Koia and Whole Foods Market have launched a range of drinks that are suitable for people on a ketogenic diet.

Called Koia Keto, the dessert-inspired line is available in Chocolate Brownie, Cake Batter and Caramel Crème flavours.

Each drink is prepared with ingredients such as coconut milk and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil.

These high-fat and low-carb beverages are designed to provide sustained energy and help accelerate ketosis, the metabolic state that makes the body more efficient when burning fat for energy.

Koia Keto features a plant-based recipe that is packed with 12g of protein with no added sugar.

“Whole Foods Market recognises that the keto community is quickly growing and the need for easy access to products that follow the trending dietary guidelines.”

Koia co-founder and CEO of Chris Hunter said: “With consumers making healthy resolutions and incorporating new ways of eating into their New Year’s routines, we wanted to create something simple, convenient and full of flavour.

“We saw this as an opportunity to bring the keto community a single-serve, plant-powered protein option, as well as a new way to enjoy a sweet option that complies with their diet.

“Whole Foods Market also recognises that the keto community is quickly growing and the need for easy access to products that follow the trending dietary guidelines, which made Koia Keto a perfect fit.”

Currently, Koia Keto is exclusively available at Whole Foods Market and at DrinkKoia.com for $4.99.

All of the varieties are suitable for vegans, cotain non genetically modified organism (GMO) ingredients, and are free of dairy, soy and gluten.
