Protein-Enriched Everyday Dairy
Protein has evolved beyond traditional sports nutrition, becoming a mainstream wellness ingredient as consumers look for convenient and enjoyable ways to incorporate more protein into their everyday diets. Dairy is well positioned to meet this demand, providing a familiar and versatile foundation for protein-rich innovation across everyday formats such as milk and yoghurt.
Our concepts explore how protein systems and supporting ingredients can be combined to develop nutritionally enhanced dairy products while balancing taste, texture, stability and overall sensory appeal.
