High-protein and convenience collide with the new Arla Protein Milkshake that's headed to the UK market as the perfect snack option for consumers to enjoy as a quick nutritional pick-me-up.
The milkshake comes in 200ml cups that will call to mind to-go coffee cups and can thus be easily carried when heading out of the house. The lactose-free drink comes in at 182-calories with no added sugars and features 20-grams of protein per serving. The drink comes in two flavor options including Chocolate Brownie and Vanilla Fudge, which are both perfect as a snack, a treat or even a dessert in the evening that will satiate hunger pangs.
The Arla Protein Milkshake is available now at Asda and will arrive at Sainsbury's on September 3, 2025.
