Even though the temps are still saying “summer,” taste buds are starting to say “autumn.” It’s already time to start daydreaming about delicious fall flavors that will land in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, and there’s no better place to get your fall fix than your morning cup of coffee. Keeping with the season, Danone North America is bringing back three fall-flavored Silk plant-based creamers—and introducing one new flavor too—and its SToK brand returns with pumpkin-flavored cold brew coffee. 

Nutpods, one of the fastest-growing brands of plant-based creamers in national retailers and a best-selling brand online, introduces its first naturally sweetened coffee creamers with zero sugar per serving. Retail partners Sprouts Farmers Markets and Wegmans will offer the Sweet Crème, French Vanilla, and Cookie Butter creamers in the 25.4oz refrigerated format with additional retailers joining the party later this fall. Sweet Crème, French Vanilla and Caramel will be available online in the 11.2oz shelf-stable format. 

SunOpta, a leading global company focused on plant-based foods and beverages, introduces SOWN, one of the first organic oat coffee creamers on the market, as demand for plant-based food and beverage options continues to soar. SOWN was recently named a finalist in the 2021 Natural Products Expo West Virtual NEXTY Awards.

Zero-sugar, dairy-free coffee creamer brand, nutpods, is releasing a new online-exclusive flavor collection called Nutpods Confections Collection--a three-pack of creamers composed of Toasted Marshmallow, Coconut Macaroon, and Cotton Candy flavors. Two of the three are already fan favorites but this is the first time the brand is releasing a cotton candy-flavored creamer.

The perfect morning cup of joe sets the tone for the day, but if you’re half asleep, nailing the creamer-to-coffee ratio is crucial. That’s why Silk, America’s #1 Plant-Based creamer brand, is introducing the Perfect Pour Mug, to help you get your ideal blend, every time. The interior of the mug will be painted to perfectly match your personalized coffee-creamer color. And best of all, each mug comes with free Silk plant-based creamer for the rest of the year.
