Abstract: Promotion of healthy lifestyle is gaining momentum in Ukraine. A healthy lifestyle is not only physical activity, it is also a way of nutrition and diet. Nutrition of significant part of the population of Ukraine is deficient in animal proteins, vitamins, and some minerals. This deficit can be compensated for by enriching diets of people who have much physical activity with protein cocktails containing certain biologically active substances. Results of the presented research can be implemented in the food industry, in production of combined protein products of functional and special purpose. Whey protein concentrate is often used as a source of biologically valuable proteins, as protein supplement when eating meat-free diets, or as a supplement to the diet of people who have high physical activity. Assortment of these products is limited. The topic needs to be studied because there are no researches that describe the scientifically based approach to the use of derivatives of processing wild berries in products intended for people with high physical activity. The protein coctails market has stable needs, therefore expansion of the assortment may be promising, due to use of derivatives of natural plant raw materials, with the content of valuable vitamins and minerals. The main goal of the research is to develop the recipe for protein cocktail mixture with increased biological value, which is achieved by enriching secondary dairy products with ingredients that carry biologically valuable components, inclusing vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. The main objectives of the study are to select and justify types of main and additional raw materials for the designed product, develop draft recipes, and study organoleptic, physicochemical, and microbiological indicators. As a result of the research, rational selection of raw materials for the protein cocktail was carried out, justification of its impact on quality indicators and shelf life was made, and experimental recipe was developed. In the future, it is planned to expand the variety of ingredients, and to develop the line of protein cocktails with increased biological value.
