The co-branded beverage shares the benefits of Willa's unique milling process, which uses the whole oat for a result that provides [more protein, fiber and nutrients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kall-oat-milk) with less sugar.

The wholesome and deliciously dark chocolate oat milk drink is only made with a handful of simple ingredients, including filtered water, organic whole-grain oats and nutritious organic cacao powder, plus organic maple sugar, organic vanilla extract and a hint of sea salt to round out the flavor and texture. According to the company, the dairy-free drink is said to have a "bright, brownie-like flavor."
