Black soybean protein powder as a quick breakfast: Cleanit Black Bean

A breakfast substitute built around a baked egg and plant-based protein — Cleanit Black Bean seoritae (black soybean) powder.

Why I started paying attention to protein at breakfast

I've never seen people this serious about protein, and only now, at this age, do I get why!

Apparently as you age, losing weight gets harder but protein and muscle just melt away — now I understand why people on TV or YouTube force themselves to eat chicken breast!

What is Cleanit Black Bean? A 520g black soybean powder

So lately I've been eating Cleanit Black Bean 520g

True to its name, it's a plant-based protein product built around black soybean, specifically a seoritae (black soybean) powder type — since I already like seoritae powder, the taste feels familiar to me!

But since I started managing breakfast this way, I naturally found myself searching how much protein I should be eating in a day. Apparently protein is such an important nutrient that it's better to spread it evenly across all meals in a day rather than loading up at one meal — so eating a big load at breakfast isn't actually 'done, checked off'...

The morning routine: one baked egg plus a cup of Cleanit Black Bean

Lately my mornings run on a baked egg and bean powder routine

I used to agonize over what to eat every morning, but lately it's often just one baked egg with seoritae powder mixed into water. It's simple to prepare and lets me cover both protein and plant-based ingredients at once — perfect for mornings!

How does 34% black soybean powder taste? Nutty, like misugaru

What I especially like is that it's 34% seoritae powder!

Being made from black soybean, it clearly has that nutty bean-powder look from the color alone, and mixed with water it tastes nutty like misugaru (roasted grain powder).

I sometimes mix it with milk or soy milk, but when I'm busy I just mix it with water — it dissolves better than expected and the taste isn't heavy at all. Prepare one baked egg and mix up a cup of Cleanit Black Bean, and breakfast is basically done, so it's easy to manage even on busy days!

Brewer's yeast and biotin in Cleanit Black Bean

Besides seoritae, Cleanit Black Bean also contains brewer's yeast and biotin. I've been worrying about my hair lately, and with 600mg of low-temperature dried brewer's yeast plus biotin in one pack, it covers what I want!

Also worth noting: it's listed as free of milk and allergy-related ingredients. That said, individual reactions to food can vary, so if you have allergies, definitely check the ingredient list and allergy labeling before eating.

170kcal per cup: a breakfast add-on rather than a full meal replacement

Calories per cup are listed at 170kcal by the product

So I don't treat this as a full meal replacement — I use it as a simple morning combo with a baked egg when I'm short on time, and try to get enough protein at lunch instead!

Covering protein with a baked egg and mixing bean powder into water makes the whole prep process really simple, so if you already like seoritae soy milk or black bean soy milk, this nutty bean flavor will feel pretty familiar. If you like the distinctive nutty taste of seoritae powder in particular, it's convenient that you can drink it like misugaru with just water added. It's also been useful for checking what ingredients and nutrients I'm getting alongside my usual diet, so lately I've gotten into the habit of checking the back label first haha. Checking the ingredient list really does seem important when picking products.

Does Cleanit Black Bean dissolve in water without clumping?

Bake one egg, mix Cleanit Black Bean into water, and that's it! No clumping at all with Cleanit Black Bean — it just dissolves smoothly into the water, stress-free haha

For days when I want a simple breakfast substitute or when meal prep feels like a hassle, I think using a plant-based protein product like this as a supplement isn't a bad idea at all.

These days my morning routine is just this — a baked egg and a cup of bean powder! If you're someone who used to eat seoritae powder on its own, trying it in this easier form could be one way to go.
