The Drop: VUUM offers a line of sparkling plant protein drinks made using a proprietary weightless hydrolyzed pea protein.
VUUM’s founders, Matt Forsey and Valentino Sinacola, met during a cycling meet-up at USC. Tired of existing protein drink options, the duo created VUUM to address common complaints about these beverages, including chalky textures and dairy-heavy formulations.
After three years of extensive research and development, VUUM launched earlier this year and is currently available in three flavors: White Peach Citrus Ginger, Strawberry Tangerine, and Berries.
At the core of VUUM’s formula is a weightless hydrolyzed pea protein, with each can delivering 10g of plant-based protein. VUUM also contains zero sugar and nothing artificial.
Positioned as “Fuel for Going Somewhere,” VUUM is designed individuals with active lifestyles who need more protein than the average person. The brand’s goal is to make it easier for these consumers to get the protein they need without sacrificing taste or enjoyment.
VUUM is now available direct via the brand’s website, prices start at $36 for an 8-pack, with a 10% discount on subscriptions.
You can also find VUUM at select retailers, including Erewhon and Central Market.
