The limited-edition collaboration transforms Koia’s beloved Banana Creme flavor into the first instant banana bread protein dessert — ready warm or cold in one minute or less, no oven required
Los Angeles, Calif. (September 22, 2026) – Koia™, the leader in clean, plant-based protein, and Perdi’s, the instant, protein-forward dessert brand, today announced their co-branded product launch that turns the cozy, nostalgic fall flavor of homemade banana bread into a protein-packed instant dessert. The limited-edition product will be available via perdisprotein[dot]com and TikTok Shop, while supplies last.
Inspired by Koia's top-selling Banana Creme flavor and reimagined in Perdi's signature dessert-first single-serve format, the Perdi's x Koia Banana Bread Protein Dessert delivers all the cozy comfort of banana bread without having to whip out the recipe book. Ready in one minute or less, the plant-based dessert can be prepared warm for a soft, banana bread-inspired mug cake or cold for a creamy banana pudding.
“Like so many others, we’ve followed Lainie’s recipes for years. We’ve loved watching her and Lauren grow Perdi’s this year, and it’s been exciting to see how closely our brands align around the belief that protein should be something you genuinely enjoy,” said Diane DiLorenzo, VP of Marketing at Koia. “Bringing their creativity to one of Koia’s longtime favorite flavors gives us a whole new way to experience Banana Creme, and we can’t wait for people to try it.”
Perdi’s was inspired by the personal health journeys of co-founders and longtime best friends Lainie Kates and Lauren Montgomery, who bring complementary expertise to the brand. Kates, a holistic nutritionist, recipe developer, and content creator, began rethinking the foods she ate while navigating PCOS, while Montgomery, a health-supportive chef, was searching for better options amid her own gut health challenges. Together, they launched Perdi’s in 2025 to prove that functional, high-protein foods can still feel genuinely indulgent — pairing nutrition expertise with culinary credibility to reinvent familiar desserts for the way people want to eat today.
“Banana has been having a major moment across food and beverage, and this limited-edition launch taps into that energy with a distinctly Perdi’s twist,” said Lainie Kates, Co-Founder of Perdi’s. “We love taking desserts people already know and love and creating a new way to experience them, and banana bread — with its nostalgic vibe and homemade taste that’s perfect for fall — was the perfect canvas.”
