The 2025 Rainbow Product Lineup
GHOST Clear Whey x Sour Strips Rainbow
The newest addition to the Sour Strips family, GHOST Clear Whey brings Rainbow to the innovative clear protein category. After the success of Clear Whey’s permanent launch earlier this year, adding Rainbow to the lineup makes perfect sense.
Clear Whey Nutrition:
- Calories: 100
- Protein: 25g (whey protein isolate)
- Total Fat: 0g
- Total Carbohydrate: 1g
- Total Sugars: 0g
The light, refreshing nature of Clear Whey pairs perfectly with the fruity-sour Rainbow profile. Unlike traditional milky protein shakes, Clear Whey dissolves clear in water, creating a juice-like experience that makes the Rainbow flavor shine without any dairy notes interfering.

Strategic Evolution of the Collaboration
The third year of the GHOST x Sour Strips partnership shows smart evolution. By expanding into Clear Whey and BCAA while maintaining presence in Legend and Energy, GHOST demonstrates their understanding of what fans want: favorite flavors across multiple product categories.
The addition of Clear Whey is particularly clever. The clear, juice-like format provides the perfect canvas for Rainbow’s fruity-sour profile, avoiding any clash with dairy notes that might muddy the flavor in traditional whey products. Meanwhile, BCAA offers an amino acid option for those who want the Rainbow experience during training without the caffeine from Legend or Energy.
What Does Rainbow Actually Taste Like?
Sour Strips themselves joke that “Rainbow isn’t a flavor, but who cares?”… and they’re right. Rather than a single fruit profile, Rainbow delivers a medley of fruity flavors that creates its own unique identity. Think of it as a sweet and sour symphony where no single fruit dominates, but the combination just works.
The flavor brings that distinctive sour gummy taste with enough pucker to make it interesting, balanced with fruity sweetness that keeps you coming back. It’s the kind of flavor that defies definition but delivers satisfaction — exactly what you’d expect from a candy collaboration.
Limited Edition Alert: Mark Your Calendars
These Sour Strips collaborations have historically sold out fast, and with the strategic retail exclusivity this year, availability will be even more limited. The September 9th, 2025 launch date approaches quickly, so here’s your game plan:
- Decide your priorities – With Clear Whey being GNC and DTC exclusive in the US, prioritize accordingly
- Set those reminders – These limited editions move fast
- Consider the bundle – If you’re a Rainbow fan, grabbing multiple products makes sense
The Sweet and Sour Bottom Line
At long last, GHOST Lifestyle has launched a Protein Bar! It has two skinnier protein bars inside (making for extra coating), providing 20g protein from 270 calories. And it tastes great.
GHOST continues to prove why they’re the collaboration kings of the supplement industry. The Sour Strips Rainbow partnership has evolved from a fun flavor experiment to an annual event that fans eagerly anticipate. This year’s expansion into Clear Whey and BCAA shows GHOST listening to their community: giving them more ways to enjoy their favorite flavors.
Whether you’re looking for a refreshing clear protein shake, amino acids for training, a fully-loaded pre-workout, or a convenient energy drink, Rainbow has you covered. The sour-sweet profile that defies definition but delivers satisfaction is ready to pucker up your supplement routine.
Available September 9th, 2025, at GHOST.com, GNC, and The Vitamin Shoppe (product availability varies by retailer).
