The functional food market is evolving, with consumers increasingly seeking products that deliver more than just nutrition. Color has become a key element in shaping flavor expectations, and as the demand for clean label ingredients rises, brands must create visually appealing and functional solutions. 

While traditional protein powders are typically used in smoothies and shakes, there is significant room to expand their applications as more consumers look to increase protein intake throughout the day. This presents a unique opportunity for manufacturers to innovate by incorporating vibrant colors from fruits, vegetables, and plants into high-protein food options, while also exploring exciting culinary realms. By moving beyond the familiar flavors of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla, brands can tap into the bold world of spices and savory options, offering consumers a more diverse and enjoyable protein experience. 

Enter ColorFusion Protein Powder from our EXBERRY® kitchen —a creative concept designed to inspire manufacturers to harness the power of vibrant colors, transforming protein supplements into enticing choices that resonate with today’s adventurous palates. 

 

 

Elevate Everyday Dishes:  The Versatile Benefits of ColorFusion Protein 

ColorFusion Protein Powders offer more than just a protein boost—they elevate the entire flavor experience. Made with EXBERRY®’s plant-based color solutions, including micronized powders and oil-soluble colors, these vibrant powders appeal to clean label consumers while delivering bold colors and flavors. 

This innovative idea redefines what a protein supplement can be by offering a convenient ready-to-use finishing seasoning. Simply sprinkle it onto favorite foods just before serving—whether it’s fettuccine alfredo, cottage cheese, or savory stews. It adds protein, flavor, and a burst of color, transforming everyday meals with minimal effort. Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of hot or cold, moisture-rich dishes, enhancing meals without extra preparation time. 

 

Opening The Door to New Culinary Applications for Protein 

Our professional chefs have crafted exciting flavors in three distinct savory protein powders, each designed to add a unique twist to classic seasonings: 

 

 

Yuzu Aji Amarillo Collagen Peptides  

This powder combines the zesty citrus of yuzu with the mild heat of aji amarillo, offering a savory twist on lemon-pepper seasoning. With 5g of protein per 1.5 TBSP serving, it enhances pasta, rice dishes, soups, and even popcorn. Its bold flavor and vibrant yellow color, achieved with our new EXBERRY® Yellow Carotene OS, make it a striking addition to meals, blending seamlessly into sauces and dressings. 

 

 

Balsamic Vinegar and Sea Salt Soy Isolate Protein 

For fans of tangy balsamic vinegar, this powder reimagines the classic salt-and-vinegar combo. Delivering 3g of protein per 1.5 TBSP serving, it elevates pasta, roasted potatoes, chips, and savory oatmeal. The vibrant colors, achieved with EXBERRY® Glacial Blue Powder made from spirulina and Fiesta Pink MN Powder made from red beet root, enhance both flavor and visual appeal. 

 

 

Berbere Spice Whey Protein Isolate  

Inspired by the rich flavors of West African berbere spice, this whey protein powder offers depth without heat. The combination of garlic, onion, and allspice creates a layered taste perfect for pasta, rice, soups, and roasted chickpeas. With 4g of protein per 1.5 TBSP serving, its natural red color is achieved with EXBERRY® Shade Red MN Powder and EXBERRY® Annatto OS Intense, making it a versatile addition to creamy sauces and snack seasonings. 

 

With natural spices and plant-based colors, these protein powders transform any dish into a satisfying meal that looks as good as it tastes. This versatility is essential for manufacturers aiming to create products that fit seamlessly into a variety of meal occasions. From breakfast to dinner and even snacks, ColorFusion powders provide a flexible solution for consumers seeking to increase their protein intake without compromising on taste or visual appeal.
