Plant-Based Protein

Plant-based beverages continue to gain momentum as compelling alternatives to dairy-based products. As a result, many beverage brands are looking to expand their portfolios with plant protein options. However, factors like plant protein's composition, solubility, texture, and flavor interaction can make beverage formulation and development challenging.

BevSource offers specialized expertise in clean-label beverage formulation. We partner with brands looking to develop plant-based protein drinks by providing high-quality protein ingredients, texturizing systems, and taste solutions that deliver the flavor and mouthfeel consumers expect.

Plant-Based Protein Drink Formulation With Our Experts

Adding plant protein beverages to your product lineup offers a significant opportunity to reach new customer segments. While protein drinks were initially focused on the fitness and sports industry as a way to boost muscle mass and workout recovery, they have also become more popular among non-athletes looking to add protein to their diet. Plant-based proteins are among the most sought-after ingredients today, making protein drinks accessible to consumers who avoid dairy, including those with lactose intolerance or vegan lifestyles.
