Company Background

In late 2017, Co-Founders Manny and Josh teamed up to help give chocolate milk a clean slate. After a successful Kickstarter, an appearance on Shark Tank, and two years of R&D, Slate launched in late 2019. What began as an idea to make healthier chocolate milk has quickly evolved into a strength and energy brand that sells high protein milks and lattes in thousands of stores, and nationwide online. As a Plastic Neutral business, we’re on a mission to create all natural, high protein products that are better for our bodies and our planet.
