Evoclear Hydro - Discover HSN's 'protein juice'
Evoclear Hydro by SportSeries is one of HSN's most unique proteins, developed from a hydrolysed whey protein isolate, with sweetener. Evoclear guarantees you a high-quality protein with all essential amino acids and a texture and flavour incomparable to other proteins.
'Clear' protein is nutritionally equivalent to any other hydrolysed and isolated whey protein. The 'clarification' process involves adjusting conditions, such as the pH of the medium, to ensure that the protein does not produce a milky result in the shake. That’s why 'clear' proteins are often called 'protein juices'.
Evoclear Hydro is a hydrolysed whey protein isolate, but in its clear version.
Why choose a clear protein over other options?
When it comes to proteins, it's undeniable that HSN's range, a brand specialised in sports supplements and healthy eating, is enormous, and sometimes this can lead to confusion, with the most common question being:
'Which protein should I choose from all the available options?'
Choosing a clear protein is ideal if you’re looking for a light option, easy to digest, and mixes well with water without creating a heavy texture. Unlike traditional proteins (such as classic whey), clear proteins are processed to be less dense and more transparent, making them perfect for those who prefer more refreshing, less creamy drinks, like a fruit smoothie or juice. This is especially appealing if you’re not a fan of the thicker texture of traditional protein shakes or if you need something easier to consume after an intense workout when a heavier shake or sweeter flavours might not be as appetising.
Nutritionally, there are no clear advantages or disadvantages compared to other high-quality proteins, like those you can find in the 'Sports Nutrition > Proteins' section. Especially when compared to whey protein, known for its high nutritional quality, complete amino acid profile, good digestibility, and low fat and sugar content.
Evoclear Hydro is the same type of protein as Evohydro 2.0, but in a 'clear' version.
The role of protein in the diet – What’s it for?
Proteins, or powdered food preparations based on high-protein foods, are among the most widely used products by both athletes and those simply aiming to maintain a healthy, rich, and varied diet. But why?
This is because in traditional diets, although proteins are present in many foods, many people still don’t consume enough of this nutrient. This is especially true for athletes or those with increased nutritional needs.
Proteins as a nutrient help maintain and increase muscle mass, which is their most well-known benefit. However, their effects aren’t limited to muscles – they also have highly sought-after benefits for everyone, including non-athletes, such as helping to maintain normal bone mass.
That’s why proteins are so widely used, by both athletes and anyone looking to easily and effectively increase their protein intake. Some of the groups who benefit most include:
- Young people, usually athletes, seeking to increase muscle mass as part of their gym training routine.
- Teenagers, especially girls with low appetite, aiming to boost their protein intake with low satiety.
- Older adults, aiming to maintain muscle mass and prevent sarcopenia associated with ageing.
- Post-menopausal women, looking for support in maintaining normal bone health.
Do I need protein? Evoclear Hydro is an option
Of course, if you’re looking to increase your protein intake, there are plenty of options in HSN’s range, but don’t miss out on trying Evoclear Hydro.
Evoclear Hydro is a hydrolysed whey protein isolate, making it one of the best protein sources you can choose to enrich your diet.
Thanks to its clarification process, the shake is very easy and light to consume, making it ideal for those who quickly tire of typical protein flavours.
Shake results: What to expect
Traditional whey protein shakes, once mixed, achieve an excellent result – a light 'milkshake' style. The more isolated the protein, the less dense the shake; and when hydrolysed, it’s even lighter.
Evoclear is an isolated and hydrolysed protein, so the shake is already very smooth by default. However, being 'clear' takes it a step further, eliminating all the usual turbidity, resulting in a drink similar to a juice or a soft drink.
It’s the ideal summer protein, as it pairs exceptionally well with ice or cold water. It’s also great for those seeking a very light and smooth shake, perfect for post-workout when heavier protein shakes might not be as appealing.
Why aren’t there flavours like Chocolate in Evoclear Hydro?
Evoclear Hydro has a juice-like texture. If you’re used to traditional whey protein, it might feel a bit confusing, but the result is exactly as it sounds – a juice or soft drink. So... can you imagine a vanilla soft drink? It might not be the most appealing.
Evoclear Hydro, due to its use and the result of combining its texture and flavour, works better with fruity or refreshing aromas (such as cola or energy drink).
Of course, HSN is always open to innovation. Testing new flavours for all our products is a regular practice. Evoclear Hydro has immense potential, and if we achieve a different flavour – perhaps sweeter or unusual but still delicious – we’ll undoubtedly introduce it as a new addition to our range.
Don’t miss its unflavoured version. Adjust it to your taste!
If you’re adventurous, you can try it yourself – maybe you’ll enjoy Evoclear with chocolate flavour, why not?
For that, we offer the protein in its Raw unflavoured version – Clear Whey.
Which you can combine with a powdered flavouring, like flavouring powders for dairy proteins, including all the traditional whey flavours.
Attention: Our recommendation, given the clear protein’s result, is not to use flavourings for dairy proteins. Instead, opt for flavourings for amino acids and sports drinks, designed for isotonic or amino acid drinks – perfect for products without turbidity, like Evoclear Hydro.
In this way, you can experiment with different flavours and intensities by adding more or less flavouring to achieve the perfect balance for your drinks. Perhaps after a workout, you prefer a mild-flavoured Clear shake, but if you’re taking it to the beach with ice to enjoy and stay healthy, you might want a more intense flavour and add extra flavouring.
ISO + Hydro + Clear. What does it all mean?
We’ve mentioned this several times, but let’s recap: Evoclear Hydro is a hydrolysed whey protein isolate. So many terms, right? Let us explain:
Isolate: Protein isolation is a highly advanced purification process that increases its protein content while reducing natural carbohydrates and fat. This improves its nutritional profile, solubility, and texture.
Hydrolysed: Hydrolysing a protein involves breaking it down into smaller peptides and amino acids using enzymes, mimicking digestion. This makes it easier to absorb and reduces the digestive effort required. As a result, hydrolysed proteins are digested more quickly and efficiently.
Clarified: The process of making a 'clear' protein involves modifying its solubility and organoleptic properties to achieve a transparent drink when dissolved in water. This is done by adjusting its pH to an acidic range. The result is a clear, light, and easily digestible drink – ideal for those who prefer refreshing, less dense options over traditional shakes.
How to combine Evoclear with other products
Evoclear Hydro is easily combinable with other products. It has no special requirements or contraindications of any kind.
Unlike other whey proteins, it’s not typically recommended to mix with oat flour or other flours, as it can create an odd density in the shake. However, Evoclear Hydro works wonderfully with other amino acids that don’t alter the shake's consistency, such as Leucine, Glutamine, or Creatine Monohydrate.
Expert tip! Can you cook with Evoclear?
Cooking with whey protein is a classic use for protein powders. While clear protein may seem more challenging to cook with, don’t be fooled – it’s entirely possible.
Evoclear Hydro can be cooked with perfectly. It’s just that its use differs from Evowhey Protein, which is ideal for making protein cakes and pancakes. Due to its taste and texture, Evoclear Hydro is better suited for preparing delicious smoothies or granitas, as well as protein ice lollies or 'ice pops'.
