Pro-tip from our Senior Formulator - Kevin Kumetz
When choosing flavors for sports nutrition powders, look for fruits that complement the natural acidity of the powder, such as citrus or berry flavors. Green powders, may be flavored with virtually anything, such as mango/vanilla, watermelon, or a tropical blend. Plant proteins generally don't have citrus flavors because they lack acidity and have a heavy, frothy, and fibrous texture. Instead, chocolate, vanilla, and dessert flavors are often used.

In the final leg of our Powder Manufacturing journey, packaging takes center stage, where our commitment to precision and quality culminates.
