Strawberry vs. chocolate protein: what makes Tronk's flavor more expensive?
At Tronk we rely on natural and organic ingredients, without artificial additives or industrial shortcuts. This means that the flavour of each milkshake is not achieved with magic powders, but with real raw materials. Our chocolate shake tastes like that because it contains real cocoa. Our strawberry flavoured protein tastes like strawberry because it has real fruit in it. And that sometimes shows in the price.
That's why today we want to tell you why our strawberry shake costs a little more than the chocolate one.
Same percentage of protein to build muscle
Both the strawberry and chocolate shakes share exactly the same base: a balanced combination of organic pea and rice vegetable proteins, selected for their complete nutritional profile and high digestibility. Both offer the same level of quality, the same amount of protein ( 79% ), and follow the same purity and processing standards that we apply to the entire Tronk range .
The only real difference between the two is in one very specific but important detail: the natural flavouring ingredient.
Strawberry: natural, tasty… and expensive
To achieve a strawberry flavor that is natural and pleasant, without adding synthetic flavorings or sweeteners, we use organic strawberry extract and extra sweetness with organic beetroot.
Fruits are considerably more expensive than the pure cocoa we use for chocolate flavoring. In fact, natural strawberries can cost up to five times more than powdered cocoa. 
Why don't we use "laboratory" strawberry flavouring?
We could cut costs by using a synthetic scent, as many brands do. But then it wouldn't be Tronk. Our commitment is to offer shakes that are clean, natural, and free of artificial ingredients .
That's why we prefer to pay more for a real ingredient, even if it means that the final price of our strawberry-flavoured protein goes up a little.
Chocolate: tasty and more affordable
The organic cocoa we use is a noble ingredient, with no additives or added sugars, which provides an intense and authentic flavour. In addition to being natural and very well accepted by almost any palate, it has a great advantage over other flavouring ingredients: its cost is relatively low.
Thanks to this, the chocolate shake can maintain a more affordable price without sacrificing quality or straying from our philosophy of naturalness and transparency.
Pay a little more for something much better
When you choose Tronk Strawberry Shake , you're not just choosing a flavor: you're opting for a different way of doing things. You're choosing a product with real flavor, made from natural ingredients , with no shortcuts, no synthetic flavorings, and no artificial additives masquerading as flavor. It's a decision that prioritizes transparency and honesty over cheap marketing.
And yes, that comes at a cost—because working with real fruit always does—but it also has a value that goes far beyond price: the value of knowing exactly what you're taking.
