Protein lemonade: the benefits of Clear Whey as a refreshing protein drink

In the kitchen cabinets of almost every athlete, you’ll likely find a bag or tub of protein powder. Protein supplements are hugely popular, and you probably also use a protein shake regularly to support your recovery. However, not everyone enjoys the taste of whey protein shakes. These creamy shakes can feel heavy on the stomach. Protein Lemonade is a refreshing revolution in sports nutrition: a high dose of protein wrapped in a fresh lemonade flavour. In this article, we’ll tell you everything about protein lemonade and compare it to regular protein shakes!

What is protein lemonade?

Protein lemonade is a relatively new supplement in the Netherlands, so we’re happy to explain what it is. You might also recognise protein lemonade by names like Clear Whey Isolate or Protein Water. It combines all the benefits of a regular protein shake with the refreshing taste and texture of lemonade.

You’ll notice protein lemonade by its clear texture. It looks as though you’re just drinking lemonade, but with over 20 grams of protein per serving. Protein Lemonade is mixed with water instead of milk, and you can enjoy it at any time of day. You can choose from various flavours such as apple, Ice Tea Peach, and apple.

Why drink protein lemonade?

Protein lemonade offers several benefits that go beyond just its high protein content. Of course, this is the primary benefit and the reason why you use protein supplements; with protein lemonade, you easily get extra protein. Your body uses the amino acids from protein to build and repair muscle tissue. With an active lifestyle, you have a higher protein requirement, and protein lemonade allows you to meet this need in a tasty, easy, and refreshing way.

Another great advantage of protein lemonade, like Clear Whey Isolate, is that it is easy to digest. The drink is light on the stomach, and the isolate proteins are easily absorbed by the body. Since protein lemonade contains almost no fats or sugars, it is a low-calorie drink. This makes it a perfect fit for your diet plan, even when you're aiming for healthy weight loss.

Finally, many athletes love the texture and taste of protein lemonades. It's a refreshing protein drink that dissolves perfectly in water. You can enjoy protein lemonade at any time of day and use it as a thirst-quencher in the summer.

Benefits of protein lemonade:

• High protein content
• Refreshing flavours
• Light on the stomach
• Isolate proteins are easily absorbed
• Low in calories
• No clumps

Protein lemonade versus whey protein shakes

Do you always use whey protein powder and are considering switching to protein lemonade, like Clear Whey? While they serve the same purpose (an easy way to get protein), there are some differences between them.

The main difference lies in the taste and texture of the protein drink. A protein shake is usually thicker and creamier, especially when you mix the powder with milk. This can feel heavy on the stomach, which is not the case with protein lemonade. The texture of protein lemonade is clear and thin, making it lighter on the stomach. Clear Whey is an excellent choice as a thirst-quencher. Whey protein, with its thicker texture, provides a longer feeling of fullness, which can help prevent snacking between meals.

In terms of flavour, protein lemonade offers light and fruity options, whereas whey protein shakes typically come in flavours like chocolate, cookies & cream, and vanilla.

When it comes to convenience, protein lemonade scores a bit higher. This has to do with the solubility of the powder. The filtered protein powder dissolves easily in water, without clumping. With whey protein powder, you might experience lumps in your shaker, as the powder doesn’t mix as well.

Looking at the nutritional values, protein lemonade contains fewer calories. The protein content of both protein powder and protein lemonade is similar, but protein lemonade has less fat and sugar. As a result, you consume around 85 to 100 kcal per serving.

Both protein lemonade and whey protein fit perfectly into a healthy diet. When should you choose which one? If you prefer refreshing flavours and are looking for a protein-rich thirst-quencher, Clear Whey is the ideal choice. If you’re more of a fan of creamy milkshake flavours and want your shake to keep you fuller for longer, then whey protein shakes are the better option.

How to use protein lemonade?

Using protein lemonade is simple and similar to how you would prepare your usual protein shake:

1. Mix a scoop of protein lemonade powder in your shaker with water (usually 300-500 ml).
2. Shake well until the powder dissolves in the water and wait about 1 minute for the natural foam to disappear after mixing.
3. Enjoy your refreshing protein drink right after your workout or at any other desired time.
