Black bean protein powder for postpartum hair care: Cleanit Black Bean

My hair has been thinning quite a bit since giving birth, and while looking into black bean products for it, I came across "Cleanit Black Bean" plant protein.

Why postpartum hair thinning led to black bean powder

A lot of protein pouches and drinks on the market just pump up the protein content while skimping on the actual ingredients. Cleanit Black Bean minimizes artificial additives and unnecessary fillers, and is packed with core ingredients that actually help with hair nutrition, so I could drink it with much more peace of mind.

Cleanit Black Bean contains a whopping 34% domestic seoritae (black soybean) powder, the poster child of black foods, so I felt like I was getting a proper dose of seoritae nutrition. Since this is something I drink every single morning, I do pay close attention to the ingredients, and knowing it's a plant-based ingredient with no GMO worries made it feel totally fine to keep drinking daily.

What's inside Cleanit Black Bean: 34% seoritae, biotin, brewer's yeast

Opening the zipper pouch, a subtle nutty seoritae aroma spreads out, and the powder particles are very even and smooth.

Besides the 34% seoritae powder that helps with hair health and thicker hair, it also contains top-grade biotin from France's DSM at 3,333% of daily intake, plus 600mg of low-temperature dried brewer's yeast, which is good for hair health.

Mixing Cleanit Black Bean with cold water only, no milk

No need to prepare milk separately — just mix it with cold water and shake, and you get a nutty shake in no time, super convenient for busy mornings.

On busy mornings I look for a breakfast substitute that's easy on the stomach, and Cleanit Black Bean is only 170kcal per serving, so it's light enough to have even while dieting.

It's a vegan protein with absolutely no milk or soy allergens, so even for someone like me who usually gets bloated from milk, it was easy to digest and I could drink it without worrying about skin trouble!

What Cleanit Black Bean tastes like: nutty misugaru, no chalkiness

Drinking it myself, there was none of that typical chalky protein texture at all — it was really satisfying, clean and mild. It tastes like nutty misugaru (roasted grain powder), so I never get tired of it even drinking daily, and even with just water and no milk, you can still fully taste the natural nuttiness of the beans.

It's really a perfect combo for anyone dealing with hair loss or thinning hair. I also loved that the powder doesn't clump even in cold water — just a few shakes and it dissolves smoothly. There's no artificial sweetness or that heavy protein-powder smell at all; it has the natural nuttiness of freshly ground misugaru from a grain mill, or a nutty grain shake. Even people who could never stick with protein drinks because of that off-putting protein taste should be able to enjoy this without complaint.

Using it as a breakfast replacement and post-workout protein

I drink it as a stomach-friendly breakfast substitute on busy mornings, or I pack the powder in a shaker bottle when I work out and drink it right after exercise for a protein boost. At 170kcal per serving, it's light enough for anyone on a diet or watching their meals to take easily.

Since it comes as a large pouch instead of individual sticks, it's really convenient to freely adjust the amount depending on your condition or activity level that day. The zipper seal is also sturdy, so you can store it hygienically and use it cleanly down to the very last scoop.

For anyone juggling a busy life who wants to manage a healthy diet and thicker hair care at the same time, or parenting moms and office workers looking for a simple breakfast substitute without stomach discomfort, I'd definitely recommend giving Cleanit Black Bean plant protein a try!
