These new Planteneers functional systems have been added to the brand's plant-based portfolios as part of its initiative to expand on its high-protein, plant-based solutions. The solutions include a drink within its fiildDairy NEB series and boasts a 6% protein content with plant-based fiber source from inulin and comes in full flavor options including vanilla, strawberry and pistachio that are each naturally lactose-free. The range also includes plant-based pudding that's carrageenan-free with an oat, coconut or soy-based recipe that has 10% protein content with a satisfying texture.
The company commented on the new Planteneers functional systems saying, "Protein is seen as the power for all-around wellbeing. With these systems, manufacturers can expand the growth of the high-protein market into the plant-based sector, delivering well-being moments and rich delight for the senses.”
