Nush, a British dairy alternatives company, has updated its yogurt line with a new high-protein recipe and introduced a brand-new vanilla fudge flavor for Veganuary 2025.
The brand, known for its dairy-free and soy-free live almond yogurts and spreads, stated that their enhanced yogurt formula is 'creamier, thicker, and tastier,' produced after 'extensive' testing. Each yogurt in the range now provides at least 16g of plant protein per tub, with the natural SKU providing 23g of protein in a 350g serving.
Nush says the new yogurt recipes are made with sustainably sourced plant protein derived from a blend of ethical European almonds and fava beans.
The Nush reformulation will refresh existing flavors such as natural, strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry, as well as a new vanilla fudge flavor. The new flavour, which is made with a refined-sugar-free coconut caramel, seeks to give a delectable, low-sugar dessert alternative for consumers looking for a sweet treat without compromising their health goals.
This latest creation by the brand addresses increased demand for high-protein goods, with sales climbing 16.6% in the last year, according to NIQ data.
