Califia Farms introduces Complete, a deliciously creamy plant milk with nine essential nutrients, eight grams of protein, all nine essential amino acids, and half the sugar of dairy milk.

Califia Farms launches ready-to-drink Matcha Almond Latte, Sweetened Iced Coffee, Chocolate Strawberry Almond Creamer and Organic Oat and Coconut Barista Blends.

Nutritionally comparable to dairy, one eight-ounce serving of Califia Farms Complete contains the same amount or more of these nine essential nutrients as an eight-ounce serving of dairy milk: Protein, Calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Riboflavin. While plant-based milks continue to enjoy popularity thanks to taste and a relatively lower fat, sugar, and calorie profile than dairy milk, this product serves the 60% of consumers who say they are concerned they will miss out on important nutrients when drinking a plant-based beverage³.^. Delicious with a silky-smooth texture, Califia Farms Complete is perfect blended in smoothies, poured over cereal, or sipped straight.

"The launch of Califia Farms Complete is a standout addition to our product portfolio and signals a shift in the way we think about plant-based milks," said Suzanne Ginestro, chief marketing officer of Califia Farms. "This product is not only irresistibly delicious and creamy, but it also delivers an undeniably impressive number of vitamins and minerals that rival that of dairy milk. The launch of Califia Farms Complete means that consumers now have even more yummy, nutritious ways to enjoy a plant-based diet without compromise."

Califia Farms Complete is available in a 40-ounce, refrigerated format and is free from the nine major allergens as determined by the FDA: milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, crustacean shellfish, wheat, soybeans, or sesame. It is Non-GMO Project Verified.

"The level of total nutrition found in Califia Farms Complete is a powerful and unique way for consumers to achieve their nutritional needs," said Rajneesh Hora, chief science officer at Califia Farms. "We spent a lot of time perfecting this formula to combine noteworthy amounts of vitamins, minerals, and protein while delivering on the delicious, creamy consistency that's become a hallmark of Califia's plant-based products."
