Algae protein drink
New plant-based beverage company Plantsy has launched what it says is the first-ever algae protein drink in the UK.
Algae is regarded a ‘complete protein’ as it contains all the essential amino acids required to build and maintain muscle mass.
Plantsy beverages, which champion this plant-based product, come in two flavours – rhubarb & ginger and blood orange & grapefruit. They contain 15g of protein, are GMO-free, and rich in dietary fibre, healthy lipids, vitamins, and minerals.
The products are also gluten-free, soy-free, and free from artificial sweeteners.
“As a person who has always been into sports and healthy lifestyle choices, I decided to integrate a plant-based diet into my life and learn more about nutrition and wellness,” said Plantsy founder Anya Prudkova.
“I started my degree in nutrition after I realised how passionate I am about plant-based alternatives. I want to empower and inspire people to be stronger and healthier using creative and nutritious vegan products designed to benefit an active lifestyle. My purpose is to make healthy simple and convenient.”
The drinks are available for purchase at Green Bay, Eat 17, and online on Plantsy’s online store at an RRP of £2.99.
