Trimino~ A delicious way to get your protein

How many of us reach for that delicious yet highly caffeinated and sugary drink for that extra boost of energy throughout the day? I know I’m guilty. And we all know it’s not good for us in the end but yet still drink them. Too much sugar can lead to weight gain down the road and the caffeine high can only last for so long.

Let’s kick those unhealthy drinks to the curb this new year and replace them with Trimino, a protein-infused, flavored water containing 7 grams of high quality whey protein and 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin B complex.

The “mino” in trimino represents the amino acids in protein, while the “tri” represents the three benefits that trimino does for your health: boosts your metabolism, curbs your appetite and naturally increases your energy level without caffeine.

This exciting new product is being launched by the Miami Bay Beverage Company and was designed by three fathers from Connecticut who all shared a common vision, to develop a beverage that is not only delicious but healthy as well.

“As dads, we were more than well aware of the over-saturation of sugar-laden cereals, snack, and beverages that were being marketed to children,” recollects Peter Dacey, CEO. “We scoured the market for a protein water that was low-calorie, sugar free, caffeine free, refreshing and delicious- and came up with nothing.”

With the official launch in Fall 2014, it is rapidly making it’s way across the country. For my Rhode Islanders and Boston based friends, it’s already here, which is exciting news! On their website you’ll be able to see which markets and convenience stores carry it.

Be on the look out for these four thirst-quenching flavors:
