Costco's New 'So Good' Sparkling Protein Drink Has Shoppers Clearing the Shelves

With a growing desire for protein-filled snacks, treats and beverages, manufacturers are crafting more options to please consumers. Whether that’s a new puffy protein bar, oatmeal breakfast shake or protein-rich candy bar dupe, there is something for everyone.

The latest to drop on the market is Genius Gourmet’s Sparkling Protein Clear Protein. This new drink boasts 30-grams of protein and is a completely clear, crisp sparkling beverage thanks to the ultra-filtering process. The ingredients list contains carbonated water, whey protein isolate and collagen protein, with sucralose to add a bit of sweetness.

Social media users seem delighted and excited about the launch of the protein sparkling water beverage in Costco stores. “So excited for this!” and “I want to try!” exclaimed a few Instagram followers. Others, who have tried the beverage, stated “I've sampled these and they are SOOO GOOD! 30 grams of protein, great summertime drink!” And, “it is soooo good. Got it today at Costco”.

This seems to be one of the first protein-rich drinks that’s clear, crisp and bubbly with no chalky or thick shake-like texture. That means we’re willing to give it a try.
