Protein soda is emerging as the next generation of “easy protein” – but in the UK, not all cans are created equal. VitClear’s Active Health Soda takes the core idea of protein soda and layers in meaningful extras for performance, recovery and focus, making it especially useful for people who want more than just protein in a can.

What is protein soda?

Protein soda is a lightly sparkling drink that delivers meaningful protein in a soft-drink style format, designed to be easier to drink and digest than heavy shakes. In the UK, most protein sodas and protein waters sit around 10 g of protein per can, with low sugar and calories, aimed at post-workout recovery or convenient top-ups through the day.

The UK protein soda landscape

Right now, UK shoppers mainly see three viable options when looking for a fizzy, refreshing protein drink rather than a shake. Feisty Protein Soda offers 10g of plant-based protein per serving with real juice and no added sugar, placing taste and simplicity front and centre. Applied Nutrition’s Sparkling Protein Water delivers 10g of hydrolysed collagen protein with zero sugar, vitamin C and coconut water powder, focusing on hydration and joint/skin-related benefits.

How VitClear’s Active Health Nootropic Soda is different

VitClear Active Health Nootropic Soda starts with 10g of protein per 330ml can, but combines it with a full performance and recovery stack. Each can includes 3,000 mg BCAAs, 3,000 mg creatine, 2,000 mg L‑carnitine and 1,000 mg taurine, alongside 21 vitamins and minerals to support energy, muscle function and immune health. It is low sugar, vegan, non‑GMO, free from additives and uses natural flavours, colours and sweeteners, built as a genuinely “all‑in‑one” functional soda rather than just flavoured protein water.

Functional nootropics and gentle energy

Where many performance drinks lean on high caffeine, VitClear uses green tea extract paired with 150 mg L‑theanine and ashwagandha for a smoother lift. Caffeine from green tea in this formula is naturally minimal or negligible, designed to support focus and calm alertness without the jitters or heavy sleep disruption that come with traditional energy drinks.

When VitClear's Protein Soda really shines

VitClear’s Active Health Nootropic Soda is particularly useful for:

  • Late-night gym-goers who want creatine, BCAAs and a small lift in focus without a big caffeine dose that affects sleep.

  • Sugar‑conscious consumers looking for a low‑sugar, functional drink that supports energy metabolism, electrolyte balance and normal muscle function.

  • People struggling to hit daily protein targets who want a convenient 10g top‑up that also contributes to reduced tiredness and fatigue through B‑vitamins and vitamin C. Milk-based powders may have the opposite effect and make you feel sluggish or heavy.

  • Busy professionals and students who like the idea of nootropic support (L‑theanine, ashwagandha, B‑vitamins) in a drink that replaces a complicated supplement stack.

Comparing VitClear, Feisty Soda and Applied Nutrition

All three brands bring something useful to the UK “protein soda” category, and they serve slightly different needs.

Brand / product Protein source & amount (per can) Key functional focus Standout positives Best suited to…
Feisty Protein Soda ~10 g plant protein, all EAAs  Light, tasty, plant-based protein boost Real juice, plant-based, no added/artificial sugar  Taste-driven users wanting an easy, vegan protein soda

Why you should care about your Protein Soda 

If you're looking for a protein soda, you are usually looking for a few key benefits: better taste than shakes, easier digestion, convenience, and macros that fit your goals. VitClear meets those expectations with a lightly sparkling, fruit‑forward soda, then goes further by building in evidence‑backed amounts of creatine, BCAAs and essential micronutrients that support normal energy‑yielding metabolism and muscle function.

For anyone who is tired of managing separate tubs of creatine, BCAAs, electrolytes, vitamins and nootropics, VitClear’s Active Health Nootropic Soda turns that entire routine into a single, great‑tasting can that fits seamlessly into a busy, performance‑driven lifestyle.
