It may not be as prominent here in the American market, obviously, since it’s from Japan, but Be Legend is right up there as one of the brands that has done the most authentic collaborations in the industry, and it’s been doing it for several years. While companies here in the US go more for familiar foods, candies, and other sorts of things, Be Legend has gotten together with a lengthy list of anime and manga titles and created special edition flavors themed around the partner or some of its main characters.
The team at Be Legend is back at it here today, with another authentic flavor collaboration for its signature protein powder, Whey Protein. Its latest effort is indeed another manga and anime partnership with Umamusume: Pretty Derby, which, as obscure as it sounds, centers around racehorses of the past being reborn as girls with horse ears and tails that are as quick as they were as horses. Again, it’s a unique manga, although one that Be Legend has built a limited grapefruit flavor around for its protein powder.
The nutrition profile of the authentic collaboration is right around other Be Legend protein powders with 21g of protein per serving, 4g of carbohydrates, just under 2g of fat, and 118 calories. You can grab it beginning this week directly through Be Legend’s online store in a standard 1kg or 2.2lb bag for a reasonable price of ¥3,980 (26.14 USD), and again, the collab is only around for a limited time.
