The rising popularity of carbonated protein drinks is the inspiration behind our 100% whey protein concept. Designed with the active and health-conscious consumer in mind, it’s an ideal concept for brand owners who want to offer a great source of protein in a refreshing, lightly carbonated on-the-go format.
Opportunities in a bubbling market
With the high protein trend still booming, more consumers are choosing clear protein drinks and protein waters. One segment that increasingly stands out is carbonated protein drinks, which account for 12% of launches in the clear protein beverage category1.
Our whey protein sparkling water showcases a new opportunity for innovation in this growing market.
Clear advantages to your beverage portfolio
The key ingredient is our whey protein hydrolysate Lacprodan® HYDRO.365.
