4.5 out of 5 starsI'll admit, I was pretty skeptical when I first heard about "clear" protein. After years of drinking thick, milky protein shakes that left a pretty chalky aftertaste, the idea of something that looks more like Kool-Aid felt a little gimmicky to me. But enough people kept raving about it that I finally caved and ordered a couple of flavors to try.The good stuff:The texture is honestly the biggest selling point for me. If you've ever felt that mid-summer dread of choking down a thick chocolate shake when it's 90 degrees outside, you'll understand why this is appealing. It mixes up light and almost juice-like, which makes it way easier to actually finish on hot days or right after a sweaty workout when the last thing I want is something creamy.I tried both the lemon raspberry and the watermelon, and both were genuinely excellent. They remind me of drinking a melted Jolly Rancher, which sounds weird in writing, but it's that same bright, slightly tart, candy-like flavor without being syrupy or fake-tasting. The lemon raspberry has a nice tang to it that keeps it from being overly sweet, and the watermelon is exactly what you'd hope for, crisp and refreshing without that artificial "watermelon Jolly Rancher gone wrong" taste. Honestly, I keep going back and forth on which one is my favorite.Mixing is pretty effortless. A few shakes in my bottle and it dissolves cleanly without that gritty residue that some powders leave behind. No clumps floating around either, which was a pleasant surprise.At 15g of protein per scoop with no added sugar, it fits well into my routine as an afternoon pick-me-up or a post-workout option when I don't want something heavy.Where it falls short:Let's be real about the protein content. 15g per scoop is noticeably less than traditional whey, which usually clocks in around 24-25g. If you're trying to hit serious protein goals for muscle building, you'd need to double scoop.The price per serving is higher than most standard whey proteins, and you're getting less protein per dollar, but I have found it on sale so keep your eyes out.Bottom line:Bloom Clear Protein earned a permanent spot in my pantry as a lighter alternative for hot days, afternoon cravings, or when I just don't want another creamy shake. If you go in understanding that it's a different kind of product (more of a hydrating protein refresher than a meal replacement), you'll probably love it.If you're on the fence, grab the lemon raspberry or watermelon. You won't be disappointed.

I am extremely picky about protein drinks and snacks. I hate the gritty texture of most protein things. This however is amazing! I saw it on a social media platform and decided to purchase on Amazon because it is cheaper and free shipping. It has the consistency of water. It tastes just like a water flavoring packet. I got the strawberry watermelon flavor. I am on a glp1 and this kept me hydrated and satiated between breakfast and dinner. I have a hard time eating lunch because I'm never hungry at that time but I know I need nutrients. Especially protein. This is a total game changer. The only thing I don't like is the price for the amount given. It's a small bag. But tastes great.I use my mixing cup with a ball in room temp water from a bottle of water. I mix it up and it dissolves. It has a natural foam that sits at the top. The package says to wait 30 seconds for it to go down but after a few minutes its still there. No idea why. But I pour it over ice in my Built cup and sip on it between 12 and 3. Just enjoying the taste.

taste so good!! it does foam a lot but very easy to drink!

I was skeptical on this product but was pleasantly surprised! It is delicious and has great source of protein! The serving size is just the right amount for breakfast! The only thing I don't like about it is that it is hard to mix. I have tried to shake it in a shaker, tried in a blender, and also used a small electric hand mixer but it is always clumpy. The taste outweighs the very small clumps.

I am only giving this a one star and here’s why. The product is amazing yes, clear protein taste is perfect. But for the price only 10 servings is not worth it. Not to mention the way the company packs this product. The least you could’ve done Bloom is make the bag opening big enough so we can get our final tenth serving out. I’m not one to ever write reviews but this needed to be noted. I love Bloom, but this is too expensive and the packaging needs to be revamped. I’ll be looking into a more reasonable clear protein. Disappointed because I love it, but nearly 30$ for only only 10 is nonsense. I’ll continue to drink their energy drinks, those are delicious as well.

I like the taste better when I use a half scoop of powder instead of full scoop. Its only half the protein, of course, but if i drink 2 glasses I get the full protein amount and am drinking more water, which i really need to do anyway. Pleasant flavor.It says it dissolves easily and foam dissipates in 30-60 seconds. This is false so I took a point off. I have to shake the bottle a LOT to dissolve the lumps, which causes a lot of foam. The foam takes easily 5 minutes to dissipate. Pretty expensive for the amount you get ($29 for 10 servings) so took another point off for that.

I love bloom clear protein. Watermellon is my favorite flavor. It tastes great and is easy to drink. I order this monthly.

Delicious and refreshing. Follow the instructions. It looks weird at first but let it sit for moment just like the instructions say to do and let everything settle. It taste just like a Starbucks refresher but better. I wish it came in a bigger bag. Pour over lots of ice and enjoy!
