MMPA’s partnership with Nurri

MMPA’s partnership with Nurri plays a crucial role in the milk shake brand’s ability to deliver best-in-class products. MMPA’s ultrafiltered milk is essential in ensuring that Nurri products meet high standards of protein content and taste. Thanks to ultrafiltration, the protein milk shakes contain a concentrated source of dairy protein with reduced sugar, making them an attractive option for consumers seeking functional beverages that fit an active lifestyle.

“Our partnership with Nurri showcases the incredible potential of ultrafiltered milk to meet today’s consumer needs for high-protein, low-sugar products,” said Molly Costaris, MMPA Director of Sales. ” ‘Working with Nurri has allowed us to bring a great-tasting, functional product to market that highlights the versatility and value of our milk.”

With MMPA’s support, Nurri has demonstrated unmatched speed in both product development and market delivery, giving it a competitive edge in the ready-to-drink (RTD) protein beverage space.

Commitment to Sustainability and Future Growth

In line with MMPA’s commitment to sustainable practices, Nurri’s milk shakes are packaged in 100% recyclable aluminum cans and are crafted with sustainably sourced ingredients. This focus on sustainability resonates with today’s environmentally conscious consumers, making Nurri an appealing choice for customers looking to make more sustainable product selections.

Looking to the future, Nurri aims to diversify its product offerings with the development of additional ultrafiltered milk-based RTD beverages. The company is also considering expansion into additional retail channels, building on its successful launch in Costco.
