Ripple is built on the truth that even the smallest actions can have far reaching impacts.
When you choose Ripple, you are creating positive impacts that ripple through our world. As a Certified B corp, we are dedicated to building our business as a force for good. These are some of the real-time impacts of Ripple to date... or as we like to call it, the Ripple Effect.
Ripple is built on the truth that even the smallest actions can have far-reaching impacts. We think good food should be simple. And for food to be good, it should taste great, nourish your body and leave a small footprint on our Earth.
Ripple is dairy-free as it should be, which is nutritious and delicious. We believe that the recipe for healthy living is actually really easy. Maybe you’re trying to eat a few more vegetables or a little less meat. Whatever the choice and no matter how small, the great thing about those little choices is that they all add up. Changing the way you eat can have a ripple effect on how you live. We don’t claim that making plant-based foods will change the world...but we think it could help.
At Ripple, we believe that little changes can add up to big results. Whether you’re trying to get a little more protein, eat less sugar, or leave a lighter footprint on Earth, those things you do every day add up, and create a ripple effect on your health and the health of our world.

Ripple was founded to make the world a better place. Improving sustainability in the industry is central to Ripple’s design and company ethos. One pound of yellow split peas produces less than 1/3 of a pound of CO2e. For comparison, a gallon of dairy milk produces 17.6 lbs of CO2e. And it takes 1000 gallons of water to make just 1 gallon of dairy milk and nearly 6x more water to get the same amount of protein from almond milk than it does from our flagship product Ripple Milk. Ripple products are by far the best option for consumers who want to make healthier, eco-friendly choices.
Absolutely. Ripple Milk and Half and Half bottles are made from PET plastic, and since PET is one of the most recycled plastics in America, they can be recycled. Ripple On The Go Milk cartons, 32oz Shelf-Stable Milk packages, and Protein Shake cartons are recyclable in the significant majority of households in the U.S. Ripple Protein Shake bottles are made from HDPE #2 plastic, which is also widely recyclable across the country. Our Ripple product caps are #5 plastic, polypropylene, for recycling purposes. Check with your local recycling center to find out the guidelines for your area.
PET is one of the most widely recycled plastics in America, with more than 94% of U.S. households having access to PET recycling. Why not glass, you may ask? Glass actually has a significantly higher carbon footprint than our PET bottles. Glass blowing takes a lot of energy, and because glass is heavy, it takes much more fuel to distribute. And milk cartons include a thin coating of plastic which is not recyclable.
Ripple products are made from the protein of yellow split peas which provides a higher protein content than dairy alternatives such as almond and coconut milk.
Peas are best grown in cold weather climates that have a lot of natural rainfall, so they need little or no irrigation. The majority of Ripple’s peas are sourced from the U.S. Midwest and Canada. Occasionally we supplement with peas from Europe. No matter where we source our peas from, we always ensure that our high quality standards are met.
Most Ripple products are already Non-GMO Project Verified as indicated by the seal on our labels. All of our newest products are in the process of being verified. The Non-GMO Project is a non-profit collaboration of manufacturers, retailers, farmers, and consumers dedicated to ensuring the availability of non-GMO foods and beverages. Their seal gives shoppers the assurance that a product has completed a comprehensive third-party verification for compliance with the Non-GMO Project Standard.
No, Ripple products do not contain carrageenan.
