Darigold, Inc., one of the nation’s largest dairy producers, expanded its product lineup with the launch of Darigold Protein Shakes. Available in chocolate and vanilla, each shake delivers 30g of high-quality protein, plus essential amino acids, electrolytes, and important vitamins and minerals – all in a ready-to-drink beverage that’s lactose-free and contains no added sugar.

Now available at select retailers or nationwide on Amazon, Darigold Protein Shakes are the latest innovation from the farmer-owned dairy producer as it expands its portfolio of branded products, enters new markets, and introduces new distribution channels.

The launch comes as demand for protein-packed beverages continues to grow. Research firm Mordor Intelligence estimates the market for ready-to-drink protein beverages at $1.8 billion worldwide, growing to $2.6 billion by 2030. North America represents the largest market, with the United States alone accounting for 58% of the market and a compound annual growth rate of more than 5% (compared to 7.7% worldwide).
