This nutritional milkshake concept won last year’s Snackcelerator contest<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

From a California Milk Advisory Board news release<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) announced today the return of its dairy product innovation competition with the launch of the Real California Milk Snackcelerator to inspire new ideas integrating the flavor and functionality of California dairy into snack formulations that meet the needs of today\u2019s consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than $450,000 in awards, the Real California Milk Snackcelerator taps into the $605 billion global snack food market while combining two of California\u2019s great natural resources: High quality, sustainable dairy products and the insatiable California entrepreneurial spirit. The competition aims to inspire innovation and investment in dairy-based snack products, packaging and capacity within California by connecting the dots between processors, producers, investors, ideas and entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research shows that consumers are snacking more than ever before. According to Mondelez International, 59% of adults worldwide prefer snacking to meals with that number increasing to 70% for millennials. The Real California Milk Snackcelerator aims to uncover healthy, natural options to satisfy these cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDairy and snacking are natural partners. Not only do dairy foods make the perfect snack on their own, the flavor, nutritional profile and functionality of milk and other dairy products as ingredients are hard to duplicate. As consumers look for snacking options with natural ingredients that deliver something extra \u2013 whether a specific flavor profile or a boost of quality protein or other essential nutrients \u2013 product developers appreciate what dairy brings to the table,\u201d said John Talbot, CEO of the CMAB. \u201cThe goal of this competition is to tap into our global obsession with snacking to inspire new ideas and help clear the hurdles to bringing these products to market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural Real California Milk Accelerator event in 2019 brought nine innovative fluid milk startup finalists to a live pitch event and built the model for dairy product competitions. The 2019 winner, Bears Nutrition<\/a>, will launch its ready-to-drink milk-based nutritional shakes for children at retail test markets this fall along with companion \u201cImmunity Nourishment\u201d and \u201cBrain Booster\u201d milk powder-based nutritional shake mixes online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the Real California Milk Snackcelerator, the CMAB is seeking high-growth potential snack product concepts, with cow\u2019s milk dairy as their first ingredient and making up at least 50% of their formula. The startups will need to commit to producing the product in California, with milk from California dairy farms, should they win the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to eight (8) startups will receive $10,000 worth of support each, to develop an edible prototype, while receiving a suite of resources including graphic design, lab or kitchen time and elite mentorship from global marketing, packaging, and distribution experts. They also will receive a business development trip (or virtual equivalent) to tour dairy farms and production facilities and to meet with industry leaders to help drive success of their new venture. The winner will receive up to $200,000 worth of additional support to get their new product to market. The value of the competition prize is $450,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VentureFuel, Inc.<\/a>, the leading corporate innovation consultancy, is again partnering with CMAB to run the program and to identify the best emerging opportunities from their global network of investors, founders and academics. \u201cOur first program with CMAB proved the value of marrying innovation and dairy as we were able to bring delicious and diverse products to market quickly, while providing founders unprecedented mentorship and access to accelerate their success,\u201d said Fred Schonenberg, Founder of VentureFuel, Inc. \u201cCMAB\u2019s continued commitment to product innovation now will inspire great new snacks for consumers to enjoy and further increase the demand for California Dairy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
