Coffee and Protein ~ A New, All-in-One, Healthy Beverage for the Troops

FRESNO, Calif., Oct. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the top requested items from the U.S. Troops is protein drinks and bars, a convenient way of getting sustenance for our active military. Of course, a cup of Joe has long been a popular staple for the troops. CLICKco LLC has donated over 35,000 servings of CLICK Espresso Protein Drink® to Operation Gratitude so the troops can now get their coffee and protein all in one.

Each serving of CLICK contains 15 grams of protein, a double-shot of real espresso coffee, 23 essential vitamins and minerals with a taste that's more like a gourmet, coffee-house drink rather than a typical protein shake. "I was thrilled when Greg Smith, Co-Founder of CLICKco LLC, contacted us to donate such a fabulous product," said Carolyn Blashek, founder of Operation Gratitude. "With limited space in our packages, and minimal room in the troops' living quarters, we are always looking for products that combine delicious taste with healthy nutrition. CLICK Espresso Protein Drink® is a perfect addition to the Operation Gratitude Care Packages."

CLICK by definition means to connect, make a success. "We are so honored to be making this positive connection with the troops," shares CLICKco LLC Co-founder, Greg Smith. "Combining coffee for energy and protein to stabilize blood sugar, this 1-2 combination helps to provide the essential energy and nutrition support that the troops need along with a gourmet, coffee-house taste that they can enjoy hot or cold."
