Nush has relaunched its almond milk-based yogurt range with a brand-new, higher-protein recipe.

The protein content of each yogurt pot ranges from 16g to 23g per 350g. All are free from both dairy and soy, and are suitable for vegans. The yogurts come in six flavors: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, vanilla fudge (a brand-new addition), and natural.

The natural flavor packs the highest protein content, while raspberry contains the lowest. All yogurt pots are now available to buy from Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Marks & Spencer, Planet Organic, Whole Foods Market, and select independent health stores. They are priced at £3.25 for a 350g pot and £1.90 for a 120g pot.

The UK’s ‘first-ever’ high-protein, soy-free yogurt?

Nush Foods is a UK-based dairy-free brand founded in 2016 by former London police officers Bethany and Paul Eaton. Motivated by Bethany’s personal health journey and her background in nutrition, the couple set out to create a plant-based yogurt alternative that matched the taste and texture of traditional dairy products. They began by crafting almond milk yogurts in their kitchen, eventually launching Nush as the UK’s first producer of nut milk yogurts.

The new range is believed to be the first high-protein, soy-free vegan yogurt available in the UK. The products are said to be creamier, tastier, and more nutritious than previous versions.

Tiba Tempeh, which was named the fastest-growing meat-free brand earlier this year, has just announced the launch of a new Smoky Tempeh Block.

The block is infused with a smoky marinade and can be used in a variety of dishes, including stir-fries, sandwiches, and pastas. It will be available on Ocado from April 18 and in Waitrose and Sainsbury’s at the end of the month. The 220g product, which retails at £3.00, is a new addition to Tiba Tempeh’s growing plant-based range, which also includes an Original Block and Sweet Chilli Pieces.

“We’re so excited to launch our new Smoky Tempeh as a natural extension to our best-selling Original Block,” said Alexandra Longton, cofounder of Tiba Tempeh, in a statement. “We’ve crafted the tastiest protein-packed tempeh,
which we know consumers will love. We think this is the tastiest tempeh on the market, and we can’t wait for people to try it.”

The product launch coincides with increased retail distribution for the brand. From April 30, Waitrose will carry three of Tiba Tempeh’s products – Original Block, Sweet Chilli Pieces, and Smoky Block – in over 200 stores for the first time. The brand will appear under Waitrose’s “BrandsNew” platform, which highlights emerging brands in the food space. “We are delighted to be working with Waitrose to bring more naturally delicious and nutritious plant-based options to even more consumers,” Longton said.

Tiba Tempeh is currently the UK’s largest tempeh-only brand and has seen rapid growth despite a downturn in the overall meat-free category. The brand reports a 736 percent year-on-year increase in retail sales value, representing a £1.2 million (USD $1.5 million) rise over the past year. Longton attributes the growth to increasing consumer demand for minimally processed alternatives to conventional meat substitutes.

OGGS Launches ‘UK First’ Iced Loaf Cake In Supermarkets https://plantbasednews.org/lifestyle/food/oggs-iced-loaf-cake/ https://plantbasednews.org/lifestyle/food/oggs-iced-loaf-cake/#respond Mon, 02 Sep 2024 15:32:43 +0000 https://plantbasednews.org/?p=330575 OGGS is expanding its vegan cake collection

Vegan brand OGGS has released what’s thought to be the first full sized iced loaf cake available at UK supermarkets – and it’s completely free from animal products.

The company, which specializes in vegan baking goods and sweet treats, has announced the launch of the Cruelty Free Lemon Loaf Cake in Tesco stores and Ocado from today (Monday, September 2).

According to the brand, loaf cakes in supermarkets have previously been “dominated by the same brands and own-label products.” Research conducted by OGGS found that the younger generation view the category as lacking in ethical and sustainable options.

The new product is aiming to plug this gap. The loaf consists of a soft lemon flavored sponge that’s iced like a cupcake and topped with lemon drizzle and crunchy lemon pieces.

‘Better for chickens, better for the planet’

“We know cake shoppers are looking for delicious, ethical treats – which is why we’re so excited by the launch of our new Lemon Loaf Cake,” Hannah Carter, founder and CEO at OGGS, said in a statement. “We’ve taken the best parts of a cupcake and a loaf cake and smashed them together for a treat that’s better for chickens, better for the planet, and better for your tastebuds!”

Carter established OGGS in 2019. The brand has a mission to “remove the ‘hidden’ animal products in our food.” As well as ready made cakes, OGGS sells ingredients like aquafaba and a whole egg alternative in UK supermarkets.

The majority of traditional cake recipes use eggs, which come with significant ethical concerns. The UK consumes more than 13 billion eggs each year, the majority of which come from the 40.9 million “egg-laying” hens who are farmed in the country. More than half of eggs are “free-range” – which many people believe means ethical – but multiple investigations have found huge suffering on such farms.

Eggs are also environmentally destructive. Chicken farms contribute to air and water pollution, and an investigation published last year found that farmers in England were using a legal loophole to pollute rivers with excess manure. A growing number of people are choosing vegan cake brands to avoid contributing to the huge costs of the egg industry.
