Nestlé Unveils Oat And Fava Bean Plant-Based Beverage
Nestlé has unveiled a new plant-based beverage developed from oats and fava beans, which the company says is a ‘first-to-market’ innovation.
The Natural Bliss product is described as boasting a ‘mild, nutty taste and smooth texture’, features five grams of protein per serving, and is available in the US in two varieties, original and unsweetened.
“Fava beans are a great source of protein, which is why we are exploring their use in different types of plant-based alternatives,” commented Christoph Bolten, head of the Nestlé Institute of Food Sciences. “While developing the product, we selected the fava bean variety, that would bring the most complete nutritional elements to the recipe.”
The new beverage joins Nestlé’s range of plant-based products made from ingredients such as peas, rice, oat, soy, coconut, and almonds.
According to the company, it is currently exploring the ‘next generation’ of plant-based ingredients, such as fava beans, while also considering different functional, nutritional, and sustainability aspects.
