What is Clear Whey?
Clear Whey protein is a whey isolate that has been hydrolysed resulting in a fine powder that is water soluble and low in lactose. As a result, a clear-looking shake can be created.
Clear Whey protein is growing rapidly in popularity. It is an excellent way to consume protein or simply for a delicious and nutritious drink. Clear whey is a light, juice-like protein drink as opposed to its dairy-focused alternative. So if you are not a fan of thick, milky drinks then clear whey could be the perfect alternative for you. When you think of a protein shake, the flavours that typically come to mind are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and maybe caramel. To then imagine a sour apple or mixed berries protein drink is completely contrasting.
Clear whey protein has opened the door for a whole new capacity of flavours for protein shakes and protein powders. The time to develop your clear whey protein portfolio is now to stay ahead of the trend and be the first to explore new flavour opportunities.
