Vitasoy, a beverage brand, has introduced a fresh lineup of plant-based yogurt crafted from locally sourced oats. Produced at Vitasoy's Albury-Wodonga facility, this innovative range is presented in three enticing flavors: Blueberry, Vanilla, and Summer Fruits.
Consumers will be able to enjoy a snack filled with plant-based calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and protein when they purchase this beverage. Vitasoy's new flavors are made with soluble oat fiber and live cultures found in fermented products.
"Following the incredible consumer response to the launch of our Greek Style Soy Yogurt portfolio last year, we saw an opportunity to diversify the range using an Oat milk base. We were determined to deliver our signature smooth and creamy texture, along with a strong nutritional profile by adding protein and calcium, when developing this range," said Nick Bartram, marketing and strategy GM of Vitasoy Australia.
Vitasoy's new Oat Yogurts can be purchased at Coles supermarket locations.