Ripple uses only cane sugar as a sweetener in our Original and flavored milks and in our Kids Milk. In addition to cane sugar, our Ripple Nutrition Protein Shakes are also sweetened with monk fruit, a calorie-free plant-based sweetener. And we have several unsweetened options in our product line for those who prefer no added sugar or sweetening.
In most of our products, including our milks, we use high oleic sunflower and/or safflower oil. These oils contain 6 times fewer omega 6s than most conventional oils and are nutritionally very similar to olive oil. Our oils are expeller pressed which means no chemicals were used to extract the oil from the seed.
Ripple’s natural flavors are vegan, contain no artificial sweeteners and colors, and no MSG. We work with a small group of suppliers to develop natural flavors from botanical extracts and natural essences that create delicious plant-based products. The recipes for these natural flavors are closely guarded by our partners, so we cannot share the details of our formulations, but all the ingredients we use are safe and approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Still not finding Ripple near your home? We are working hard to build out our distribution. In the meantime, if you want to see Ripple products available in your local store, please ask them to carry us! Simply print out this form and give it to a dairy manager.
Currently all our products are sold throughout the United States, and our milks are also available in Canada. For other countries, we don’t have a timeline in place just yet. We launched Ripple Milk in the US in 2016, and we still have a lot of work to do here in North America before we can focus on international expansion, but it is certainly a goal of ours to bring Ripple products to other regions of the world.
Ripple Milk and Ripple Kids Milk can be found in the refrigerated section alongside other dairy milk alternatives.
On The Go Milk and 32oz Shelf-Stable Milk are both located in the shelf-stable aisles alongside juice-boxes or with shelf-stable milks. They are also sold through online retailers including the Ripple Shop.
Ripple Half & Half can be found in the refrigerated section near coffee creamers.
Ripple Protein Shakes can be found in the nutritional supplements section. They are also sold through online retailers including the Ripple Shop.
Ripple is a nutritious plant-based milk that is a good source of protein, lower in sugar than dairy milk, and delicious. With eight times the protein of almond milk, 50% more calcium, and less than half the sugar of dairy milk in our Original flavor, Ripple’s creamy, smooth taste is perfect for people who believe that nourishing the body is the first step to nourishing the soul. Ripple is made without soy, nuts, lactose, gluten and carrageenans and it is Non-GMO Project verified. Ripple Milk is currently available in Original, Unsweetened Original, Vanilla, Unsweetened Vanilla and Chocolate flavors.
Ripple’s refrigerated products will stay fresh in your refrigerator until the date printed on the bottle. Once opened, they should be consumed within 7-10 days. It is not unusual for Ripple Milk to remain good past the 10-day mark; however, we only guarantee that it will be good for 7-10 days once opened.
We don’t recommend it. Although freezing does not affect their safety or nutritional value, Ripple products could change in texture once thawed. However, Ripple Milk works great in frozen dessert recipes! Please visit our recipe blog for some inspiration.
Yes, it’s perfectly fine to warm Ripple Milk just as you would dairy milk.
No, BPA isn’t used in the production of any Ripple packaging.
Ripple refrigerated Milk, Ripple Kids Milk, Oatmilk+Protein, 32oz Shelf Stable Milk and Half and Half are certified Kosher by KOF-K.
No, our products are not designed to be a replacement for breast milk or infant formula.
Enjoy it just like you would enjoy dairy milk. Ripple Milk is delicious consumed on its own, in cereal, in your coffee or tea, in smoothies and as a replacement for dairy, soy, or nut milks. Ripple Milk is also great for cooking, and you can use exactly the same amount of Ripple in recipes as dairy milk.

