The Mariness Sweets Protein Caramel dietary supplement has been added to the brand's product portfolio as a tasty, dessert-inspired option that tackles the changing landscape for protein supplements. The product is formulated with a blend of whey and soy protein, and boasts caramel tasting notes with cookie pieces in the mix to give it a blended refreshment inspiration. The product comes in at 99-calories per serving with 13-grams of protein to give it a modest compositing that could also be doubled up, depending on protein preferences.
The Mariness Sweets Protein Caramel dietary supplement is being exclusively stocked at Don Quijote in Japan where shoppers can pick it up for 4,298 yen per 600-gram bag. The product is expected to complement the existing Cafe Mocha flavor to achieve a cafe-inspired line that's indulgent, but permissibly so.
