Sleep Protein started with a single, very specific idea: combine slow‑digesting micellar casein with a full sleep-support stack so one scoop could cover both recovery and rest. Until now, it only came in Vanilla Lavender Sky.
That’s about to change. The brand has confirmed that its second flavor, Midnight Cocoa Chocolate, is “almost finished” and headed into production.
What Sleep Protein Actually Does
Each serving of Sleep Protein is built for the last thing you consume before bed:
20 g of protein, all from slow‑digesting micellar casein
A sleep stack that includes magnesium, zinc, theanine, GABA, 5‑HTP and tryptophan
DigeZyme for digestion support, in 14‑serving pouches targeting nightly use
The idea is to keep amino acids trickling in overnight while also nudging your nervous system toward calmer, deeper sleep.
That’s backed by a growing pile of research showing that pre‑sleep protein can support recovery, muscle protein synthesis and overnight metabolism.
Why Midnight Cocoa Chocolate Matters
Vanilla Lavender Sky is on‑brand for a sleep product, but chocolate is the flavor a lot of people instinctively reach for at night. Midnight Cocoa Chocolate aims to:
Feel more like a hot cocoa or dessert shake than a functional supplement
Pair easily with warm milk or water for a cozy, pre‑bed ritual
Offer an alternative for people who aren’t into lavender‑forward flavors
If you already use casein as a “night cap” protein, this gives you a way to keep that habit and layer in actual sleep‑support ingredients.
When It’s Coming
Sleep Protein has said Midnight Cocoa Chocolate is nearly finalized and should move into production once flavor tweaks are locked.
Given typical supplement timelines, that suggests:
Roughly three months from final sign‑off to finished inventory
A launch window likely in early 2026, rolling out through Amazon and existing retail partners
Final Take
Sleep Protein already solved the “do I take a sleep aid or a casein shake?” question by just combining both. Midnight Cocoa Chocolate is the obvious next step—give people a flavor they actually crave at night, not just tolerate for the sake of recovery.
If you like the idea of treating your nightly protein like a dessert instead of a chore, this is a flavor to watch.
