Silk introduced Silk Protein, a high-protein, plant-based beverage with 13g of complete plant protein per serving.

"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."

Each serving of Silk Protein is packed with:

• 13g of complete plant protein to help support strong muscles and help keep you feeling full.
• 3g of fiber, providing a good source for consumers.
• 50% less sugar than regular dairy milk and 1/3 less sugar than value-added conventional milk, the company stated.
• All 9 essential amino acids in adequate amounts, making it a complete protein.
• Calcium and vitamin D to support strong bones.
• No artificial sweeteners and 130 calories per serving.

Available in two flavors — Silk Protein Original and Silk Protein Chocolate — this new offering also delivers great taste and texture, the company said. Whether blended into a smoothie, swirled into coffee for a #proffee kick, or enjoyed out of a glass, Silk Protein is a convenient, delicious way to incorporate protein and other nutrients throughout the day.

Silk Protein is rolling out on shelves nationwide this month, with additional product innovations planned for later this year. The product is available in 48oz multi-serve bottles at a suggested retail price of $5.99.
