This groundbreaking collaboration pairs one of the world’s most trusted fruit brands with one of sports nutrition’s fastest-growing companies.

The AN Performance x Chiquita Lineup
Brief overview paragraph about the exclusive launch at The Vitamin Shoppe and the partnership’s significance

AN Performance Hybrid Protein – Now with Real Banana Power
AN Performance’s protein collaboration with Chiquita isn’t just about the name – it brings real fruit-inspired nutrition with it. Most notably, each serving contains 400 milligrams of potassium – the exact amount you’d get in a medium-sized banana!
The magic starts with AN Performance’s innovative protein blend, which combines both whey and milk protein isolates to deliver 23 grams of protein per serving. Unlike basic whey protein powders that digest quickly, this hybrid blend provides both fast-digesting whey protein and slower-releasing milk proteins, supporting both immediate and sustained amino acid delivery to muscles. And this blend makes the taste and texture so much better!
Two indulgent Chiquita-inspired flavors are available:
- Chiquita Banana Chocolate – A rich combination of smooth chocolate and authentic banana flavor
- Chiquita Banana Peanut Butter – The classic banana and PB combo that athletes love
What’s most impressive about these flavors is their macronutrient profile – each serving delivers:
- 110 calories
- 23g protein
- 1g sugar
- 1g fat
- 400mg potassium (8% DV)
- 240mg calcium (20% DV)
The addition of real potassium to match a banana’s content shows AN Performance’s attention to detail and commitment to authentic collaborations. It’s not just about slapping Chiquita’s name on the label – it’s about delivering a protein powder that brings real nutritional value along with its great taste.

AN Performance Pre – Chiquita Pineapple Strawberry
Now it’s on to the Pineapple Strawberry flavors:
Beyond Bananas: Chiquita’s Pineapple Legacy Meets AN Performance
While Chiquita is best known for their bananas, many don’t realize they’re also one of the world’s largest pineapple producers. The company grows and harvests premium pineapples throughout Central and South America, making them a perfect partner for tropical-inspired sports supplements.
AN Performance has leveraged this expertise to create a refreshing Pineapple Strawberry flavor system across their performance-based products. This isn’t just another tropical flavor – it’s built upon Chiquita’s deep understanding of real pineapple taste profiles, enhanced with sweet strawberry notes for a perfectly balanced blend.
AN’s flagship pre-workout supplement maintains its clinical dosing with the following in two scoops:
- 6g L-citrulline
- 3.2g beta alanine
- 300mg natural caffeine
- 500mg Cognizin citicoline
This is all boosted by one of our favorite new ingredients, 100mg of NeuroRush from Aura Scientific!
For a complete analysis of this powerful pre-workout, see our AN Performance Pre article.

AN Performance Pre Zero Stim – Chiquita Pineapple Strawberry
The stimulant-free pre-workout keeps its premium formula intact:
- 6g L-citrulline (2 scoops)
- 3.2g beta alanine (2 scoops)
- Peak ATP for natural energy
- Full pump and performance matrix
This one keeps the NeuroRush, but instead of caffeine anhydrous you get Peak ATP, which is a phenomenal way to provide exogenous energy without the stimulation!

AN Performance Hydration – Chiquita Pineapple Strawberry
The scientifically-dosed hydration formula remains unchanged, delivering:
- 2 grams of taurine
- 400mg Peak ATP
- 1.6g comprehensive electrolyte blend, including plenty of potassium
What we love is that many of the minerals are kept in the same general %RDA, so nothing gets out of balance. For instance, potassium is often underdosed. Magnesium, however, is a bit higher, at 33% RDA, but we’ll never turn down a solid hit of mag.
You can read our full breakdown of this premium hydration formula in our in-depth AN Performance Hydration article.

Informed Sport Certified
As with the rest of the AN Performance series, all flavors are certified by Informed Sport and Informed Protein, ensuring they’re tested for banned substances and protein quality. This makes them perfect not just for athletes, but anyone looking for clean, high-quality supplements that provide additional electrolyte and performance support.
A Natural Partnership: Real Fruit Company Meets Real Performance Brand
The collaboration between Applied Nutrition and Chiquita represents a major step up in sports nutrition partnerships. Instead of teaming up with candy brands or soft drinks, AN Performance chose to align with a company known for natural, healthy foods — a perfect match for their premium supplement positioning.
It’s not just a basic licensing deal, either — the authenticity shines through in the formulations. Adding potassium to match a real banana’s content shows AN’s commitment to meaningful innovation rather than surface-level marketing. It’s a stark contrast to many industry collaborations that simply rebrand existing formulas with new packaging.
The exclusive launch at The Vitamin Shoppe has proven successful, with early sales exceeding expectations even before major marketing initiatives. This mirrors The Vitamin Shoppe’s commitment to premium, tested supplements, as all AN Performance x Chiquita products maintain their Informed Sport certification — a critical factor for serious athletes and health-conscious consumers.
Beyond the initial launch, this partnership opens doors for future innovations. With Chiquita’s expertise in tropical fruits and AN’s formulation capabilities, we expect to see more authentic fruit-powered supplements that bridge the gap between whole food nutrition and sports supplementation.
