Now it’s pea milk

Written by 

A recent study published by McGill University in Canada claimed that cow milk is superior in nutrition to plant-based milks such as coconut or rice milk.

But vegan milk brand Ripple says the study falls flat, especially when compared with its unique pea-protein-based milk.

Ripple’s co-founder Neil Renninger, PhD, spoke with FoodNavigatorUSA about the research and about the company’s product. He agreed that some dairy alternatives aren’t as good as they could be, but he reiterated that Ripple can make “products that are actually superior to dairy from a nutrition standpoint”.
