Looking to Chirp Up Your Morning? Peeps-Flavored Milk Hits Shelves

Now you can eat your Peeps and drink them, too.

Prairie Farms, a dairy company in Illinois, has teamed up with the sugary treat maker to deliver Peeps-flavored milk.

The milk comes in three different flavors: Chocolate Marshmallow Milk, Marshmallow Milk and Easter Egg Nog. Both marshmallow milks can be purchased in reduced-fat varieties, and the calories for each milk range from 190 to 250 calories, according to Prairie Farms' website

According to a press release, Peeps is the No. 1 non-chocolate candy brand at Easter. Prairie Farm said that given that fact, โ€œcreating a line of flavors that joins the two strong brands was an obvious choice.โ€

The "PEEP-tastic" milk hits retail outlet shelves in the Midwest this week. But Peep-lovers will have to act fast to get their fix.

โ€œThe milk is seasonal for Easter, so depending on the store it should be available until early April,โ€ Rebecca Leinenbach, vice president of marketing and communications for Prairie Farms, told NBC Owned Television Stations.

The Peeps milk closely follows a wider trend of enchanced offerings in the dairy industry. Coca-Colaโ€™s new milk line called Fairlife includes flavored versions and adds 50 percent more natural protein and calcium than regular milk.
