Ripple Foods, a California-based brand specializing in pea protein products, has announced the launch of its newest beverage, 'Oatmilk + Protein.'
The new milk-like drink is made from a blend of the brand's signature pea protein and oat milk. As a result, it contains an impressive 6 grams of protein per serving while delivering 50% more calcium and 50% less sugar than a standard cup of dairy milk. What's more, the beverage is 100% vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO, making it a viable option for those adhering to specialty diets.
Currently, Ripple Foods 'Oatmilk + Protein' drink is being sold at various retailers, including Albertson’s Southern Division, Jewel, and Whole Foods Market. In addition, the brand plans to roll out the drink at Target and Sprouts later this year.
