Vegan Latte Giveaway at Booskerdoo Coffee & Baking Co. Locations
Tuesday, April 20
To celebrate the introduction of a new plant-based milk, this coffee company is giving away free vegan lattes while supplies last. Sproud, a Swedish plant-based milk made with pea protein, will now be available at Booskerdoo locations in New Jersey. Sproud claims that, unlike other plant-based milks, the product froths up—making it a perfect addition to cappuccinos and lattes. The giveaway will begin at 6 am at locations in Red Bank, Holmdel, Fair Haven, Monmouth Beach and Asbury Park.
