Goleta-based Kate Farms, the top doctor-recommended plant-based brand, announced the continued national retail expansion of its High Protein Nutrition Shake, including expanded distribution at Walmart and a new launch into CVS. 

The foundational nutrition brand also unveiled Vanilla, the newest flavor in its growing HPNS lineup, according to the July 28 press release.

Known for its clinically developed nutrition products used in more than 1,500 hospitals and medical settings nationwide, Kate Farms is increasingly reaching a broader group of consumers seeking high-quality nutrition to support evolving health needs — from filling common nutrient gaps to supporting changing eating behaviors driven by the growing use of GLP-1 medications.

Since launching in Walmart in the fourth quarter of 2025, Kate Farms has grown retail distribution for High Protein Nutrition Shake more than sevenfold, with availability expected to reach more than 6,800 Walmart and CVS stores nationwide by August.

“Kate Farms was built on the belief that nutrition should meet real health needs with higher standards,” said Tom Beecher, president of Kate Farms. “As more people look for ways to support their health in everyday life, we see an opportunity to bring clinically developed, high-quality nutrition to more people in more places. This expansion reflects the next chapter of our mission: making good nutrition more accessible while staying true to the clinical rigor, ingredient standards, and care that define Kate Farms.”

With the expanded Walmart footprint and recent CVS launch, High Protein Nutrition Shake is expected to be available in more than 6,800 Walmart and CVS stores nationwide by August 2026.
