  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nWhen you hear “**protein drinks,** ” your mind likely goes to thick smoothies and chalky shakes first. Or maybe, you're already on the new wave by ordering **Protein Milk at Dunkin'**. As the line between functional wellness and traditional nutrition continues to blur in 2026, an all-new protein drink has emerged: One that’s __never__ chalky or feels like a chore to chug down.\n\nEnter protein **soda**. By utilizing clear whey isolates and hydrolyzed collagen, brands have figured out how to infuse a single can with anywhere from 10 to 25 grams of protein, all while mimicking your favorite pops with fizziness and bold flavor.\n\n* * *\n\n## Whether you’re looking for a post-workout refreshment or an easy way to sneak more protein into your lunch break, these 5 protein sodas prove you don't always have to settle for a bulky shake.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Koia Protein Pop\n\nKoia's new protein soda, Protein Pop, comes in four delicious flavors like Rocket Freeze (think melted Rocket Pop), Sour Squeeze (lemon lime), Pink Twist (watermelon), and Capri Splash (tropical punch), so you never tire of sipping on a single flavor. Each can contains 10 grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of fiber for a balanced swig every time.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Clean Simple Eats Clear Frosted Lemonade Protein Soda\n\nThis frosted lemonade flavor is insanely refreshing, so we highly recommend it as a post-gym pick-me-up. This protein soda delivers 20 grams of protein per can, all without sugar. _The innovation!_\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Barebells Sweet Cherry Protein Soda\n\nCherry sodas are our vice, so we _love_ to see that Barebells created a protein-packed iteration to enjoy. Not only is it packed with protein (10 grams of whey protein isolate, to be exact), but it's also caffeinated with 200 milligrams of caffeine and B vitamins to keep your energy up throughout the day.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Bucked Up Orange Cream Protein Soda\n\nFlavored like a classic orange creamsicle, this protein soda from Bucked Up contains a whopping 25 grams of protein per can, which could be super helpful if you're bulking and building muscle. _Hot tip: add a small splash of vanilla creamer to make the drink a bit milkier and more treat-like._\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### WAAY Sparkling Clear Protein Drink\n\nWAAY's sparkling protein drinks come in fun flavors like grapefruit, lemon-raspberry, and orange, so you can have some options to pick from day-to-day. Each can contains 10 grams of protein, all without any added sugar. _Score!_\n\n**Subscribe toour newsletter to discover more of the best food + drink products hitting shelves this year!**\n\n__Brit + Co may at times use affiliate links to promote products sold by others, but always offers genuine editorial recommendations.__",
