Efectiv Nutrition Clear Whey Isolate

This powder provides a good amount of protein, without the excessive calories which is perfect for people like me that want to increase muscle but not calories. The powder itself tastes ok, it does create a weird foam when mixed, but other than that no issues.

I was looking for a lighter protein powder and this one fits the bill. The orange mango flavor is surprisingly good,not too sweet or artificial. It mixes well with water and doesn't leave a chalky texture. At under 100 calories and 24g of protein per scoop, it's a solid choice for a post-workout drink. Happy with this purchase.

Good taste, like a juice drink. I prefer it better to classic ones. Not too sweet. Could be too sour for those with sensitive stomach.

The macros are good as one would expect, but I really can't get behind the flavour. Thought it'd be a nice change from the rather milky whey solutions I normally have.

The flavour I had (strawberry / water melon) has a very sharp, bitter sweet note to it and it's quite intense. I've not got a massive sweet tooth however don't mind juices, but this is a bit too artificial.

Price is a bit steep for the size and flavour quality.

My product came with pierced hole in the side, this may have happened during shipping but worth noting. The contents seemed okay so I decided it was safe to try.

This is a really drinkable, refreshing clear protein. I've been using the orange and mango flavour, which isn't over-sweet at all like some mixes - it has a really pleasant taste and aroma that isn't at all cloyish, and easy to drink post-workout. It mixes up easily in a standard shaker from a single scoop, which gives 24g protein at less than 100 calories per drink.

It's clearly a high-quality protein mix, so it does come in at a little more per scoop than some varieties, but taste-wise I think it's worth it - it goes down so much easier than many clear brands I've tried.

EFECTIV's Clear Whey Isolate tastes great and has a good nutritional profile, but comes with a hefty price tag.

As opposed to a regular milky whey drink, this mixes more like a juice or cordial. It mixed up perfectly in a normal protein shaker, and will go great as a post-workput, pre-bed, or even breakfast smoothie shake. There were no clumps or grit. Fantastic!

It tastes amazing too, with the strawberry and watermelon being a really nice change to the standard strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla flavours. It was more refreshing than standard whey flavours.

The price however, in very high. Almost £30 for only 600g is incredibly poor. I get that this might be more expensive to manufacture, but for that price I can get 2.5kg of normal whey, that has the same protein content.

Overall, a very nice product, especially if you are flush with cash.

If like me you like a protein shake after working out, then finding the right one can be a lot of trial and error. Strawberry and Watermelon would not be my usual flavour, but I was keen to try it out.

First impressions are pretty good, the pouch contains enough for 20 servings, comes with a scoop and is clump free. Each serving is one scoop, and this contains 24g of whey protein per 30g scoop.

Blending wise, I usually use my kitchen blender rather than a shaker, however I found this to produce a lot of persistent foam compared to my usual brand, which is not a good start.

Taste wise it has an initially quite appealing smell and taste, but quickly becomes quite sickly and pungent, it has a sharp artificial taste on account of the sweetener used. Once you've finished 500ml worth it leaves you with a distinct aftertaste, which I do not like.

Overall, for your money you aren't getting much value, 24g of protein is around average for protein powders, but given you only get 600g for £25 this is very poor value, and coupled with the artificial taste and foaming issue, it's a no from me. For reference, I can get 5KG of banana pea protein for £36 elsewhere. Personally, I'll be sticking with my cheaper pea protein brand.

Opening the pack, I was immediately surprised at how decent the powder smelled in the bag

A little sweetness, but lots of fruity punch with a real citrus hit

On mixing it up, if I'm honest it looks rather bad.. It's hard to trust a "squash" style drink that has a foamy head, but I persevered and went on to tasting

This was the most surprising part. It actually tastes ok.. I mean, lets be real, no one is drinking these just for the flavour, but I was impressed by just how much citrus flavour was in there rather than the cloying sweetness that I was expecting

There is a slight aftertaste of whey that you get with any drink like this, but I found breaking it in to two drinks helps to stop the aftertaste, and helps get some more hydration in to you

Half a scoop in a pint glass x2 - as a single serving

Clear whey is still very expensive (hence the star knocked off), but if you want something that isn't a sickly sweet classic shake style, you can't go wrong here.

A quick look around shows this is competitively priced to your usual UK retailers
