In: Imbibe Updates

You may remember the debut of ReBar, our custom beverage development bar, at the end of last year. To the left, you can get a closer look at some of the ingredients that our R&D team uses when building beverages. Functional benefits associated with these ingredients vary greatly, but some of the most well-known benefits are muscle repair (protein), omega-3s (chia, flax), fiber and calcium (teff), and antioxidants (matcha).

Below are just a few of our custom beverage flavors – lime, caramel, chocolate, and raspberry. With our product developers and flavor chemists working together, they’re able to create on-trend beverages that taste great.
