Keto beverages with whey protein and natural fats

The ketogenic or “keto” diet has been among the top trending diets of the past few years. Seen by a growing number of consumers as a lifestyle oriented strategy for maintaining or reducing body weight, and warmly welcomed by the sports and fitness crowd, the diet calls for strict adherence to a low-carbohydrate, high-fat food regime. Following a ketogenic diet activates a metabolic state called ketosis, which switches energy to be sourced from body fat.

Popular potential

Keto diets have also inspired a broad range of keto-tailored products from meal replacement bars to ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, with many brands eager to seize its potential. In fact, the combination of consumer interest and product innovation has seen a global CAGR of 175% in product launches for the 2017-2020 period, with North America strongly leading the trend.

Beverages set the pace

New product launches with a “keto” claim more than doubled in 2019 compared with 2018 – a year in which launches had already quadrupled over 20171. But it’s the beverage segment that is setting the pace for keto diet products. Protein ready-to-mix shakes and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages are perfect for the popular low-carb, high-fat KETO diet. They serve as a great snack on the go – or as a meal replacement with the necessary ratios of nutrients to achieve the fat-burning benefits of ketosis.
