"Our consumer research shows that athletes of all levels consider building lean muscle and maintaining a tone body to be central to their physical goals, and they're looking for a variety of protein sources, including ready to drink beverages to help them reach that goal," said Patrick Muldoon, CEO of Forward Foods, which owns Detour. "The Detour brand is known for providing high-performance protein and great taste, so a premium shake that also provides vitamins, minerals and healthy fats should really connect with consumers and is a great addition to the Detour product line."
