A tropical twist on juice
Califia Farms is making waves with its all-new Creamy Refreshers, a fun and fruity take on plant-based drinks. These aren’t your average juices—they’re creamy, dreamy, and totally dairy-free.
- Way less sugar – 8g-10g per serving (compared to 24g+ in traditional juice!).
- Smooth & sippable – Coconut cream makes every sip silky.
- Four refreshing flavors – Perfect for poolside lounging or mid-day pick-me-ups.
- Now available nationwide – Grab one at $5.99 a bottle.
- Making a splash at Coachella – Featured at The 818 Outpost with Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila.
But why are drinks like this taking over store shelves? Because consumers—especially Gen Z and millennials—want healthier, cleaner alternatives that still taste amazing.
Less sugar, more yum!
The U.S. juice market is booming, expected to hit $3.35 billion in 2025. But today’s shoppers want more than just juice—they want healthier, lower-sugar options that don’t skimp on flavor. That’s where Creamy Refreshers shine.
- Mindful indulgence is in – Consumers crave treats that are fun and functional.
- Gen Z & millennials love juice – Social media is filled with influencer-favorite bevvies.
- Less sugar, more transparency – Ingredient-conscious shoppers are reading labels more than ever.
- Dairy-free on the rise – More shoppers are choosing plant-based options.
As Suzanne Ginestro, CMO of Califia Farms, puts it: “Today’s consumer embraces mindful indulgences, and we’re proud to bring a new little sweet treat to retail shelves.”
Sip the tropics
With plant-based, low-sugar drinks taking over, suppliers and manufacturers need to stay ahead of the trend:
- Coconut cream & fruit juice – Expect a surge in demand for clean-label, functional ingredients.
- Bulk buyers, take note – Retailers and wholesalers should stock up on healthier beverage options.
- Room for innovation – More brands will jump on dairy-free, functional drink formulas.
This also means co-packers and private-label manufacturers should pay close attention to ingredient sourcing. As more brands compete for better-for-you beverage options, those who supply high-quality coconut cream and premium fruit juices will be in high demand.
Califia’s creamy refreshers are game-changers!
Califia Farms’ Creamy Refreshers aren’t just another new drink—they’re a sign of where the industry is going. Today’s consumers are making it clear: they want health-conscious beverages that don’t compromise on taste. The rise of dairy-free, low-sugar, and clean-label drinks is set to reshape the juice market, creating new opportunities for brands, suppliers, and retailers.
The future of juice includes:
- Lower sugar, higher function – Beverages with added benefits like vitamins, probiotics, and adaptogens are growing fast.
- Plant-based everything – Dairy-free is no longer a niche—it’s the norm.
- Sustainable sourcing – Consumers care about where ingredients come from.
- More innovation – Expect new flavors, textures, and ingredients in the beverage space.
