VMI Sports Drops Vanilla Ice Cream Cone ProtoLyte with Real Waffle Cone Pieces
VMI Sports is expanding its ProtoLyte whey isolate lineup with a flavor that leans heavily into the “dessert protein” category: Vanilla Ice Cream Cone ProtoLyte.
And this one isn’t just a clever name.
According to the brand, the flavor includes real waffle cone pieces and rainbow sprinkles in every scoop, turning what would normally be a straightforward whey isolate into something that feels closer to a functional dessert.
But behind the inclusions, the formula still sticks to ProtoLyte’s core concept: a clean whey isolate built for digestion, hydration, and recovery.
The Macros
Each scoop delivers:
24g of 100% whey protein isolate
120 calories
2g sugar
That puts the product firmly in the lean protein isolate category, designed for athletes and lifters who want high protein with minimal fats and carbs.
Whey isolate is also one of the fastest-digesting protein sources available, making it a popular choice for post-workout recovery.
What Makes ProtoLyte Different
While most whey isolate formulas focus purely on protein, ProtoLyte adds several elements designed to support digestion and recovery.
Digestive Enzyme Blend
The formula includes enzymes to help break down protein and improve absorption. For people who struggle with bloating from protein powders, this can make a noticeable difference.
TRAACS® Electrolyte Minerals
ProtoLyte also includes TRAACS® chelated minerals, a form of electrolytes designed for improved absorption and bioavailability.
The idea is simple:
support hydration while delivering protein for muscle recovery.
Lactose-Free Formula
Because the protein source is whey isolate, the product is also lactose-free and easier to digest for many userscompared to traditional whey concentrates.
Protein with Inclusions Is Becoming a Trend
The addition of real waffle cone pieces and sprinkles reflects a growing trend in the sports nutrition space.
Consumers are increasingly looking for protein products that feel like actual treats, not just chalky shakes with artificial flavors.
Brands like VMI have leaned into this concept by adding real mix-ins like cereal pieces, cookies, and fruit inclusions to their protein powders.
The goal is simple:
deliver a protein shake that feels closer to a dessert experience while still keeping the macros tight.
The Bottom Line
Vanilla Ice Cream Cone ProtoLyte is clearly designed to appeal to lifters who want a fun flavor without sacrificing a clean whey isolate formula.
With 24g of protein, low calories, digestive enzymes, and added electrolytes, it positions itself as a recovery-focused isolate that also satisfies a sweet tooth.
And if the flavor delivers on the promise of actual ice cream cone vibes, this one could quickly become a fan favorite in the ProtoLyte lineup.
