Happy Pea Hydro Protein — fully soluble at every pH, and invisible in the final drink.
Taste note: hydrolysis gives a slight bitterness typical of hydrolysates. For a near-neutral base we recommend Happy Pea Protein Neutral.
Clear protein drinks are the fastest-moving format in sports nutrition, and the hardest to formulate. Consumers want a meaningful protein load in something that still looks like water — and they don't want to taste it, feel it, or find it settled at the bottom of the bottle.
Happy Pea Hydro Protein is built for exactly that. Controlled enzymatic hydrolysis breaks the protein into peptides of 500–2,000 Da, so the powder dissolves completely, stays dissolved, and leaves nothing behind: no cloud, no sediment, the drink stays as clear as water.
Transparent solution across the pH range — no cloudiness, no sedimentation, even in low-viscosity water.
Hydrolysis leaves a slight bitterness typical of hydrolysates. For flavour-critical blends, pair with Happy Pea Protein Neutral — practically no beany or bitter notes, no masking required.
Small peptides are absorbed quickly — useful for intra-workout drinks and post-workout recovery.
Stays soluble at low pH: fruit juices, citrus systems and kombucha-style formulations.

Hydrolysed for solubility — not tinted or filtered to look better.
Hydrolysis creates small peptides, which can read slightly bitter — normal for hydrolysed proteins and usually manageable in flavoured beverages. For a near-neutral base with practically no beany or bitter notes, use Happy Pea Protein Neutral.
