FrieslandCampina Ingredients created a high-concentration protein gel using its Nutri Whey Isolate Clear, which offers a compact way to pack a punch with protein. Thanks to their format, the gel is neutral in flavor and adaptable enough to be squeezed or spooned. Thanks to the way it uniquely delivers a high amount of protein, the gels have the potential to compete with ready-to-drink beverages by offering an even more portable product.
According to Vicky Davies, global marketing director, performance and active nutrition at FrieslandCampina Ingredients, "With the mainstreaming of performance nutrition, demand is growing for high-protein supplements and snacks that fit within a busy lifestyle—so with little or no preparation and designed for fast consumption."
