Milk is great on its own, but adding flavors like strawberry, chocolate, vanilla or banana make it extra special! As a treat or part of a balanced diet, flavored milk is a worldwide favorite beverage.  

We have years of experience formulating with milk and its unique challenges. We also have extensive knowledge on adding flavors and preparing products for different shelf life levels as well as a variety of packaging options. Our technical experts use our product portfolio to address stabilization, pourability, viscosity, suspension, and texture preferences that work with both dairy and flavors.  

When it comes to adding nutrients, sugar reduction and even fat reduction, our nature-based ingredients can bring back mouthfeel, protect protein, suspend nutrients while stabilizing for a great flavored milk from the first to last sip.

As consumers embrace alternative proteins into their daily diet, the demand for variety is driving the dairy milk substitute market. From vegans and vegetarians to those with dairy allergies and intolerances, to the curious flexitarians, more of us are seeking nature-based ways to take in protein and nutrients.

Formulators are also becoming more creative with protein sources and blends.

However, they must contend with a variety of issues when working with various grains, nuts or other plant sources. Grinding the nuts or grains into a fine powder can leave some residual solids that can settle to the bottom of the container.

Adding fortification ingredients like calcium to improve nutritional content can also present a settling issue and, therefore not deliver what is promised on the label. Beverages made from coconut have fats that may separate and rise to the top of the container. Others are very thin and need additional body and creaminess to create the right mouthfeel that consumers desire in dairy alternative beverages.

Whatever your challenge, CP Kelco has the nature-based ingredient to complement your formulation and help solve issues of stability, suspension, viscosity, body and mouthfeel.
