NIÚKE unveiled QmilQ, a pioneering quinoa milk brand set to make waves in the U.S. market for its delicious taste, health benefits and sustainable practices. 

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.  

Milkadamia notes that due to its creamy texture, smooth taste and nutritional benefits, Milkadamia’s array of creamy milks will have consumers saying goodbye to almond and oat alternatives for the taste of iced or hot coffee or tea made from vegan milkadamia nuts.

In response to growing consumer demand, Ripple Foods added Ripple Kids Unsweetened Original Milk to its portfolio of plant-based products.vLaunched in 2021, the popular Kids Original Milk was one of the fastest-growing products in the refrigerated plant-based milk category.

Retail sales of plant-based milk alternatives have reached $3.1 billion dollars in the United States and $20.9 billion worldwide. Yet, there’s no disputing the power of nutrients found in real dairy milk. In fact, real dairy milk contains nine essential nutrients, including 8 grams of protein; while almond milk, the most popular milk alternative, contains only 1 gram.

Plant-based milk alternatives are the largest plant-based food category in North America and grew 5% last year.
