Rise Wellness announced the expansion of its Protein Pop offering with the launch of Protein Pop Plus, a new carbonated, ready‑to‑drink clear protein beverage now available at all 607 Costco locations across the United States. Protein Pop Plus builds on the success of the brand’s original Protein Pop line, offering consumers a bold new way to enjoy high‑protein nutrition in a refreshing, carbonated format.
Protein Pop Plus delivers 30 grams of protein in a 12‑ounce can, combining a blend of whey protein isolate plus bovine collagen into a clear, lightly carbonated beverage designed to drink more like a soda than a traditional protein shake. With zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no caffeine, Protein Pop Plus is positioned as a satisfying alternative for consumers seeking functional nutrition without heaviness or compromise.
“Protein Pop Plus represents the next evolution of our Protein Pop brand,” said Darin Perry, CEO of Rise Wellness. “It’s the only clear protein drink in the market with 30 grams of protein, collagen and no artificial sweeteners. It’s a great option for consumers looking for protein options throughout the day, not just post‑workout morning routines.”
From Expo West to Nationwide Retail Expansion
Protein Pop made its debut at Natural Products Expo West last year, where the brand debuted its original clear protein beverage to the natural and specialty retail community. Following strong interest and momentum from Expo West, Protein Pop with 22 grams of whey protein isolate launched nationwide in all Target stores in September, positioning the brand as a fast‑growing player in the functional beverage space.
