We are excited to bring the delicious, natural flavors of Chiquita to these innovative products, offering consumers a new way to enjoy the taste of our bananas and pineapples.”
Applied Nutrition plans to expand the assortment globally, introducing the Chiquita licensed line to food retailers, mass merchant chains and e-commerce sites worldwide, ensuring consumers everywhere can enjoy the new collaboration.

We are privileged to start a global project with Chiquita Brands. Chiquita’s dedication to quality, taste and nutrition in fresh fruit aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering premium sports nutrition products.”
The product lineup includes Banana-Chocolate Whey Protein, Banana-Peanut Butter Whey Protein, Pineapple-Strawberry Non-Stimulant Workout Powder, Pineapple-Strawberry Pre-Workout Powder and Pineapple-Strawberry Hydration Powder.
