What to watch

  • Same-store sales mix and repeat-purchase rates for protein shakes after the launch period.
  • Whether the products are rolled out chain-wide or remain concentrated in metro and premium catchments.
  • Evidence of new flavors, menu permanence, combo placement or loyalty incentives.
  • Competitive launches from café chains, dairy brands, QSR players and direct-to-consumer nutrition brands.
  • Consumer response to protein claims, taste, calorie content and price per gram of protein.
  • MuscleBlaze distribution expansion into ready-to-drink, convenience and modern-trade channels.
  • Launch co-branded limited-edition flavors and seasonal variants to sustain novelty.
  • Bundle shakes with Keventers desserts or breakfast products while offering a high-protein meal-combo option.
  • Use QR-led sampling, loyalty rewards and gym/influencer activations to convert first-time buyers into repeat customers.
  • Expand into ready-to-drink retail packs, delivery platforms and corporate or college channels if in-store velocity is proven.
  • Test price ladders across 15g, 20g and 30g protein offerings to broaden addressable demand.
