Back by popular demand, MALK Organics has reintroduced its seasonal favorite, Holiday Nog, for a second year in a row.

New ingredients from Cargill, FlavorSum, and Glanbia Nutritionals

Los Angeles-based Califia Farms, makers of premium, plant-based beverages, debuts returning fan-favorite Pumpkin Spice products, an expanded Caramel Apple line, new creamers, and a Holiday Blend Black Iced Coffee. 

Anyone questioning the growth of the sports nutrition market can look at the merger and acquisition space. The most recent transaction in this market — at press time — was The Simply Good Food Co.

Company introduced Vanilla Almond, Caramel Almond and Lightly Sweetened Oat.

Muscle Milk, a brand of CytoSport Inc., announced it has entered the plant-based category with new plant-based protein shakes that are powered by 30 grams of protein per serving.

Made from a special blend of pea, chickpea, and fava bean protein, Califia Farms Complete is available now at Target, Walmart, and other retailers nationwide with a suggested retail price of $6.69.

Elma, N.Y. based Elmhurst 1925 announced the expansion of its flagship unsweetened plant milk line with its newest offering: Milked Coconuts & Cashews. Delicately crafted with whole buttery cashews and rich coconut cream, the unsweetened blend delivers an unmatched balanced flavor and creamy texture, the company states.  

Growth of specific plant-based dairy alternatives like plant-based cheese, milks (soy, almond, etc.), ice cream, yogurt, and pea protein have been trending upwards. But is the subcategory niche or firmly “planted” in consumers’ minds?

Mooala Simple is available in Almond and Oat varieties and contains no gums, oils or additives. Six-packs are available on Amazon for $36.99 and are an additional $2 off for a limited time.
