Califia Farms, a company recognized for its plant-based beverage offerings, has introduced a new product to its ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee line, the 'Protein Vanilla Almond Latte.' This launch represents the first multi-serve, entirely plant-based protein latte in the RTD coffee category.
Blending brewed coffee with almond milk and a touch of vanilla flavor, the beverage is formulated to offer both taste and nutritional value. Each serving delivers "10 grams of pea protein and 5 grams of sugar, aligning with broader trends in functional beverages." Moreover, as consumer interest in protein-enriched beverages continues to grow, especially among those seeking plant-based alternatives, this product addresses that demand in a convenient, multi-serve format.
Now available at Target stores across the United States, the Protein Vanilla Almond Latte is sold at a suggested retail price of $5.29 for a 40-ounce bottle, offering a plant-based option within the evolving RTD coffee landscape.
