Pea milk

Yes, apparently you can get milk that’s made out of peas. However, they’re not the green peas from your freezer, but more the yellow split peas. If you purchase this product, you will be very surprised to find out that it doesn’t taste like peas at all.

As a matter of fact, it is rather creamy and it has a more milk-like taste than other plant-based alternatives. It is made by grinding the peas into flour, and then the protein is extracted and combined with water.

One of the best things about drinking pea milk is that they are legumes, which means that their milk is loaded with good nutrients, such as iron and calcium.

It is also gluten-free, and an amazing source of protein. However, pea milk is known to contain oils, sweeteners, and thickeners, to give it a better taste and texture, so you should look for unsweetened types.
