CREATING A PROTEIN BUZZ

Gregorys Coffee, in collaboration with global protein leader, Nuzest, unveiled its newest offering: Protein Buzz. The first of Gregorys’ protein coffee creations, Protein Buzz includes 18 grams of plant-based protein and a clean ingredient lineup, including cold brew, Nuzest Clean Lean Protein (Vanilla), peanut butter, coconut water and date syrup. The protein coffee drink is designed to keep "Gregulars" fueled through their busiest days, the New York-based company says.

RINGING IN THE HOLIDAYS

With crisp air and falling leaves marking the arrival of autumn and the holiday season around the corner, Darigold Inc., the marketing and processing subsidiary of Northwest Dairy Association (NDA), is releasing its Old Fashioned and Classic Eggnog varieties. Made with cage-free eggs, milk and cream from nearly 250 NDA member farms, the Old Fashioned contains natural flavors with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger, while the more traditional Classic combines the rich flavor of custard with hints of nutmeg, the Seattle-based company says. They will be widely available at grocery stores, membership warehouse stores, and convenience stores.

A SPRINKLE OF JOY

JonnyPops launched Unicorn Twist Organic Enchanted Fruit Punch pops and Freeze Dried Minis, freeze dried pops on a stick. The pops are available in Fruit Punch, Cherry, Orange, Lemonade, Green Apple and Blue Raspberry. Unicorn Twist Pops also introduce JonnyPops' first round stick, printed with uniquely magical kind deeds like "Sprinkle joy today!" and "Give a magical compliment!" Fans can even save their sticks to earn limited-edition "Kindness is Golden" rewards, including a Unicorn Plush Toy and Unicorn Brick Kit, the Elk River, Minn.-based company says. The frozen treats are exclusively available at Kroger and Kroger Banner Stores nationwide.

GUILT-FREE INDULGENCE

Yasso, a brand of Magnum Ice Cream Co., is bringing fans a new way to dig in: Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt. Target shoppers are the first to try it, which delivers on both taste and nutrition, thanks to Yasso's creamy Greek yogurt. Available in five spoonable flavors, Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Fudge Brownie, Cookies 'n Cream and Coffee Chip, each 14-ounce pack contains up to 19 grams of protein and approximately 400 calories per container, with no artificial colors, flavors, or sugar alcohols, the company says.

WACKY, WONDERFUL VIRAL SENSATION

After making national headlines and becoming Dairy Foods magazine's "2025 Dairy Product of the Year," Skyline Spice Ice Cream made its triumphant return. In partnership with Cincinnati-based Skyline Chili and National Chilli Month in October, Graeter’s Ice Cream re-released the sweet, savory frozen treat. Made with Graeter's ultra-small batch French Pot ice cream with crunchy oyster crackers and Skyline's legendary chili spice blend, this innovation creation became Graeter's most talked-about and fastest-selling flavor in Graeter's long history. Graeter’s Skyline Spice Ice Cream will be available until it runs out for a suggested retail price of $6.99 for a 16-ounce pint.

GETTING THE SCOOP

Protein Pints unveiled two new flavors: Cookies & Cream and Coffee. Cookies & Cream combines crunchy chocolate shortbread cookie crumbles with a creamy, protein-rich base featuring fresh cream and subtle hints of vanilla and cocoa. The Coffee flavor is crafted with medium-roast Colombian beans for nutty, roasty notes balanced by a silky, high-protein base. Each pint has 30 grams of protein and 85% less sugar than traditional ice cream, and just 120 to 160 calories per serving, the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based company says. The new flavors are available in Kroger’s top-tier west coast stores, including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, QFC, and Food 4 Less as well as Target, Safeway and Jewel-Osco.

The Love Your Gut Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is available for a limited time at all Erewhon Market locations.

ALL THE WAY WITH WHEY

Pure Vita Labs (PVL), a family-owned Canadian sports nutrition provider, introduced Can-Whey. The powdered product delivers 20 grams of clean protein per serving, supporting steady energy and blood sugar balance with a creamy, milkshake-inspired taste. Available in nostalgic Vanilla Milkshake and Chocolate Milkshake flavors, Can-Whey mixes smoothly into the perfect shake. It also blends concentrated whey and microfiltered milk protein, enriched with chromium, B6, and B12 for balanced energy and blood sugar control. Certified by Informed Choice and verified by the Dairy Farmers of Canada Blue Cow Logo, it's rigorously tested for purity, the company says.

TIME TO THR5VE

Midland Farms launched Thr5ve 1.5 Low-Fat Milk, a milk product enriched with DHA Omega-3s for health benefits and fortified with skim powder providing enhanced flavor and mouth feel, along with vitamins A and D, the Menands, N.Y., company says.
