Oikos Pro Fuel blurs the lines between a few growing categories, including ready-to-drink coffee beverages and energy drinks, and builds on Oikos Triple Zero's response to many people's desire for options that are high in protein.
"The energy drink market is a large and growing space with consumers looking for nutritious energy sources to help them focus on their goals," said Ben Arbib, Innovation Brand Manager for Oikos.
