The easiest way to hit your protein goals.
Protein makes you go VUUM
Protein is an essential macronutrient that plays a vital role in muscle recovery and growth. They are composed of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle tissue.
Benefits
Clean, crisp, and fruit-forward. Feels like sparkling water. Fuels like protein. No chalkiness or aftertaste. Making it that much easier to hit your goals.
No whey. No bloat. No fillers. Formulated for easy digestion—even for sensitive stomachs. Protein that supports your body without weighing you down.
Protein that’s clear. Not thick. Fast-to-absorb amino acid-rich pea protein supports lean muscle, recovery, and movement without the bulk.
Sparkling, crisp, and refreshing. Protein without the weight. No heaviness. No discomfort. Light enough to sip. Strong enough to count.
What Your Body Needs
Made Better by Plants
Traditional protein shakes and powders weigh you down. VUUM doesn’t. VUUM uses non-GMO pea protein to deliver functional protein, clinically shown to match whey in muscle recovery¹, without the bloat, gas, or gut disruption common in dairy-based or filler-heavy formulas.
“Every other protein drink made me feel heavy or sick. VUUM is the first one that feels as clean as it tastes. Light, effective, and zero bloat.”—ALEX S., Cycling Instructor & Nutrition Coach
With no dairy or lactose, no sugar or sucralose, and nothing artificial, it’s easier to digest, easier to absorb, and easier to hit your protein goals. Plant protein also uses up to 90% less water than whey², making it more sustainable.
Muscle Recovery
Exercise doesn’t just build strength. First, it breaks the body down. Physical activity creates microtears in muscle fibers, triggering a repair response. This process improves performance but only if your body has the tools to rebuild.
Protein provides the amino acids needed to restore muscle tissue, regulate enzymes, and maintain overall muscle integrity³. Consuming protein around exercise accelerates recovery, supports lean mass retention, and improves next-day performance⁴. This process is called Muscle Protein Synthesis or MPS.
Each can of VUUM delivers light, clear, easily absorbed plant protein. Formulated to fuel recovery without bloating, heaviness, or gut disruption. Whether you're lifting, cycling, or just moving through a busy day, protein timing and quality matter.

Clean + Natural Energy
Caffeine + Theanine = Cognitive Benefits
Not all energy is created equal. VUUM uses plant-based caffeine brewed from green tea paired with L-theanine, a naturally calming amino acid found in tea leaves, to deliver focused energy without the crash.
Caffeine blocks adenosine (the “tired” signal) and increases dopamine and norepinephrine for alertness⁵. But caffeine alone can overstimulate. L-theanine modulates brain activity, promoting alpha-wave production⁶, a state linked to calm focus and mental clarity.
Studies show caffeine + theanine combinations, like that found in VUUM, improves attention, reaction time, and accuracy without jitters⁷. VUUM’s ingredients offer sustained energy that feels grounded.
A Balancing Act
Caffeine powers you up. Theanine keeps you centered. L-theanine, found in green tea, works synergistically with caffeine for balanced, focused energy.
It easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, mimicking GABA (a calming neurotransmitter) and helping regulate cortisol.
By dampening overstimulation, L-theanine helps reduce anxiety, lower heart rate, and promote a state of relaxed clarity⁸. This is what flow feels like: energized and focused, without the edge.
Crash-Free Energy
VUUM uses natural caffeine from brewed green tea. The catechins in green tea support a gradual release of caffeine. This gives you alertness without hyperactivity, avoiding spikes and crashes. Unlike other energy drinks, VUUM delivers natural caffeine and real nutrition from protein. Fueling your body, not faking it.
