New Orange Cream, Cookies & Cream and Vanilla Cream flavors bring variety, nutrition and excitement to school cafeterias
Maola Local Dairies® today announced the launch of new Limited-Time Offer flavored school milks for the 2026–2027 school year, giving school nutrition teams fresh, fun options designed to help students enjoy the nutritional benefits of dairy.
The new lineup will feature three rotating flavors throughout the school year: Orange Cream, Cookies & Cream and Vanilla Cream. Each flavor is designed to bring variety and excitement to the cafeteria while supporting school meal participation and helping reduce milk waste.
Each carton delivers 8 grams of protein, 13 essential nutrients and only 7 grams of added sugar. The products are also 100% dye free, made with natural flavors, and produced with fresh, local milk from Maola’s family-owned farms.
The announcement comes as schools continue to offer nutritious milk options that meet evolving nutrition standards. Current federal school meal guidance allows schools to offer low-fat and fat-free flavored and unflavored milk to K–12 students, while industry efforts continue to reduce added sugars in flavored school milk. About 2/3 of all school milk sales nationally are flavored, with studies showing offering flavored milk to students also reduces food waste[1][2].
As a farmer-owned dairy, Maola is proud to partner with school nutrition professionals who work every day to provide healthy, appealing meals for students. In addition to the new limited-time flavors, Maola also offers lactose-free milk options to help schools serve a broader range of student needs.
Maola’s new flavored school milks will be available on a limited-time and regional basis throughout the 2026–2027 school year. School nutrition teams interested in learning more should contact their Maola sales representative or emailus@maolamilk.com for more information.
