There’s a fresh energy on our harbor—and it’s as colorful as it is crave-worthy.
Coastal Protein & Energy, at 501 Harbor Blvd., Suite F, in Norred Plaza, offers a vibrant mix of protein-packed favorites, clean energy drinks and a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere that’s quickly becoming one of Destin’s cutest new places to hang out.
Whether you’re stopping in after a workout, meeting friends for a mid-day pick-me-up or simply looking for a better-for-you indulgence, Coastal Protein & Energy is designed to fuel both your body and your day.
Owner Cali Hlavac, who took over the shop last July, said bringing this concept to Destin felt like the perfect fit. “I was excited to purchase Coastal Protein & Energy to become a healthy staple in the community,” she said. “We are a great option for anyone who is health-focused or looking for alternative options for energy or getting enough protein.”
The shop is part of a local family, sister locations Poppy’s Protein in Niceville and Dream Coast Nutrition in Fort Walton Beach—both already favorites for their flavorful, nutrition-forward menus.
At Coastal, the menu is anything but boring. Guests can choose from brightly layered clean energy teas packed with vitamins B and C, naturally sweetened with stevia and customizable with add-ins like aloe, collagen or protein. The drinks are designed to deliver a boost of energy—without the dreaded afternoon crash.
Protein shakes are another standout, blending indulgent flavors with smart nutrition. Made with mostly sugar-free ingredients and typically under 250 calories, they offer a satisfying option that doesn’t derail your goals.
And for coffee lovers, the protein coffee may be the ultimate game changer—combining 30 grams of protein with 160 milligrams of caffeine in a smooth, 200-calorie drink. “It’s a great way to get your energy without the mid-afternoon crash,” Hlavac said.
Beyond drinks, Coastal Protein & Energy also serves up protein waffles, smoothie bowls and protein doughnuts—giving guests even more ways to enjoy a treat without the guilt. The doughnuts offer that classic sweet-shop satisfaction with a better-for-you twist, rounding out a menu that proves healthy can still feel indulgent.
But, what truly sets the space apart is its vibe. Bright, beachy and welcoming, it’s quickly becoming a go-to spot not just for nutrition, but for connection—whether you’re popping in solo or catching up with friends.
With convenient ordering options, customers can grab their favorites in-store, order online at square or simply text their order to 850-904-9738.
In our city known for sunshine and salt air, Coastal Protein & Energy fits right in—bringing a fresh, feel-good way to fuel up and stay energized along the Harbor.
