Nutrition Nugget: Clear Protein Soda

Nutrition Nugget: Clear Protein Soda

Author: Jenn Trepeck July 10, 2026 Duration: 8:12

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Clear Protein Soda. Are you looking for a bubbly, refreshing way to hit your daily protein targets, or is the wellness industry just trying to pack protein into things that do not need it? When a friend asked Jenn about the latest trend of clear protein sparkling waters, she had to dive deep into the nutrition label to see if these drinks are truly “clearly” superior or just another clever marketing gimmick. On the one hand, you get 20 grams of high-quality whey isolate with zero sugar, making it an easy option for a quick snack. On the other hand, could the intense alternative sweeteners be sabotaging your taste buds and keeping you hooked on sweet flavors? Is this carbonated shortcut a brilliant addition to your health routine, or are you better off chewing your protein and sticking to plain club soda? Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget? Submit it here: https://asaladwithasideoffries.com/index.php/contact/
