Sports nutrition brand, Myprotein have launched the very first clear plant-based protein shake in the US.
With the popularity of a plant-based diet rising, over 1.6 million of the US population are now vegan, there is a growing need for alternative protein sources, which makes this product perfect.
The 10g plant-powered protein is available in two flavors coconut & mango and pear & ginger, priced at $29,99. The powder is naturally sweetened with stevia and monk fruit extracts.
Typically, plant-based products have been known to have a gritty texture, but Myprotein’s clear plant-based protein is a light and refreshing alternative to the usual milky taste. Not only does it have zero fat and sugar it also has essential vitamin’s needed for a plant-based diet such as B12.
Gareth Gray Head of Product Development at Myprotein states, “There is an increasing demand for plant-based protein sources and particularly clear options which can be seen as more refreshing compared to traditional milk proteins.
The clear vegan isolate is low in calories, a high source of protein and a great refreshing flavor to fuel any workout. Ready to drink consumables is something we will be continuing to develop over the next 12 months”.
To celebrate the world’s clear vegan protein, Myprotein decided they would treat you to a super-simple (but completely delicious) recipe to make the most of the new product. Perfect to cool you down post-workout, or as an evening treat, check out these clear protein popsicles.
