Startup CPG Newswire:
The first flavored milk with hidden vegetables launches as solution for picky eaters

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Ashley Waldman for Jubilee’s Flavored Milk

AUSTIN, TX (February 1, 2025) – 70% of US families struggle to get their kids to eat healthy*, which rightfully so, causes parents a lot of anxiety due to the long-term impact of poor nutrition on health and developmental progress**.
Jubilee’s – the first flavored milk sweetened exclusively with fruit and vegetables (patent pending) – launches this February to provide relief to this important problem. An Austin mom of two toddlers, and marathon runner, created it after struggling to get her picky eaters enough daily vitamins.

“The American Heart Association and American Dietary Guidelines*** recommend kids get between 2-3 glasses of milk per day, but my girls just didn’t like the taste. We tried conventional flavored milk, but couldn’t believe how much sugar was in it,” said founder Ashley Waldman, who’s dad has owned a beverage company for more than 20 years.

The USDA even threatened to ban flavored milk from schools, but compromised by imposing new requirements for added sugar. Jubilee’s has 0 added sugar, and 50% (or even less) sugar overall than conventional flavored milks, plus high protein and vitamins.

Vegetable juice and no sugar aren’t the only reasons Jubilee’s is more nutritious than conventional flavored milk. The drink contains 45-100% Vitamin C (vs 0% in regular milk) from a special cherry extract called “Acerola”, as well as 110% Vitamin D (vs ~15% in regular milk) from an algae-based vitamin D.

“I knew Jubilee’s had to be delicious for my girls to drink it, which is why I chose dessert flavors such as chocolate chip cookie and strawberry shortcake,” Waldman said.

The product launches at the same time as whole milk and organic milk sales increase and plant-based milk shrinks by more than 5%. Consumers are returning to milk after many years of decreases as interest in natural micros and “functional beverages” rises.
