Clean Green Protein Review

The formula contains LENTEIN, an innovative, plant-based protein with amino acids also identical to those found in animal protein. It also contains a vegan enzyme blend!

Clean Machine claims that with these two revolutionary, potent ingredients at the center of the formula, it will be the perfect plant-based protein powder, reducing bloating, maximizing muscle growth, supporting recovery, and more!

The formula is suitable for a wide range of people, as it’s dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian, and non-GMO.

I’m really keen to take a closer look at this formula and see if the plant-based protein really can live up to the animal product alternatives.

If you’re thinking of purchasing this formula or you’re also intrigued to take a closer look at the protein and mushroom mix, check out my full Clean Green Protein review below.

What is Clean Green Protein?

I’m really impressed with the Clean Machine website at first glance!

The branding is spot-on, there’s so much informative content about the products and general nutrition which is really great to see, there’s a focus on sustainability, the brand partners with Food For Life Global – it’s all very promising!

Looking at the Clean Green Protein, I’m still impressed and I think this is definitely a formula that would stand out to me in a store.

However, the thing that I like the most about the first impression that I get from the Clean Green Protein is that it’s made with LENTEIN, a planet-conscious, sustainable plant-based ingredient!

I’m definitely looking forward to taking a closer look and seeing if it’s really as good as it seems on first impressions!

Background on Clean Machine

Clean Machine was founded in 2013 by Geoff Palmer, who had up until this moment, been in the natural foods & nutritional supplements industry for over 25 years.

Clean Machine was created by Palmer with the goal of producing innovative, nutrient-rich, competitive plant-based supplements.

The brand is also committed to being as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible, using plant-conscious alternative ingredients such as LENTEIN.

Clean Green Protein Ingredients

Clean Green Protein contains under 10 ingredients.

The majority of the ingredients are not fully disclosed on the ingredients label and there’s much more information about micronutrients than actual ingredients on the label – this doesn’t make working out the efficacy of the formula easy!

However, I’ll be taking a closer look at the efficacy of the formula later in this review.

First, let’s take a look at the ingredients in the Clean Green Protein formula.

Here is the supplement facts label:

How does Clean Green Protein Taste?

Clean Green Protein is Vanilla Chai flavored, and there’s a lot of mixed reviews when it comes to the taste of this formula!

Some people think it’s overly sweetened (the brand uses stevia), others think it tastes too much of chlorophyll and natural greens, and others really like the Vanilla Chai flavoring.

If you like sweet formulas, this is probably a good choice for you!

Side Effects

Clean Machine doesn’t provide any warnings associated with the Clean Green Protein formula.

I would suggest, as I do with all supplements, that if you are under 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or you have a medical condition, you should consult a doctor before consuming this supplement.

Does Clean Green Protein Work?

As mentioned above, the majority of the ingredients are not fully disclosed on the ingredients label and there’s much more information about the micronutrients that derive from the ingredients than the actual ingredients themselves.

For example, the brand has shown how much protein exists within the formula but hasn’t specified how much Lentein plant protein or pea protein exists.

The brand also hasn’t added information about the specific ingredients within the enzyme blend in the formula.

The fact that the entire ingredients list isn’t fully disclosed makes it harder for the efficacy of the formula to be worked out.

Nonetheless, the formula does contains 20g of protein which is a substantial amount, as the recommended amount of protein per day is 0.36g per pound of body weight.

Therefore, for the average man, this is 56g per day and for the average woman this works out at 46g per day – this formula supplies nearly half a woman’s daily protein intake which is great!

The chlorophyll within the formula hits standard doses of chlorophyll (between 100mg-300mg), at 127mg, and the 14.6mg dose of lutein goes way above the standard dose of 5mg.

Overall, the formula clearly contains a substantial dose of protein and a wider range of micronutrients.

However, it would be really great to know how much of each ingredient actually exists within the formula so the efficacy was clearer.

Looking at this ingredients label, it’s unclear whether all of the ingredients are sufficiently dosed. Therefore, it’s unknown whether the formula will actually work.

Clean Green Protein Reviews

Clean Green Protein is available on Amazon, and therefore we can take a look on there to see a selection of unbiased customer reviews.

Overall, the formula scores 4 stars out of 5 stars, with 57 ratings in total.

Let’s take a look at a selection of these reviews.

I have tried a lot of vegan protein powders and they always have a grainy texture even when mixed in a smoothie. This one does not and is the best so far. It gives me energy and I feel great after drinking it. My only recommendation is the company needs to come out with more flavors.
5-star reviewer

I appreciate the nutrients and ingredients however, I cannot stomach the taste. I'm trying to find ways to make this taste better. It tastes more like “green powder” than Vanilla or chai. It’s hard to find the right combo to make this taste good. I'm open to suggestions. 3-star reviewer

I have tried many many plant-based protein powders and was excited to try this one. It came yesterday and I was SO DISAPPOINTED. It tastes terrible!!! It mixes ok but the flavor is basically inedible. All I can say is that the positive reviews must be from people acquainted with the company owner. 1-star reviewer

Where to buy Clean Green Protein?

You can buy the formula from the Clean Machine website and from Amazon.

Is It Worth The Price?

One tub of Clean Green Protein contains 20 servings, and you can either purchase the formula one a one-time purchase or on a subscription. If you sign up to the subscription, you save!

One tub of Clean Green Protein on a one-time purchase costs $49.99, meaning the cost per serving works out at $2.50.

One tub of Clean Green Protein on a subscription costs $44.99, bringing the cost per serving down to $2.25.

Although the does contain 20g of protein and most of the ingredients are fully disclosed, the fact that some of the ingredients aren’t fully disclosed is disappointing to me and therefore I’m unsure whether I would say the formula is worth this price.

My Final Verdict

I really like the Clean Machine brand, and to a certain degree, I would recommend this formula – it’s plant-based, it contains a substantial amount of protein, it’s produced by a trustworthy brand, and it has positive customer reviews.

However, there are two things that are holding me back from recommending this formula.

The first thing being the fact that the micronutrients within the formula are shown on the ingredients label but the ingredients themselves aren’t is a huge letdown when it comes to brand transparency.

The second thing is that the formula does have a pretty expensive cost per serving, especially on a one-off purchase.

Overall, if you have the wallet to buy this formula and you're willing to risk the fact that you will potentially not enjoy it or benefit from it, then you may want to take the chance.

However, if you want to know exactly what you’re consuming and you want to be certain about the efficacy of a supplement, look for a high-quality formula with a fully disclosed ingredients label.

LifeHacker Guy Greens Recommendation

Some Call This An "Extreme" Step...

Most super greens supplements are disappointing.

I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.

I wasn’t happy with the results so I did something you might call "extreme"....

In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:

• No hidden ingredient amounts - we have full disclosure labelling, so you know EXACTLY whats inside
• Ingredient amounts that make a difference - we include the minimum effective amounts supported by research, and most of the time, MORE
• Ingredients that help immunity, boost mental clarity and shake off brain fog - making for a much more productive and happy lifestyle

No more worrying about ineffective ingredients or too low dosages. I finally have a product I KNOW does the job it’s made to do.

I use it every day and, after years of battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I now have my energy (and my life!) back.

The good news? I made my brand available to the public so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.
