Darigold is a major player in the dairy industry, being one of the nation’s largest dairy producers, thanks to its impressive network of about 250 family-owned farms across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Processing a staggering 10 billion pounds of milk annually, Darigold has established itself as a key player in retail, food service, commodity, and specialty markets. With 11 production facilities and a 12th on the horizon, the giant continues to expand its reach and influence.
There are several dairy-based products from Darigold that you can find in stores, none of which overly apply to the sprots nutrition industry, although that’s changed with its latest innovation. Darigold Protein Shake is an all-new beverage that packs a solid 30g of protein a bottle from ultrafiltered skim milk, 11g of carbohydrates, around half of that sugar, a gram of fat, and 170 calories. The carbs aren’t as lean as we would’ve liked, but it’s a strong offering coming from a mainstream name like Darigold, not to mention the extensive reach it has in stores with its other items.
The Darigold Protein Shake has debuted in two of the most traditional protein shake flavors in Chocolate and Vanilla, both with 30g of protein, which is boldly called out on the front of each bottle. Consumers can now purchase the protein-packed beverages through select retail partners and Amazon. The online giant sells cases of 12 bottles of the Darigold Protein Shake at $36, on par with many of its competitors, and it is available via Amazon Prime for members to ship completely free.
