Why do we love Wunda? A nutritionist's perspective

Anna Collins is one of the Nutrition Managers for Nestlé. She is passionate about health and wellbeing, and believes plant-based eating is the positive way forward.

Shopping for a plant-based milk alternative can be an overwhelming experience when there are so many different choices available. 

Like many people, as a family, we are looking for milk alternatives that taste great and can be used in our everyday meals without the need to stock different types of plant-based milk alternatives in our fridge.  

We want a milk alternative that is nutritionally balanced and can be consumed as part of a healthy and balanced diet. 

That’s why Wunda is a great choice - it’s a plant-based milk alternative that offers nutritional balance and versatility without compromising on taste.   

Why do we love Wunda

The nutrition profile of plant-based milk alternatives can vary enormously depending on the plant ingredient used, as well as the other ingredients added. 

Wunda is made from yellow split peas which are a member of the legume family, which also includes chickpeas, lentils and many other beans. These pea superstars are a source of good quality plant-based protein, and also froth incredibly well – great for our morning coffee.   
 
Wunda has strong nutrition credentials – such as being high in protein, fibre and calcium, while being low in fat, sugar and salt. It also provides a source of vitamin D, B2 and B12, which are important nutrients for a balanced plant-based diet.  

As well as being nutritionally balanced, Wunda tastes great in everything that we would otherwise use milk for; it is delicious poured on cereal, in a cup of tea, and cooked in our favourite family meals. 

Looking for delicious and nutritionally balanced recipes to make with Wunda

Wunda can be a fantastic go-to breakfast choice thanks to its creamy flavour and high pea protein content. You can add Wunda to your morning coffee or tea, and even get creative by using it in a fruity breakfast smoothie. On a weekend, my family loves making Wunda pancakes or adding Wunda to a scrambled egg dish.  

It also works great as a milk substitute in our favourite baking recipes, like a family lasagne, or a vegan banana bread.
