Each 11oz can offers 30g of protein along with essential vitamins and minerals and just 1g of sugar. Lactose-free Nurri is made with ultra-filtered milk and flavors include Chocolate and Vanilla (with Strawberry coming soon per the brand website). Another new face in shelf-stable, milk-based beverages is todo (Spanish for "everything") from DIYO Inc., Dover, Del. Todo was one of four pitch competition finalists selected for an incubator cohort by The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) and VentureFuel. A 12oz todo contains 25g complete milk protein, 6g of dietary fiber, 21 vitamins and minerals, prebiotics, antioxidants and adaptogens, the company says. The debut Berry flavor can serve as a gut health or breakfast smoothie, a high fiber, high protein or meal replacement shake. Lactose remained target last year. Prairie Farms Dairy, Edwardsville, Ill., went big with what it called the "Gold Standard" of lactose free whole and 2% reduced fat milks in a full gallon size. Garelick Farms, Franklin, Mass.

Clover Sonoma, Petaluma, Calif., refreshed its Organic Lactose Free line with half gallons of Whole Milk and 2% Reduced Fat varieties; as well as quarts of 2% Reduced Fat in Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate flavors. On the subject of flavored milks, Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) had fun creating specialty milks with its TruMoo brand. Last April, TrueMoo Blue Milk (vanilla flavor) was available exclusively at STAR WARS: Galaxy's Edge in Disney Parks and then for a limited time in local dairy departments. This January, DFA partnered with Disney once again for Disney Moana Strawberry Banana Lowfat Milk. The limited-edition milk cam to the dairy aisle on the heels of holiday box office hit Walt Disney Animation Studios' Moana 2.
