Coffee and protein are colliding with the new Myprotein Protein Iced Coffee range that responds to the interest amongst consumers in cafe-quality refreshments with a nutritional twist. The product range maintains a hybrid formulation that works seamlessly as an iced coffee mix, but also as a protein supplement to help boost nutritional benefits. The product range features five flavors including Mocha, Iced Latte, Caramel Latte, Vanilla Latte and Matcha, which each have 20-grams of protein in every serving with as much as 80mg of caffeine with a low amount of sugar.
Brand Director Brett Hamer commented on the Myprotein Protein Iced Coffee range saying, "This is our first product to combine real coffee and protein. It taps into the on-the-go consumer mindset and addresses a clear market need for a product that delivers both the caffeine hit of an espresso shot and the protein of a dedicated supplement, all in a single, convenient format."
