Clear Protein Water from [Clean Simple Eats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-soda) has announced two new flavors for its signature [clear protein refreshment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clear-protein-refreshers) range that will offer consumers a way to elevate their protein intake in a thirst-quenching way.

The product is debuting the Peach Mango Creme and Blackberry Vanilla flavors as [Target](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein2o-lemon-lime) exclusives, which both boast high-quality flavors that are great for serving over ice. The drinks are each crafted with 20-grams of ultra-filtered whey protein isolate in each serving that's low in lactose to make it easier to digest. The drinks are also free from artificial ingredients and added sugars, and come in four-packs of 16-ounce cans and individually priced at $16.99 and $3.99, respectively.

The latest Clear Protein Water drinks will also make their way to the brand's website starting in October.
