Renewal Mill recently expanded its product portfolio with two new cookie mixes that are made from okara flour or oat milk flour. While the brand's Upcycled Sugar Cookie Mix helps to give new life to a by-product of soymilk production, the Upcycled Oat Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix helps to do the same with oat milk flour, which comes from the production of oat milk.
The mindfully made cookie mixes are vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO, offering a healthful and sustainable twist on some of the most beloved baked sweet treats. The products are packaged in standing pouches that make it easy to create simple, nourishing snacks at home.
The brand is also introducing a standalone Oat Milk Flour that's upcycled and packed with protein.
