Silk Debuts New Plant-Based Protein Milk
With the highest protein content of any refrigerated plant-based beverage, Silk Protein fills a critical gap in the protein drink category
- Put away the protein powder: Silk, America’s #1 plant-based beverage brand1, has launched Silk Protein, a new refrigerated plant-based milk with 13g of complete plant protein per serving — the highest protein content of any refrigerated plant-based milk on shelves.
- Silk Protein offers 50% less sugar* than regular dairy milk, a complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids, 3g of fiber, calcium and vitamin D, and no artificial sweeteners.
Health and wellness goals account for 79% of New Year’s resolutions, and with 71%of Americans seeking to boost their protein intake as a way to reach those goals, the demand for accessible, high-quality protein options has never been more essential. Yet plant-based sources only account for one third (33%) of American’s total estimated protein intake, signaling an opportunity to expand the market as more consumers seek convenient options for plant-based offerings that are packed with protein and taste delicious.
That’s why Silk, America’s #1 plant-based beverage brand, is shaking up the protein and plant-based categories with its latest innovation: Silk Protein, a new high-protein, plant-based beverage with 13g of complete plant protein per serving.
As more people look to diversify their protein sources, there’s an opportunity for more plant-based options. Varied sources of protein across lean meats, eggs, dairy, and plants help ensure well-rounded nutritional intake. In fact, a majority of healthcare professionals recommend clients and patients look to include a variety of protein sources in their diets.2
Silk Protein meets this growing demand with a new option that delivers the highest protein content of any refrigerated plant-based milk on shelves today, and additional benefits including fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and lower sugar that align with today’s consumer demands.
“Silk continues to lead the plant-based beverage category with innovative options that meet evolving consumer needs. Protein is here to stay, yet convenient, great-tasting plant-based choices have been limited – until now,” said Kallie Goodwin, Senior Vice President of Plant-Based Beverages, Danone U.S. “Our new Silk Protein not only delivers the protein consumers crave but also offers added benefits like fiber, calcium, and less sugar to support balanced nutrition.”
