Now available on Amazon, with Retail Expansion Underway
SEATTLE, April 7, 2025 – Darigold, Inc., one of the nation’s largest dairy producers, is expanding its product lineup with the launch of Darigold Protein Shakes. Available in chocolate and vanilla, each shake delivers 30 grams 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.
“For us, every day is an adventure to be savored – whether it’s the dash to the next soccer game, impromptu dance party, or catching the last few minutes of a perfect sunset – and Darigold is your go-to sidekick to make those moments better,” said Boyd Tubbs, Marketing Director at Darigold. “To delightfully fuel your daily adventures, our new Protein Shakes are made with deliciously smooth real milk and other real ingredients, taste great, and provide the nutrition people need to fuel their everyday lives.”
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).
Darigold Protein Shakes are now available nationwide at Amazon.com as well as select retailers.
