Did you Know?
In the year 2021, 64% of Americans were attempting to increase their protein intake to achieve a healthier diet.
Whey protein is the most commonly used protein in beverages.
The protein drink market is expected to grow at a rate of 8.6% from 2023 to 2029, reaching $41.50 billion.
History
Protein Drinks
Originally introduced in the fitness and sports industry in the mid-20th century, protein drinks were primarily consumed by athletes and fitness enthusiasts to support muscle recovery and growth. Over time, protein drinks have undergone a significant transformation, evolving from their basic functional nature to develop better tastes and enhanced nutritional profiles.
With advancements in flavor technology and ingredient innovation, a wide range of delicious and refreshing options cater to diverse consumer preferences. Protein-enriched products today are functional as much as they are ubiquitous and can be infused into anything — even water!
Key Considerations
- Protein drinks of today aren't limited to the traditional dairy-based options. We have innovated the use of collagen, as well as plant-based protein drinks for vegans and those with dairy intolerances.
- Whey protein ingredients work best in high acid beverages and milk protein ingredients work best in low acid beverages.
- When proteins are at a low pH or poorly hydrated, it can lead to defects such as a grainy texture or protein settling in the finished beverage. Through our process, we ensure that you are 100% satisfied with the final product through multiple taste tests and check-ins.
