Complete Clear Whey Matrix: All 10 Products Compared (2026)
Every clear whey in our catalog, side by side. 10 products. Clear whey uses hydrolyzed whey isolate prepared so that it mixes into a juice-like, fruit-flavored drink instead of a milkshake. It is the fastest-growing protein sub-category in 2026, especially with lifters who hate creamy textures or want a refreshing post-workout option in summer.
How to Read This Matrix
Twelve columns, one row per product. The columns are: rank by Value Score, brand (links to the brand page), product name (links to the full live-price page), flavor, tub size in pounds, grams of protein per serving, total servings in the tub, calories per serving, cheapest in-stock price across our 12 tracked US retailers, the retailer at that price, the Value Score (0-100, higher is better), and short notes calling out the most relevant detail like grass-fed, hydrolyzed, or organic.
Why clear whey moves at a premium
The hydrolyzed isolate inside clear whey costs more to manufacture than standard concentrate. Combined with smaller batch sizes and aggressive flavoring R&D, expect to pay roughly 30-50% more per gram of protein than blend. The matrix lets you compare every clear whey on the market on the same row.

Top 5 Winners by Different Metrics
The single Value Score column is the right place to start, but it is not the only way to slice this matrix. Here are five different angles on the same product set:
How We Built This Matrix
Every row above is generated directly from our live product catalog. When the scraper checks each retailer (every two hours throughout the day), the cheapest in-stock price wins the right-hand column. Value Score is recalculated whenever a price changes. We do not score products that are out of stock at every retailer.
To learn more about how the Value Score combines price per gram with retailer reliability, label-claim accuracy, and third-party testing, read how it works and our editorial standards. The methodology is the same across every matrix on this site.
FAQ
How many clear whey products does this matrix cover?
This matrix covers 10 clear whey products from 6 different brands. It is a complete view of every product in this category that we currently track. New products are added as our scrapers find them and old products are removed when they go permanently out of stock.
How often is this matrix updated?
Prices are refreshed automatically every two hours across all 12 retailers we track. Value Score, ranking order, and the cheapest-retailer column update whenever a tracked price changes. You can see live scraper health at /scraper-status/.
Why is the cheapest product not always the highest Value Score?
Value Score combines price per gram of protein with retailer reliability, label-claim accuracy from third-party testing, and customer-reported flavor and mixability. A very cheap tub from a brand with a recall history or thin label disclosure can lose to a slightly more expensive tub from a brand that tests every batch. Read the full methodology at /how-it-works/.
Can I sort the matrix by a different column?
Not yet on this page. We rank by Value Score because that single number rolls in the most decision-relevant factors. If you want to sort by raw price, protein per dollar, or pack size, the /best-value/ live rankings page lets you filter and sort across every category.
How does clear whey differ from regular whey?
Clear whey uses hydrolyzed whey isolate that does not foam or cloud when mixed with water. The result is a fruit-flavored, juice-like drink instead of a milkshake. Protein content per scoop is usually 15-25g, slightly lower than standard isolate.
Where can I see live retailer prices for any product in this matrix?
Every product name in the matrix links to its full live-price page. On that page you will see all 12 retailers we track, their current in-stock prices, a price history sparkline, and a Value Score breakdown. You can also browse the full clear whey category at /clear-whey/.
