    Lifeway Foods, TruFusion Fitness Studios to launch probiotic protein smoothie

    TruEnergy fueled by Lifeway will offer on-the-go nutrition to TruFusion members.

    TruEnergy fueled by Lifeway is a collaboration between Lifeway and TruFusion Fitness Studios
    January 16, 2019

    Lifeway Foods, Inc., a Morton Grove, Ill.-based supplier of kefir fermented dairy and probiotic products, announced a new partnership with TruFusion Fitness Studios to launch a cobranded probiotic protein smoothie, TruEnergy fueled by Lifeway. The new smoothie is an 8-ounce vanilla-flavored kefir drink designed for fitness enthusiasts.

    According to Lifeway Foods, TruEnergy fueled by Lifeway has 21 grams of protein and 12 live and active probiotic cultures. It was developed to address the need for a clean and convenient grab-and-go offering packed with protein and probiotics for TruFusion members. The product will be launched February 2019 in TruFusion’s Las Vegas studios and in Atlanta at the WheelsUp Super Saturday event.

    “Most protein drinks are only concerned with building muscle. At Lifeway, we know that your gut should be just as strong as your biceps and your quads,” said Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods. “We’ve created a fitness drink that serves the whole body, including support for digestion and immunity.”

    TruFusion, founded in 2016 in Las Vegas, is a boutique fitness studio with more than 96 franchises in cities across the United States, including New York, Austin, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. After launching in Las Vegas, TruFusion plans to expand TruEnergy fueled by Lifeway throughout its fitness studios.

      Optimize Whey Protein Isolate Production: Discover New Opportunities from Whey Protein Phospholipid Concentrate Research

      On Demand Production of Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) have always been hampered by the creation of pro-cream. This occurs as a byproduct during the microfiltration step to remove the remaining cream in Whey Protein Concentrate to achieve 90% WPI. However, new advancements in WPI processing equipment alongside research conducted at the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research, has helped increase value, awareness and applications for the use of Whey Protein Phospholipid Concentrate (WPPC).
