Dairy Farmers of America released dairy and plant-based milks under the Live Real Farms banner. The new product features a 50/50 blend of dairy and plant-based products for a deliciously creamy taste. In addition, the hybrid milk product is lactose-free, making it ideal for those with lactose sensitivities.
The Dairy+ brand leverages the creamy texture and high protein content of dairy in combination with the low-sugar content of almond and oat milks. By combining the benefits from both types of milk, the Dairy Farmers of America create a healthy, nutritious, and flavorful blend. The lactose-free product is ideal for use in coffee and tea, for baking, and for enjoying on its own as a creamy beverage.
