New Food and Beverage Product Launches, January 1 – 5

Dairy-free milk and cheese innovations, an indulgent line of yogurt cups, and kits to make Taco Bell favorites at home are among the latest food and beverage products hitting the shelves this week. 

Planet Oat: Barista Lovers Oatmilk

Planet Oat announced its latest product, Barista Lovers Oatmilk, an oatmilk with velvety and smooth texture that froths and steams like dairy milk.

Barista Lovers Oatmilk is now available nationwide. 

Armored Fresh: Oat Milk Pepper Jack Slices 

Oat Milk Pepper Jack Slices is the latest dairy alternative innovation from Armored Fresh. The new zero-dairy cheese product combines fiery jalapeños and rich oat milk in a melty, savory cheese. 

Designed with the brand’s patented technologies, Oat Milk Pepper Jack Slices offer a taste, texture, and melting property that’s on par with animal-based pepper jack cheeses and perfect for burgers, sandwiches, quesadillas and more. In addition to being free of dairy, the new cheese is gluten-free, non-GMO, and a good option for those with diet restrictions and food allergies or sensitivities.

Armored Fresh products are available through foodservice partners and at select retailers nationwide, including Kroger, Fresh Thyme Market, Town and Country Foods, and Fred Meyer.

Taco Bell: Cravings Kits

Taco Bell teamed up with Kraft Heinz to launch two Taco Bell at Home Cravings Kits — the Crunchwrap Supreme and Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla. 

This is the first time Taco Bell’s meals have been available outside the restaurant, packaged in a kit with the ingredients, seasonings, and sauces needed to recreate them at home.

The new kits include four servings each, retail for $7.99, and will be available this month at Walmart stores and online. 

Chobani: Creations Greek Yogurt

Chobani recently introduced Chobani Creations Greek Yogurt in six dessert-inspired flavors — Mocha Tiramisu, Apple Pie à la Mode, Cherry Cheesecake, Orange Cream Pop, Bananas Foster, and Caramel Sundae. The new product line makes yogurt more than a breakfast food, turning it into a permissible indulgence and well-deserved treat. 

Like all Chobani products, Creations are made without artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. They’re also an excellent source of protein, a good source of calcium, and offer billions of probiotics and nine essential amino acids. 

Chobani Creations are available for the suggested retail price of $1.79 per 5.3-ounce cup.
