RYSE Drops “The Basics” — Vanilla & Chocolate Protein
Ryse just dropped two new staples to their Loaded Protein lineup — The Basics: Vanilla and Chocolate. No collabs, no crazy flavors, just the essentials done right. Each serving packs 25g of whey protein (with isolate as the primary source), added prebiotic fiber for gut health, and MCTs to support metabolism and energy.
While the brand is known for its wild collabs and limited drops, this move proves Ryse is doubling down on quality and accessibility — giving the everyday lifter something reliable they can trust. These new flavors are smooth, clean, and perfect for daily use, whether you’re chasing performance or recovery.
Panda Drops Limited Chocolate Peanut Butter Crumble Fuel — Dessert Built Into a Protein Shake
Panda Supplements has launched a limited “Chocolate Peanut Butter Crumble” flavor in their Fuel protein line, designed to recreate a peanut butter chocolate cup pie experience inside a shaker. Unlike standard chocolate PB proteins, this release includes real texture elements — pie crust cookie gems and peanut butter chips — to deliver a true dessert-style shake. Built on a multi-phase protein system with 30g protein, just 5g carbs, and 2g sugar per serving, this drop continues Panda’s strategy of leaning into high-enjoyment, limited-run flavors rather than utilitarian day-to-day proteins.
1st Phorm Adds Maple Butter Waffle to the Level-1 Lineup
1st Phorm has added a new flavor to its sustained-release Level-1 protein line: Maple Butter Waffle. Unlike dessert-style launches most brands lean on, this drop aligns with Level-1’s identity as a food-replacement style protein rather than a fast-digest post-workout shake. With its slow-release blend, low-temperature processing, and everyday usability, Level-1 is built for real-life repetition — and Maple Butter Waffle is a flavor built to live inside those daily habits, not just stand out on a label. Full review coming once we have it in hand.
Core Nutritionals Just Raised the Bar on Vegan Protein
Core Nutritionals just did what most brands haven’t — made a vegan protein that doesn’t feel like a downgrade. Instead of the usual chalk-and-bloat experience, this one delivers a complete amino profile, added fermented BCAAs for recovery, digestive enzymes for comfort, and a texture that actually drinks smooth. If you’ve sworn off plant protein in the past, this is the first one in a while that deserves a second look.
Musclesport Brings Back a Fan Favorite: Huckleberry Cheesecake
Musclesport just brought back Huckleberry Cheesecake Lean Whey — a returning fan favorite from the brand that built the gourmet flavor movement. With a fat-loss support stack built into the formula and a flavor system nobody else can touch, this is more than a protein — it’s a category flex.
