We’re transporting you to Japan with this truly unique recipe. Cherry blossom is a not only an entire season that’s celebrated in Japan, but it’s grown into a popular flavour for edible sweet treats too.

It’s a delicate, floral flavour, making it the perfect match for our Clear Whey Isolate, which is a refreshing, light protein drink — an innovative alternative to your traditional milky shakes.

Raindrop cake is a traditional jelly-like Japanese dessert, usually made from water and agar powder and topped with black sugar syrup and roasted soybeans. We decided to try the ultimate Japanese-inspired dish by using our cherry blossom Clear Whey Isolate to flavour a raindrop cake. Pretty cool, right?

Just check out that jiggle.
