Countless drinkable yogurts on the market emphasize bold flavors or nutritional benefits, but Maison Riviera launched Canada's first and only upcycled drinkable yogurts, which stand out by tackling food waste.
These certified UPcycled drinkable yogurts contain up to 30% upcycled ingredients per bottle, and 50% upcycled fruit. In addition to giving new life to imperfect fruit, these upcycled yogurt drinks repurpose milk permeate. As the brand shares, "This year, we aim to upcycle 35,000 kg of dairy components through our drinkable yogurt line, reducing waste in the industry while offering a more sustainable alternative."
These lactose-free, probiotic-packed beverages are available in Strawberry-Banana and Tropical Fruits varieties, both made with nourishing ingredients, and no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.
