Our take
CleanPlate reviewPea and rice protein, 66 g protein, high iron
Yoga Bar ProClean Plant Protein (Chocolate) is a 500 g pouch with a pea and rice protein isolate blend (73.6%), cocoa (14%), coconut milk powder, monk fruit and a gum thickener. One 38 g scoop gives about 25 g of protein. The panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it AC4. The A for nutrition reflects 66.5 g protein, 5.6 g fibre and natural iron and zinc per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by protein isolate blend, cocoa powder and coconut milk powder), with additives that cost points: gum arabic, xanthan gum and monk fruit extract. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (690 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (4 g per 100 g).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- On the packHolds
“25g PROTEIN PER SERVE”
66.5 g per 100 g in a 38 g scoop is 25.3 g of protein.
- On the packBe careful
“Nothing Artificial”
The list says "natural flavor and flavoring substances", without saying which kinds, so it cannot be confirmed from the label.
- On the packHolds
“No artificial sweeteners”
The sweetener is monk fruit powder; no sucralose, aspartame or similar is listed.
- On the packPartly true
“Herbs Power Blend”
Ginger, fennel, cumin and fenugreek are listed, but together they are 0.04% of the product, about 15 mg a scoop.

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Pea and rice protein isolate blend (73.6%), cocoa (14%), coconut milk powder, monk fruit powder, flavouring, Himalayan pink salt, xanthan and acacia gum, and a herb blend (0.04%).
Per 100 g: 403 kcal, 10 g fat of which 4 g saturated, 4.9 g sugar of which 0 g added, 5.6 g fibre, 66.5 g protein, 690 mg sodium. The printed total salt (0.48 g) is lower than the printed sodium (690 mg) implies, about 1.7 g. The sodium is kept, because pea protein isolate alone carries about 1,000 mg per 100 g (the unflavoured pack prints 1,080 mg).
Ingredients to watch
- SodiumWorth watching
690 mg per 100 g, about 262 mg a scoop, is the largest part of the risk grade.
- Saturated fatWorth watching
4.0 g per 100 g, mostly from coconut milk powder and cocoa.
- Isolated proteinWorth watching
A pea and rice isolate blend is an industrial extract, which is why the ingredients grade is a C.
- SweetenerFine
Sweetened with monk fruit and no sucralose or sugar is added.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Plant protein means low sodium"
Pea protein isolate is often high in sodium; here it is 690 mg per 100 g.
Myth: "A herb blend aids digestion"
The herbs are 0.04% of the product, so any effect cannot be judged from the label.
