Silk, a plant-based beverage brand, is shaking up the protein and plant-based categories with its latest innovation: Silk Protein, a new high-protein, plant-based beverage with 13g of complete plant protein per serving.

As more people look to diversify their protein sources, there's an opportunity for more plant-based options. Varied sources of protein across lean meats, eggs, dairy and plants help ensure well-rounded nutritional intake.

Silk Protein meets this growing demand with a new option that delivers the highest protein content of any refrigerated plant-based milk on shelves today, and additional benefits including fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and lower sugar that align with today's consumer demands.

Silk Protein combines the great taste Silk is known for with the plant-powered protein consumers crave. 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.
- 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 taste and texture. Whether blended into a smoothie, swirled into coffee or enjoyed out of a glass, Silk Protein is a convenient 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.

*Silk Protein Original: 4g total sugar/cup; reduced fat dairy milk: 11g total sugar/cup; value-added dairy milk: 6g total sugar/cup.
