EVOLVE® Plant-Based Protein Renews Partnership with National Park Foundation and Offers an Epic Park Adventure

CHICAGO, April 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- EVOLVE plant-based protein has reformulated its portfolio of ready-to-drink protein shakes and announced its continued commitment to the #nationalparkfoundation (NPF). EVOLVE aims to connect people to the outdoors through access and inspiration, and this #partnership helps bring shared missions to life in service of helping to protect the outdoors for everyone.

In celebration of National Park Week, EVOLVE today launched a sweepstakes* that gives back to the #nationalparkfoundation and encourages explorers to discover their own personal connections to the outdoors. One lucky entrant could win $10,000 to take a national park adventure of their choosing.

EVOLVE has been reformulated and rebranded to make plant-based protein more approachable and easier to integrate into everyday active lifestyles. The brand has a new look with packaging that visually brings the brand's commitment to the National Park Foundation to life, matching delicious flavor with purpose and evoking the outdoors with every bottle. Each design pays homage to parks across the country, and the sense of wonder that they inspire.

"Over the past year, Americans have experienced a renewed appreciation for spending time outside, and we know that those with active lifestyles are increasingly looking for ways to make incrementally healthier choices that are also more sustainable," said Anuj Bhasin, Vice President of Protein & Fitness Brands at #pepsico, the parent company of EVOLVE. "By relaunching EVOLVE as an active-focused brand, we are offering delicious plant-based protein for those who are energized by staying active and getting outdoors."
