What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated grab-and-go cooler next to cold brews and functional protein drinks — a tidy option for busy mornings or a post-workout boost. It gives off a health-forward, convenient vibe with a lightly indulgent coffee flavor. The ingredient list and additives (proprietary protein and fiber blends, emulsifier, gums, natural flavors) indicate industrial formulation and a smooth, stabilized texture typical of ultra-processed beverages.
