The Oikos Protein Shake range is being expanded by Danone as part of its initiative to satisfy increasing consumer demand for protein-rich foods and drinks that put a focus on high-quality flavor.
The ready-to-drink (RTD) shake range now features the Mocha Latte and Strawberry flavors, which are each packed with 30-grams of protein, five-grams of prebiotic fiber, one-gram of sugar and vitamins A and D. The drinks are also free from added sugar with no artificial flavors or sweeteners. The Strawberry flavor leverages the popularity of the simple summertime fruit, while the Mocha Latte has 95mg of caffeine to tap into demand for protein coffees (AKA proffee).
The new additions to the Oikos Protein Shake range are launching in the US now.
