Proda has launched Golden Apple, a seasonal protein soda flavor available now at Sprouts Farmers Market and on Amazon in 12-packs, as well as online at drinkproda.com. The new flavor delivers the brand's standard 10g of complete protein, 3g of fiber, zero sugar, and zero GMOs per 12 oz can. Golden Apple pairs the bright, juicy flavor of golden apple with a subtly sweet finish and real carbonation.
Positioning and Availability The Golden Apple launch adds to Proda's existing lineup of nostalgic soda flavors, which includes Shirley Temple, Classic Orange, Cherry Lime, Strawberry Lemonade, Lemon Lime, and Root Beer. The brand is exclusively stocked in brick-and-mortar retail at Sprouts Farmers Market nationwide, alongside online distribution through its website and Amazon. Proda was founded by Jeff Church, co-founder and former CEO of Suja Juice, and Matthew Postlethwaite, an actor and wellness entrepreneur. The brand positions itself as a carbonated alternative to traditional protein beverages.
Why It Matters
The protein soda category continues to attract new entrants as mainstream retailers expand functional beverage shelving. Proda's exclusive retail partnerships and direct-to-consumer channels reflect the competitive landscape for emerging beverage brands seeking scale without broad mass distribution.
