Propel launches Clear Protein, a refreshing new take on functional hydration with 20g protein, fiber and electrolytes

CHICAGO (May 6, 2026) - Propel, now in its 12th consecutive year of growth, today announced that Propel Clear Protein - a ready-to-mix powder offering the 3-in-1 benefits of protein, fiber and hydration in one flavorful sip - is now available via Walmart.com, Amazon, Gatorade.com and TikTok Shop. Developed with registered dietitians, Propel Clear Protein meets growing consumer demand - including from GLP-1 users navigating unique nutritional needs - for multifunctional beverages that support their active wellness journey, without compromising taste or convenience.

Setting a new standard for protein

The Clear Protein category is experiencing significant growth as health-conscious consumers seek out refreshing alternatives to traditional protein drinks. Propel Clear Protein addresses this need through a science-backed, 3-in-1 powder that includes:

• 20g Whey Protein: To help maintain muscle mass.
• 3g Fiber: To support digestive health, helping to fill a critical gap as only 5% of Americans currently meet daily fiber recommendations.*
• Electrolytes: To help maintain hydration, also critically important as 150 million Americans report feeling the impact of dehydration weekly.**

"Our priority was solving a real human need through a science-backed, multifunctional product," said Damian Browne, SVP of R&D, U.S. Beverages at PepsiCo. "What we've created with Propel Clear Protein is a real breakthrough for consumers, who can now get their protein, fiber and hydration in one great-tasting beverage, without the heaviness of a traditional protein shake."

Simple preparation, maximum convenience

Propel Clear Protein comes in three refreshing flavors: Peach Ginger, Apple Pear and Watermelon. Each powder packet contains zero sugar, 90 calories, and no artificial flavors or sweeteners, or added colors. Simply mix the contents of one packet with 12 to 14 ounces of water, and shake until fully dissolved.

Expanding a powerhouse functional portfolio

Propel Clear Protein is the latest addition to the brand's science-backed functional hydration portfolio, designed to help wellness-minded people get the most out of their active lives. The brand's broader product portfolio - available in ready-to-drink and powder formats - includes:

• Propel Fitness Water: With Gatorade Electrolytes, zero sugar and vitamins, Propel Fitness Water hydrates better than water.
