Cowabunga Animal-Free Dairy Beverages by Nestlé are not your average chilled ready-to-drink milk products since they contain no cow’s milk. Instead, these beverages are made using animal-free whey from alt-dairy start-up Perfect Day and this product marks the first time that the companies are collaborating.
These innovative beverages are set to hit shelves in Original and Chocolate flavors, offering a more ethical and environmentally friendly way for people of all ages to enjoy milk or chocolate milk that doesn't come from a cow. On the Cowabunga site, the brand details that ''This animal-free protein used in our climate-conscious milk emits up to 80% less greenhouse gas emissions and up to 94% less water compared to that of traditional dairy mil."
