FAQs

Each VUUR pouch delivers 220 calories, 18 grams of protein, and 25 grams of carbohydrates, designed as a powerful supplement to a teen athlete’s daily nutrition. It’s meant to serve as a supplemental option, not a replacement for whole food meals. We recommend 1 VUUR pouch a day to help build a strong foundation to support the elevated fueling needs of growing, active teens.

VUUR shakes provide 18 grams of high-quality protein from a unique protein source profile: lactose-free nonfat milk, egg whites and organic oat milk. By using these real food sources, the protein retains a full spectrum of nutrients. While each VUUR serving is an excellent source of protein, it’s far more than just a protein shake.

Physician formulated specifically for teenage athletes, VUUR shakes support both everyday performance and healthy growth. It’s designed as a convenient, nutrient-dense addition to a whole food diet, not a replacement.

Each serving provides a balanced nutrition profile—everything teen athletes need, and nothing they don’t—based on the latest consensus from leading medical organizations.

Each VUUR shake delivers 18 grams of high-quality, real food protein—formulated to support the unique growth and performance needs of teenage athletes. According to the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Youth Sports Health and Safety Institute, teens have higher protein requirements than adults due to their simultaneous demands for athletic performance and physical development.

Consensus guidance recommends 0.6 to 0.8 grams of protein
per pound of body weight per day.

• A 125-pound athlete needs approximately 79–96 grams
  daily
• A 150-pound athlete needs approximately 95–116 grams
  daily

To maximize absorption and effectiveness, protein should be
spread throughout the day in 15–30 gram servings every few hours. That’s why VUUR beverages are a convenient and powerful way to get real food protein—anytime your day demands it.

VUUR nutritional shakes provide protein primarily from lactose-free nonfat milk and egg whites, both real food sources that provide all essential amino acids. Organic oat milk also contributes some protein to
our shakes.

We intentionally chose real food proteins over concentrates or isolates, which are stripped of beneficial nutrients during processing. By using real ingredients, we preserve important micronutrients and natural enzymes that support a more complete nutritional profile and aid digestion.

Active teenagers juggle school, sports, and life on the move, so we designed VUUR to fit seamlessly into their day. It’s a convenient way to supplement the traditional three meals, filling nutritional gaps anytime, anywhere. Our single-serving packets are easy to toss into backpacks or gear bags and mix with cold water (or milk or milk-alternative).

Enjoy it as a mid-morning snack, a pre-practice boost, or a post-game recovery. But timing isn’t everything—consistency is key. VUUR nutritional shakes are meant to be part of a daily nutrition routine, helping teen athletes build a strong foundation for growth, performance, and recovery.

Just like daily practice prepares you to show up with confidence on game day, VUUR helps you fuel consistently so you’re not just ready, you’re VUUR Ready.

It depends on individual goals and activity levels, but we recommend 1 pouch per day for most active teenagers. Whether used to bridge gaps between meals, support recovery, or fuel extra training, VUUR nutritional shakes help teen athletes meet their nutritional needs with real food, real convenience, and real impact.

Each pre-portioned VUUR packet is designed to taste great when mixed with 8 oz of cold water—perfect for fueling on the go. It also blends well with milk, dairy alternatives, or into smoothies for added flavor and nutrition.

Feel free to experiment and find what works best for your taste preferences and fueling goals. Whether you’re at school, at practice, or at home, VUUR shakes are flexible enough to fit your routine.

VUUR shakes are best blended using a shaker bottle or a handheld electric blender. Because we’re committed to offering the cleanest product possible, we don’t use gums and include only minimal, natural emulsifiers. As a result, our powders need thorough blending to achieve a smooth, consistent texture. Stirring with a spoon won’t fully break up the powder or deliver a clump free shake.

No! VUUR products are not designed for weight loss. They’re formulated to help physically active teenagers meet the elevated nutritional and caloric demands that come with high levels of physical activity and growth.

VUUR’s goal is to support healthy growth and development, while fueling everyday athletic performance—not to restrict or reduce intake.

VUUR nutritional shakes come in pre-portioned pouches to deliver maximum convenience. The pouch format makes it easy to throw into your backpack, gym bag, or even a pocket so that you have it ready whenever you choose throughout the day. From our own experience, we know how busy life can be and how just getting out the door on time can be a challenge. With the pouch, there’s no measuring or transferring to a temporary container—just grab and go.

It also makes it easier to maintain your nutrition schedule when away from home. Traveling for tournaments or attending a camp? Just throw the pouches you need into your suitcase so your nutrition routine stays on track.

Yes. VUUR nutritional shakes are lactose free. We use lactose-free dry milk and oat milk powder in our beverage products.

No. VUUR nutritional shakes contain egg whites.

VUUR is suitable for most vegetarians but not for vegans, due to the inclusion of milk and egg whites.

One serving of our chocolate flavor contains 13 grams of total sugar and 4 grams of added sugar. One serving of our vanilla flavor contains 14 grams of total sugar and 5 grams of added sugar. All of the added sugar comes from our use of Organic Oat Milk powder. During oat milk production, the natural starches in oats are broken down into sugars—similar to how the body digests starch.

According to FDA guidance, sugars created during processing must be labeled as “added sugar,” even when they originate from real food sources. We never use artificial sweeteners.

VUUR is gluten-free but is produced in a shared facility that may process gluten-containing ingredients. 

This product does not contain nuts. However, they are manufactured in a facility that may also process nuts.

Every VUUR production run is tested by accredited labs for heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead) to ensure compliance with current FDA guidelines for people 18 and under.

Yes. VUUR products are formulated for teen athletes competing at the highest levels. We use ingredients that are commonly available
and eligible for use in athletic competition.

Proposition 65 (Prop 65) is a California law requiring businesses to notify consumers if their products contain even trace amounts of over 900 naturally occurring or synthetic chemicals. The thresholds to trigger these warnings are set at extremely low levels—often far below federal safety standards—to help California consumers make informed choices.

At VUUR, safety and transparency are fundamental. Every single batch of VUUR Foundational Fuel is tested by an independent, accredited laboratory for heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead), and we are always happy to share our lab results.

Our products comfortably fall below Prop 65 thresholds for Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury. For Lead, California’s strict warning threshold is set at 0.5 mcg/day (a level 1,000 times lower than doses shown to cause any harm). VUUR products average approximately 1 mcg/day. While this requires us to
carry the standard California warning label, this trace level is entirely consistent with ordinary everyday meals, and sits well below the FDA’s strict daily dietary intake guidance for children and adolescents (2.2 mcg/day).

At the moment we don’t provide individual samples via our online store. The best way to try our products is at our in-person activations—like tournaments, sports camps, and training facilities—where we provide free samples and product demos.

If you aren’t able to try a sample in-person, you can still order with confidence thanks to our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. More details
