The [Koia Strawberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-protein-shakes1) Elite +Creatine shake is an optimized athletic nutrition refreshment that's formulated to hit a number of nutritional must-haves amongst today's nutrient-minded consumers.

The [plant-based shake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koia-kids) features 32-grams of complete protein along with 1,000mg of creatine to position it as a great option for supporting muscle recovery, strength training and sustained energy. The shake also has prebiotic fiber in the mix to give it a gut-friendly recipe, while also being made with avocado oil and no seed oils to give it a brain nutrition-friendly recipe.

CEO Chris Hunter commented on the Koia Strawberry Elite +Creatine shake saying, "We're always looking for ways to give people more reasons to love their protein—better flavors, more functional benefits, and more occasions throughout the day to meet their nutritional goals. Creatine has quickly become an important part of that equation for both men and women. Following the launch of Protein [Pop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-pop) and with Elite emerging as our fastest-growing line in just one year, Strawberry Elite +Creatine felt like a natural evolution and an exciting new first for the brand."
