Coffee mate is unveiling Plant-Based Almond & Oat Milk Creamers in two fan-favorite flavors: French Vanilla and Caramel. These new creamers combine oat and almond milk for a smooth, blended base, featuring the familiar flavors of Coffee Mate creamers. This new offering was designed for coffee lovers seeking options in the creamer aisle as plant-based creamers continue to gain popularity - representing 15% of the overall category in 20221.
"As creamer fans continue to seek variety, both in flavor and ingredients, it was only natural for Coffee mate to step into the plant space," said Leonardo Aizpuru, Nestlé Senior Director of Brand Marketing and Leader of the Creamer Business Unit. "Now everyone can have the best of both worlds – the delicious taste of Coffee mate, featuring plant-based ingredients."
The new Coffee mate Plant-Based Almond & Oat Milk Creamers will be available at select Walmart locations in October, expanding to grocery stores and mass retailers nationwide in January 2023.
