Wildwonder, a brand known for its prebiotic and probiotic sparkling drinks, has introduced a new flavor called Banana Queen, in collaboration with RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Nymphia Wind. This limited-edition drink, which was first showcased at DragCon in Los Angeles, draws inspiration from Nymphia Wind’s vibrant persona and cultural background.
The Banana Queen incorporates banana puree and cream flavors with marigold flowers to create a taste reminiscent of banana cream pie. The drink also aligns with Wildwonder’s commitment to gut health, offering a combination of prebiotics, probiotics, and herbal ingredients rooted in Asian traditions. In addition to its unique flavor profile, the Banana Queen beverage is vegan, non-GMO, caffeine-free, and gluten-free. It contains five frames of fire, one billion probiotics, and just 40 calories.
The Banana Queen flavor marks the brand's first collaboration.
