Non-dairy coffee and drink popularity is surging as consumers seek out ways to avoid animal ingredients for health and/or environmental reasons, which is seeing brands respond with new options like the Starbucks Bottled Frappuccino with Almond Milk line.
The line comes in Mocha and Vanilla flavor options, and are conveniently prepackaged to let consumers access a dairy-free coffee option whenever they want. The drinks are also reported to contain 40% less calories compared to the original dairy version, which will come as welcome news to those seeking to decrease their intake of unwanted calories.
The Starbucks Bottled Frappuccino with Almond Milk line will come in 13.7 ounce glass bottles and are likely to become a favorite amongst discerning coffee connoisseurs.
