The “Bigger In Texas” rapper is teaming up with Dunkin’ to launch a new protein milk option at the fast food chain, the company announced Wednesday, Jan. 7.
Dunkin’ Protein Refresher is described as a “bold, refreshing sip made with protein milk,” and Megan’s drink in particular has a “juicy mango flavor,” the company said.
The multiple Grammy Award winner, as “Pro Tina,” introduced the product in Dunkin’s 80s-inspired workout “Dunk and Pump” campaign.
“Teaming up with Dunkin’ to bring my new Mango Protein Refresher to life has been an exciting experience and I can’t wait for Hotties to try it,” Megan said in a press release. “Whether you drink it to enhance your fitness routine or power through a busy day, it’s the perfect drink for any occasion.”
Dunkin’ lovers can customize their drinks with protein milk, the company says.
According to a press release, Dunkin’ fans can add protein milk to any drink, from lattes to refreshments, including milk and dairy-free bases.
Drink ideas include Strawberry Protein Refresher, Almond Iced Protein Matcha Latte, Iced Protein Latte with Unsweetened Vanilla, and Caramel Chocolate Iced Protein Latte.
“We saw protein milk as a natural way to give our guests more flexibility in enjoying Dunkin’ menu items throughout the day,” Jill Nelson, the company’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement.
Beverages made with protein milk contain 15 grams of protein per medium, the company said.
Dunkin’s other new menu items
Dunkin’ is also releasing more winter menu items, including the return of sweet black pepper bacon and a $5 meal deal that comes with a wake-up wrap, hash browns and a hot or iced medium coffee.
According to the press release, other options include:
- Berry Moonlight Daydream Refresher
- cocoa cloud latte
- caramel chocolate shaken espresso
- golden chocolate donut
