USA Volleyball
Teams Up with
Almond Breeze
USA Volleyball and
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze
have
partnered for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, making
Almond Breeze
the organization’s official almondmilk.
Blue
Diamond
will be providing
Almond Breeze
to USA Volleyball
team members, coaches, trainers, chefs and nutritionists as
a good alternative to dairy beverages.
“USA Volleyball welcomes
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze
to our growing list of valued partners,” USA Volleyball
Secretary General Kerry Klostermann said. “By
partnering with
Almond Breeze
, a beverage that offers
consumers and athletes a healthy lifestyle option, we can
provide added value to our National Team athletes and
support staff to promote greater success in training and
competition. Our athletes serve as healthy, strong and
courageous role models for our hundreds of thousands of
junior athletes, and this partnership helps connect the two
groups with better-for-you choices.”
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze
will not only help fuel
Team USA Volleyball athletes, but will have a
presence at select USA Volleyball events, including
the USA Junior Beach Tour and Tour
Championships, 2016 USA Volleyball
Girls’ Junior National Championships,
2016 USA Volleyball Boys’ Junior
National Championships and
the USA Volleyball Open National
Championships.
“We are thrilled to partner with
and support Team USA Volleyball
as they prepare for GOLD in the
2016 Rio Summer Olympic games,”
said Suzanne Hagener, Group
Marketing Manager at
Blue Diamond
.
“Our cooperative has been a longtime
supporter and partner of various USA
athletic teams. The USA Volleyball
Teams are tireless in their efforts to
train and perform, and
Almond Breeze
could not be more proud to support
and fuel these athletes with our variety
of almondmilk.”
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze
comes in a wide range of
sizes and flavors – many of which are available in both
refrigerated and shelf-stable varieties. Refrigerated
varieties can be immediately poured over cereal or
consumed chilled in a standalone glass; shelf-stable
varieties offer the convenience of
Almond Breeze
any time,
but do not need to be refrigerated until opened. Most
recently,
Almond Breeze
introduced its newest, creamy
offering – the
Almond Breeze
Almondmilk Cashewmilk.
