Clear whey is a particularly heavily filtered form of whey protein in which fat and most of the lactose are largely removed. The result is a powder that can be mixed with water into a clear shake reminiscent of a fruit drink, rather than a milky consistency.
In practice, clear whey is usually fruit-flavoured and mixed with water only, since milk would change the clear appearance. The texture is thinner than that of a classic whey shake, which some people find more pleasant, for example on hot days or as an alternative to a creamy shake.
The basis of clear whey is usually a heavily filtered whey isolate, and the entry Whey protein gives a general overview of whey.
