Medium-size sips now packing 15 g protein:
- Megan’s Mango Protein Refresher – tropical mango with Protein Milk
- Strawberry Protein Refresher – creamy remix of the Strawberry Dragonfruit favorite
- Caramel Chocolate Iced Protein Latte – espresso, chocolate, caramel
- Almond Iced Protein Matcha Latte – toasted-almond twist on matcha
