The ones I've tried in the past were kinda.. milky? chalky? Fine when flavoring your own shakes or smoothies. I'm looking for something with more of a sports drink taste/feel.

You're probably not really gonna find that since sports drinks are just different. They're carbs and salt. Protein is basically the opposite.

I mean. I have found some. There are plenty on the market. They just taste like shit because 90% of them have stevia😂 Besides, I'm not looking for it to have electrolytes, I just used a sports drink as an example of flavor and texture.
BCAA + EAA tastes more like sports drinks, and kinda works like a substitute to protein powder depending on the scenario
MyProtein Clear is your answer. Good for people who are lactose intolerant as well.

Our Clear Whey Protein Isolate is a light, juice-like protein drink made from hydrolyzed whey protein isolate - a tasty, fruity alternative to a shake
I use Isopure. On occasion ,I grab the 12 pack bottles of apple melon since that flavor is only in bottle form and not powder. Either way their flavors are amazing and no stevia!

@moonpies4misfits The Vitamin Shoppe has a big range of sports drink and athletic powders, and they told me I can return any pack I didn’t like. I didn’t check for clear protein but wasn’t looking for it either.

I make a shake with fruits, avocado, coconut water, flax seed, hemp seeds and this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KITQG0A?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
I buy the unflavored one since I dislike any artificial flavor

I got the wicked sampler also, the weird coating aftertaste is really off-putting. I don't normally mind stevia and hate all artficial sweeteners which almost all other brands use.

I really like my protein clear whey berry burst flavour in particular but make it 30 min before and put in the fridge and use like a pint of water

I got suckered into buying 1up Nutrition Clear Protein, the Lemon Italian Ice, from a FB ad that had infiltrated my feed. And I’m so glad I did because it’s DELICIOUS.
Funny that I pay more for protein than I do Tirz, now.

Yeah. Clear protein to me still tastes like... protein. I like stevia just fine and none of the dozen or so clear protein drinks have tasted anything like a sports drink.
I've resigned myself to a life of popping in a couple of lactaids and chugging down a protein shake or two every day.

Ive been eyeballing that one but was super hesitant to spend that much without tasting it first.
I just came across this old post but wanted to share my two cents because this is literally my daily drink. HIGHLY recommend! 1st phorm clear - lemonade

Otherwise I buy unflavored protein powder that I mix in anything I cook or drink really. You can do pancakes, crepes, smoothie, etc.

Yes! This one has similar macros and is delicious. I got it initially from Costco.com, but unfortunately had to restock at Amazon.
Yo, are you still into this item? I'm thinking of investing as I love lemon.

Don't take this personal because it's not about you. But it's become a big pet peeve of mine when people use "invest" when they just mean "buy"

Not right now, but more so because I prefer lemon during warm weather. Something about lemon in the dead of winter is weird to me.
I think it's a fun colloquialism when an item is absurdly expensive, but I hear you.
Once winter solstice hits I do my best to trick myself into believing spring is like, tomorrow. Lemon it is!

Yes, but we are buying these protein drinks to "invest" in our health.
OMG! I looked this up after reading your post. They have so many flavors that look delicious. Expensive, but soooo tempting. Thank you!
How about "he is in the market" to buy protein? 😀

Just curious, what's the benefit of this "clear" protein? Is it literally clear?

clear protein is not mixed in milk. so it drinks more like juice and typically has less calories per g of protein. I use both kinds.

Are egg whites considered clear protein??

clear protein are just ones that mix well with water and then become clear. I don't think its a technical classification. But having experimented with egg white powder, it mixes ok with water but definitely doesn't get clear. It makes the drink cloudy and frothy. But I still use it in some of my juices.
