Protein2O is known for creating clear water beverages that are enhanced with whey protein and the brand is now introducing its first-ever plant-based protein water. Developing these new products was a particular challenge, especially related to solubility and opacity, and the refreshing beverages enriched with proprietary pea protein isolate are packaged in tall 11-ounce cans.
The plant-based protein water products are offered in unique flavors like Lemongrass Chamomile, Blackberry Basil and Key Lime Coconut, each of which shares 15 grams of plant-powered protein. The light and non-carbonated beverages offer an alternative way for people to enjoy a protein beverage in the form of something other than a shake or a smoothie.
