Medford, OR, Dec. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Human Bean is powering up 2026 with a trio of drinks designed for how you want to live this year — whether it’s chasing that post-workout protein hit, needing clean energy to get past the 2pm slump, or just wanting something that tastes like a decadence in a cup.
Sweet Victory Bright® Energy is for the clean caffeine crowd. Sugar-Free Bright Energy is elevated with Sugar-Free Watermelon and Coconut flavors. It's sparkling, it's refreshing, and it’s perfect for those who want sustained energy without the jittery aftermath — or the guilt.
Protein Power Brew is the wellness enthusiast’s dream. Thirty-two grams of protein in a cold brew? Yes, actually. This isn't some plain protein shake — it's creamy, caffeinated, and doubles as a post-gym reward and mid-morning pick-me-up. Fuel for the body and goals, all in one sip!
Salted Gold Whole Milk Latte is giving cozy, indulgent energy this winter. Topped with real Heath® toffee crumbles, this whole milk latte with Sea Salt Caramel and English Toffee flavors makes for a rich, sweet treat that takes “pick-me-up” to delicious new levels.
"Our customers aren't one-dimensional, and these New Year drinks aren’t either," says Claire Mealy, Senior Manager of Innovation at The Human Bean. "These releases are all about meeting customers where they are in 2026 — their goals, their mood, and their fuel for the day. They’re all highly customizable, which means ice, heat, protein, sugar-forward or sugar-free are all on the table."
