Kodiak has entered the overnight oats category with the national launch of a new protein-focused range.

The line includes three core flavours – Maple Pecan, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt and Cookie Butter – and is made with 100% whole-grain oats, chia, flax and quinoa. Each serving contains 20g of protein and less than 10g of sugar, according to the company.

Sonali Dalvi, vice president and head of R&D at Kodiak, said the launch responds to growing demand for convenient, functional breakfast options, while staying aligned with the brand’s focus on whole-grain, protein-rich products.

The overnight oats are positioned as a ready-ahead breakfast: consumers add milk, refrigerate overnight and eat the following day. The products are also a source of fibre.

Packaging for the range is certified plastic-neutral through a continued partnership with 4ocean, meaning an equivalent amount of plastic used in packaging is removed from oceans, rivers and coastlines.

Kodiak Overnight Oats are sold in single-serve pouches with a suggested retail price of $3.79 and are available online and at major US retailers, including Walmart, Target and Kroger. A Walmart-exclusive Peach flavour has also launched.

Further expansion is planned for 2026, including a 12-count variety pack on Amazon in February, followed by the wider rollout of Peach and the introduction of Honey Oat & Almond later in the year.
