Pea milk (also known as pea protein beverage) is a type of plant milk. It is made using pea protein extracted from yellow peas,[1] usually in combination with water, sunflower oil, micronutrients added for food fortification, thickeners, and phosphates. Commercial pea milk typically comes in sweetened, unsweetened, vanilla and chocolate flavors.[2] It is marketed as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to almond milk and a non-GMO alternative to soy milk.[3] It is a suitable product for people with soy allergies.[4]
Like other plant milks, pea milk is perceived to be environmentally sustainable and requires less water than the production of dairy milk.[5] There is currently limited information on the total carbon emissions and water consumption of producing ready-to-drink pea milk.[6] Plain pea milk is described to have an off-white colour,[7] a creamy texture,[5] and a thick consistency.[8] Unsweetened pea milk in particular is noted for having a savoury, "pea-like" flavour.[8][9]
