Protein is an essential macronutrient that helps the body to build muscle and repair tissues so it’s important to consume enough of it, particularly if you lead an active lifestyle. Protein powders are a popular, convenient and more importantly tasty way to easily increase your daily protein intake. Not only does it ensure that your body has everything it needs to function properly, when paired with strength training using protein powder may also aid weight loss and help with muscle toning.
Traditional protein powders have a creamy, milkshake-like texture and tend to work well with rich and chocolate-y flavours. However, as temperatures rise and workouts heat up, we are reaching for a lighter, more refreshing alternative. So we thought – is there another whey? Here it is, the perfect quencher after a hot and sweaty workout… introducing Clear Whey Isolate. Our newest protein powder and most exciting innovation yet.
What is Clear Whey?
Clear Whey Isolate is a game changer for anyone that doesn’t like the creamy texture of a classic protein shake or who wants to mix it up and try an undeniably juicy and refreshing protein drink. Clear Whey protein is a whey isolate rather than a whey concentrate, and the whey isolate has also been hydrolysed. This means that the powder itself is much finer than a regular protein powder, resulting in a clear looking shake. With this new found texture, we’ve opened up a whole new world of fruity and juicy flavours that are perfect to quench the thirst after a hot and sweaty workout. Get your tastebuds ready for Passionfruit, Apple & Blackcurrant and Cherry Bomb. All absolutely perfect for those warmer weather workouts when you need a refreshing pick-me-up. Not only is it delicious, it’s as protein packed as they come.
We use whey isolate rather than whey concentrate, meaning that gram for gram you get the same amount of protein with fewer calories. This is extremely useful for anyone trying to maximise protein intake whilst being mindful of calories, used as a diet whey protein, with just 0.1g sugars, 0.2g fat and less than 90 calories per shake.
What’s more, it’s a great way to stay hydrated throughout the day with the use of a little extra water than you’d typically use in a classic milky protein shake.

How is it different to other whey proteins?
We’ve mentioned the difference in texture and flavour of Clear Whey Isolate compared to more traditional whey protein powders, however what makes our Clear Whey different to others? Taste. We really believe we’ve created one of the best tasting and refreshing protein drinks on the market. The flavours are all different from one another but all equally delicious. Whether you go for the fruity summer cocktail vibes of Passionfruit, the undisputed and seriously popular flavour combination of Apple & Blackcurrant, or the taste sensation party in your mouth you’ll be guaranteed to experience from Cherry Bomb you’re in for a treat.
When should you take it?
Protein shakes can be consumed anytime throughout the day, however pre-workout or post-workout are the most popular times to consume protein supplements. You can find out more about the significance of the time of day and when you should consume protein by reading our article Protein Shake – Before or After a Workout?. For best results we suggest mixing 1 scoop (approx 25g) with 350ml water in a shaker bottle and waiting for 30 seconds or so for the natural foaming to settle before consuming. If you find the flavour too strong or weak you can adjust the amount of water until you find the right amount to suit your individual tastes. We suggest 1-3 servings daily depending on your protein intake requirements. You could even try it poured over or blended with ice for the ultimate thirst quench.
Who is clear whey for?
This shake is for anyone who is looking to increase their daily protein intake with a light and refreshing drink – think fruity squash with the added benefit of 20g protein. You’ll love this new variation of protein if you’re someone who dislikes the classic creamy texture of a protein shake. Perfect if you’re looking for a diet whey protein or just want a fruity and refreshing alternative to a regular protein shake to get you through those summer months. We even suggest it for who anyone that loves to try great tasting drinks, because that’s exactly what we’ve created.
