Beverage consumers want low-fat, low-sugar and high-protein products made with natural ingredients, according to a new survey of dairy processors. And dairies plan to increase their production of beverages in single-serve formats (16 ounces or less). Beverage makers are using a wide variety of flavors, branching out from the traditional chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.

Processors like Turkey Hill are focusing on unique tea flavors and more options. Lipton introduces healthier teas, and Good Belly goes with functional ingredients, a trend many other beverage makers are following.
