US plant-based beverage brand Whole Moon has introduced a new coconut milk product claimed to be the ‘first ever’ to use whole coconut meat without creams or oils.

The product is crafted using a unique method that blends whole-roasted almonds, oats, pistachios, soya beans and coconut meat. This results in a beverage with a ‘rich, slightly nutty flavour and full-bodied texture,’ the brand said in a statement announcing the launch.

Whole Moon’s new coconut milk can be enjoyed as a beverage on its own, as well as for blending and enhancing recipes. It joins other flavours in the milk alternative range including almond, oat and pistachio.

All of the brand’s products are made with whole ingredients to reduce waste while retaining naturally occurring protein, fibre and essential nutrients. They deliver a complete protein source, including all nine essential amino acid, derived from the process of using the whole soya bean.

In addition to being dairy-free and vegan, the range is also low in sugar, kosher, gluten-free and non-GMO, with no artificial additives.

Susan Knight, president of Whole Moon, said: “We're thrilled to offer consumers the first coconut milk made from whole coconut meat – no creams, no oils, just pure, whole ingredients”.

She added: “This addition to our lineup stays true to our mission of delivering whole protein nutrition and a rich, satisfying taste in every sip. It's exactly what consumers love and what we're known for.”

Whole Moon’s products are launching nationwide at Sprouts this month (February 2025), and are already available at other retailers across the US including ShopRite, Fairway, Central Markets and more.
