Nestlé’s Garden of Life releases ready-to-drink protein beverages

Nestlé-owned Garden of Life has moved into the ready-to-drink category with the launch of four protein beverages in the US.

The zero-sugar line includes both grass-fed dairy and plant-based protein drinks, both available in chocolate or vanilla flavours.

Garden of Life Organic Protein Plant-based Drinks provide 21g of protein, 1g net carbs, 5g of MCTs, and contain no dairy, soy or gluten.

Garden of Life Sport Dairy Grass-fed Protein Drinks offer 26g of protein, and no synthetic hormones, antibiotics, soy or gluten.

“Today’s health-minded consumers are looking for a quick source of clean protein – but they also want products made with ingredients they can trust,” said Garden of Life president Brian Ray.

“We have a passion for helping people achieve extraordinary health, and we’re proud to offer products that are made with traceable ingredients and offer the assurance of respected third-party certifications, including Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified and NSF Certified for Sport.”

Garden of Life said the protein drinks are ideal for those who want to jump-start their day, enjoy a satisfying snack or replenish themselves after workouts.

Headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Garden of Life offers more than 330 branded supplements. The business was acquired by Nestlé in 2017.
