Snack-Sized Beverages

'fairlife smart snacks' are Designed to Satisfy Hunger Between Meals

— October 18, 2018 — Lifestyle
fairlife, a brand of ultra-filtered milk distributed in the United States by The Coca-Cola Company, just introduced 'smart snacks' as an all-new collection of snack-sized beverages. These beverages come in eight-ounce bottles and are intended to help tide consumers over in between meals.

The products in Rich Chocolate, French Vanilla and Creamy Strawberry are packed with 15 grams of protein, five grams of dietary fiber, as well as prebiotics and calcium, but without any artificial preservatives, flavors or colors. Since the nutritional shakes are made with ultra-filtered milk, the process involves removing the lactose and delivering 50% less sugar than regular milk.

As indicated on the beverage labels, the milk is blended with honey and oats for a flavorful, nourishing, rich and creamy taste experience.
