We’re finding that most people are missing out when it comes to clear vegan protein powders. They go down the old list of protein grams, calories, taste and price per serving. Yes, those are important but it’s only part of the story. What is overlooked is that clear protein isn't simply a lighter version of the old school traditional shakes. It's a different type of protein structure which yields benefits like we’ve never seen before.
Imagine What The Perfect Lean Protein Powder Would Look Like
Standard protein powders are rarely just protein. They carry carbohydrates, fibers, fats, gums and thickeners, all of which can add calories without adding protein.
A clear protein powder built on an ultra-pure isolate…… skips all of those things. That is because a serving lands right around 100 calories with 20g of complete protein and zero sugar. That's roughly 25% fewer calories than traditional vegan protein powders!
Why is this so important? Because if there were a nutritional formula for lean muscle, it would be protein/calories. Meaning………you need to get the most protein possible with the least amount of calories. That’s exactly what this shake does. In fact, it does it better than any other protein shake in history!
The Same Thing That Makes Clear Protein Easy to Digest Also Gives It Super Powers
Part of why clear proteins work differently in the body is because the proteins are already partially broken down in a process called hydrolysis. It’s the same process used in in premium baby formula powders that make it easier for a baby’s sensitive digestive tract to be able to digest those densely nutritious powders. This is why people report that plant based clear protein feels much easier to digest than traditional intact protein powders.
What those pre-broken protein fragments do independently is something less commonly talked about. In a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition also from 2012, Ndiaye et al examined protein from yellow pea plants that had been enzymatically hydrolyzed and found that the resulting peptides had measurable antioxidant activity when tested directly and in serological assays.
That same 2012 study also looked at inflammatory signaling. In activated immune cells, the pea peptides reduced nitric oxide production by up to 20% and lowered secretion of two inflammatory messengers, TNF-alpha and IL-6, by up to 35% and 80% respectively.
Just imagine what a game-changer it would be to have a protein powder could be helping to support your body against the oxidative and inflammatory effects of intense exercise and daily stress!

Similar Proteins Also Turned Up in Blood Pressure Research
In another independent study by the researchers with Li and colleagues, in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2011 found that a pea protein hydrolysate decreased systolic blood pressure (SBP) in spontaneously hypertensive rats. In a small follow-on group of adults taking 3g daily for three weeks, average systolic pressure fell by roughly 6 mmHg.
It's important to mention that these are cell and animal studies (and one tiny human pilot) using research-prepared pea protein hydrolysates, not a finished protein powder. It's a good direction, not a done deal. However, this kind of research is showing incredible potential benefits for serious health enthusiasts that go way beyond the boundaries of simple protein powder and move toward something we could only be described as complete functional nutrition.
Where PlantFusion Clear Plant Based Protein Powder Fits
So that’s the story. What used to only be about grams per serving is now opening doors into an entirely new realm of health benefits. PlantFusion Clear Protein is leading the way in this new generation of clear protein powders that offers unique benefits we’ve never seen before. You owe it to yourself to give it a try and so we created this cool little sample pack that has both of the flavors, Tropical Punch and Pineapple Coconut.
The hard part will be deciding which one you like most between the two!
