Available flavors for this innovation include Twisted Citrus and Green Apple. The recipes exclude added sugar, artificial flavors, or artificial colors. USANA's product consolidates [three separate supplement categories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newbeing), including protein for muscle repair, creatine for strength and performance, and electrolytes for hydration. The Clear Protein + Creatine Mix formulation provides research-backed dosages — five grams of creatine being the amount most extensively studied for performance benefits. The use of clear whey protein isolate rather than traditional milky shakes offers a lighter, more thirst-quenching alternative that is easier to drink during or after workouts.
