Koia Plant Protein Drink, Cacao Bean

Koia Plant Protein Drink in Cacao Bean is a single-serve, 12 fl oz plant-based protein shake you’ll spot in the refrigerated beverage aisle near almond milks, ready-to-drink protein shakes, cold-brew coffees and refrigerated meal-replacement drinks. Packaged in a modern, opaque bottle with minimalist branding, it reads as a convenient grab-and-go item for breakfast, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or a post-workout refuel. The brand positions itself for health-conscious, active adults—millennial and Gen Z shoppers who favor plant-forward diets, fitness routines, and clean-label messaging. Marketing leans into “plant protein,” “prebiotic fiber,” and natural-sounding ingredients like cacao and vanilla rather than indulgent dessert cues. Labels often highlight “plant protein,” “no dairy,” and use words like “natural” and “prebiotic,” and the ingredient list includes organic cane sugar but the product itself is not presented as an organic-certified item; it’s not child-focused and lacks bright kid-friendly graphics. Sensory-wise the drink is creamy and smooth, mid-viscosity from stabilizers and lecithin, with cocoa-forward chocolate notes, a mild sweetness, and a subtle earthy graininess from rice and pea proteins. Rituals around it are practical—a shake after a gym session, a rushed office breakfast, or a protein boost on a road trip. In plain terms, this is a processed, ready-to-drink plant-protein beverage made with concentrated proteins, sweeteners, emulsifiers and gelling agents to deliver consistent taste and texture across bottles.
