Only What You Need

OWYN is bringing a new way to look at protein drinks

by Cary Wong

OWYN, an acronym for Only What You Need, is a very unique product that stands out in the nutritional space.

“Not all plant-based (products are) created equal—most food and beverages are manufactured on shared equipment lines. For example, right before your favorite plant-based milk was produced, there very well could have been seafood bisque produced on the same line,” says Nichole Moss, OWYN’s Director of Social Media & Influencer marketing.

Unless someone is cleaning the manufacturing lines and testing the finished products to ensure there are no trace contaminants of ingredients that aren’t on the ingredient statement, you really have no idea what truly winds up in the foods and beverages that you consume.

By testing all of their ingredients before manufacturing and all of their finished products after manufacturing by two independent third parties, they ensure there is no presence of the top eight food allergies—dairy, soy, gluten/ wheat, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, or shellfish.

Their plant-based protein drinks were created to truly replace the dairy alternative. “We use a blend of pea protein, pumpkin seed protein, and flax to provide all essential amino acids in the correct ratios so that our consumers are getting a complete serving of protein,” Moss says while emphasizing that no soy is used in the drinks.

These drinks also include six grams of healthy fats and have organic kale, spinach, and broccoli to provide an extra nutrient boost. Most importantly they have great flavors without tasting like other plant-based beverages.
