RTD plant-based protein beverage Koia will now be sold in 1,200 Publix Super Market stores across the southeastern US.

Los Angeles-based Koia launched in Whole Foods stores in 2016 and has quickly grown to be a market leader in healthy RTD beverages. Each 12 oz. bottle contains 18g of plant protein varieties (almonds, pea, brown rice and hemp) and just 4g of sugar with no artificial ingredients.

The drink comes in five flavors, and Vanilla Bean, Cacao Bean, Coconut Almond and Cinnamon Horchata will be available at Publix.

Koia is already sold in more than 3,000 US stores, including Whole Foods, Wegmans, Earth Origins Market, Natural Grocers and Stop & Shop.

Co-founder and CEO Chris Hunter said, “Consumers looking for cleaner protein options shouldn’t have to compromise on taste, excess sugars or artificial ingredients. We are as conscious about what we put into Koia as what we keep out to provide a craveable but healthy beverage that we are proud to bring to Publix’s shoppers.”
