At a time when protein is the macronutrient everyone wants to get more of, Tazo Protein Latte Powders are launching soon to provide a convenient, comforting way to get 20 grams of protein with just five grams of sugar. These protein-packed latte powders are debuting in two varieties: Chai Latte and Matcha Latte.
Alongside its new Protein Latte Powders, Tazo is launching better-for-you, caffeine-free Tazo Wellness Blends in six flavors, and Tazo Organic Matcha Latte Powders. "These products were developed by carefully balancing ingredient functionality and taste, ensuring that added benefits, like whey protein isolate, integrate seamlessly without compromising on the experience," said Alex White, research and innovation director. "Our wellness blends were crafted around a feel‐good taste, complemented by matcha lattes designed to deliver a true cafe‐at‐home sensory experience."
