Core Power

Core Power is fairlife's line of high-protein milk shakes, built for post-workout recovery. fairlife is owned by The Coca-Cola Company, which helps explain why Core Power shows up in so many coolers.

The whole brand rests on one idea: filtered milk as the protein source. Core Power starts with fairlife's filtered milk instead of a powder base, so the shake drinks like a cold, creamy milk drink rather than a mixed scoop. The original shake delivers 26g of protein per bottle. The Elite line pushes protein higher for people who want more per serving. Core Power is a protein play first, and it doesn't pretend to be an energy drink.

The Formula Approach

The Vanilla label shows the pattern. It packs 26g of protein into 170 calories, with 5g of total sugars and 0g added sugars. Calcium comes in at 50% DV and potassium at 15% DV, both from the milk base. Sweetness comes from monk fruit and stevia, backed by a couple of other high-intensity sweeteners. These numbers are from the Vanilla bottle, and other flavors may vary slightly.

Core Power also leans on an electrolyte message, positioning the shakes as recovery drinks for muscle repair and rehydration. That's standard sports nutrition language, and the milk base keeps the ingredient list short and familiar.

Where It Fits

Core Power sits at the crossover of sports nutrition and the grab-and-go cooler. It's a ready-to-drink protein shake you'll find in gyms, convenience stores, and grocery coolers, and the brand has raised its profile as the Official Protein Shake of the FIFA World Cup. More Core Power and fairlife products will land on this page over time.

If you want protein you can drink straight from the fridge with no shaker bottle, Core Power is one of the most widely available options in the category.
