what is clear protein, and how is it different from traditional protein powders?

clear whey protein isolate is a type of whey protein that undergoes a unique filtration process, resulting in a clear and refreshing drink that's gut-friendly and light on the stomach. unlike traditional protein powders, gramms is clear, juicy and refreshing, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a lighter alternative to thick, creamy protein shakes.

 

what makes gramms a superior protein powder?

the benefits of protein supplementation are truly endless; we’ve summarized a few things we love about gramms below:

• high protein content: each serving provides 20g of high-quality protein to support muscle growth, repair, and recovery.

• low calorie: with only 80 calories per serving, gramms is a guilt-free way to boost your protein intake without adding excess calories to your diet -- if you track protein/calorie efficiency, gramms scores an unbeatable 100% (meaning each and every calorie comes from protein).

• blood sugar-friendly: gramms is sweetened with a dash of stevia extract and contains zero grams of sugar, making it a perfect choice for those looking to reduce their sugar intake and balance their blood sugar.

• refreshing taste: made without any artificial flavors, our clear protein flavors use natural flavor and colors sourced from pure fruit and vegetable powder.

• gut-friendly: we are lactose-free and have a strict no-sucralose policy since research suggests that artificial sweeteners like sucralose may trigger an inflammatory response in the gut, which can contribute to digestive discomfort and long-term gut health issues.

• convenient: gramms can be easily prepared by shaking with water—no blender required! enjoy it on the go or as a post-workout refresher.

 

where does gramms source its whey protein isolate?

we take pride in sourcing our whey exclusively from european dairy farms known for their high-quality milk. our whey protein isolate is non-gmo and lactose-free, ensuring the highest level of purity and quality in every sip. our whey goes through a triple filtration process that eliminates the carb and fat content, and then filters it one step further than most isolates to take the lactose content down to less than .1%. 

if you’re extra curious about our whey sourcing and why we choose eu farms, here’s some extra information from our supplier: 

‘when it comes to the safety and quality of whey protein, sourcing matters. european union (eu) dairy farms adhere to stringent regulations outlined in council directive 96/23 ec and regulation (ec) no. 470/2009, ensuring the responsible use of growth hormones, medical residues, and antibiotics. unlike u.s. dairy farms, which may employ practices like the use of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbst) or bovine growth hormone (rbgh) to boost milk production—methods banned in the eu—eu regulations mandate the establishment of maximum residue limits (mrls) for veterinary medicines in bovine milk….we guarantee compliance with these rigorous standards and conduct random checks to ensure our products meet the highest safety standards set by regulatory authorities.’

 

what’s the best way to prepare gramms?

 
for best results, pur 12- 16 oz of water in a shaker bottle (like the gramms shaker). add a scoop/packet of gramms protein and shake (don't stir!) until fully dissolved. you might need to do a couple shake/let stand, shake/let stand reps to really break up the powder. let the foam settle and pour over ice for an extra refreshing experience, and enjoy anytime of day, multiple times per day if desired.

note: if you don't want to work too hard, shake a serving of gramms as described above and let it sit in your fridge for 15 mins or more. gramms goes completely clear the longer it sits, so can be made ahead!

 

is gramms suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

yes, gramms is suitable for vegetarians; however, it is not suitable for vegans, as it contains dairy-derived ingredients.

 

can i mix gramms with other drinks?

while we love a simple glass of gramms – mixed with water – you can certainly experiment by mixing it with other refreshing drinks like coconut water or sparkling water for added flavor and hydration. personally, we like to add a splash of iced tea and make ours into a ‘protein palmer’…get more ideas for recipes @drinkgramms ig and tiktok channels.

 

is gramms gluten-free?

yes, gramms is gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities.

 

is gramms really lactose-free?

absolutely! our whey undergoes extensive (triple) filtration processes to remove lactose, making it suitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant or have trouble digesting dairy products. most clear whey isolates contain trace amounts of lactose that can amount to 3%. since our founders are lactose-intolerant we care about the extra filtration to ensure that your gut enjoys a gentle and tolerable product! you can enjoy the benefits of high-quality protein without worrying about digestive discomfort. 

 

do you offer any other flavors? 

stay tuned, they’re coming!

 

are your products tested for quality and purity?

yes. we prioritize product quality and transparency, which is why we conduct rigorous testing at various stages of production to ensure our products meet the highest standards for purity, potency, and safety.  our whey protein isolate undergoes third-party testing by independent laboratories to verify its quality and authenticity, and each batch of gramms undergoes another round of lab testing to check heavy metal content, active ingredient content and monitor for microbiological contaminants.
