Apprentice 2018 finalist Camilla Ainsworth recently introduced a limited-edition, vegan-friendly Salted Honeycomb Hazelnut milk alternative through M+LKPLUS that's branded as a "no naughties nut juice."

The limited-edition four-pack of "M+LK" boasts no dairy or refined sugar, yet comes [fortified with calcium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plenish-enriched-oat-mlk) and Vitamin D3. The "nut juice" is prepared with a base of filtered spring water, hazelnuts, rice flour, the natural extracts of carob, apple and grape, as well as a few other simple ingredients. Notably, the nut juice does not contain stabilizers or gums, as many comparable [non-dairy drinks and plant-based milk products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pecan-milk) do.

According to Ainsworth, she created M+LKPLUS to fulfill a personal need when she was diagnosed with dairy intolerance and was unsatisfied by the many unnatural, uninspiring [milk alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elmhurst-1925-unsweetened) on the market and knew her stance would resonate with other Millennials.
