🩺 On Today’s Exam Table: PlantFusion Clear Plant Protein – Tropical Punch
Sometimes a vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry protein shake just doesn’t sound appealing. On warmer days—or when my stomach wants something lighter—I look for clear, refreshing protein options that still help me meet my nutritional needs.
After a little internet research, PlantFusion Clear Plant Protein landed on my list. I purchased it through Amazon for convenience, shipping speed, and price comparison.

MyPlate Teaching 🥗
Protein powders can help supplement nutrition, but they should not replace whole foods. Our bodies still need:
Fruits & vegetables (vitamins, minerals, fiber)
Whole grains (energy)
Healthy fats
That’s why I often combine this protein with fruit to increase overall nutritional value.
🍽️ E = Eating (Taste, Texture & How I Use It)
Prepared as Directed
The instructions recommend mixing 2 scoops with 14–16 oz of water, shaking well, and letting it sit for 30 seconds.
I used my trusty Ninja single-serve blender with 14 oz of water.
Initial appearance: slightly foamy on top
After sitting a few minutes: foam settled and the color shifted to a light yellow (closer to the package image)
Taste & Texture
Lighter than milk-based protein shakes
Not as thin as lemonade
Light sweetness (pleasant, not overpowering)
Flavor profile: citrusy, with hints of lemon and pineapple
👉 Rhythm Rating: 💗 Sinus Rhythm — solid and enjoyable
Smoothie Experiment 🧪
I also tested this protein in my daily fruit smoothie.
What I used:
Frozen organic four-berry blend (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries)
~14 oz water
2 scoops PlantFusion Clear Protein
The result:
Thicker than my usual fruit-only smoothie
Smooth, no chunks
Drinkable through a reusable straw
The citrus flavor still came through but paired nicely with the berries
👉 Rhythm Rating: 💗 Sinus Rhythm
I loved the added protein without needing dairy or heavy textures.
🛍️ A = Accessibility

Is it expensive? Yes.
Did I still want to try it? Also yes.
One important note: the bag arrived sealed but very beat up. The zipper closure inside was partially broken, which made resealing difficult. While the product itself was fine and within expiration, packaging integrity matters — especially for supplements.

Everyone’s body is different. What works for me may not work for everyone. Always check labels carefully and work with your healthcare team to find what helps you live safe, happy, and healthy.
