Our take
CleanPlate reviewWhey 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).

- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 388 kcal
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal.
Mixed processing and additives
- Base
- Whey
- Sweeteners
- Sucralose

Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 124 mg
- Saturated fat
- 3.6 g
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

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
