You've got great taste and nutrition!

In recent years, we've seen a growing variety of plant-based milk alternatives make their way onto supermarket shelves – from oat to almond, soya and now yellow split pea.

So how do you know which to go for? Taste is obviously vital, but it's equally important to make sure your milk alternatives are also nutritionally balanced. If you're starting to include more plant-based food and drink into your diet, there should be no compromise on taste or nutrition.

What is Wunda yellow split pea milk alternative? And why is everyone talking about it?

Plant-based dairy alternatives are far more than a mere trend – they are growing increasingly popular compared to their dairy counterpart.

The new alternative, Wunda, is taking the plant-based milk industry by storm. Made from yellow split peas, it's high in protein, high in fibre, high in calcium and fortified with vitamins D, B2 and B12.

It's a great choice for a plant-based diet

In a world where vegan diets are becoming increasingly popular, it's becoming easier for people to find an alternative to their dairy products with a range of ingredients such as oat, almond and soy.

However not only is Wunda dairy-free and vegan* but its main ingredient, yellow split pea protein, means it's also suitable for those with a variety of different intolerances and allergies as it's gluten, lactose, soya and nut free.

The brand's recipe innovation has meant Wunda has a versatile and delicate flavour, making it a great milk alternative in a variety of both sweet and savoury dishes!

*Certified by the Vegan Society.

It's high in pea protein

Wunda's starting ingredient, the yellow split pea, is a great source of protein, with Wunda containing 2.2g of protein per 100ml.

If you're not including animal foods like meat and dairy into your diet, it's important to consume a range of different plant protein sources to ensure the body gets all it needs.
