Starbucks and Nestle have introduced a new set of non-dairy coffee enhancers to pair with their famous line of at-home dairy coffee enhancers. The two new products are made with a unique blend of oats and almonds that creates a creamy non-dairy milk substitute. The dairy-free coffee enhancers are available in 'Caramel Macchiato' and 'Hazelnut Latte' flavors. While these flavors were already available in a dairy version, this new product line brings these iconic flavors to a wider variety of customers.
Starbucks launched its at-home coffee enhancers last year, and since then, there has been outspoken demand for vegetarian and vegan options due to the high quality of these products. Eryn Pasut, the Marketing Director of Beverages at Nestle Canada, stated that these new products "provide the opportunity for more Canadians to become a barista in their own kitchen."
The Caramel Macchiato and Hazelnut Latte non-dairy coffee enhancers are available now at select retailers across North America
