New Hype about Milk Alternatives

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Soy milk, almond milk, and the like have become competitors for good old cow’s milk in recent years. And now they have to tremble again because the pea milk is on the rise! The company “DrinkStar” produces the drink based on vegetable peas.

Pea milk: the must-have of the season?

It is white and looks like conventional cow’s milk, and yet it is not: Pea Milk. But neither the color nor the taste should be reminiscent of peas. In May 2016, the US manufacturer “ripple” brought the special milk alternative to the American market, which consists of a mix of yellow peas, sunflower oil, cane sugar, and algae oil.

Pea milk is so healthy

Pea milk contains important omega-3 fatty acids and is rich in calcium. It is also considered a protein bomb among vegan milk alternatives. One portion, i.e. around 200 milliliters, should contain an impressive 8 grams of protein. This would make pea milk just as rich in protein as soy and cow’s milk.

Of course, a distinction must be made here between vegetable and animal protein: the latter is similar in composition to body protein and can therefore be utilized somewhat better. But vegetable protein also has significant advantages over animal protein. Purines, saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol are hardly included.

Pea drink

The Rosenheim beverage specialist DrinkStar has developed a German version of pea milk. PRINCESS AND THE PEA is naturally lactose, gluten, and allergen-free, making it a good alternative for people with food allergies or intolerances. The protein content is comparable to the protein content of classic cow’s milk. The milk alternative is enriched with calcium and refined with rapeseed oil containing omega-3 fatty acids.

The pea drink can either be drunk pure or used to refine coffee, tea, and muesli as well as in the preparation of meals.
