The latest food and beverage industry news and trend analysis

Nutritionally enriched milk drink brand Nurishment, owned by Grace Foods UK, has expanded its commercial portfolio with the launch of an all-new Coffee Caramel flavour.

Rolling out to grocery multiples, discount banners, and independent wholesale channels across the United Kingdom, the line extension combines coffee and caramel notes with 20 grams of dairy protein and 13 essential vitamins and minerals. Merchandised in a ready-to-drink single-serve format, the product is engineered to serve active consumers, students, and trade workers seeking functional on-the-go nourishment and daytime energy.

The product introduction arrives as the UK ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee sector continues to show sustained expansion. Valued at more than £410 million in 2026, the domestic RTD coffee category is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% through 2030, according to data from Mordor Intelligence.

Formulation and Portfolio

The new SKU merges traditional coffee taste notes with the brand’s established micronutrient-dense formulation:

☕ Coffee Caramel: Blends brewed coffee flavouring and smooth caramel with an enriched dairy base, providing 20g of protein, calcium, and 13 essential vitamins and minerals per single-serve can.

The release marks the brand's latest effort to bridge functional protein nutrition with mainstream iced coffee profiles. The launch joins Nurishment's established core lineup, which encompasses Original varieties in Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Banana, alongside its Fusion platform, which includes Blueberry Swirl and Hazelnut Swirl variants.

Formulating ready-to-drink milk beverages with fortified micronutrients provides a multi-functional alternative to standard RTD iced coffees that typically offer limited protein or nutritional benefits.

Availability

Having operated in the United Kingdom for more than 40 years, Nurishment maintains deep commercial distribution across independent convenience stores, petrol forecourts, and cash-and-carry wholesalers.

The brand owner is executing an omnichannel commercial distribution strategy across major retail supermarket banners and independent trade networks:

Supermarket and Multi-Price Retail: Available at Tesco at a recommended retail price (RRP) of £1.65, alongside retail distribution via Home Bargains and Farmfoods.

Wholesale and Cash-and-Carry Channels: Commercial supply through major national and regional wholesalers, including Dhamecha Cash & Carry and Lioncroft Wholesale.

Independent Convenience: Supplying local symbol groups and independent convenience operators nationwide.

Deploying the launch across both grocery multiples and regional cash-and-carry networks allows the manufacturer to secure volume in urban impulse chillers while catering to price-sensitive retail shoppers navigating the front-of-store meal deal and grab-and-go fixtures.
