Whey proteins have been a staple supplement for fitness enthusiasts and athletes over the years, but have you heard of clear whey? While both are derived from milk, standard whey protein and clear whey protein both offer distinct textures, flavours and uses. Let's take a look at the differences:

Standard Whey Protein

Traditional whey protein is known for its creamy, milkshake-like consistency when mixed with water or milk. A standard whey protein is ideal for post-workout recovery, muscle building and meeting your daily protein requirements for your specific goals.

With a thicker, creamier texture, a standard whey protein is perfect for smoothies and high protein recipes.

Clear Whey Protein

Clear whey, on the other hands, is a less common protein powder. Although brands have offered clear whey over the years, it's generally seen as a newer innovation, with flavour profiles and anti-foaming abilities improving in recent years.

Clear whey is processed differently to a standard whey protein to create a light, refreshing, and translucent drink - more like a fruit juice than a shake. Typically lower in calories and carbs, clear whey is the perfect option if you're looking for a lighter, thirst-quenching protein source.

Which Should You Choose?

If you're after a creamy, versatile protein source, a standard whey protein if your go-to. but if you prefer a light, refreshing option, clear whey is a game-changer.

Both deliver high-quality protein source - choose the option that suits you best!
