People who aren’t able to consume lactose or choose to follow a vegan diet will undeniably be familiar with all kinds of plant-based milk alternatives that are now available on the market. From soy milk to almond milk to oat milk, there is certainly no shortage of choices out there. While all of the aforementioned options are popular and widely-available, have you heard about the newest craze in plant-based milk, pea milk?
As strange as it might sound, pea milk is gaining more and more popularity as a plant-based milk alternative. Made with yellow split peas which are generally soaked in water and then made into a soluble solution which has a thick and creamy texture.
Pea milk is available in both unsweetened and sweetened/flavored editions, with the latter generally being preferred due to its more dairy milk-like taste. Flavored options on the market include vanilla and chocolate pea milk.
One of the big draws of pea milk is its environmental-friendliness. Using non-GMO products, unlike soy milk, and requiring much less water than other plant-based milk alternatives, pea milk is a product that is generally considered to be the most eco-friendly milk alternative.
With all of these points in its favor, it’s no surprise that pea milk is becoming more and more popular every day. Have you given it a try yet?
