Ripple Foods has added a new plant-based milk to its product range – Oat Milk + Protein – which contains 50% less sugar and more calcium than dairy milk. The new oat milk features 6g of plant-based protein per serving, which is said to have three times more protein than most regular oat milk offerings. Ripple Foods uses gluten-free oats and "ultra-clean" pea protein for its new Oatmilk + Protein beverage. Ripple Foods CEO Laura Flanagan said: "There are many consumers who like the taste and texture of oat milk, but the reality is they are disappointed in the nutritional profile, specifically the lack of protein. Ripple is changing the game so that those who like oat milk, can now really love it, as Ripple's version of oat milk provides three times more protein than regular oat milk, along with the great taste and creamy texture people expect." Oat Milk + Protein will be available at Target, Sprouts and other retailers for an RRP of $5.99 per bottle.
