Beyond Meat has expanded its recently launched range of functional beverages, Beyond Immerse, with the addition of four new flavours.

The brand, known for its range of hyper-realistic plant-based meat alternative products, announced its entry into the beverage market in January this year.

The sparkling Beyond Immerse drinks are made from pea protein and fibre from tapioca, available in both 10g protein and 20g protein options. They also contain electrolytes for hydration and vitamin C for immune support.

Building on the momentum of the initial roll-out, Beyond has today (26 February 2026) announced the addition of Cherry Berry, Strawberry Lemonade, Piña Colada and Cucumber Grapefruit flavours to the line. These join the previously announced Peach Mango, Lemon Lime and Orange Tangerine varieties.

The new flavours are available for a limited time, exclusively via Beyond Meat’s online Beyond Test Kitchen platform.

Ethan Brown, founder and CEO of Beyond Meat, commented on the launch: “Beyond Immerse represents a meaningful next chapter for our brand as we expand beyond centre-of-the-plate protein. We challenged ourselves to redefine the protein drink, designing a beverage that immerses the body not only in protein but more broadly in the remarkable power of plants.”

He added: “We can’t wait for consumers to experience the new flavours for themselves.”
