Young start up CocoPro, who produce the world’s first high protein pure coconut water, has announced a pivotal new listing with Waitrose. The listing will ensure that both mouth-watering flavours – Coconut and Coconut & Pineapple – are available nationwide for the first time in 230 stores from the end of this month. Sampling, in-store and digital activations are planned to drive sell-through.
On Waitrose shelves from the 29th August, CocoPro is made with 100% natural ingredients, contains no added sugar and is sweetened with Stevia. An equivalent serving of CocoPro contains almost half the sugar of regular coconut water. Perfect for health conscious consumers, the RTD is fat and cholesterol free and has 20g of protein per 330ml serving. At just 135.3 calories, it is packed with electrolytes for optimal hydration and recovery all in one.
Rory Lawson, ex Scotland international rugby player and Founding Partner at CocoPro, says: “We’re delighted to be working with Waitrose. Their demographic aligns to that of CocoPro, and this new listing will help us get further towards our goal of making protein more accessible to those who like to lead an active lifestyle. With a blend of pure coconut water and whey protein isolate, it fills the current white space between fruit waters and protein drinks. We have more exciting plans ahead, with new flavour innovations and further listings to grow the brand even further.”
Already popular in a number of high-street stores and fitness centres, including Holland & Barrett, Gym Box, Ocado and Wholefoods, CocoPro has experienced an incredible rate of sale, since its launch earlier in 2016.
