FOR RELEASE: 20 JULY 2026
GROUNDED Launches 8.5 fl oz “Pocket Protein” M*lkshakes Nationwide at Sprouts
New snack-sized M*lkshakes deliver 10g of protein and 165 calories in a portable 8.5 fl oz bottle
UNITED STATES — July 20, 2026 — GROUNDED Shakes has launched its new 8.5 fl oz M*lkshakes nationwide at all Sprouts Farmers Market stores across the United States (490+).
Available in GROUNDED’s flagship M*lk Chocolate and Mint Choc Chip flavors, the new format has been created for consumers who want their everyday snack to do more.
GROUNDED is taking the protein shake beyond traditional fitness occasions and positioning it as a better alternative to everyday snacks such as chocolate bars, chips and cookies.
The new bottles use the same real-ingredients recipe and deliver the same smooth, creamy taste as GROUNDED’s original 16 fl oz shakes, now in a smaller format designed to fit easily into a bag, lunchbox or pocket. Designed as tasty protein you can throw in your bag and enjoy on the go, the launch brings GROUNDED’s “Pocket Protein” idea to life.
Each shake contains 10g of protein, 165 calories and 2.3g of fiber. Made with real cane sugar and no artificial sweeteners, the shakes are dairy-free, made without seed oils, and suitable for vegans.
The launch is built around a simple message: Snack Smarter.
“We kept seeing people choose GROUNDED instead of conventional snacks that left them hungry or crashing an hour later,” said Gabriel Bean, co-founder of GROUNDED Shakes.
“Our new 8.5 fl oz M*lkshakes take everything people already love about our original shakes — the taste, real ingredients and smooth, creamy texture — and put it into a smaller format for everyday snacking. Each bottle delivers 10g of protein. It’s simply an easier, more delicious way to snack smarter and fuel your day.”
Consumer demand for convenient, better-for-you protein snacks has continued to grow, creating an opportunity for GROUNDED to introduce its shakes to a wider audience. The smaller format provides a more accessible entry point to the brand while maintaining its focus on taste, real ingredients and everyday functionality.
“Launching this range nationwide with Sprouts is a major step for GROUNDED,” said Bryn Ferris, co-founder of GROUNDED Shakes.
“This format expands the role our shakes can play in consumers’ daily routines and opens the brand to a broader, more casual snacking audience. Securing a national listing across all Sprouts stores at launch shows the strength of both the product and the opportunity.”
GROUNDED’s new 8.5 fl oz M*lkshakes began rolling into all Sprouts Farmers Market stores nationwide last week. Both M*lk Chocolate and Mint Choc Chip are available at a recommended retail price of $3.49 per bottle.
Consumers can find their nearest store at the Sprouts Farmers Market website (sprouts.com).
