Bones Coffee Company relaunched its ready-to-drink latte lineup with a reformulated recipe featuring real milk, 7 grams of protein and 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving. The new formulas also contain 50% less sugar than the previous recipe, delivering a creamier texture while maintaining the brand’s dessert-inspired flavor profile.
The refreshed lineup includes updated flavor names and new packaging. Offerings include S’mores, formerly S’morey Time; Sea Salt Caramel Mocha, formerly Salty Siren Latte; Cookies & Cream, formerly Cookies N Dreams; French Toast; and Cannoli, formerly Holy Cannoli. Each flavor combines pastry- and dessert-inspired notes in a ready-to-drink latte format.
For consumers, the relaunch offers a richer, milk-based latte with added protein and a high caffeine content while reducing sugar. Bones Coffee says the update responds to demand for indulgent ready-to-drink beverages with functional benefits, and the lineup is available through BonesCoffee.com, Walmart and Target nationwide.
