Milk processors are finding success with limited-time flavors like mint chocolate chip and birthday cake. A national campaign focusing on protein hopes to keep milk front-and-center on the breakfast table.

It is like a sport utility vehicle. Versatile chocolate milk does it all, delivering protein, carbohydrates, fluids and electrolytes to help athletes recover from a tough workout.
There are more beverage options today than ever before. That means milk processors have to develop innovative products and stay relevant for millennials and baby boomers.
MilkPEP’s CEO says the group is going to be working ‘more aggressively to come out against the milk naysayers’ and it will aid dairy processors in telling milk’s protein story.

Makers of breakfast cereals are natural allies of milk processors. Athletic organizations help to promote chocolate milk. And milk processors, using industry-funded research, are developing high-protein, valued-added beverages.
