There’s a well-known phrase about the “gift that keeps on giving.” But here’s an interesting twist with a win—that presents still more winning upcycled ingredient ideas for new product developers.
This summer Utah State University food science students answered the challenge of developing a dairy-based product for “gamers” during National Dairy Council’s (NDC) New Product Competition. Their winning product was Moba Boba, a carbonated, pineapple-flavored energy drink (92% dairy) made from acid whey, whey phospholipid protein concentrate and 2% milk. It also features high-protein, coconut-flavored boba gummies for a fun texture. Moba Boba provides gamers with energy from 130mg of caffeine as well as 31g of protein (including 19g from dairy sources) in a 16oz serving.
