Minneapolis-based Live Real Farms, a brand of Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), Kansas City, Kan., introduced Dairy Plus Milk Blends — a line of blended beverage options that combine lactose-free dairy with almonds or oats.

Dallas-based Borden launched Kid Builder: its first 2% no-sugar-added milk geared for kids. According to the company, the offering has 50% more protein (13 grams per 240-milliliter serving) and calcium (490 milligrams per 240-milliliter serving) than regular milk.

S&D Beverage Innovations creates a new zero-calorie milk flavoring line called MilkSplash in five flavors.

New milk trends are emerging that are all about functional ingredients and health benefits, like higher-protein and lactose-free.
