Protein Pints' Rapid & Explosive Growth Disrupts Ice Cream Expectations Nationwide
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Protein Pints, the innovative protein-packed ice cream brand, is rapidly disrupting the frozen dessert aisle with a unique offering that resonates strongly with today's health-conscious consumers. The brand is experiencing explosive growth fueled by exceptional sales velocities, surpassing many established ice cream brands, and overwhelmingly positive consumer feedback on its delicious, guilt-free indulgence. This surge in popularity underscores a significant consumer shift towards high-protein, health-forward alternatives in traditionally indulgent categories. Fueling this momentum, Protein Pints is in the midst of unprecedented massive national retail expansion. During this month the brand has launched all five of its delicious varieties in Target stores nationwide as well as a rollout into all Albertsons/Safeway stores across the country. Further underscoring its rapid traction, Protein Pints is expanding into all Sprouts Farmers Market locations in the country, building on a successful test at select Sprouts stores earlier this year. This aggressive retail strategy follows the brand's successful launch into all Kroger family of stores in March and key regional grocery store rollouts in April, including Woodman's Markets, Fresh Thyme Market, and H-E-B. As a result of this remarkable growth trajectory, Protein Pints' availability will skyrocket from a modest 14 stores solely in Michigan in 2024 to approximately 8,000 stores nationwide by the end of this month. Founded just two years ago by young entrepreneurs Paul Reiss and Michael Meadows, at the age of just 21 years old, Protein Pints has quickly captured the attention of retailers and consumers alike with its innovative approach to ice cream. "The consumer response to Protein Pints has been nothing short of phenomenal," said Michael Meadows, co-founder and CEO of Protein Pints. "Our velocities are exceeding expectations, demonstrating a clear demand for a protein-packed ice cream that doesn't compromise on taste. Our nationwide expansion into leading retailers in just a few short months validates consumer demand for Protein Pints, positioning our brand as a clear category disruptor in the $14B frozen dessert market." Protein Pints demonstrates the power of a product that meets evolving consumer needs for both indulgence and wellness. The brand's commitment to using only natural ingredients ensures extraordinary taste, while its significant protein and lower sugar content clearly resonate with a broad audience. This positive reception is paving the way for continued growth and innovation in the frozen food space. Available in 5 taste-forward flavors, Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Chip, Chocolate, Mint Chip & Strawberry, Protein Pints has something for everyone. All flavors are packed with 30 grams of protein per pint, made with natural ingredients and 85% less sugar than traditional ice cream. About Protein Pints: Protein Pints is a rapidly growing brand of protein ice cream, founded by two childhood friends during their recent college years, on a mission to help people enjoy their protein in one of America's favorite treats. With a focus on natural ingredients and innovative recipes, Protein Pints is redefining what it means to enjoy functional ice cream, offering a guilt-free indulgence that tastes amazing and supports consumers' nutritional goals.

The Best High-Protein Ice Cream, According to Dietitians
Crushing an entire pint of traditional ice cream…well, it happens. And often, it's glorious. Thing is, this kind of indulgence will cost you a lot of calories, fat, and added sugar—and only net you about 15 grams of protein. For some, only regular ice cream will do. In this case, portion control is needed. But for those times when you simply must go whole hog into a whole pint, here are a few better-for-you options to choose from if you prefer to hit up the freezer more Info (per 2/3 cup): Calories: 140; Total Fat: 8g; Saturated Fat: 5; Protein: 10g; Total Carbohydrates: 17g; Fiber: 1g; Total Sugars: 5g (with 3g added sugars); Sodium: 120mg This protein-packed pint gives major peanut butter cup sundae vibes with an ample dose of protein from a combo of milk and whey protein isolate. The entire pint has less than 420 calories and 30 grams of protein. This means it's satisfying from both the protein and the rich peanut butter taste—and you're justified in digging all the way in. Nutrition Info (per 1 bar): Calories: 100; Total Fat: 2g; Saturated Fat: 1.5g; Protein: 5g; Total Carbohydrates: 16g; Fiber:0 g; Total Sugars: 13g (with 9g added sugars); Sodium: 50mg Coffee lovers, these Yasso bars are for you. 'They are pure portion-controlled pleasure with the dreamy flavor of an iced mocha,' says Serena Ball, M.S., R.D., author of The Smart Mediterranean Diet Cookbook. Since these bars are made from Greek yogurt, you get the advantage of some live active cultures for gut health. Nutrition Info (per 2/3 cup): Calories: 130; Total Fat: 5g; Saturated Fat: 2.5g; Protein: 7g; Total Carbohydrates: 21g; Fiber: 4g; Total Sugars: 9g (with 5g added sugars); Sodium: 80mg You may recognize this brand from your local Target store. It has amazing texture and plenty of s'mores chunks. It's also low in calories yet bursting with protein from skim milk and milk protein concentrate. If s'mores aren't your thing, the ice cream is also available in flavors like Mocha Cold Brew Coffee and Cookie Dough. All have less than 400 calories per pint. Nutrition Info (per 1 bar) Calories: 80; Total Fat: 0g; Saturated Fat: 0g; Protein: 5g; Total Carbohydrates: 15g; Fiber: 1g; Total Sugars: 12g (with 8g added sugars); Sodium: 55mg 'My favorite high protein dessert are Yasso Greek yogurt bars,' says registered dietitian and chef Jess Swift Harrell, R.D.N., I.F.N.C.P. 'The chocolate fudge flavor is my go-to —sweet, satisfying, and offering some extra protein.' This additional scream for Yasso is bolstered by the fact that 'with 5 grams of protein per bar (that's nearly an egg's worth!), I feel like I'm indulging and doing my body a favor,' says Harrell. If what's on store shelves just isn't doing it for you, how about sharpening your DIY ice cream skills? Consider investing in an ice cream maker such as The Ninja Creami so you can customize the protein and control the ingredients. For a high protein ice cream base, blend up a mixture of ultra-filtered milk, flavored protein powder, sweetener of choice, and for optimal texture, a few tablespoons of instant pudding mix. You can also use ready-to-drink protein shakes or prepared Greek yogurt in an ice cream machine for the simplest of frozen, high protein desserts. For some protein boosted mix-ins consider adding nuts, peanut butter powder, or protein granola. Higher protein ingredients like protein powder, ultra-filtered milk, and Greek yogurt can be used to make frozen desserts that can crush a sugar craving while keeping macro targets in check. Some brands use added sugars but keep the amounts low by also including stevia, monk fruit, or sugar alcohols. A standard serving of ice cream (including protein-boosted versions) is two-thirds a cup. Since eating the entire container isn't completely out of the question, many brands offer nutrition facts for both 2/3 cup and the entire pint.
