Beyond Meat® Launches Beyond Immerse™ Protein + Energy, a Sparkling Protein Drink with Caffeine

Company also adds three new flavors to Beyond Immerse lineup, expanding the range to six flavors

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), also known as Beyond the Plant Protein Company™, today announced its entry into the energy category with Beyond Immerse Protein + Energy, a sparkling protein drink that brings together plant protein, fiber, antioxidants, electrolytes, and caffeine from coffee beans and guarana extract. Available in Cherry Berry and Watermelon Strawberry, Beyond Immerse Protein + Energy is launching exclusively at www.BeyondPlantProtein.com.

The company is also adding three new flavors to its Beyond Immerse lineup: Watermelon Strawberry, available now, and Limoncello Ginger and Yuzu Grapefruit, coming soon. The new flavors join Peach Mango, Strawberry Lemonade, and Cherry Berry, expanding the Beyond Immerse range to six flavors. Together, the beverages bring the superpowers of plants to more moments in the day: Beyond Immerse for when consumers want plant protein, fiber, antioxidants, and electrolytes in one refreshing can, and Beyond Immerse Protein + Energy for that same nutrition with caffeine.

“We believe plants have superpowers, and few are as widely appreciated by consumers as caffeine,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO of Beyond Meat. “As we add energy to the Beyond Immerse portfolio, we are staying true to our approach: great taste and carefully selected, limited ingredients that help consumers thrive.”

Beyond Immerse and Beyond Immerse Protein + Energy feature:

• Excellent source of protein with 20g per serving, critical to support muscle health
• Good source of fiber with 5g per serving, vital to support a healthy gut
• Excellent source of antioxidant Vitamin A from Beta-Carotene, essential to support immune function
• Made with electrolytes
• No GMOs
• No dairy
  
  

Beyond Immerse Protein + Energy also delivers 160mg of caffeine per serving.

The expansion follows the retail introduction of Beyond Immerse in the New York metropolitan area through Big Geyser and its recent launch at Erewhon locations across Southern California.
