Emerging Trends Shaping Innovation in Plant-Based Beverages
Companies in the plant-based beverage space are increasingly focusing on launching innovative products to gain a competitive advantage. One prominent area of development is protein-based beverages, which are enriched with protein to support muscle recovery, boost nutrition, or act as meal replacements. These drinks commonly include ingredients like whey, casein, soy, or plant-derived proteins.
For example, in October 2024, a US-based company introduced a new range of plant-based beverages under the brand Whole Moon. These drinks blend whole-roasted almonds, oats, pistachios, and soybeans, delivering a rich, nutty taste along with complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids. Available in Almond, Oat, and Pistachio flavors, these beverages are low in sugar, free from dairy and gluten, vegan, and verified by the Non-GMO Project.
