Nestlé dips its toes into 'animal-free' waters with Cowabunga beverage in partnership with Perfect Day
Nestlé is making its first foray into the emerging 'animal-free' dairy space, with Cowabunga Animal-Free Dairy Beverages featuring Perfect Day's whey protein (made by microbes, not cows). Available in Chocolate and Original flavors, the lactose-free product - which is labeled as a 'beverage' rather than 'milk' - will be tested in six Safeway stores in the San Francisco Bay area.
The beverages - which are fortified with calcium and vitamin D and contain 14g and 250 calories protein per 15 floz bottle - are made with Perfect Day's non animal whey, oat concentrate, and high oleic sunflower oil. Image credit: Perfect Day
