The girlies are now obsessed with protein mocktails
This trend isn’t just a flex for your Instagram. It’s a whole mood shift in how Gen Z drinks: protein isn’t just for post-gym shakes anymore. It’s for brunches, night-ins, and anytime you wanna sip something that’s tasty, social, and actually doing stuff for your body.

From Basic Gym Shakes to Party-Ready Drinks
Let’s be real, protein shakes used to be kinda boring. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, rinse and repeat. Functional? Sure. Exciting? Nah. But now, protein is getting a glow-up. Enter protein sodas: fizzy, flavorful, and packed with protein (plant-based, whey, whatever your vibe is).
These aren’t just drinks; they’re a lifestyle upgrade. Mix them with herbs, citrus, cold brew, or sparkling water and boom, you’ve got a drink that looks like a cocktail at brunch but actually hits different because it’s doing the nutrition flex.

Unlike soda, you’re not just sipping empty calories. These drinks fill you up, give you energy, and make your body feel seen. And yes, you can sip them alone or turn them into mocktail masterpieces for the ‘gram.
