Sophie's Bionutrients developed the world's first micro-algae-based milk alternative and it's safe for those who are impacted by lactose intolerance. The dairy replacement is made with the startup's signature micro-algae protein flour and water, and it is said to be comparable in nutritional value to cow's milk. The product sample is described as having a similar texture to nut-based milk, although it may be refined more to be more like traditional dairy products. There's also room for the dairy alternative to have its protein value elevated, since the ratios of water to water-soluble micro-algae flour may be adjusted.
By working with plant-based and sustainable alternative protein, Sophie's Bionutrients is on a mission to create superfoods of the future.
