Protein shakes and meal replacements have become commonplace, but the Arla Protein Food to Go whole meal replacement shakes are formulated with the best parts of each for a nutritionally dense option for consumers to choose.
The drinks are making their way to the Danish market in two flavors including Chocolate Caramel and Vanilla Hazelnut, which both feature 30-grams of protein with 12-grams of fiber. The drinks also have a minimum of 15% of the recommended daily intake for vitamins and minerals to give them a truly complete nutritional profile when used as a drinkable meal.
Director of Arla Denmark Henrik Lilballe spoke on the Arla Protein Food to Go whole meal replacement shakes saying, "We would like to help develop the beverage meal area together with our customers. Our expectation is that we can grow the relatively new subcategory within milk-based beverages. But drinking meals are relatively unknown to the Danes, and there is clearly a lot of work in explaining to consumers how the products can be used and in which situations, as well as how they are different from the products that are already on the market today."
