High-protein beverages are no longer just for athletes. From functional nutrition to everyday wellness, consumers are actively seeking protein drinks that taste great, digest easily, and fit seamlessly into their lifestyles. But formulating a high-protein beverage that checks all the boxes is harder than it looks.
That’s where Siena comes in.
Protein brings a unique set of formulation hurdles, especially in ready-to-drink formats. Brands often struggle with:
Solving one problem often creates another. Successful products require a holistic approach to formulation, not just a single ingredient swap.
Siena partners with brands early in the development process to design protein beverages that perform in the real world — from manufacturing to the consumer’s last sip.
Here’s how Siena helps:
Not all proteins behave the same. Siena helps identify and optimize the right protein system — whether dairy-based, plant-based, or hybrid — based on your nutritional goals, processing conditions, and target consumer. The result is improved solubility, smoother texture, and better stability.
High protein doesn’t have to mean thick, gritty, or unpleasant. Siena applies functional ingredients and formulation techniques to deliver a clean, smooth mouthfeel that aligns with your brand positioning — whether that’s indulgent, refreshing, or lightweight.
Protein can amplify bitterness or astringency. Siena works to ensure flavor systems hold up in high-protein environments, minimizing off-notes and enhancing overall drinkability without relying on excessive sweeteners.
From UHT processing to cold-fill applications, Siena helps ensure your beverage remains stable, visually appealing, and consistent throughout its intended shelf life.
Great prototypes don’t always survive scale-up. Siena formulates with commercialization in mind, helping brands move efficiently from bench-top development to full production.
Today’s consumers expect more than just protein counts on a label. They want beverages that are:
Siena helps brands deliver on all of these expectations without compromising functionality or efficiency.
Whether you’re launching a new protein drink or reformulating an existing one, Siena provides the technical expertise and collaborative approach needed to bring your concept to market with confidence.
High-protein beverages don’t have to be complicated — with the right partner, they can be delicious, stable, and scalable.
