The Garden of Life Clear Whey Protein is hitting store shelves to coincide with the warm weather season to help consumers hit their protein goals in a decidedly delicious, refreshing way.
The product takes rich, creamy whey protein beverages in a decidedly lighter, more refreshing direction with a clear composition that works far better for hitting protein intake goals in hot weather. The product will deliver 20-grams of protein per serving and comes in Lemon Frost, Mango Mist and Unflavored flavors, which are each made with no artificial colors or sweeteners. The product is debuting alongside a partnership with TV personality, filmmaker and producer Dylan Efron.
Efron commented on the new Garden of Life Clear Whey Protein saying, "I've always cared about what goes into my body and where it comes from, especially with how much I’m traveling, training and spending time outdoors. For me, it’s about finding high-quality products that fit naturally into my routine. That’s why this partnership felt so fitting—there’s real intentionality behind the brand, from how they source ingredients to how they bring new products like Clear Whey Protein to life."
