Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop Clear Whey Isolate protein powder (flavor of choice like Lemonade, Peach, or Wild Berry)
- 16–20 ounces cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves, lemon slices, or a few drops of liquid water enhancer
Instructions
- Measure the Water: Pour 16 to 20 ounces of very cold water into a large shaker bottle. Using cold water is essential because it helps the powder dissolve more effectively and results in a much more refreshing final taste.
- Add the Protein Powder: Add exactly one scoop of your favorite clear whey isolate protein powder to the water. Do not use standard whey concentrate or casein for this recipe, as they will result in a milky texture rather than a clear juice texture.
- Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid on your shaker bottle tightly and shake for about 30 to 45 seconds. You will notice a lot of foam forming at the top of the bottle; this is completely normal for clear whey protein and is part of the process.
- Let the Foam Settle: This is the most important part of the TikTok hack. Set the bottle down and let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes. During this time, the foam will dissipate, and the cloudy liquid will transform into a crystal-clear, colorful protein water.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the liquid is clear, add your ice cubes and any optional garnishes like fresh fruit or mint. Pour it into a fancy glass if you want the full viral aesthetic, and enjoy your high-protein refreshment!
- Cook Time: 2 minutes
