Whey protein for sports drinkable yogurt
Arla Foods Ingredients developed a whey protein for creating “sports yogurts”— yogurt-based sports nutrition products that will appeal to active consumers who prefer not to use traditional gels and shakes. The Nutrilac solution is used to produce drinkable yogurts with a pleasant taste and texture just like a standard drinkable yogurt, but with a whey protein content as high as 28 grams per serving. Using the new ingredient, the drinkable yogurts can be formulated in a variety of flavors and packaged in bottles or pouches. The yogurt solution is formulated to offer a carbohydrate to protein ratio of 1:1, the ideal balance to optimize and accelerate the recovery process, according to the company.
