How the numbers stack up against the price
It is also the only product of theirs where the added micronutrients are dosed at 100% of the reference intake rather than 15%, though there are only four of them. The added acetyl-L-carnitine and green tea extract are what earn it the "diet" name and neither has strong evidence for fat loss at the doses used here, so buy it for the macros rather than the actives. At £1.37 per 25g of protein on Protein Works’ own 1kg bag it is not cheap, and it comes only in 500g and 1kg, so there is no big-bag discount to reach for. It is also the one product in the range where Amazon undercuts Protein Works, at £1.18 against £1.37, so it is worth checking the retailer table below before you buy.

Cheapest in-stock listing at a partner retailer, for packs of 400g and over. MyProtein Clear Whey Protein, Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - GOLD Innovation, Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - PLATINUM Innovation, Protein Works Vegan Pea Protein - BLACK Innovation, Protein Works 100% Micellar Casein - BLACK Innovation, Protein Works Diet Whey Protein Isolate - BLACK Innovation, Protein Works Clear Diet Whey Protein - GOLD Innovation have no partner listing in stock, so they carry no figure.
A clear-format whey isolate, so it mixes to a juice rather than a milkshake. One protein source, and the rest of the list is what makes it a "diet" product: acetyl-L-carnitine, green tea extract, and a four-item vitamin and mineral blend of B5, B6, chromium picolinate and B12. Citric acid and anti-foaming agents do the clear-drink work. No soy protein and no lecithin at all.
What the label gets right, and wrong
Strengths
- 0.1g of fat and 0.3g of sugar per 100g, the leanest macro line in the range
- 82g of protein per 100g from whey isolate alone
- Four micronutrients dosed at 100% of the reference intake, against 15% on the 360 range
- 0.10g of salt per 100g
Watch-outs
- £1.37 per 25g of protein at Protein Works, rising to £1.46 on the 500g bag
- Only two pack sizes, so no bulk saving
- The acetyl-L-carnitine and green tea extract are not well evidenced for fat loss at these doses
- A clear format is a texture preference, not a nutritional advantage
What a scoop actually contains
Taken from the manufacturer’s published label. Source.
Panel as published for the Blue Raspberry flavour. Other flavours on the page run 80g to 83g protein per 100g with carbohydrate between 0.7g and 1.9g, so the macro line is tight across the range. The four micronutrients are listed at 100% of the reference intake per 25g serving, not the 15% the 360 range uses.

Third-party testing
Certification is per programme and often per flavour or per batch, so a badge on one product does not carry across a brand’s whole range.
No batch-testing claim is published for this product and we found none elsewhere.
Made by
Protein Works, produced at their own UK facility
What the maker does not publish
- Protein Works does not state the dose of acetyl-L-carnitine or green tea extract per serving.
- We found no product-level buyer reviews we could attribute and link.
Questions buyers ask
The things people search for about Protein Works Clear Diet Whey Protein - GOLD Innovation, answered from the label and the live partner prices rather than from the brand’s own copy.
What is clear whey protein?
Whey protein isolate formulated to dissolve into a translucent juice-style drink rather than a milkshake. Nutritionally it is isolate; the difference is texture and the acids and anti-foaming agents that make it behave that way.
Does Clear Diet Whey actually help with dieting?
The macros do: 86 kcal and 20g of protein in a serving, with almost no fat or sugar. The acetyl-L-carnitine and green tea extract that give it the name are not well evidenced for fat loss at the doses used in protein powders, and the doses are not published.
How much protein is in Protein Works Clear Diet Whey?
82g per 100g, or 20g in a 25g serving, on the Blue Raspberry panel. Other flavours run 80g to 83g.
