Updated 2020! In the last few years, Koia has launched energizing Coffee Drinks, low carb Keto Drinks, and adaptogen-enhanced Oat Milk DrinksĀ . But we shouldn’t forget about the classic line of Koia Protein Drinks. Unlike the others, these are made with an almond milk base, and have a whopping 18 grams of protein per bottle. They’re also sweetened with a dash of organic cane sugar and a pinch of monk fruit extract (no stevia) to keep a low sugar profile.
Koia Protein Drinks are Plant Powered in a Rainbow of Low Sugar Flavors
Koia Protein Drinks originally launched in three creamy, dairy-free flavors: Vanilla Bean, Cacao Bean, and Coconut Almond. They have since added four more choices. So we’ve updated this post with all of the current varieties and information.

RE: Panera:
Their plant based additions to their menus is simply a greek salad, HOLD THE FETA CHEESE AND THE DRESSING. That’s it.
Lot of hype for nothing.
I think maybe you didn’t scroll down on the menu. There are actual numerous options including a couple different salads, soup, and more.
