Like Milk is a nutritious plant milk, made from pea protein which has been formulated with the same levels of calcium and protein as full cream dairy milk but with zero fat and lower levels of sugar. It is the first plant-based beverage in Australia to be made using pea protein, which has been selected for its robust amino acid profile and add Calcium, Phosphorus, Vitamins B2 and B12 and vitamin D. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which our bodies need for muscle development and wellbeing.
The nine essential amino acids present in Like Milk are important to eat as our bodies can’t naturally make them. These nine essential amino acids can all be found naturally in animal proteins and dairy as well as our Like Milk, too. Along with calcium, Like Milk is also fortified with phosphorus, vitamins B2 and B12, the same goodness found in dairy.
