meal replacement and more like a refreshing drink.

When to Use Clear Protein

Most people reach for clear protein straight after training when they want something light and refreshing. The quick-mixing formula means you can shake it up in seconds and drink it without the heaviness that sometimes comes with traditional protein shakes.

It's equally effective as a protein top-up between meals or as a lighter alternative to food-based protein when you're on the go. Some athletes prefer it during longer training sessions or events where a standard shake would feel too rich.

Clear Protein Benefits

High Protein Content

Clear protein delivers around 20g of protein per serving, making it comparable to traditional protein powders. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹, which is why it's a staple supplement for anyone training regularly or looking to increase their protein intake.

Light and Refreshing

Unlike thick, creamy shakes, clear protein mixes into a juice-like drink that's easy to consume even when you're not particularly hungry. The fruity flavours and lighter texture make it a more appealing option during summer months or after cardio-heavy sessions.

Quick and Convenient

Clear protein mixes instantly with water, leaving no clumps or residue. Just shake and drink. It's perfect for gym bags, travel, or anywhere you need a quick protein fix without the fuss of traditional protein preparation.

Low in Fat and Carbs

Most clear protein formulas are naturally low in both fat and carbohydrates, making them suitable for anyone watching their overall calorie intake whilst still prioritising protein consumption. This lean profile fits well into various dietary approaches without adding unnecessary extras.

FAQs

What is clear protein?

Clear protein is a protein supplement that mixes into a light, juice-like drink rather than a thick, creamy shake. It uses hydrolysed whey protein isolate or plant-based proteins that have been processed to create a transparent liquid when mixed with water, offering the same protein content as traditional powders but with a completely different texture and taste profile.

How does clear protein differ from regular protein powder?

The main difference is in texture and flavour. Regular protein powder creates a creamy, milk-like shake, whilst clear protein produces a light, fruity drink similar to squash or sports drinks. Both deliver comparable protein content, but clear protein is typically lower in fat and carbohydrates due to its more refined processing.

Clear protein also uses fruity flavours rather than the traditional chocolate, vanilla or strawberry options found in standard protein powders. The lighter consistency makes it easier to drink in hot weather or after intense cardio sessions.

When should I drink clear protein?

Most people drink clear protein immediately after training as a refreshing way to meet their protein needs. It's particularly effective after cardio or HIIT sessions when a heavy shake might feel uncomfortable. You can also use it as a protein boost between meals or any time you want a light, fruity alternative to food-based protein sources.

How do I mix clear protein?

Add one scoop to 300-400ml of cold water in a shaker bottle and shake for a few seconds. Clear protein dissolves instantly without clumping, unlike some traditional protein powders. For best results, use cold water and don't overfill your shaker, as clear protein can foam slightly when shaken vigorously.

Does clear whey protein contain lactose?

Clear whey isolate contains minimal lactose due to the filtration process used to create whey protein isolate. During processing, most lactose and fat are removed, leaving primarily protein. This makes it more suitable for those with mild lactose sensitivity compared to whey concentrate, though it's not completely lactose-free.

Can I use clear protein for baking or cooking?

Clear protein isn't ideal for baking or cooking as it's designed to dissolve in liquid and doesn't have the binding properties of regular protein powder. It works best when mixed with water and consumed as a drink. For protein-enriched baking, traditional whey protein concentrate or casein would be more suitable.

What's the difference between clear whey isolate and clear vegan protein?

Clear whey isolate is derived from milk and typically provides around 20g of protein per serving, whilst clear vegan protein uses pea protein isolate and delivers approximately 15g of protein per serving. Both mix into a light, fruity drink, but the whey version has a slightly higher protein content and different amino acid profile.

The vegan option suits those following plant-based diets or avoiding dairy, whilst the whey version is often preferred for its complete amino acid profile and faster absorption rate.

Who developed these clear protein products?

Myprotein's expert nutritionists developed the clear protein range to offer an alternative to traditional protein shakes. They recognised that many people struggle with the thickness of standard protein drinks, particularly during warmer months or after intense exercise, and created a lighter, more refreshing option that still delivers high-quality protein.

How should I store clear protein powder?

Store clear protein in a cool, dry place with the pouch sealed properly after each use. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain freshness and prevent clumping. Once opened, use within the timeframe indicated on the packaging for best quality and flavour.

Is clear protein suitable for weight management?

Clear protein is typically low in fat and carbohydrates, making it a lean protein source that fits into various dietary approaches. Each serving provides around 20g of protein with minimal additional calories. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass¹, which is important whether you're trying to maintain, lose or gain weight.
