Ghost x Rainbow Sour Strips: The Collab That Could Take Over
Ghost is making waves again — and this time, they’re doing it by bringing back one of their most beloved collabs: Rainbow Sour Strips. Fans have been waiting, and Ghost delivered, dropping the flavor across Legend Pre-Workout, BCAAs, the Ghost Energy Drink, and even a brand new Clear Whey Protein.
Let’s break it all down.
Legend Pre-Workout
Ghost’s flagship pre-workout is one of the best examples of why the brand has grown into a giant in the supplement space. Unlike most “pixie dusted” formulas, Legend is fully transparent and clinically dosed. There is truly no other pre-workout on the market that is as loaded as this. To put it into context, a scoop serving is 22.5 grams.
Key highlights:
Caffeine + natural stimulants: Smooth energy without a nasty crash.
Citrulline & other pump ingredients: Real nitric oxide support for pumps and blood flow.
Nootropics for focus: Keeps your head in the game when the workout gets tough.
What makes this drop exciting is the Rainbow Sour Strips flavor system — tart, sweet, and candy-inspired without being overwhelming. Pre-workouts live and die by flavor, and Ghost nails it consistently.
BCAAs
Branch Chain Amino Acids have been debated in the industry, but Ghost’s BCAAs stand out as a hydration + recovery product more than just “old-school BCAAs.”
Formula notes:
5g of fermented vegan BCAAs for recovery.
Added electrolytes to support hydration during training.
Full transparency — you know exactly how much of each ingredient you’re getting.
This isn’t about magic muscle growth (because we know BCAAs alone won’t do that). It’s about sipping on something tasty that supports hydration and recovery throughout the day or intra-workout. And what better flavor than Rainbow Sour Strips?
Ghost Energy Drink
The Ghost x Sour Strips Energy collab is where most fans lose their minds — because it’s one of the best-tasting Ghost Energy flavors ever made.
What you get in each can:
200mg natural caffeine for smooth energy.
No sugar, zero fat, only 5 calories.
Alpha GPC + Neurofactor for focus.
Carnipure® L-Carnitine for energy metabolism.
Ghost Energy has always set itself apart with full transparency and premium branded ingredients in a space where most energy drinks hide behind “proprietary blends.” Pair that with one of the most nostalgic candy flavors, and you’ve got a hit.
Clear Whey Protein (NEW)
This is the real curveball in the collab: Ghost Clear Whey Protein in Rainbow Sour Strips.
What makes it different:
Clear whey isolate mixes like juice, not a heavy milkshake.
100 calories with 25g protein per scoop.
Low fat and low carb (0F, 1C) — designed to be a lean protein source.
Lighter texture & flavor — perfect for people who don’t always want a thick shake post-workout.
This move also signals Ghost’s next phase of innovation. They aren’t just sticking to collabs with pre, BCAAs, or energy. They’re expanding into new protein formats that fit the same lifestyle focus.
The Big Picture: A New Power Couple?
After the messy breakup with Sour Patch Kids and Mondelez, Ghost needed a new candy collab that could capture the same magic. Enter Sour Strips.
It’s fun.
It’s nostalgic.
It’s culturally relevant, thanks to Max Chewning and his Sour Strips brand.
This collab could be the start of a long-term partnership — one that gives Ghost even more freedom to innovate across categories with bold, candy-inspired flavors.
Powerhouse Journal Take
This collab isn’t just another flavor drop. It’s Ghost showing they’re not slowing down. By expanding Rainbow Sour Strips across multiple categories — pre, intra, energy, and protein — they’re proving once again that they know how to blend fun, nostalgia, and legit formulas.
If you’re a Ghost fan, this is a no-brainer pickup. If you’re new to the brand, this collab is the perfect entry point.
The Ghost x Rainbow Sour Strips collab officially launches Tuesday, 9/9 at 12PM CST. Don’t wait — these drops never stay on shelves long
