ClearPea Vegan Clear Protein by German Elite Nutrition

Fed up with thick, creamy shakes? Vegan clear protein is a fresher way to get your protein. ClearPea by German Elite Nutrition is a clear, fruity protein drink that you mix with water, more like lemonade than a milkshake. Convenient after a workout or just on a warm day, and with 454 grams per bag, it will last you a while.

What clear protein exactly is

Clear protein is a category of protein powder that dissolves into a clear drink instead of a milky shake. With the well-known clear whey, this is achieved with whey isolate, but ClearPea uses pea protein. This makes this variant completely plant-based. You taste a light, juicy flavor without the heavy texture that many people know from classic shakes. Many athletes wonder how a clear protein differs from a regular protein shake. In short, the difference lies in the texture and mouthfeel. A regular shake is creamy and filling, while a clear protein is light and easy to drink. That makes it attractive if you prefer a light, fresh drink over a creamy shake. In terms of protein, this powder simply does its job, you just drink it more lightly.

Pea protein hydrolysate as a source

The base is pea protein hydrolysate: pea protein that has been broken down into smaller chains (hydrolyzed), making it dissolve better and eliminating the typical grainy aftertaste of many plant-based powders. That solubility is exactly what a clear protein needs, because without that step you get a cloudy drink instead of a clear one. The brand supplements the pea protein with the amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine, the so-called branched-chain amino acids, so that you get a more complete amino acid profile than pea protein alone provides. Per 100 grams of powder, there are 77.5 grams of protein. A serving of about 30 grams thus provides around 23 grams of protein, with hardly any fat and no added sugars. Proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass. Proteins also contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. This way you supplement your daily protein intake without adding many calories.

Round off your workout and throughout the day

This vegan clear protein is a good fit after an intensive workout, when you prefer to drink something fresh rather than a full shake. But it also works great in between: a refreshing protein drink at the office or on the go, instead of a snack. Mix one scoop (about 30 grams) with 300 to 400 ml of cold water in a shaker, shake vigorously and wait a second or fifteen until the natural foam has settled. Then you have a clear, thirst-quenching drink. Use cold water, because that helps with dissolving and makes the drink fresher. There are six flavors, from orange and cherry to cola and peach iced tea, so you can alternate and not quickly get tired of one flavor. Those who use the powder as a regular supplement often appreciate that variety. A tip: use a shaker with a ball or sieve and add the water first and then the powder, so it clumps less. If you want it extra cold, add a few ice cubes. Unlike a creamy shake, a clear protein can also be easily diluted into a larger amount of drink, convenient if you prefer to sip on your protein drink longer during sports.

For those who are interested

ClearPea is intended for anyone who wants extra protein without a heavy shake. The powder is gluten-free, lactose-free and without added sugars, and fits a plant-based diet. If you are a fanatical athlete, it is a light way to get your protein after training. If you pay attention to your calories, the low fat and sugar content will be to your advantage. And if you are simply looking for a tasty, fresh way to get more protein, then a protein lemonade is a pleasant solution. In short, ClearPea is a plant-based alternative to clear whey: clear, fruity and light in texture, with 454 grams per bag and six flavors to choose from.

A fresh way, therefore, to supplement your daily protein, especially if you find a regular shake too heavy. Light, plant-based and with enough flavors to keep alternating.
