Our take
CleanPlate reviewPea and rice protein with real coffee, 66 g protein
Yoga Bar ProClean Plant Protein (Coffee) is a 500 g pouch with a pea and rice protein isolate blend, coconut milk powder, coffee powder (10%), 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 AC3. The A for nutrition reflects 66.5 g protein, 6.2 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, coconut milk powder and coffee powder), with additives that cost points: gum arabic, xanthan gum and monk fruit extract. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (698 mg per 100 g) and calories (399 kcal per 100 g).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

“No artificial sweeteners”
The sweetener is monk fruit; no sucralose, aspartame or similar is listed.
- On the packBe careful
“Nothing Artificial”
The list says "natural flavor and flavouring substances", without saying which kinds, so it cannot be confirmed from the label.

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Pea and rice protein isolate blend, coconut milk powder, coffee powder (10%), monk fruit, flavouring, Himalayan pink salt, xanthan and acacia gum, and a herb blend (0.04%).
Per 100 g: 399 kcal, 8.4 g fat of which 2.2 g saturated, 5.1 g sugar of which 0 g added, 6.2 g fibre, 66.5 g protein, 698 mg sodium. The share of the protein blend is not printed; it is assumed at 73%, as on the chocolate pack that has the same 66.5 g protein. The printed total salt (0.76 g) is lower than the printed sodium (698 mg) implies; the sodium is kept as the higher value. The Kindlife page text for this product is wrong and was ignored.
Ingredients to watch
- SodiumWorth watching
698 mg per 100 g, about 265 mg a scoop, is the largest part of the risk grade.
- Isolated proteinWorth watching
A pea and rice isolate blend is an industrial extract, which is why the ingredients grade is a C.
- ThickenerWorth watching
Xanthan and acacia gum cost 4 points in the additives score.
- SweetenerFine
Sweetened with monk fruit; no sucralose or sugar is added.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Coffee flavour means a caffeine kick"
Coffee powder is 10% of the powder, but the pack prints no caffeine figure.
Myth: "Plant protein means low sodium"
Pea protein isolate is often high in sodium; here it is 698 mg per 100 g.
