What happens when two college friends have a love for milk, but are lactose-intolerant? They create a tasty, lactose-free milk brand called Slate. Millennials Josh Belinsky and Manny Lubin are now ready to pitch their low sugar, high protein dairy product to the sharks on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank. In light of their pitch tonight, we’ve got 5 facts on their chocolate milk, including how it came to be. Keep reading below for all the details.
1) Manny and Josh love chocolate milk, but they needed something that was lactose-free that also tasted delicious. Enter: Slate Chocolate Milk.
2) Their product is low in sugar (only 9 grams), and high in protein (17 grams). It’s a nutritious and delicious drink, which is something that fills in gaps for easy, on-the-go healthy beverages.
3) Flavors include: classic (milk chocolate, aka: chocolate milk), dark (darker chocolate milk), and espresso (chocolate milk with a hint of mocha). They come in individual or variety packs of 12.
4) Another unique feature of their product? The sleek design. Slate chocolate milk comes in tan tinned cans, which are stylized in neutral colors and crisp typography to make it look clean and sophisticated. Yeah, it’s not anything like those traditional Yoohoo milk bottles!
5) Their Amazon reviews are quite decent, at an average of almost 4/5 stars. Customers who have bought the drink say it’s both tasty and healthy. Win-win!
You can see Josh and Manny pitch Slate Chocolate Milk tonight on ABC’s Shark Tank. We wish them luck and we’ll have to see if a shark will bite!
