Danone Introduces a New Flavor of Oikos Protein Yogurt
Danone Japan, headquartered in Meguro, Tokyo, has just announced the launch of a new limited edition flavor from its Oikos brand: the
Danone Oikos Protein Yogurt with High Absorption Protein in Vanilla and Pineapple. This product will be available in convenience stores starting on
September 22, 2025, and will hit supermarkets nationwide from
September 29, 2025. With a history of releasing seasonal flavors every three months, this introduction marks the start of a new semi-annual limited series.
The yogurt combines a rich and refined vanilla taste enhanced by two types of pineapple juice, offering a depth of flavor that balances the creaminess of vanilla with the exotic vibrancy of tropical fruit. The blended mixture ensures that the delicious taste remains consistent from the first bite to the last.
This protein yogurt is formulated with
10.1 grams of high absorption protein per 113g cup, making it a creamy and dense yogurt that supports effective muscle synthesis and overall nutrient utilization. Importantly, it is also completely fat-free, has a low glycemic index (GI), and contains only
86 calories per cup, allowing consumers to enjoy quality protein without worrying about fat, sugars, or calories.
A Package That Inspires
To visually represent its commitment to active lifestyles, the packaging for this yogurt features a barbell on the lid and dumbbell motifs on the label. This design aims to resonate with individuals who are dedicated to their daily training routines, injecting a sense of strength and warmth through its appearance. Danone hopes that this product will encourage everyone engaged in sports or training to easily integrate delicious protein into their daily diet.
Understanding High Absorption Protein
High absorption protein isn't just about quantity; it's about
quality, specifically how efficiently the body can absorb and utilize the protein consumed. The term refers to proteins that have a high absorption rate in the body, indicated by a measure known as
DIAAS (Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score). The DIAAS for the protein used in Danone Oikos is comparable to that of boiled chicken breast, highlighting its superior quality. After consumption, the protein is digested and converted into amino acids, which then enter the bloodstream for utilization throughout the body.
