Protein Milk is now available at Dunkin’, giving guests a simple way to add protein to the drinks they already love.

To mark the launch, Dunkin’ teamed up with three-time GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar Megan Thee Stallion to bring protein to the spotlight with Dunkin’ Protein Refreshers – bold, refreshing sips made with Protein Milk. The new drinks are featured in Dunkin’s latest ad campaign, “Dunk N’ Pump,” introducing Megan as “Pro-Tina,” a playful take on her iconic alter ego. In the spot, she leads a high-energy jazzercise-inspired workout fueled by Dunkin’ Protein Refreshers and set to an original track created by Megan exclusively for Dunkin’.

Protein Milk, Made for Everyday Orders

Dunkin’s new Protein Milk delivers a creamy, familiar taste without a chalky texture or aftertaste. Guests can add Protein Milk to beverages that allow for a milk or non-dairy base, including coffees, lattes, matcha and Refreshers, making it easy to customize any order with added protein.

Each of the following beverages is made with Protein Milk and delivers 15 grams of protein* for a medium:

• Megan’s Mango Protein Refresher: Juicy mango flavor mixed with Protein Milk for a bright, tropical sip, created in collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion.
• Strawberry Protein Refresher: A creamy take on the fan-favorite Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher.
• Caramel Chocolate Iced Protein Latte: Bold espresso paired with rich chocolate and sweet caramel flavors and Protein Milk for a smooth, creamy sip.
• Almond Iced Protein Matcha Latte: A creamy iced matcha latte made with Protein Milk and nutty toasted almond flavor, whipped to perfection.
• Iced Protein Latte with Sugar-Free Vanilla: Bold espresso paired with Protein Milk and Dunkin’s first-ever Sugar-Free Vanilla syrup, offering a lighter, customizable option.

“Teaming up with Dunkin’ to bring my new Mango Protein Refresher to life has been such an exciting experience and I can’t wait for the Hotties to try it,” said Megan Thee Stallion. “Whether you’re drinking it to boost your fitness routine or just to power through a busy day, it’s the perfect drink for any occasion.”

“We saw protein milk as a natural way to give our guests more flexibility in how they enjoy the Dunkin’ menu throughout the day,” said Jill Nelson, chief marketing officer at Dunkin’. “Protein Milk tastes great across coffee, lattes and refreshers without changing the flavors guests already love, and we’re excited to support the launch in unexpected ways.”

Protein Beyond the Menu

To celebrate the launch of Protein Milk, Dunkin’ is extending the campaign beyond the menu with a series of limited-edition merchandise drops and partnerships:

• Dunk N’ Pump Collection: A retro-inspired workout apparel collection tied to the campaign, available today at 10 a.m. EST exclusively at DunkinRunsOnMerch.com.

More New Sips and Bites for the Season

In addition to Protein Milk and the new protein-forward lineup, Dunkin’ is rolling out a variety of new drinks and food items as part of its winter menu refresh.

New menu items include:
