MILAN – Arla Foods Ingredients has announced the launch of two inspirational concepts that open up for new opportunities in the growing market for functional ready-to-drink coffee and tea: a cold brew coffee that works as either a morning caffeine boost or a pre-workout and a refreshing tea, designed as the perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
Both concepts owe their high protein and calcium content to our Lacprodan MicelPure – a micellar casein isolate produced using gentle membrane filtration technology.
More and more young adults are asking for trendy, convenient drinks that deliver the nutritional boost they need – right when they need it. Just take a look at the latest forecast for functional, ready-to-drink (RTD) tea and coffee, which predicts year-on-year growth of between 6% and 7% up to 2026.
Lacprodan MicelPure is a micellar casein isolate that is rich in native proteins, and drawn from fresh Danish milk by gentle membrane filtration technology. That way, the protein remains in its purest form with minimal denaturation – and the nutritional benefits stay locked in.
RTD coffee – the pre-sports energizer

RTD tea – the healthy afternoon boost
