Upcycled foods company Take Two has launched 'Barista Barleymilk,' a plant-based dairy milk alternative made from sustainable ingredients. Crafted for coffee and tea, the new milk alternative can be used as a delicious creamer or steamed and frothed for cappuccinos and lattes.
In addition to offering customers a unique creamer, the product boasts a healthy nutritional profile unmatched by market counterparts. The milk is loaded with 3 grams of complete plant protein per serving and provides an excellent source of calcium and healthy fats such as MCTs.
In addition, the new milk aligns with the brand's sustainability-focused mission statement. "The simple switch to using Barleymilk in a latte makes a big impact. It saves food from going to landfills and conserves essential resources such as water, land, and energy,” said Co-Founder & CEO Jerek Theo Lovey.
