The MALK x The Coconut Cult Vanilla Malk Shake has been developed through a collaboration between the plant-based milk brand and the yogurt brand as a nutritious, delicious way to satisfy cravings. The product starts off with the coconut yogurt base from The Coconut Cult that's paired with MALK's Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk. These ingredients combine to achieve a vanilla milkshake-inspired flavor, while the product doesn't have any gums, fillers or artificial ingredients with 800-billion CFUs of probiotics in every jar.
The MALK x The Coconut Cult Vanilla Malk Shake is launching now at Whole Foods and Sprouts, and comes in response to consumer interest in alt dairy products that mimic classic treats. This could help to catch the attention of existing fans as well as newcomers.
