Protein continues to shape how consumers define healthy eating, but recent research from the International Food Information Council shows many shoppers are still unsure what makes a protein "high quality." While science points to factors like essential amino acids and digestibility, consumers are more focused on benefits they can understand—taste, health and how a product helps fuel their day.

Dairy proteins deliver complete nutrition, high-quality amino acids and proven functionality, while also meeting consumer expectations for great taste and everyday wellness. From cheese to whey protein ingredients, dairy offers a powerful foundation for products designed to support energy, activity, satiety and overall health.

At Hilmar, we believe the future of protein innovation lies in helping brands translate dairy's nutritional advantages into clear, meaningful consumer benefits.

👉 Developing the next generation of protein-rich foods and beverages? Let's work together to create products that help consumers understand—and experience—the value of dairy protein.

As protein expectations rise, consumers are gravitating toward products that offer 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.

The latest product innovation trends show that 𝟰𝟮% 𝗼𝗳 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵/𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟱𝗴+ 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, up from just 28% five years ago.*

Call it "protein maxxing" or simply evolving consumer expectations, but one thing is clear: brands are raising the bar on protein delivery. For developers, that means finding ingredient solutions that help achieve higher protein targets while maintaining taste, texture and overall product appeal.

Is your next innovation keeping pace with the protein powerhouse movement? Let's talk about how Hilmar whey proteins can help you deliver more.

Hydrolyzed proteins offer powerful positioning but often come with formulation trade-offs.

Hilmar’s PROtelyze™ for Powder changes that equation.

A low-degree hydrolyzed WPI designed to deliver clean flavor, excellent dispersibility and the ability to support hydrolysate claims in RTM powders.

Because performance and positioning should work together.

Giving back feels good—and our Hilmar IT team showed up in a big way!

Living our purpose of Improving Lives Together, our team recently volunteered with Turlock Gospel Mission, rolling up their sleeves to support their facility and programs. From pulling weeds and trimming bushes to organizing the clothing pantry and helping prepare meals in the kitchen, they tackled it all with heart.

They also took time to tour the mission and learn more about the incredible programs and services Turlock Gospel Mission provides to those in need right here in our community—a powerful reminder of why this work matters.

Proud of this team for making a real difference where it matters most.
