Its goal is to empower health-conscious urbanites to optimize performance, beauty, and longevity with simplicity and pleasure.

Our flagship product, Indulgently Good to You Ice Cream, Parad'Ice by Protelicious stands alone in the category. Thanks to proprietary formulation and process, following 18 months of R&D, Parad'Ice is a gourmet ice cream that's actually good for you.

    Protelicious is proud to welcome Healthcare Shares as an investor and strategic partner. Their investment is more than capital—it’s a strong endorsement of our mission to redefine functional indulgence through delicious, science-backed nutrition that supports muscle, metabolic, and skin health. We’re especially proud to have this support following our first institutional investment of the year from Expert Dojo, whose growth-focused ecosystem helped us accelerate our U.S. entry. Together, these partners reflect the dual nature of our strategy: expanding through both consumer wellness and clinical credibility. As GLP-1 therapies reshape the landscape of diabetes and healthy aging, we believe that indulgent, clinically beneficial foods will play a vital role in improving outcomes, adherence, and everyday quality of life. Our partnership with Healthcare Shares marks the beginning of a new phase: building out our presence in the healthcare ecosystem and scaling with partners who believe in the power of food as a therapeutic tool. We’re grateful for the belief—and excited for what’s ahead!!

    As the founder of Protelicious, my belief has always been that the road to wellness should be paved with great-tasting food, and that indulgent foods can and should contribute to foundational health, with science-backed benefits, rather than work against it. Since the soft launch of our PARAD'ICE in July, we have witnessed a significant shift: premium retailers and better-for-you meal plan operators are acknowledging the unique approach of Protelicious. We are not just another "healthy" product; we provide the longevity-focused and GLP-1 users with a way to relish food that aids in muscle, skin, metabolism, and confidence without compromising on pleasure. Achieving the right balance of functional nutrition is key; it becomes a daily craving rather than just a supplement. A word about the fast-growing GLP-1 revolution and risks - GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are revolutionizing lives, with an estimated 23.6 million users by 2025, predominantly in the U.S. - However, overlooked by many is the fact that 25–45% of GLP-1 weight loss comprises muscle, not fat, leading to concerns like skin sagging and premature aging, and inadequate protein intake for recovery. Protelicious is proud to bridge this gap by being the first brand to support longevity-focused and GLP-1 users with indulgent, scientifically-backed nutrition, both in retail and consumer settings. Market trends we've seen since July? Crave-worthy functional foods delivering science-backed benefits are becoming essential, not just a luxury. Why does the Protelicious product line work synergistically for the longevity-focused and GLP-1 users? - Muscle Preservation: PARAD'ICE gourmet & high protein & zero added sugar ice cream balances glucose spikes, insulin, and supports bones and muscles with a "rock on" delicious experience. - Skin Integrity: Amino acids promote collagen, elasticity, and tone - Longevity & Metabolic Health: A2 whey aids gut health, insulin response, and inflammation are all supported through ESSENTIAL Gourmet Whey Protein Concentrate - Last - but definitely not least - adherence through pleasure and joy. We all want a little more of that. If you’re a wellness retailer, meal plan operator, a healthcare professional or a GLP-1 user, let’s talk. This is a movement — and we’re just getting started. #GLP1 #Ozempic #Longevity #HealthyAging #Protelicious #ParadIce #ProteinMatters #FunctionalFood #BetterForYou #WellnessBusiness #A2Whey
