Consumers actively seek foods that are healthier to buy in their grocery shop and seeing a high protein claim on a package caters to that desire. Products made from plant protein are very on trend as plant proteins have a natural health halo and consumers are open to them in many forms. Collaborate with our food experts to create a great-tasting pancake with a high protein claim that is made with VITESSENCE® Pulse 1803 Pea protein, perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.
Having plant-based options for everyday food items is becoming a common consumer expectation that you can cater for at breakfast time. 42% of the world’s population restricts the amount of animal-based products they consume. 43% of European consumers are cutting back on meat but not avoiding it completely1. This plant-based diet trend is being driven by a group of consumers known as Flexitarians who are looking for a nutritional balanced diet with a reduced negative impact on the environment. You can use the versatile VITESSENCE® Pulse 1803 Pea protein to make fluffy plant-based pancakes.
