Collagen-Boost Protein Shakes and Balanced Protein Meals designed for performance, convenience, and complete nutrition.

Meeting the demand for smarter nutrition

Today’s consumers are looking for convenient nutrition solutions that fit seamlessly into busy lifestyles while supporting their health and wellness goals. Whether they seek post-workout recovery, sustained energy throughout the day, or balanced nutrition on the go, consumers increasingly expect products that deliver high protein content, functional benefits, and enjoyable taste experiences.

Our protein-powered nutrition solutions bring together two versatile concepts: Collagen-Boost Protein Shakes and Balanced Protein Meals. Both concepts combine high-quality protein, collagen peptides, fibre, and carefully selected ingredients to deliver convenient, instant nutrition without compromising flavour.

Convenient nutrition with high-quality protein

Protein remains one of the most sought-after nutritional benefits across active lifestyle and wellness categories.

These concepts combine whey protein concentrate and collagen peptides to deliver a balanced protein profile while maintaining a smooth, enjoyable texture. The result is a convenient solution that supports muscle health and recovery while offering excellent drinkability.

Carefully selected ingredient solutions help ensure:

Smooth texture
Good dispersibility
Pleasant mouthfeel
Excellent flavour delivery

Collagen-enhanced performance support

Collagen peptides play a central role in both concepts, providing fast-absorbing protein that supports active consumers seeking recovery and performance-focused nutrition.

Combined with high-quality whey proteins, the formulations offer a comprehensive protein solution designed to meet the demands of modern lifestyles without compromising sensory appeal.

Supporting everyday wellness

Beyond protein enrichment, these concepts incorporate soluble corn fibre to enhance their nutritional profile.

The fibre contributes to digestive wellness while maintaining low viscosity and excellent digestibility, allowing for a clean and pleasant drinking experience.

For the Balanced Protein Meals, the addition of fibre and carefully selected carbohydrates helps create a more complete nutritional solution suitable for meal replacement applications.

Complete nutrition in every serving

Our Balanced Protein Meal has been developed to deliver a more comprehensive nutritional experience.

In addition to protein and fibre, the formulation includes vitamins and minerals to support overall wellbeing, maltodextrins to provide energy and a carefully balanced nutritional profile for meal replacement positioning.

Premium ingredients for indulgent taste

Consumers increasingly expect nutritional products to deliver enjoyable sensory experiences alongside functional benefits. Our flavour systems and natural extracts help create appealing taste profiles that elevate both concepts beyond traditional nutritional beverages.

Collagen-Boost Protein Shake is available in:

Salted Caramel
Choco-Peanut

Balanced Protein Meal is available in:

Vanilla-Raspberry
Tropical (Mango & Passion Fruit)

Premium flavours, natural extracts, and tailored ingredient solutions help:

Deliver authentic taste profiles
Enhance indulgence

Sugar-free convenience

Both concepts are formulated without sugar while maintaining a satisfying sweetness profile using sucralose.

This enables developers to create nutrition solutions that align with calorie-conscious consumer preferences while preserving taste and enjoyment.

Designed for a balanced sensory experience

A carefully selected stabilization system featuring carrageenan ensures consistent texture, smooth mouthfeel, and product stability throughout shelf life and preparation.

Additional ingredients such as creamers, fibres, proteins, and natural colours contribute to an appealing appearance and premium drinking experience.

The result is a range of nutrition concepts that successfully combine functionality, convenience, and indulgence in every serving.
