Laura McQuarrie — April 23, 2026References: greenqueen.hk & solein
Solar Foods, the startup pioneering a land-independent food source using carbon dioxide captured from the air, electricity, and microbes, announced Solein Protein Drink, a new concept that brings the company's CO₂-derived protein to the fast-growing ready-to-drink protein beverage market. Solein Protein Drink debuted at the Future Food-Tech conference in San Francisco, enticing industry innovators with its very low natural sugar and carbohydrate content, as well as the potential for Solein to pair with a wide range of flavor profiles from sweet and indulgent to bright and fruity.
Packaged by the pouch, the mango-flavored Solein Protein Drink pairs Solein with mango purée, rapeseed oil, flavorings, stabilisers, sweeteners, and salt to boast 12 grams of protein, four grams of fat, two grams of fiber, and 90 calories per 250ml serving.
