BERKELEY, Calif., May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ripple Foods announced a partnership with Milwaukee Bucks Guard All Star Player Jrue Holiday, a loyal fan and champion of the brand. Aligning with Ripple's mission of "Dairy Free Done Right" – a belief that good food should taste great, nourish your body, and leave a small footprint on the planet – Jrue is highlighting Ripple's portfolio of products that have helped him become a top performer both on and off the court.

Leading up to the NBA Playoffs this season, Ripple Plant-Based Protein Shakes have become a go-to recovery shake for Holiday.

Available in Chocolate, Vanilla and Coffee, Ripple Plant-Based Protein Shakes are available in retailers nationwide like Target, Giant, Wegmans, Big Y, Gelsons and 7-11.

As a leader in the plant-based dairy space, Ripple continues to stay at the forefront of innovation with its wide assortment of plant-based products, including milk, half & half, protein shakes, and frozen desserts. Made from protein-rich yellow peas, Ripple products are also good for the environment – requiring significantly less water than almond or dairy milk for production. The company's staple beverage, Ripple Milk, exists to deliver a delicious product that is a good source of protein with less sugar. In fact, Ripple Milk has eight times more protein than almond milk and half the sugar of dairy milk.

"Ripple products have played an important role in my family's personal health journey," said Holiday. "Leading up the playoffs, it has helped me to reach the peak of my performance. Ripple Plant-Based Protein Shakes have become my go-to post-game recovery drink because they have the right amount of protein and nutrients that my body needs to promote muscle recovery and growth, while still offering a perfectly sweet and smooth texture."

Ripple Plant-Based Protein Shakes are packed with twenty grams of clean plant-based protein per serving. They are soy-free, nut-free, gluten-free, lactose-free and Non-GMO Project Verified. Available in Chocolate, Vanilla and Coffee, they are shelf-stable for easy storage and travel.

"As an elite athlete in the NBA, we're thrilled to have Jrue champion our products and stand with us in our mission," said Laura Flanagan, Chief Executive Officer at Ripple Foods. "Our belief is that going dairy-free and shifting to plant-based foods shouldn't be a sacrifice in taste or nutrition. While our plant-based protein is especially appealing to athletes, Ripple has helped consumers far and wide achieve a healthier lifestyle.”
