Plant-based beverage major Califia Farms has expanded its coffee and creamer portfolio with two limited-edition banana-inspired products: Simple & Organic Banana Crème Almond Creamer and Banana Crème Almondmilk Latte.
The limited-time offerings (LTOs) aim to capture consumer appetite for café-inspired, fruit-infused flavour profiles in home coffee routines. Formulated with real banana purée and engineered without added oils or stabilising gums, the product rollout enters US retail channels during the summer trading window.
Plant-Based Coffee Additives and RTD Formulation
The introduction of banana-flavoured coffee products reflects continuing flavour innovation across the alternative dairy and ready-to-drink (RTD) iced coffee segments. By introducing a fruit-forward profile into both its creamer and multi-serve latte formats, the business is targeting at-home barista occasions and afternoon refreshment.
Suzanne Ginestro, Chief Marketing Officer at Califia Farms, stated that the development strategy focused on combining clean-label plant-based ingredients with indulgent flavour profiles to deliver accessible, café-quality options for retail shoppers.
