Quick, hearty, and flavourful, these additions show how Dobra Kaloria blends convenience with great taste. Pro tip: don’t boil the hot dog – just heat it for 2 minutes in hot water!

3. Vly launches ‘vly Leicht’ – a light milk alternative: Nicolas Hartmann introduced a new pea and almond-based drink with just 13 kcal per 100 ml, 0% fat, and over 70% lower carbon footprint. Already available at Rewe and online.
