Our take

CleanPlate review

Whey with 71 g protein, sucralose and an enzyme blend

Yoga Bar ProClean Whey Protein (Chocolate) is a 907 g pouch with whey (89.1%: concentrate, whey powder and isolate), cocoa (9%), flavourings, sucralose and an enzyme and probiotic blend. One 35 g scoop gives 25 g of protein. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it [L]CC2. The C for nutrition is middling: 71.4 g protein per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by whey protein concentrate, whey powder and whey protein isolate), with additives that cost points: sucralose and flavouring. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "No added preservatives, additives or foaming agents" does not hold: the front says "No added ... additives", but sucralose (INS 955), nature-identical flavouring, natural flavours and the enzyme blend (papain, bromelain, protease) are listed. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 124 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 3.6 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “25g PROTEIN PER SERVE”

    Holds

    71.4 g per 100 g in a 35 g scoop is 25 g of protein.

  • On the pack

    “No added preservatives, additives or foaming agents”

    Misleading

    Sucralose (INS 955), nature-identical and natural flavouring and an enzyme blend (papain, bromelain, protease) are all listed.

  • On the pack

    “Contains non caloric sweetener”

    Holds

    Sucralose is listed, and the pack says so.

  • On the pack

    “Patented & Clinically Tested”

    Be careful

    The pack quotes a patent and trial registrations for the enzyme blend; the studies cannot be checked from the label.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Whey (89.1%) made of whey protein concentrate, whey powder and whey protein isolate, cocoa (9%), flavourings, Himalayan pink salt, sucralose (under 0.2%) and the ProAbsorb enzyme and probiotic blend.

Per 100 g: 388 kcal, 6 g fat of which 3.6 g saturated, 8.1 g sugar of which 0 g added, 71.4 g protein, 124 mg sodium. The image on the retailer page is about 1,000 px, and the panel was re-read at 3x enlargement: energy 388 kcal (136 per 35 g, matching the macros), whey 89.1%, cocoa 9%. The name "Performance Blend" used by the retailer is not printed on the pack. The split of the whey part between concentrate, powder and isolate is not printed and is assumed from the protein balance.

Ingredients to watch

  • Additives claimConcern

    The front says no additives, yet sucralose, flavourings and an enzyme blend are in the list.

  • SucraloseWorth watching

    A non-sugar sweetener (INS 955), which costs 4 points in the additives score.

  • Concentrated wheyWorth watching

    Whey concentrate and isolate are industrial fractions, which is why the ingredients grade is a C.

  • SodiumFine

    124 mg per 100 g, about 43 mg a scoop.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "No additives means nothing added"

The list has a sweetener, flavourings and enzymes, which are additives.

Myth: "Clinically tested means proven for you"

The pack cites trials of the enzyme blend; the label cannot show how well they apply to this powder.

Smarter ways to eat it

One scoop

A 35 g scoop is about 136 kcal with 25 g of protein and 43 mg of sodium.