Ripple Kids Milk was developed with Pediatricians to deliver key nutrients specific for growing kids. In addition to the 8g of plant-based protein from peas, Ripple Kids has 50mg DHA, choline, and prebiotic fiber for growing bodies, along with many of the essential nutrients found in dairy milk - calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, and vitamins A, D, and B12. It is made without soy, nuts, lactose, gluten and carrageenans and it is Non-GMO Project verified. And most important, it delivers the same creamy and delicious taste kids love! Ripple Kids Milk is currently available in Original flavor.
No, our products are not designed to be a replacement for breast milk or infant formula.
Generally, mothers begin introducing dairy or nondairy milk to their babies around the age of 12 months. For practical advice, talk to your baby’s pediatrician.
One serving of Kids Milk contains 55mg choline, 50mg DHA and 2g of fiber-based prebiotics.
Ripple Kids is supplemented with DHA, a long chain omega-3 fatty acid. It is a structural component of human membrane and the predominant omega-3 found in the brain recognized as essential for normal brain function. Childhood is a period of brain growth and maturation which requires adequate levels of DHA to support that growth. Some studies show improvements in cognition and behavior as the result of supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids including DHA.
Our DHA is from plant-based (algae) algal oil and is vegan.
Each 8oz serving of Ripple Kids contains a total of 8g fat. The majority of the fat in Ripple Kids is considered ‘healthy fat’, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, with 6g monounsaturated fat, 1g polyunsaturated fat, 1g saturated fat, zero trans-fat. These ‘healthy fats' are key for brain and nerve growth, especially for toddlers.
Choline is classified as an essential nutrient, which means it must be derived from the food we eat. It has a vital role in cellular growth and metabolism and research has suggested that the interactions between choline and DHA support roles in brain and eye health. Our bodies can make choline, but not in sufficient quantity to maintain health.
The prebiotics in Ripple Kids are soluble fibers that act as food for the healthy microbes (beneficial bacteria) in the gut. They confer a health benefit to children by helping promote a healthy gut and have also been associated with the absorption of calcium, for building bones.
The prebiotics we use is a soluble corn fiber. It is much easier on the stomach than fiber from agave, sunchokes or chicory root.
Probiotics are the actual beneficial bacteria themselves whereas prebiotics are nutrients that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. Both are beneficial to health, but recent studies have suggested that the consumption of prebiotics through a balanced diet may be a better way to achieve long term success in achieving a healthy gut microbiome.
No. The processing method used in order to provide a safe product does not allow for the addition of probiotics.
Yes, the prebiotics come from a soluble corn fiber and there is a very small amount of corn in one of the natural flavors in our Kids Milk.
Yes, Ripple Kids is Non-GMO Project verified.
Yes, Ripple Kids Milk certified Kosher by KOF-K.
No, BPA isn’t used in the production of any Ripple packaging.
Each serving of Ripple Oatmilk+Protein has 6 grams of protein – three times as much as other Oat Milks. And it has half the sugar of dairy milk. Ripple has made creamy, delicious oat milk even more nutritious.
Ripple Oatmilk+Protein contains 16g of carbohydrates from oats. The majority of these carbohydrates (10g) are considered complex carbohydrates and break down slowly. The 6g of sugar (simple carbohydrates) are created from the processing of the oats.
We do not add cane sugar to Ripple Oatmilk+Protein, but there are sugars created during the processing of the oats which help provide just the right amount of natural sweetness to Ripple Oatmilk+protein.
Yes, Ripple Oatmilk+Protein is a creamy, delicious addition to your favorite coffee drink.
Yes, Ripple Oatmilk+Protein is made with gluten-free oats.

You can see a comparison chart here. These single-serve cartons are shelf-stable, which makes them very convenient for lunchboxes and days spent on-the-go for kids and adults. Ripple On The Go Milk comes in Original, Vanilla and Chocolate flavors.

Convenience! Ripple 32oz Shelf Stable Milk offers a convenient way to stock up on Ripple. Store it in your pantry for when you need it. Its nutritional profile is very similar to our flagship Ripple 48oz refrigerated Milk, with the same creamy, satisfying taste. It contains the same high quality pea protein isolate, and provides Vitamin D, Calcium, Potassium, Vitamin A and B12. As with our On The Go Milks, we added Riboflavin and Magnesium to our 32oz Original and Chocolate Shelf-Stable Milks to meet USDA requirements for milk alternatives in schools and daycare centers. There are other very slight nutritional differences between the refrigerated and shelf-stable milks. You can see a comparison chart here.

Ripple Protein Shakes were not formulated with all the necessary nutrients and calories to serve as a meal replacement. They are a healthy snack and a great way to boost your protein intake.
While Ripple Protein Shakes were not formulated for toddler nutrition, there should be nothing harmful for little ones in the product.
